Tinks. Tinky Twowsas. Mr Tinks. Dickie The Tink.
You came into our life by degrees.
From the very first time you saw our beautiful golden Ross, you were smitten. You made him your Very Best Buddy. He was Batman to your Robin. Maverick to your Goose. :)
You chased each other all over the gardens, having a high old time. Every photograph I've looked back on in those early days - there you both are. Snuggled up together, up to mischief together, paw to paw, tail for tail.
You came into our life by degrees.
All through those lazy summer days. All through those golden autumn evenings. All through those long winter nights, when we would wake, simply knowing you were shut outside in the cold. Sure enough, we would look out of the window to see you sat upon on a frost rimed table, gazing patiently at the bedroom window, knowing that if you believed firmly enough, there we'd be. And we were.
You would scamper up the stairs with Ross, and jump together on the bed, to snuggle round our feet. And each time, we took you home, and you didnt want to go. It broke our hearts.
You came into our life by degrees.
Your sheer patience, determination and tenacity won out, and gradually - there you were. With your Best Bud. Until the day your Best Bud went out into the autumn sunshine, and didnt come home. The hearts that broke that day included yours, my sweet, sensitive, complex little lad.
But we healed together, didn't we? And your original people - they so very generously gave us the gift that you could stay with us. What a bittersweet day.
You came into our life by degrees.
From then, you blossomed. You learned what it was to live life on your terms, and we learned how much love you had to give. :Luv: And there was oh such an abundance of that.
You were quixotic. Intellligent. Mischievous. Uncertain. We loved to see you with the wind up your tail, careering round the bedroom on your side, big snaggle-toothed grin, hiding under the duvet with those strong hooky paws awaiting the "unwary." Having fun. And we did a lot of that. :)
You were at your most daring when allowing us to have secretive snuggles and affection. You couldnt quite believe you were so daring. :wow: We'd come into your life by degrees, you see.
Just so.
And yet. That love wasn't enough to keep you safe. Never enough.
Another Autumn day, filled with sunshine and sharp scents, took you away from us. The cruelest kiss of metal and tarmac, and a bed of amber leaves to rest your head.
Wherever you are now, I hope that you're back with your boon companion. Batman and Robin, reunited again. Chasing the rainbow, and sleeping together in a warm tangle of limbs and tails.
We love you still. We always will. You were special to us, Tinks. Gods bless, my sweet.

such a heart breaking read sue, as usual you are an artist with words, you will always be dickie to me little man rip

I'll have to come back to your ma's beautiful farewell to you hunny bun as tears blinding me after the first sentence :'( :'( :'(
Thinking of you Sue and Ken and Moray and your beautiful sensible boy :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Sue, that is such a beautiful tribute to your gorgeous boy :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Like Rosella I found that very hard to read through the tears, a beautiful tribute to a very special boy :hug:
RIP Tinks, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
I just can't get my head around why life is so cruel to such good people :'( I know that there aren't any words that will take away your pain or make losing him any easier to bear but please know that I, like so many others on Purrs, have you and your OH in our thoughts :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
As Dawn has said, you are an artist with words Sue and that is one picture we all know you hoped you would never have to paint. My heart goes out to you, Ken and Moray. :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP Tinks, reunited with your Very Best Buddy. Two souls loved beyond measure and taken way too soon.
-
Oh Sue, that is so beautifully written and with so much love, that it had me in tears.
Tinks chose you as his humans and he couldn’t have chosen better.
I’m so very sorry you lost your special boy :hug:
Play hard at The Bridge Tinks x
-
Oh Sue, am so sorry..... :'(
Thinking of you, OH and Moray :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Face wet with water streaming from my eyes that is the most beautiful tribute to a much loved boy.
I remember all the trials and tribulations in the early days and how Tinks wanted to be with you and Ross, it broke my heart then as does his loss now.
RIP Tinks, play hard with your best mate Ross where both of you will be safe forever.
-
Sue, I'm sobbing :'( :'( :'( :'(
I'm so terribly sorry that you had to lose Tinks this way. No words will heal your pain right now but know you, OH and Moray are in my thoughts a lot :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP Tinks. I'm sure Ross was there to meet you. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

RIP Tinks. Dickie, your Treasure, our pleasure. :'(
It's been a week since baby Jarvis passed and Tinks is the first of our own to follow :'(
Send your Mam a rainbow when you've found your beloved Ross and brought my baby Jarvis over Rainbow Bridge, please Dickie?
Goodnight sweet snagglepuss :hug:

Darling Tinks, run free at the Bridge, you and your bestest bud.
The internal combustion engine - couldn't live without them but Oh! how much harm they do.

Tinks, you were loved so much and loved much in return.
Now reunited with his beloved Ross

Such a beautiful, eloquent epitaph for a special boy.
RIP Tinks.

What a wonderful tribute to a special puss. Know that you are in our thoughts . Play free at the bridge darling boy... :'(

Thank you everybody. It broke my heart to write it, but I couldn't not.
-
As usual Sue you painted such a lovely picture with your words. We all know how well loved Tinks was and how much you will miss him :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
So sorry to hear that, but what a wonderful tribute to a special little cat :)
-
I'll admit I've had to psyche up to reading this, Sue. I knew it would saddened me immensely, because you love your feline family so fiercely and I know you will all be hurting.
I also know that Tinks will always be able to feel that love. Because it surpasses all. I am thinking of you all and hoping Tinks found his friend quickly when he crossed The Bridge.
-
Very sorry to hear the news and thinking of you Sue during this difficult time :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Thank you both x
-
Sue I am a little late in posting. But have been thinking of you and your pain. We know when we take on these precious little lives they will leave us with some heartache. But also so many wonderful memories of the precious times they have given us. So much they give us. So much we learn from them. Julie.

Bless you Julie - as you know only too well. :hug:

A year gone by so swiftly Tinks.
Lord, how I miss you. We all do. Daddy P, me and Moray.
Did you see what did this morning? I was so lost in thought about you, my treasured Angel, that I missed my turning and got lost on the way to work. Stoopid, but that's how much you mean to me.
I lost my way, just as you did.
My love to you, my bonny lad. My love to you xxx
