    Oh my, Sandra. That is just heartbreaking. 💔I am glad you opened your home and heart to your new little one. What is his name? May we see some cute puppy pictures and follow his (mis)adventures with you?

      Thank you!

        Yes, this is little Rusty. He had only just turned three and was killed by another dog. It was horrific and I couldn’t save him. He was the best dog I ever had. He was so loving, smart and funny. We made all our plans together and I took him with me everywhere. I now have a puppy who somewhere down the line is related to Rusty. He is lovely but in full puppy mode and quite naughty!

          Having a hard time miss my Sissy Girl

          • Hi Selma, I am very sorry. How long has it been? The pain of losing a beloved pet is one of the deepest we experience. I found holding and sleeping with a stuffed toy helped, some hold pillows – something to literally hold on to. You may find writing notes to Sissy Girl, and writing FROM Sissy Girl to you, helps to recall all the wonderful times you shared. Our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough, and it’s helpful to remember the many fun, funny and loving times we got to spend together. We are here for you, Selma, and you are welcome to share more about Sissy Girl. Also, if you can join our group meeting Thursday Sep. 21st at 7 Eastern (4 Pacific) you will meet understanding, sympathetic people. We’ll be thinking of you. {{HUGS}} Toni

            @momee Hi Maurenn. So, have you looked into visiting or volunteering at a shelter? Our local shelter lets you go and just visit with the pets.

                                It is good of you to think about this. I encourage people to have 2 – 3 trusted homes who will take in your pets, and you will want to leave them money to pay for their care. Everything should be in writing. Here is a link to my article about planning for pets:https://www.faithfulfriends.com/pet-estate-planning/ It can be found iin our “Library”.
                                I applaud you for looking after your babies 🙌Toni

                                    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! 💔💕
