Hi everyone, Sami the Claw has left the building. Sami was our biggest cat, but cancer has a way to whittle down the very best. Sami - 6/16/98 to 2/12/07 My wife writes:

My sweet Sami has gone over the Rainbow Bridge. :(He lost a lot of weight in the past month and was having a respiratory problem. When Daddy and I took him to the v*t, she was very concerned and gave him oxygen throughout the whole day, took some blood and then sent us to the Veterinary Specialty Center in Buffalo Grove.It did not take the vet on duty very long to tell us it was cancer. After a discussion, Tom and I and the vet decided that letting Sam go quickly and without pain, was the best option.He was such a brave boy. He looked up at me, rested his little head on my arm, and I stroked his soft fur until he was gone.It was very quick, very painless, and the vet, Barb, was the most caring and sweet woman! The best one I have ever met! She, above all else, made it easier. Her full explantion and kind words throughout, were the epitomy of what vet caring and service should be.And now Sami has joined Nick and Angel and Olivia and Purrs and Trouble, and his daddy Liebschen, as well as all the pups in the “ultimate kitty-play-park” just over the Rainbow Bridge.He will be missed like no words can ever express. But one thing I have learned is selfishness of humans is wrong in these awful times, and we have to let go and let God care for our babies when we as humans cannot anymore.My sweet baby Sam-I-am…I love you, Daddy loves you and Willie, above all will miss his playmate and Brofur.Have FUN up there!!!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
