  Crombie, taken to young Reply Contact Crombie was two weeks shy of 10 months old when he went missing. A friend said they chased off an eagle that had killed a little black kitten that looked exactly like Crombie. Upon hearing that news we've stopped actively hunting for him and have steeled our hearts for the worst. So if in the end it wasn't him (which I doubt) and he does come home then it will be a great surprise. But my heart tells me that Crombie is no longer with us. He was annoying, whiny, obnoxious and loved to cuddle. He was a great hunter and master dog handler. He was a prince in the making with an addiction to Temptations. As much as I didn't want him in the beginning, I miss him the most. I had hoped I wouldn't be posting in this section any time soon as my animals are fairly young and healthy. But it seems The Alpha had other plans. RIP Crombie. You are sorely missed. 6 weeks:    9 months   Rest In Peace Crombie. You will be greatly missed - 07/25/2007 - 05/??/2008 -I may have ears and a tail but I'm still the person you used to know- He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

I do understand your decision though. There is only so much that can be done. I'm not a puppy here. I've been around i-dog (aka dog.com) since, I believe it was, 2001.

  Re: Crombie, taken to young Reply Contact   It makes me feel better knowing he's not alone up there. He was such a social little guy. BF and I have agreed to get another kitten next summer. And he has agreed to my conditions when we get said kitten. The kitten will be altered when it comes of age and it'll be an indoor only cat with tags and collar this time. Hopefully I can find an orange kitten again. Rest In Peace Crombie.
