    He is with Butthead now. He left just a little while ago, at home. I was with him. I don't want to leave his side yet, so I don't know when I will be back here. But I thought you all should know.

    Oh MJ!!! My heart is breaking for you. You sure know how to love your kitties and they sure know how to love you back. Donnie is now romping with Butthead, having a pain free, wonderful time. I'll be thinking of you and praying you can find peace. I'm just so sorry.

    Donny chose his own time and place--at home, with you-- and is now free of pain, healthy again, and being greeted by Butthead and all our GAs. We are so sorry that he had to leave this world too soon, but, like Butthead, he will always be with you, close in your heart. We hope that you will find peace and comfort tonight in your loving memories.

    Fly free, Captain Donovan, on your beautiful new golden wings, and send your mamabean a message that you arrived safely and landed softly. You are much loved.

    Lighting a candle tonight, in deepest sympathy,

    I am typing through tears and with the heaviest of hearts. I am so sorry. The love you hold for Donny is palpable. The delight you have shared with us in being a part of the time both Donovan and Butthead have spent with you and the gift you have given all of us by allowing us to have a glimpse of that time is very precious. What you have given each other, no one can take away and time will not diminish its meaning. The only regret is that the time is far too short. Donny and Butthead are together and maybe, just maybe, in the grand scheme of things, that is how is should be. They are both well protected in you heart. They are both with all of our guardian angels. They will share stories and chase butterflies and bask in the warmth of the sun. And most of all, wait to be reunited with those who love them and they love the best.

    Fly free sweet Donovan and land softly. You are missed.

May God be with you and your family, as well as with Butthead and Donovan. I'm sure that Butthead welcomed Donovan with open paws. I have a feeling that little Butthead WAS there in the car with you when that song played. Things happen for a reason.

    MJ,

    I am so so sorry to hear this. You knew what was good for Donovan and gave him the best gift of all, to not let him suffer. Butthead was at the bridge to greet him along with Sara and all the other GA kitty's. He was never alone and knows how very much he is loved. Donovan picked you to be his mom and he couldn't have had a better one. I know this must be very hard on you since you just lost your Butthead 6 months ago. I am crying with you and you will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

    Reading the stories that you wrote of Butthead and Donovan always brought a smile to my face. It was my honor to have known them.

    Fly Free Sweet Donovan
    You will be missed terribly

    I am typing through tears, stunned by the news.

    I can only imagine the huge whole in your heart but at least take some comfort
    that Butthead knew and was waiting for him at the bridge with all of our angels that have
    gone before him.

    Candles are lit to guide his way and I pray for his soft landing.

    Fly free sweet Donovan. Always loved, never forgotten.

    So hard to know what to say when a kitty so dear to you is gone. No more pain and suffering but it is still so hard to bear when your heart hurts so much.

    In one Donovan video he is peering out from under some leaves looking very much like a panther in a jungle. What a good boy he was , exploring the world on his leash under mommy's watchful eye. RIP Donovan.

    I just thought you would have a lot more time with Donny and my heart is breaking that you didn't. I know every day you had him was a gift but its never long enough.

    I will forever remember Donny. Please let me know if I can be there for you in any way.

    (((Oh MJ)))
    I just saw this and I am crying for you and with you, You know that I can relate so well to how you are feeling. I have my two 'old boys' at home, one sugar baby, one civie, neither doing so great, always keeping a watchful eye on them, rarely a peaceful night's sleep. Yet so happy for every moment of every day that I spend with both of my babies, basking in the glory of the great days and scared to death....

    I know that's how you must have felt also and my heart is breaking for you. You know where to find me my friend.
    Love and hugs and whatever you need to you. I hope that your grief will become easier as the days go by, as silly as that may sound now, and that somewhere will you find a reason or some source of comfort for all of the pain that you have sustained in the last 6 months.
    xoxo

    Fly Free and Land Softly Beautiful Donovan...You are with your Beloved Butthead Again as it should be...until the day you are all together again. You will be sorely missed sweetheart. rb_icon

I am sure there wasn't a dry eye sitting at our keyboards tonight upon hearing your terrible news. Take comfort in the love you shared and know that you gave him your all as I am sure he gave his all to you. I will pray that time brings you swift comfort so you may soon fall back on the fond memories of both your babies with the happiness of the love you all shared.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

    Oh MJ. You must be absolutely heartbroken. It was so obvious you loved them both so very much and were the best bean they could have asked for. Butthead was with you and Donovan in the car letting you both know he was there for you and that he was ready to guide his brother over the Bridge. Knowing that they are both healthy and happy now is some comfort but it doesn't fill the huge hole they left. Know that many tears are being shed for your pain as we know it too well ourselves. Many hugs, prayers and healing thoughts are being sent your way. Many candles are being lit in remembrance of Donovan and of Butthead and all those who have Gone Ahead. We are the LL amd FDMB family - a circle of people and Guardian Kitties who love you for the love you show. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:

    Fly free and land softly dear Donovan. wings_cat Watch over your bean as she will need strength that you and Butthead can now give her.

    I rarely go to LL but somehow I had learned about Donovan and had been keeping up with Donovan and Tawny which led me to watch your videos of Butthead(GA). You have my deepest and most heartfelt sympathy on the loss of both your precious boys. Butthead was just adorable riding in the car. I was quietly saying my prayers for Donovan that he would be given more time and was shocked when I saw he was gone.

    I, as well as so many others, know and understand the deep void left in your life now and my prayer is that time and precious memories of your boys will help you through the "moments". My heart truly goes out to you, MJ.

    Dearest MJ,

    I'm so very sorry to learn of Donovan's illness and passing. The rapidness of his illness seems so unfair. You know he would not have gone if he didn't have to.

    Fly Free gentle Donovan wings_cat I'm sure Butthead will be there to catch you when you land.

    I am reading this and your private messages, and the sweet notes on the candles that have been lit for Donovan and Butthead. I am truly and deeply touched beyond words, and still in a state of disbelief that he is gone. I could not bear to look at much of anything earlier today since I had to work, and the slightest thing would make me start sobbing :cry:

    I am probably going to take Donny to Pet Memorial Park (http://www.petmempark.com -where Butthead was taken) on Thursday. He is currently wrapped in a blanket in my chest freezer. It is very oddly comforting to still have him here. Butthead was taken away immediately afterward by my vet and ended up staying in "storage" there for a while before he was picked up. I don't want Donny to be sitting there, so I'm going to take him myself. Tomorrow I want to try to get a paw impression from him, another thing I was not able to do with Butthead. If anyone has done that before, please advise. I found a clay kit at the craft store, but I guess you can also do it with plaster or cement.

    Weirdness: Donny is on the FDMB calendar this month. My cat Andrew, whom Donovan was named after (Captain Shane Andrew Abraham Donovan), also left me in November, in 1995. I received my Scottish Fold Rescue calendar on Monday, and was in the midst of opening it up and looking at it when I noticed that Donny was in trouble. After years of submitting photos of Butthead, this year he finally received the honor of being chosen to be in that calendar. The final BG on Donny's SS occurred on the last line before formatting mysteriously changed. Now I don't have to worry about fixing it. Butthead's special rose gave me two blooms before it dried up and as far as I can tell, died. A short while ago I had thought it meant something else, and now I think it means that I would lose my two boys close together. It didn't seem possible, and yet, it happened.

    I want to share Donovan's story from the beginning, and I will do that sometime soon. I think only a few of you here have heard it. I also want to find old VHS videos of Donny as a kitten and experiencing his first snowfall. He came to Massachusetts from Florida, so it was all new to him. And I need to find photos of Donovan and baby Butthead taken by a professional photographer back when they were both going to cat shows together. Did I ever tell you about that time Donovan was going to the vet for his yearly check and as I was taking the carrier to the car thought "Geez Donny, you need to lose some weight." Unbeknownst to me, Butthead had crawled into it and taken a nap before I shoved Donny in. There he was, all squished in behind Donny.

    Maybe someday I will understand why both of my precious boys, two of the few sources of joy that I had, were taken, but right now it makes absolutely no sense to me. Very little of my life is making sense, including quite possibly this post.

    Love and prayers to everyone. I don't know what I would do without you.
    MJ

    MJ, what a lovely idea about getting a paw impression. That will be such a nice remembrance. We know you are still hurting a lot, thanks for posting and letting us know how you are. I liked your story about Butthead sneaking into the carrier :smile: and the pic of the two of them.
    Take care,

    When I lost Andy on 11/17 the vet made two paw print impressions for me. They are little hearts made of clay with his paw prints in them. I now have them in the bedroom with his ashes as well as as the wonderful GA memorials you made for me. I think the ones I have are made of some type of clay as I had to let them set out and dry for a couple of days.
    I am so sorry this has happened to you. Its very hard to understand and you keep asking yourself, why? If I can help you in any way please PM me or if you feel like you need to talk PM me. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.

    I didn't know about paw impressions before losing Maverick. The place that cremated him did this for me, as well as cutting out some fur in all colours - not just grey but the soft white belly fur that I loved kissing. Maybe they can do this for you?

    I can imagine that your world is surreal right now. None of it can be made sense of. I think you have some wonderful signs - the calendar with Butthead/Donny is meant to refill your heart. Donny took the decision out of your hands - like Maverick did for me. I would give anything for just one more day though.

    I am looking forward to hearing how Donny (who was always meant to be just yours) came into your heart.

    The carrier story made me laugh out loud. And that picture is one to treasure. The classic Butthead, and beautiful Donny. His white whiskers always mesmerized me.

    Sending hugs and love.

    The animal hospital where Belle passed made the paw impression for me. I have it sitting on her shelf, with her ashes. I often rub my finger over it, just to feel close to her.

    Things like this never make sense. It's unfair and plain old royally sucks. That said, the fact that you found joy in each other in this crazy world is a miracle. So few people know and understand that love and joy in their lifetime, and one of the prices we pay is having to deal with saying goodbye. As terrible as that can be, when you stop and think about it, it's a small price to pay for the memories we keep.
