   I like your new look Broomie.

   MARG! Yesterday was a sad day for me. Had to
   take my 16 year old cat to the Vet’s and have it
   put to sleep’ It quit eating and was down to only
   six pounds. Will miss him as he was like a family
   member. I’m surprised your Greyhound is still
   living. That breed usually doesn’t make it past
   ten due to their small heart. You will miss him
   to when he leaves this world.

   I’m sorry about your kitty. We had to put our little 16 year old dog down on 11-12. She started having serial seizures, and required so much medicine to stop the seizures that she couldn’t even open her eyes. I held her in my lap, and petted her, and told her what a good dog she had been.

   Aye margueritem,there’s nothing sadder than the loss of a loved one,with the children all grown and gone your pets ARE your family; and the loss of one would hurt no less than the loss of any member of anyone’s family.

   Broomie, you don’t do “The Hair Toss” until after you’ve had your hair styled!

   What a sad thread.
   Aren’t there any funny comments about the strip?
   Such as Broomie’s talent to make herself look ridiculous?

   When I saw this strip at another newspaper, all I could think of was; Olivia probably had hair drawn with a chisel marker and Broomie a 0.5 pencil.

   I, too, am sorry to hear about your losses. My mother who lives alone, just had to have her companion cat of eight years put to sleep, kidney problems. It’s lonely without them.

    Greyhounds have over-sized hearts compared to their weight and commonly live to 14-15 years. My Katie Bell lived to be 14 and might have lasted longer, but she injured herself falling into a ditch. Breeding 5-year old winners makes for very healthy animals.

    Yeah, the saucy toss is also a maneuver that takes plenty of charm training. The way Broomie did it wouldn’t have worked even if she’d started off with the right hairstyle. Sigh.

    Thank you, everyone for sharing your stories of older pets, and for your sympathy. It’s sad to see them go, but we know that they had happy lives, and were well loved.

    And they will meet us at the Rainbow Bridge sometime in the far distant future.

    Will this do? My first thought was that Broomie brought a whole new meaning to the term “hair net”.
