• Have your pets changed THEIR time clocks? Have you noticed a change in the times your little loved ones are awakening or asking to be fed? Most animals, including humans, are sensitive to the sun and our internal clocks are disturbed by the clock changing, but our pets don’t follow clocks – they follow the sun cycles. Don’t worry – we will all adjust and adopt new routines, so please don’t be upset with your pets if their timing is a bit different for a week or so.
    Please always feel welcome to share your stories and updates with us, especially how you are coping with the passing of a beloved baby. If you haven’t joined a group meeting, I really hope you will join us at least once to talk about your experience and feelings with our kind, understanding friends.
    YOU make our community work so please share your support and insights with others here who need support through their grief. We are here for everyone who wants to celebrate, and remember our beloved babies. Toni

    What a lovely way to keep him close💔 How long were they together? It hurts like nothing else can – losing a beloved friend. I hope he can think of the many fun, funny, loving times they shared and that he finds some comfort in those memories. Your son is welcome to post about his baby here, and to join our online support meeting on Thursday March 19th at 7PM eastern (4PM pacific). Toni

      I wanted a way to remember my son’s dog. He has had a hard time with losing him. He Doorbells collar into a bracelet that he wears in his memory.

                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.

                              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. 💔 ❤️

                              💔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….

                                  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.
