Goodbye to Dumperoo

We said goodbye to our sweet, frail little Dumperoo last Tuesday. Dumper was always a sickly sort of kitty. He had good times and bad times. He recently went through a bad time and just didn't get any better. 


It was fourteen years ago that Poppy came home from our local convenience site and said to me, "there was a little Tabby kitten sitting near the dumpster, he looked up at me and meowed". 


"Oh Dan, let's go back and get him" I said. We did go back and there he was, sitting in the same spot. We brought him home. That's were he got the awful name of "Dumpster Kimball".


We mostly called him "Woo Woo" , "Dumperoo", or "Dumper". He was such a sweet kitty and was always in my lap, any time I found a minute to sit.  Rest in peace sweet Dumper. We sure miss you. 

Thank you dear friends for visiting. 

Love, Henny

  2. Oh, Henny, I'm so sorry too to hear about your loss. Dumperoo reminds me of a cat we had years back (Gigi). She was a gray/brown tabby too... and the sweetest thing. But Dumper enjoyed 14 good years with you thanks to you and Poppy.

  12. What a wonderful rescue story! Sweet ol' Poppy. I know Dumperoo had a wonderful life with you. We just rescued Leo from under our house. Have had a cat for nearly 30 years. He's a doll. I'm so sorry for your loss!

  13. Oh big tears as I read this today dear Henny. The hardest thing we have to learn when we bring all our furry friends into our lives, is to say Goodbye to them. Thinking of you Henny & sending love across the miles. Remember what a wonderful life little Dumpy had with you - how lucky he was the day Poppy found him. xx

  16. Well Dumperoo chose the right place to park himself and the right person to look up to. How wonderful that y'all went back and rescued him. He had a good long run and such nice people to live with. Tabbies have such sweet little faces, they are hard to resist. I know you must miss him a bunch.

  20. Oh so sorry to hear you have lost your dumperoo. He was a beautiful kitty and sounds like he was an awesome pet. He was so blessed to be loved by you guys for fourteen years. We found an orange tabby in a dump one year too! I'm glad you had such big hearts to take in and make a great home for that kitty. God bless you both.

  21. I found a kitten in similar circumstances and called it Oscar (as in Oscar the grouch). I later found out it was a girl but Oscar stuck!

    I'm so sorry, it's hard to let them go

    Blessings,

  37. So sad for you. I well know the feeling.💖

  38. Oh I certainly have been there friend. Our fur babies are for such a brief time on loan to us. Yet what they give for the little bit of love and attention far surpasses what we give to them. Have always believed that what we love in this life we will find on the other side in heaven. Nothing Biblical that supports the thought except the knowledge that love never ends. Take care friend. Hugs!

  41. I am sad to hear that Dumperoo passed away, but what a wonderful life you gave him. He could not have found better. I have a sickly little cat, too, and the vets can never find what is wrong. But he enjoys his life, as your sweet kitty, did, too. You will see him again!
