My close friend lost a dear friend!

Hello out there.

I have to start by saying, I don't have a pet.... But that's just because we live in a townhouse and we rent... anyway. I still would love to have one someday. Pets are wonderful additions to our homes. They share our daily lives.

This pass weekend my close friend, of over 8 years, lost her cat Bon Bon. And after being such a wonderful pet parent, accidents still can happen.

It's the things you just don't except.... there's no planning for a loss like this....
So this page is for Bon Bon and his "good best friend" Jen.

I might get a picture from her soon... I might not. But I really just want to put up some info.... she passed this along to me in a mass email... but I wanted to do one better. Since I am on Youtube I wanted to reference a webpage that people could see this info... and keep sharing it with others.


I'm not sure if this list is complete... but knowing Jen it is.
