    For many of us this 4th of July was the first without our beloved companions. We didn’t have to worry about the fireworks noise, and soothing them. On the good side – they didn’t have to be scared by it all. I just got home from a quick trip (the first in a loooong time since I wouldn’t leave my babies at home without me), and it’s weird coming in knowing no one is here to greet me. ๐Ÿ™ I still find toys and little by little am putting, or giving, them away. I’m not crying, I am just missing them. In some ways it’s easier not having a pet to care for, and I know one day I will open my home and heart to another, probably several. Until then, I am finding joy with my memories, alongside the bits of sorrow that linger. Overall, I am just so darn happy to have had them in my life and that they had a loving home with me. I am touched by every post here, and I read every one. The support, encouragement and kindness in our Community is overwhelming and I am sincerely grateful we are all here. With {{BIG HUGS}} to ALL. Toni

    • Toni, first 4th without babies, I always had something to greet me when I came home. I miss that, don’t you? Blessings to you. You made an animal feel important. Here’s to making you feel important. With hopes you will love again.

      Lisa, she’s a bundle of cuteness. I feel for you and I hope you have friends around you to understand your pain. And this community here certainly does. The cold hard facts cannot be changed but each and everyone here has gone through this. And they are good at listening and comforting and making you feel less alone with this. Let us hear about her and let us help you mourn. Sending good wishes! Sigrid

        Such sweet and soulful eyes. It takes time and many tears before you will be able to feel her in your heart and be at peace with that. At least that’s my experience. It’s not like the joy of having them around but it is a comforting feeling too: they are safe and sound, and the worst has already happened. I can still feel their sweet energy and I can talk to them in my mind. They are still part of my life and I am grateful for that. Best wishes to you! Sigrid

          Hi Maureen, I never had to sedate Lulu, but it is the first
          4th of July without her. I sure do miss her quirky little ways. So how are you doing? I hope things are a little brighter on this July 5th. I’m thinking of you. Take care brony

                  Romeo was terrified of fireworks and I had to sedate him. This is the first 4th of July without him. He doesn’t have to be afraid anymore. 😞 💔

                    Ines, I am so, so sorry for your loss of Hope 😞 My heart breaks for you and I know your pain. When we lose our fur baby it is so gut wrenching and numbing. Hope is still with you, she is always in your heart.
                    Hugs to you! 💔

                      Tana,so sorry for your loss 💔 It is so sad when we lose our fur baby, but, when we get them back in the form of ashes it hits us very hard again. It is another reminder that they are gone, but, now Zoey is finally back home with you where she belongs. Sending you hugs and wishing you peace. 💔

                              • Baby was so teeny and adorable, Lisa. I have tears with you, looking at her picture. How old was she? How long were you together? How did you meet? I really want to get to know her, and about your lives together if you’ll share that with us. Do you have people or pets around you to help you through this? I found a stuffed animal I could hold helped me. We are here for and with you, Lisa. We get it and I hope you join our group meeting July 20th to share more. (Links to the meetings are under “Events” on the right side of this page). Sending you a {BIG HUG}. Toni
                                • Baby was a rescue ,I got her when she was 1 ,she was scared of everything
                                  She would never eat so I started hand feeding her ,it was the only way she’d eat ,but I didn’t mind ,and it stuck for the 4 years I had the privilege of having her by my side
                                  She was such a sweet girl ,a true mamas girl ,she slept w me every night ,and was always by my side ,till the day she passed
                                  She just turned 5 right before her passing 😭
                                  I cant deal with her passing ,I am beyond heartbroken ,she was my whole world ,my entire life
                                  She was also my ESA ,as I suffer from numerous health issues as well as PTSD Bipolar with manic and suicidal tendencies
                                  I’m not ok and I won’t be ok for a long long time
                                  Ty for letting me vent
                                  • Lisa, how sad Baby was so young. Any age is too young, but at least with older pets (and people) we know they had a long run. I hope you are speaking with your professionals about this – they may be able to help you in ways we cannot. What we CAN do is let you know you are among friends who sympathize and support you. Toni

                                              Geez .. these fireworks are driving me nuts…imagine what they’re doing to our pets with their superior hearing and smell? PLEASE pay special attention to, and comfort your babies through this holiday. 💕
