    Glad to hear your neck of the woods didn’t suffer the extremes some areas did. Here out west it’s been frightfully warm and dry. We’re worried about plants dying and fires starting. I’ll take a blizzard over a fire any day.
    As our global weather becomes more extreme, we need to be ever more vigilant caring for our babies.
    Your two handsome boys are so lucky to have YOU!!
    Stay in touch Randy – it’s always a pleasure to hear from you and see those magnificent pups💕🐶🐶

      Spoke with Diane and they are all fine🙌The two feral kitties have a shelter under a neighbor’s deck, and Diane continues to feed them. Lincoln is hanging in there👍You are kind for asking and caring.
      May we hear more about YOUR babies? See some pctures? Toni

        Hi everybody. Doing ok out here in N.E. Pa. Big storm missed us this past wkend. We just got a few inches of snow & some wind – not the blizzard conditions they had forecast. Thank God! My 2 boys are doing well: running, playing, eating & sleeping w/out a care in the world. Ahh, the life of a house dog. I hope everyone & their pets survived the storm & came out unscathed. Hopefully spring is right around the corner! Take care all.

          Syracuse, NY, where I am, thankfully missed this storm. I just hope and pray Diane, Lincoln and her other fur babies are doing ok. I know Massachusetts got hit hard.

                Hi Toni, I want to thank you for all your kind words to me and everyone here. Even after 3 years, I miss my Romeo so, so much. I come here and read all the sad stories and my heart breaks. I remember the day I lost Romeo and all the feelings I had and wish I could take away their pain.
                To everyone here suffering the loss of their beloved fur baby, I send my heartfelt condolences and send you warm, comforting hugs. 💔 ❤️

              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 2 weeks, 2 days ago

                💔Suzanne, your heartfelt, honest sharing is why we are here – to listen with compassion and hopefully help you as you move through these painful times.
                Regarding your recurring images of the needle: What did you do in the moments afterwards? Did you pet, embrace, kiss your babies as you whispered goodbye? Clip fur? Were you relieved for them being out of pain and at peace? Can you take your memory of the needle to the next step and go past the immediate moment to the time that followed? It may help to think of it as a brief moment in the total of your times together. I hope othesr in our community will offer you some helpful ideas.
                Your commitment to adopt seniors is wonderful🙌, especially as we enter Spring and “kitten season” when older animals are often bypassed. I enjoyed five fabulous years with the 13 year old I adopted, and only five months with my 15 year old. Two of the five week olds I fostered died. There really is no telling how long we have, but we do know you are giving these deserving babies, of any age, a loving home for as long as you are together. That is magnificent of you.
                Please share more any time you like. We’re here for you with care and undertsanding. Toni

                  Thank you to everyone who commented on the unexpected and sudden passing of my Sebastian. While I’m still hurting and greatly feeling his loss, I know he’s in a better place united with his bonded brother Oliver and the many other fur babies I’ve had to say good bye to since the early 2000s. In the past 3 1/2 years alone I’ve said good bye to 7. I still can’t believe Saraya has been gone 3 years this past January and Oliver’s 1st heavenly birthday will be March 29. I try not to focus on their passing but rather on the good memories but sometimes it’s so hard.
                  I know this may seem
                  Crazy but because I suffered so many losses over the past 10 months,I’ve been seeing the needles, that the vet uses to help them cross the rainbow 🌈 bridge in my thoughts and I’m not sure how to get rid of this painful image. I’ve never really had any phobias that I’m aware of before and I really don’t want to start having one now but I’m really struggling to get this image out of my mind….

                    How is everyone doing in the frigid areas? Randy shared a wonderful update and we’d love to hear from others. It’s frighteningly warm and dry where Mac & Roni live😎Remember, if you’re cold, they’re cold 🥶
                  • Randy posted an update 2 weeks, 5 days ago

                    G.M. everyone. Hope you & your pets are all staying warm & cozy. Sorry to those who have lost cherished pets lately. I still get sad thinking of the pets I\’ve lost over the years. Doing OK on my end. It\’s been bitter cold & snowy in N.E. Pa these past few weeks. 🥶 Spring!! Are you out there?!? My 2 boys are doing well, enjoying the snow, but only the Husky loves the cold. I\’m off today, home chilling w/my 2 boys. I got a pot of homemade soup simmering on the stove & my boys are napping as usual. Just getting ready for another work week. Be safe everyone & pray for spring. Take care.

                            Suzanne, I am so sorry to hear this news about Sebastian and his sudden and unexpected passing. I know it hurts so much to let them go, but you did the right thing by him. All we can do is give them a better life and in turn, they give us joy with all their antics. You will see him again one day. You will see all your babies again one day. Sending you a great big hug during this difficult time. -Diane
                            • Toni Noel posted an update 1 months ago

                              One more week of January, and hopefully these extraordinary cold temperatures. Remember, if you’re cold, they’re cold, so take extra care to keep our pets warm and hydrated.
                              Each month we meet on line to share our stories and I truly hope more of you will take advantage of being with others who share your love of animals, are going through challenging times with beloved babies, have said goodbye and are healing, or are celebrating the joy of a new faithful friend. You can stay as long as you like, share as little or as much as you need, and know we are always here to support you. We meet the third ofThursday each month at 7PM Eastern (4PM Pacific). The link to join is under the “Event” tab on our Community page and it’s free of charge with no expectations.
                              You are always welcome to share here, too and I hope you will visit with us as often as you like.
                              With wags, wiggles and purrs, Toni

                              Suzanne, this is shocking. We just said goodbye to Kalina on our group call but to lose Sebastian? I am so, so sad and sorry. I sent you a private message inviting you to call me and I hope you do. We are all here for you, with sympathy and support. Sending you my deepest condolences. Toni
