Today marks my 7th anniversary on this forum. However not a day for celebration. Tonight we will be having our beloved 15 year old cat Rusty euthanized due to ongoing health issues. He has been with us since 6 weeks old. For the pet lovers out there you know the trauma for an owner that accompanies such a decision. I believe I've never asked anyone here for anything and trust I did not offend anyone here during my stay. If so I apologize. What I would like to see in Rusty's honor is postings of your rusty,rustic,russet toned coins or any coins that celebrate his life. This will be much appreciated. And if/when the time comes for such a decision for your pet, may you find comfort in your time of sorrow. Thank you all once again.

    Aw. So sorry buddy. Us animal lovers can certainly relate. I for one, had a few of our dear doggies leave us. Heartbreaking! After all, they end up being like family. You must remember, they are in a far better place than us right now. Running around with our other departed pets. ;)

    We've lost a few over the last few decades. It never gets easier, the loss is great, but experience of having shared our lives with them was greater. RIP Rusty.......I share your grief.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. Words really don’t apply at times like this but many of of here have lost
    a family pet and my heart goes out to you. It’s been over 5 years now that I lost mine and hardly a day

    So sorry to hear about Rusty, but he is depending on you do make the right decision for him. It is always hard.
    We lost two of our pups last fall - really tore us up but we still have one dog that get three times the attention these days!
    Here is the best I can do for a tribute to Rusty.

    My guy and gal.

    Sorry for your loss. Hope you find a new friend soon.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. It's going on 18 years since I was last in your shoes, and while I still miss my friend, when I think back, it's all the great memories that come to mind. Going back even further, I, too had a Rusty--my second of three hamsters, with a deep brown coat. I hope that over time the sadness can give way to so many years of fond memories. I gave my pup an extra hug tonight.

    So sorry for your loss. We went through this last year with three of our dogs, all up around 15-16 years old. It's not an easy time, heartbreaking, but always remember the joy you brought each other and keep the memory alive! I know you said rusty coin, but I wanted to post something just rusty, like these anchors!!!

    RIP I am sorry for your loss. I never experinced the pain since my parents did not tell me they put my dog down for roughly a year (I was living in the US and Sunny was in Ukraine). RIP SUNNY

    @BLUEJAYWAY I'm so very sorry for your loss. I know well the trauma of losing a beloved pet. I lost my favorite pet ever in 2004, and I still get upset about losing him when I think about him. Again, I am so sorry :(
