      • I lost baxter on 8 3 23. Just 3 weeks after losing his brother
        • Oh no, Margaret. How terrible. I am so sorry. Were they ill? Elderly? I’m sure Baxter grieved his brother. Now you are grieving them both and I am so so sorry. Please join our group meeting Thursday August 17th at 7PM EST. The link is under “Events”. And Margaret, please tell us more about your darling boys, and how you are coming along. 💔Toni
          • I lost my other pug at the age of 16.5 years. He had a stroke. Baxter was 14, he was fine that day. I really dont know what happened. He just laid his head on my feet and he died. I’m having a hard time. I am lost without them. Sleeping is the hardest part of my day.
            • Oh my, how shocking that is. I found sleeping with a stuffed animal helped me. Can you get out of the house for awhile each day? Keep yourself busy, maybe try napping during the day? Talk to us here, and please join our group Auguat 17th. {{HUGS}} Toni
              • I’m out now visiting a olf friend. I will have to try the stuffed animal trick. I’m one person in a king sized bed. It’s just so hard
                • I’m glad you are visiting with a friend. My friends’ cat was sitting in his lap. My friend stepped to the refrigerator and came right back. His beloved kitty had died on the chair in the minute my friend was away. The cat was 12. In our heads we know our pets are only ‘on loan’ to us, but our hearts want them forever. And they do stay with us forever, in our hearts. I slept on the couch with a stuffed kitty under my chin when my BG died. Not being in that big bed may help you for awhile, too. Keep us updated, Margaret.
                  • Oh Margaret, how terribly sorry I am for your losses 💔 Sending you comforting hugs at this very sad time. 😔
                    • Thank you so very much

                      Oh, Patricia, you will always miss Puddles, but hopefully your memories of the many years of fun and love bring you joy. My Squirt was with me 19 years, she died 20 years ago, and I still think of her. I feel so grateful for our time together. Please let us know how you are doing, and if you read a post here that touches you, please share your own sympathy with others. 💔Toni Oh, do you have a pet now?

                            @patricia419 Puddles! What a delightful name, Patricia. I am so very sorry for your parting from Puddles and hope you will tell us about your lives together: How did you meet? How long were you together? What kind of pet was Puddles? May we see pictures? Are you doing okay, or not so good? We understand and are here for you, Patricia.

                                    Peggy, when did you say goodbye to LacyLu? It hurts in a way nothing else does and it can feel like it will never end. It takes time and support to crawl through the pain. Do you have people around you to share with? We’re here to listen and support you. I found holding and sleeping with a stuffed animal helped me. How did you meet LacyLu? She sounds like a cutie – may we see some pictures? We meet online monthly and I hope you will join us Thursday August 17th. The login info. is under “Events”. Please keep us updated. I am sending you {{HUG}}. Toni

                                              Wow, how very fortunate for you both to have shared such a long life together. It’s never long enough, but what a good run Sassy had. And what a beauty! We always miss our babies, always love them. It’s hard to part but I hope you are smiling with your memories of Sassy, Marisa. {{HUGS}} Toni

                                                      Ten days after BG died, a friend needed a home for one year old Boots. I was absolutely not ready to bring in a new pet. But if I can keep an animal out of a shelter, I will. So I did welcome Boots and he was such an active, engaging, curious and sweet boy, he helped me heal from my loss. He made me realize that BG lived her life, and I was lucky to share some of it with her, but new life needs love, too. We can never “replace” a pet, but we can open our homes and hearts to new life and love. Boots is back with his person and I miss (and worry about) him, but I credit him with helping me heal. Do NOT let anyone pressure you into adopting if you’re not ready, but in my case, having a new joy was just what I needed.

                                                        Losing a mother is unlike any loss. Especially if you are close. I lost my mum to ALS 15 years ago. That was tough. I am so sorry you couldn’t be with your mom but it’s ture – your mother is always with you, literally in your DNA. Photographic and artistic images of our beloveds DO help us feel close to them. The urns you make with images are an excellent example. I have a sweatshirt with my BG on it, and a canvas of her beautiful face. Plus, sleeping with a stuffed cat helped me get through the tremendous pain of saying goodbye. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and support, Sigrid. {{HUGS}} Toni

                                                          Awwww, how sweet. I am sure Rocky missed Chance. You are welcome to light as many candles as you like. And you can create a lasting memorial, too. You can see my beloved BG and Walter there. I miss them both. There’s a picture of Beauty Girl (aka Deanna) getting ‘catupuncture.
