That’s a brilliant idea, Maureen, if your allergies can withstand the exposure. I’m going to start fostering again. Like you, I am not ready to adopt but miss having furry ones around :-). Let us know what happens. Toni -

Good morning I worry about where my cats would go when I die.

Hi Toni, I have been watching videos about rescue groups and also shelters. Sometimes watching about the shelter dogs makes me sad because of the conditions they are living in. I want to go to my local shelter to see if I can get a cuddle in, but, I am allergic to shedding animals and have that concern. But, I do think I need to go somewhere to visit these poor babies. I would love to be able to sit with a scared baby and tell them it will be okay, but, like I said, I have allergies. I think maybe, ‘just take a allergy pill and do it Maureen’ 🤷
I still can’t think of ever getting another dog. My age and health are concerns. But, being around them might give me the joy I so miss.
I want to let you know that I have a hard time connecting with this site and I will try to get in on one of the group meetings soon. I would love to meet all of you. Meanwhile, I will continue my support of others whenever I can.
Thank you, again, for your support xx

I see so many names and candles, and am so sincerely sorry for the partings from our dearly beloved pets. Please, after you light a candle, let us “meet” your baby/ies and tell us more. We are all animal lovers, have all said goodbye, and are here to share our support and understanding. And, we are here to help remember the joys and love we’ve shared. Don’t forget that! 💔💕

I am so sorry, Michelle,and am sending you my deepest sympathy.💔Luigi and the others are mourning alongside you. Luigi sounds like a very sensitive soul. Saying goodbye is the “down side” of loving, and getting through the grief of loss is helped by having others with whom to share it. I say “joy shared is joy doubled, grief shared is grief halved”. You are welcome to bring Luigi and the others to our onlne group meeting Thursday Sep. 21st if you like. Please let us know how you are coming along, Michelle. We’ll be thinking of you. Toni -

Doing ok, besides missing June, it’s been 3months and 3 days since she left us. I still see her, we still talk about her. I even started writing letters to her. Not every day, but just moments where I am missing her the most. It’s quite not having her here…

We lost our Skeeter to liver failure. It was a complete shock and he went very quickly. We adopted him from a local rescue where he had been living for a year. His mom passed away when he was 12, so he was our sweet senior baby. We had the honor of loving him for only 1 1/2 years. We are shattered. No more coming home and yelling, \”where is my fuzzy tuxie?!\” his two feline brothers and canine sister miss him terribly. I know he\’s with us in spirit, because his brother Luigi never slept next to me and since Skeeter left us, Luigi cuddles next to me every night and rolls over on his back for tummy scratches, just like Skeeter did. It makes my heart happy and I tell Luigi, I know your brother Skeeter is telling you what to do to make mom happy. Some may think it\’s silly, but if it helps me get through, than that\’s all that matters. We miss our by and will cherish him always.-

Of course you are not okay, Teresa. It is such a recent loss and your house is empty without Muffin. That is brutally painful. Do you have family or friends with whom you can visit? Maybe stay with for a little bit? If not, can you get out of the house for a few hours each day, perhaps sit in a park? Anything to fill in the hole that has been left. I found sleeping with a stuffed toy helpful. Watch silly things on TV. Keep moving if you can. I mopped the floors over and over just to keep busy. Teresa, in our heads we know our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough. It’s our hearts that ache when their lives have run their course. When you are able, can you think of Muffin’s life like a ruler with each of her 11 years as an inch. Up until the very last part of that ruler, Muffin shared a great life of love and joy with you. Perhaps thinking of that will help. Also, you could write notes to Muffin, then write what her response to you would be. I bet she’d be grateful for the life you shared and want you to be happy for having her in your life. Please keep in touch with us, and come to our group Sep. 21st. I am so very sorry, Teresa, and we are here to help you through this. 💔💔Toni -

Muffin was shitzu and havanese. I adopted her 11 years ago. She was my whole life and I’m not ok at all. It started out with her eye having a infection. Took her to the vet and the vet didn’t really check her but a tech did. Sent her home with antibiotics and predizone. She quit eating and then quit drinking water. I still don’t know what really happened to her. She passed on labor day and there was no vets open. Couldn’t afford to take her miles away to a emergency vet. I’m on a fixed income. I had planned to take her the day after Labor Day but she didn’t make it. I’m not ok at all. She loved me unconditionally and was always happy to see me. I’m all alone now -

Allison, I will, we will, be thinking of you both with love. If you want to, please feel safe and welcome to share with us here. I took pictures of my babies and clipped some of their fur. I brought small scissors and a plastic bag, but most doctors can clip fur for you. Now, that’s just something important to me, you may have other ways in which to memorialize Kush. 💔💔💔💔Toni -

It’s amazing how time truly does go by so quickly. Grief heals in it’s own time and you are doing what you can by moving through it day by day. This may sound silly but can you watch some cute baby animal videos or visit a shelter? I find comfort knowing there are new lives to be enjoyed after we’ve said goodbye to our beloveds. Not that you should adopt, but just to get a dose of youthful exuberance. Let us know if you do that, and always keep us updated. Will we get to meet you at this month’s group meeting? The link is under “Events”. I feel as if we know you because you are so kind in supporting so many others here. 🤗💔Toni - Load More
I applaud you for looking after your babies 🙌Toni
