      Yes, Shirley, this is what we get when we open our hearts and homes to a beloved baby. We know going in that one day we will have to say goodbye, but we expose our underbelly, and love without restraint. Is that about right? We want our faithful friends to be with us forever, but they are only “on loan” to us – never for long enough. Mya was, and will always be, a part of you, your thoughts and your being. Isn’t that lovely when you think of it? To have shared a loving life together. Now is the truly devastating, painful part of parting. I have to believe Mya would want you to be happy for your life together, that Mya is grateful for your care and love, and wishes you only more love in your life. What do you think, Shirley? We are here for you with sympathy and understanding. Truly, I have tears for your loss right now, but am happy for your love. {{HUGS}} Toni

        My sweet girl Mya went over the rainbow bridge June 17th. She had cancer for 2nd time around,plus she was also in kidney failure, and had cushions. There is day that doesn\’t go by that I miss her. I talk to her every morning and every night. She was only 10 years old when she left us.

            My baby JJ went over the rainbow bridge on August 19. I am having a hard time every day. When I get up or when I get home from work. I cry all the time right now. I hope it gets better

              • I appreciate you reaching out to me. It does hurt more than I have ever felt. JJ was a beautiful black and tan Min Pin
                • Cindy, how was today for you? Toni
                  • So sorry I missed your message. Today was hard but a bit easier than it has been. I know it will take time to heal from this pain. Thanks so much for checking in
                    • I just got the call to pick JJ ashes, I broke down again. I hope it gets better with time.
                      • Cindy, I am sorry. Picking up what was your most beloved friend is a terribly difficult thing to do. It is another harsh and hard reminder that JJ is really gone and is one of the most difficult and heartbreaking moments in your life. I am crying writing this, thinking of your pain. So let’s do it, and go through this together. Please cry and rant or whatever you need to do, then please take some deep breaths and think of a moment with JJ in which you were both so happy, content and loving. Whew – doesn’t that feel better? Try to stay in your head for a bit, remembering that everyone, everything, will pass one day, and that you gave JJ the best life for JJ’s allotted time here. It’s an exercise you can practice each day, as many times a day as you need. I hope that helps as you navigate through the grief of loss towards the profound joy of treasured memories. Stay with us here, Cindy. We’re with you and have more tools to help you through this terrible time of loss . 💔Toni
                        • JJ is home, even though it makes feel more real that he is really gone. I feel him here with us.
                          • That’s lovely, Cindy. I am glad you feel JJ with you and hopw you find a bit of comfort in that.
                            • Cindy, I am so very sorry for your loss of JJ 💔
                              • Thanks so much for your kind words. It is a daily struggle, our babies were a part of just about everything we did in our day to day life. That is why it is so hard to forget them, I am just living day to day to accept him being gone. I am grateful for all the understanding a support from this community.

                                Marilyn, I am sorry for your loss of Bandit 💔 I understand what you mean about Bandit being you faithful companion and being your world. My Romeo was the same for me and saved my life too. He came as a gift to me when I was at a very low time in my life and just wanted to die. Please take care of yourself. Peace be with you. Sending you hugs 💔

                                  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.

                                                    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.

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.🤗.

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
