    @bethnesbitt Lucky. What a nice name. Please tell us about Lucky and your lives together, and share photos if you like. And let us know how you are doing – okay? Not so good? We’re here for you.

    Wow, how lucky for you both to have 17 wonderful years together, Amber. It’s never long enough, is it? But what a long time to share the loving life you did. It hurts in places and ways nothing else does, but if you can, when you can, I hope you will think of the many, many good times and things you shared, and that you find comfort there, knowing what a great pet parent you were. Because you were, Ambber. Please let us know how you are moving along. {{HUG}} Toni

      Oh, she looks so little. What a beautiful girl.
      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 4 months ago

        That’s what I remind myself about Walter, too, Tana. He isn’t at risk of his mass bursting and dying in extreme pain. There is a lot of comfort (in our heads) but in our hearts, it hurts. Please be happy for Zoey’s life and love, and that she’s out of harms way now. I’m thinking of you. (HUGS).

          Brony, yes you will always carry them in your heart and thoughts. Please try to think of your times together like a ruler with each year being an inch. You had 18 and 14 inches of wonderful love, fun and joy, and just a half inch of them not being well. Take a memory from each of those inches and allow yourself to celebrate and be happy for them, and for you and the life you shared. Of course you cry and are broken in your heart and soul. That’s what deep love brings with goodbye, but you gave them their best life and I hope you find comfort knowing that. Our next group meeting is July 20th and I hope you join us. Until then, please keep us posted on how you are. Toni

            I am holding up. At this moment I’m not crying, but this morning I sure was. One day at a time….

                Mama Kitty was 18 when she left this world, and Lulu was just shy of 14 yrs. I will remember these two cats FOREVER.

                  Hi there, you wanted to learn about Lulu. Well she was an itty bitty thing that hid under my shed she wasn\’t more than 3or4 months. I had a little dog Phoebe and they became the best of friends. Well I know what a cat in heat looks like, and so does Phoebe. I got her spayed and shots and she couldn\’t wait to go home and join Phoebe out the cat door under the house to go potty. Lulu made me laugh all the time. She didn\’t like to be picked up and didn\’t sit to long for attention. You paid her to much attention she would slap you.. took me a long time to name her. I finally came up with the name Lulu. When she was almost a year my mom needed help and I had another feral cat that brought me her 3kittens. She was spayed and was stuck to me like glue. I had to choose 2 to go to moms, I choose Mama Kitty and Lulu. Phoebe got a home. Well I lived in a room, the cats were happy as long as I was there. Mama Kitty passed away about 5yrs ago, she was my heart, took me awhile to get over her, first cat I ever put down myself, I miss Dad he did all that for me. Well Lulu was lonely and she had been in that room for 8yrs. She started to really like me so I spent hours petting, playing, and talking to her. Well she got fat. I didn\’t mean to make her fat, she just loved eating. Now mom was gone so Lulu got the run of the house. She played outside as long as she could see me. Loved anything that wiggled or crawled, I know cause she would bring it in the house. She enjoyed the last 3years stayed in the yard or in the house behind the screen. It was there she met a stray, he stop by every few days and have a conversation with Lulu. All of a sudden days away from her 14birthday she quit eating and drinking and she was lethargic. 3 days and she was gone. I slept next to her under my mom\’s bed with a blanket on her. The sprinklers woke us up, I know she was awake cause she started purring. By the time I got back from the bathroom she was gone. As the life went out of her so did my life ended too. That\’s it I have no more animals. I was left all alone, no mom, no dad, and no pets. I\’m not sure what to do now. I miss her so much it breaks my heart. I will have another cat that needs me as much as I need it. A shelter pet that is spayed or neutered and about 2or3 years old. I just don\’t want to replace Lulu with another one. I\’m waiting to give my emotions some time. I all of a sudden start sobbing cause she\’s not here. The picture on the blanket was at the end of may 2023. And the picture was with her best friend.

                      No, Molly was not a miniature. She was about 22 pounds.

                          @stef Daisy. The name makes me smile. How are you doing Stephanie? Okay, not so good, comes and goes? We understand and are here to support you. Tell us about Daisy, and share some pictures if you like. Toni

                          @bronyhootscoot Hi Brony. Welcome to our caring community. I am sorry for your loss of Lulu and hope you will tell us about her – what kind of pet she was, how long you were together – anyhting you’d like to share, including photos. How are you holding up, Brony?

                            This picture makes me smile and I hope you are, too. What a fun memory to mix into your “stew of grief” to help ease your pain a wee bit. Was Molly a miniature King Charles? Isn’t it wonderful she had such a beautiful “playground”!!
                            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 4 months ago

                              It sounds as if she had some strokes. Poor little thing. She’s at peace now and I hope you and your family find some comfort in that. {{HUGS}} Toni

                                Molly would watch the minnows, the put her face in the water and try to catch them. Sometimes she wa successful.

                                        Wednesday, like any other day, Zoey was sitting on the arm of the couch, and my daughter heard a boom, she went into the living room and Zoey was getting up off the floor, but when she started walking she was wobbling. By the end of that night, Zoey could not walk at all, then she had problems eating, so my daughter laid her on her bed and got up every 2 hours to dropper feed her. Friday morning, I had to run my daughter to the clinic and when we got home, Zoey had went over the rainbow bridge.

                                                      Marsha, I am sorry my last message said Martha (I’m not the best typist), but I am struck by Molly catching fish! May we see some pictures of that if you have them? What a fun life she had in the woods among critters. I am happy you and your husband think of Molly – what a gift to have sweet memories, do you think? I am truly sorry you had to say goodbye, but also truly glad for the thirteen years of joy and love you shared. Toni
