Ahh ok! Yeah I really feel that anytime after 7 weeks ..."
PA requires that puppies be 8 weeks old, too. Not every state has the same rules. It's the same age for kittens in PA, too. With my kitties, it was always 'til death us do part for me. I ended up keeping so many litters of kitties over the years that I have lost track of the number of cats I've actually had.😊🐱🐈💓💕💖

I didn't know that anyone knew exactly what he died of. Possibly heart problems?
Pamela wrote: "😥😢😭I'm so sad about Johnny!😞☹😪"I know, me too... I get devastated over all the puppies leaving. 😭 I'll especially be sad over my little Molly. I may have gotten a little attached to her...😂 But, thankfully, she's only going maybe 20 minutes from where we live.

You know the answer?
It is believed he had colorectal cancer.

The cat I had before Clara was named Molly. She was only very young when I lost her to a weird nasal cancer. My best friend lost her young dog to the same thing at the same time my Molly died. We always thought that was odd.

Aww! 😥 It's horrible to lose an animal.

They have a yearly memorial service for all of the pets, which is very moving. The pet cemetery is directly attached to the cemetery for humans. It's a beautiful place. Our Johnny is buried right next to a statue of St. Francis of Assisi.
Aww that is so sweet and sad!!
Emma wrote: "Aww that is so sweet and sad!!"Johnny was buried in a little casket and the cemetery workers even put up a canopy for the funeral service, which was delivered by the priest from the adjoining pet memorial chapel. After the service, they lowered the casket and buried him. It was just like a human's funeral.😥

That is so sweet! My favorite cat I've ever had died on my 14th birthday. That was one of the saddest days of my life. 😥 I really grieved her for awhile, until my best friend gave me one of her kittens that she had born from her cat. And she surprised me with her. 😄 I still have that cat, her name's Marble.
Oh, I'm so glad you still have Marble! People who are not animal lovers don't understand the depth of the love we feel for our pets. I only saw my Dad cry twice in his life...when Johnny died and also when my grandmother died, who was actually my Mom's mother. It made my Dad so mad when people complained about their in-laws. He always said he had the best mother-in-law any man could have, and he really did love her. In any case, my Dad was nearly inconsolable both times. Our pets are family members to those of us who love them so.

A former president of the United States discovered Hawthorne dead.With the author’s health failing in the spring of 1864 as a likely result of gastrointestinal cancer, Hawthorne’s old college friend, former president Franklin Pierce traveled with him to New Hampshire’s White Mountains with the hope that the region’s rarified air could be an elixir. On the evening of May 18 inside the Pemigewasset House hotel in Plymouth, New Hampshire, Hawthorne retired early after a dinner of toast and tea. During the night, Pierce awoke to check on his friend in the adjoining room. The former president placed his hand upon Hawthorne’s forehead and found that he was dead. Pierce’s presence fulfilled a passage in Hawthorne’s novel “The Blithedale Romance”: “Happy the man that has such a friend beside him, when he comes to die!”
