          Bandit was my world and faithful companion for 14 of his 25 years he was my lifesaver several times when ending it all seemed the right solution he saved me

            Thank you. I’m doing OK.
            I adopted Woogie from a shelterin MN. He was just a kitten when I went to check out the kitties. I remember he decided to climb up on my shoulders and I just knew he was the one. I ended up adopting him along with another kitty. They got along great. Woogie was the quiet type, hiding when people came etc. He also was go with the flow cat. Never bothered him when I got a dog, rats or a rabbit. He came with each time I had to move and never phased him.
            He was my cuddler, comforter. We were together 17 of his 18 1/2 yrs here on earth.

              Missing my boy. It’s been hard coming home from work at night. Night time was our cuddle time.

              • Stacey, I know the feeling of coming home and nobody us there to greet us. It’s the worst. I lost my Romeo in January and we were together 24/7. It is still hard for me to leave the house but worse to come home because he’s not there. I dont know if or when I will get over that. This grief is hard.
                Hugs 🫂
              • Hello, and thank you for the candle for Popeye. my beautiful Popeye passed away April 17 23 of a rare nasal cancer. It came on all of a sudden no warning, so I’m still in disbelief. I miss him dearly every day. My life has not been the same. He was my dear friend, and service dog.

                Melinda, how nice of you to take the time to share your beautiful family with us. Thank you.🤗. It is so very hard, sad and heartbreaking to love so much and so deeply, then have to say goodbye. But as we know in our heads, every leaf falls from the tree – we all pass one day and make way for new life – but in our hearts, we are broken. 💔. I hope you will continue to share with us and, if you see a post, or posts, that touch you, that you will extend your own sympathy and understanding to others in our community. It means so much. I am, we are, thinking of you. {BIG HUGS}} Toni

                      I guess I have to post the pic separate.

                        Yes, Ava was Addie’s mom. She is pictured with me in the profile pic. I lit a candle for her about a year ago, under Ava Nika. Otto is also Addie’s dad. They had her and her sister Mira, that lives with my parents, accidentally, shortly after we rescued Ava. We kept them. This is a good family pic that I took. Only one of two. Otto is on the couch and Addie, is to the right of Ava

                                  Melinda, I am so sorry. It’s shocking to have a rapid decline in health – it doesn’t give us time to prepare ourselves, not that anticipating is easy, but at least we know something is coming. So Otto and Ava knew each other? And Ava was Addie’s mother. You truly were a Family and yes, this is very difficult, losing two of them now. Again, I am so sorry. Even though we know, in our heads, that one day we will have to say goodbye, in our hearts and souls, we are broken 💔 Please light a candle for Ava, too. We’d love to see her, and here more about Ava and Otto, and we’d love to share happy times with Addie. We’re here for you Melinda, so stay in touch with us. {{BIG HUGS}} Toni

                                    I lost my boy Otto two weeks ago to kidney failure, and bleeding in his abdomen. It\’s been hard wrapping my head around why my boy is gone. He seemed happy and healthy one week, and the next week he was dying. He was two and a half months shy of his 13 birthday. I guess, at least my Otto and my girl Ava are together again. She is the black German Shepherd, I lost two years ago. I still have her daughter Addie. She will be 10 in October already. I feel like I\’m slowly losing my family. My youngest is an almost 8 siberian husky named Brinley. He has issues with his thyroid. I put in for a candle for Otto. 🥺💞🐾
