Easy and Sammy’s Rainbow Bridge Farewell Tour
Easy and Sammy’s Rainbow Bridge Farewell Tour is a first of its kind.
What we love most about our fellow pet bloggers is their camaraderie and support during tough times. No pussy-footing here, it was a tough week and we had no plans to blog but when two of our dearest bloggers died this week, it trumped all our vet visits. Death always does. It brings us pet lovers closer together for mutual healing, knowing we are not alone.
One of the dearest cat bloggers we know, Pam and her cat Sammy of OneSpoiledCat have entertained us for years. When Sammy, age 16 was feeling his age, we worried of course but never expected the end to come this week. We hoped he’d rally once again but it was not to be and he crossed over to his next adventure. Ironically, other bloggers Madi and Easy had planned a special blog hop for Sammy, Come Fly With Us, as a tribute to Sammy before he died. Then, the unthinkable happened: Easy died first.
As you may know, we’re 110% cat around here and don’t visit many dog blogs but have loved visiting Easy Weimaraner a free-spirited Weimaraner named Easy and his wildly creative but catastrophe-prone humans in Brittany, France. For the past four years. Easy, the silvermistygrey wonderdog chewed his way into everyone’s hearts. There was never a dull moment in his world and the world is darker without him in it. But wait, nothing he did was ever like anyone else so Angel Easy is no different. Who knows, maybe, Merlin can show Easy and Sammy the joys of blogging from the great beyond.
Apparently Sammy already has today and The Come Fly With Me blog hop started yesterday with over 50 bloggers is amazing! Do scroll to the end and take a peek. Lots of love and creativity went into these posts.
The bloggers are showing their neck of the woods to Sammy but I wanted to reunite the two old friends for a new adventure of their own. Easy and Sammy’s Rainbow Bridge Farewell Tour.
On behalf of our entire feline family, we wish Angels Easy and Sammy blue skies ahead, endless chew toys and bacon. They will be welcome visitors all over the globe.
To their dear parents, we extend deepest purrs of condolence, and an easy grieving journey ahead.
Much love,
Layla, Clyde, Domino, Odin & Nou Nou
We’re a little late for the blog hop but better late than never. I’d spend two hours making individual memorial graphics for Easy and Sammy and my computer crashed so there is only this one.

Thanks dearest Nellie and mom, and all things unfold as they should 🙂 Merlin will be thrilled Sammy has continued blogging and I suspect Easy will too. It’s a new way to continue the circle of life and I hope Nellie does too when it’s time xoxox

This was a lovely, lovely post. We are simply devastated by these two enormous losses. We didn’t see this til today so obviously we aren’t posting our tribute today. We were hoping to post ours tomorrow if we can get our act together, if not, ours is going to be on Tuesday.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Caren, I was late posting and got confused from the hellishness of the week from my own illness. Don’t worry about posting tomorrow. There will be an memorial post up over the next few days. oxox

It has been such a sad week here in the blogosphere… but it does help knowing how everyone comes together when one of our members needs it.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Yes, doubly sad since a few of us are grappling with multiple vet visits and illness.
Annabelle
What a befitting tribute to both Easy and Sammy. We did not “know” Easy we did know of him and we are sorry we didn’t get to know him more. But that is always the way it is in hindsight. Your right that in grief we do rally to our friends in the smallest of hope that we can offer some comfort. At least knowing that their beloved mattered, to many and that of itself is very comforting. We wear a bittersweetness today.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Annabelle, thanks Easy and Sammy had traveled together in the past so it felt right.xoxo
Sue Brandes
Beautiful tribute. Was a very sad week.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Sue, thanks and it was a layer of sad over sad. I was worried one of our cats would be #3.
Flynn
Such a beautiful tribute to Sammy and Easy, and a lovely graphic.

Layla Morgan Wilde
Thanks Flynn and mum, what a sad awful week for all of us xoxox

I came here via a comment I saw that Pam made to you. I have subscribed because it is ALL cats here. I am catless right now but I love the cat/pet blogging community. Love your words and graphic for Sammy and Easy! I will look forward to reading here. I so miss Sammy and Easy and my heart goes out to their Moms and Dads.
Layla Morgan Wilde
Welcome and thanks, it’s all cats all the time here. We have a number of readers who are catless and our blogging community is the next best thing to having a cat.
Pam and Sammy
Oh Layla…..what a PERFECT graphic! Easy and Sam on a bike traveling around with their supply of bacon burgers! Thank you so much for honoring Sam…..we have always loved you all and of course that goes on beyond his passing. We will continue blogging just as Merlin has. My grief has been so heavy but my heart has been lighter with the warmth of friendship and love I’ve felt………..you know how that feels too. I just commented on the blog but since our comments tend to disappear from there, wanted to comment here too and THANK YOU from both Angel Sam and myself………..you are a REAL friend……love……..<3
