    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

          To Toni:
          This is that family pic I was telling you about. Otto is on the couch. Their daughter Addie is to the right of Ava.

          I guess I have to post the pic separate.
          • Melinda posted a new activity comment 3 years, 2 months ago

            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

              @spacey24 Helo Stacey. Mr. Woogi is so handsome – those markings! I am so truly sorry for your loss and hope you are doing okay’ish – How ARE you doing, Stacey? Please tell us about Mr. Woogi – how you met, how long you were together…anything you’d like to share. We’re here for you with sympathy and understanding. {{HUGS} Toni

              • 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.
                • Stacey, I am so sorry for your loss of Woogie 💔 He sounded like a wonderful boy and I know your heart is broken. I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. Sending you hugs 💔

                      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. 🥺💞🐾

                                    This is just GRAND! Congratulations to you and Blu, Brandy 💕. I’m reluctant to recommend adopting until a person is ready and willing to open their heart and home again, but 10 days after my beloved BG died, Boots came into my life and I can tell you he turned me around. I gained the perspective that while “all leaves fall from the tree”, there is new life and love looking for us. So even though I wasn’t “ready” at the time, I am very grateful Boots came along to heal me. And yes, Bella may have had a hand in bringing you and Blu together. I am excited, as I know we all are, to see little Blu and his antics!! Please share more of your lives together with. If you can join us tonight, our group would love to meet Blu. Link is under Events. 7PM EST. If not then, we look forward to hearing more here. {HUGE HUGS } to you both. Toni

                                      Patricia, I am so sorry. It can sure feel as if you will never heal. I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through losing my BG, but with time, understanding support, and seeing pictures and stories about young animals, we do crawl through the pain. Being around other pets helped me, too. Do you have friends or family with pets you can visit?There is no specified time for healing, and I hope you will soon find smiles before tears with your memories. Please join our group meeting tonight (Aug.17th at 7 PM EST). The link is under “Events”. You’ll meet kind, empathetic people. What kind of pet was Nyla? How long were you together? How did you meet? May we see some photos of Nyla? {HUGS} Toni

                                        My Nyla passed on July 24,2023. I am still heartbroken. I think I will be forever.
