BBHQ Announcement ~ Farewell Commander Basil 2002 ~ 2018


Dearest furiends, friends, readers and followers

It is with inconsolable sadness and many, many tears that we write this today, the post we neffur, effur wanted to write...

...our Commander in Chief and big brofur, Basil got his wings and departed peacefully fur The Rainbow Bridge last night surrounded by all of his furrmily.

As mew know, our utterly brilliant, gorgeously handsome, valiant leader, commander and best furiend was furry recently diagnosed with terminal cancer,  but know that he fought so hard and was so furry brave during his brief illness.  

The loss is tremendous here in Mewton-Clawson at BB HQ, the flag is flying at half-mast and we are beyond devastated that he was taken from us way too early. We are all so sad and crushed beyond mortal thought, so many emotions to deal with that we can't actually begin to explain how we feel. Our wurld has been ripped apart.

His passing and loss is immeasurable on effury level, and it's absolutely crippling having to write this to tell mew all the heartbreaking news. 

Commander Basil 

Epically Epic fur 16 and a bit years

2002 - 2018


A True Hero To The End

Basil really was a truly extraordinary purrson, and so loved by effuryone who met him or knew him. He was best furiend to many, and we know that his passing will leave a gaping hole in the wurld, and life here in Mewton-Clawson will neffur be the same.

He was loved so much, he will be missed so much, he was the kindest, most intelligent little soul and he brought so much love, happiness and light into this wurld, a light so bright it dazzled, and a light that will neffur be dimmed and will continue to shine brightly from the heavens above. 

We salute our brave Commander now and always, and we miss our older brofur and bestest furiend more than we could effur say, we always will.




And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.



Thank you all so much fur being a part of Basil's life here on the blog, we've had so much fun offur the years and made so many wunderpurr furiends... 



...so let us, his furmilly and furiends stand up and salute our incredible Commander one last time as the pipers play...

OUR LOVE FUR MEW SPANS ETERNITY
