Sigrid posted a new activity comment 3 years, 7 months ago
Hi Maryann, it’s Sigrid again. It takes a lot of time to heal. And I was wondering if you could pour the love you have for Penny into some cause that needs it, at a shelter for example or tending to feral cats in your neighborhood. I think in addition to missing Penny you also have no place or being to give your love to. It will not bring her back but you could dedicate your helpful activities to her, to honor her and to be grateful that she was in your life. This is no advice, just something I saw a neighbor do when her cat passed. She now takes good care of the feral cats around here, has them spayed or neutered, feeds them and finds homes for them. They would be lucky to have you. -

I feel better about Walter now. His doctor confirmed what the oncologist said which is to watch for him to stop eating, losing weight and not having an interest in doing anything. I think it will be fairly obvious when Walter is ready to say goodbye. She also said it is not common for masses to rupture, which greatly relieves my concern. Thank you for your caring and comments. I’ll be updating as things progress. And please, update us about YOUR babies. Toni

Good wishes to you, Toni! That’s hard. I hope you and Walter will still have many good days together and that he’ll leave peacefully and without pain when the time comes.

How kind of you, Sigrid. I’m looking through your beautiful urns. Walter is actually playing with me today! He seems to still be doing okay. I watch him carefully for indications of discomfort. I really appreciate your caring. {HUG} Toni

Geri, this is so hard. Thank you for caring. We’re seeing the doctor in the morning. I just posted about a friend whose cat had a similar mass and hers ruptured and she suffered terribly. I don’t want that for Walter and am trying to do what’s best for him. As we all do. 💔I’ll post an update tomorrow. Toni -

So, here\’s where we are. Darling Walter, feline, 15 y/o, has a fast-growing malignant mass where his small and large intestines meet. A dear friend just lost his cat to a mass that ruptured her intestines. She was in agony. He is supporting me if I choose to let Walter go, to prevent the risk of that happening to him. At Faithful Friends we talk about anticipating, preparing for, and experiencing the death of a beloved pet. I am crossing from anticpation to preparing to say good bye to Walter, before his mass has a chance to cause him extreme suffering. But, and this is where it\’s so terribly hard, he doesn\’t seem to be in pain right now. But surely, with a mass growing he is experiencing some level of discomfort, I must think. The oncologist said he is probably feeling it. If you have experienced anything similar with your beloved pet, would you mind sharing your insights here ? I appreciate your help and support at this time.-

Oh Rachel, so much sadness and deep pain with your parting from Alphonse. You were together almost fifteen years? What a lovely life to share. The awful truth is that our beloved pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough. The great part is giving and getting a love like no other. For that we are grateful. But the deeper the love, the deeper the pain. Your house must feel empty? I found holding and petting a stuffed toy helped me. Talking to our group – next meeting is April 20th – really helps and I hope you’ll join us. And Rachel, please tell us what happened with Alphonse? It can help you, and others, to share our experiences. I am thinking of you with sincere sympathy and sending you a {{ BIG HUG}}. ToniTONI NOEL is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Toni, I am praying for Walter and you. Please let us know what the doctor had to say. I had a cat that had cancer of the ear. She did fine for about three years but then I had to put her to sleep because it actually started bleeding.

@raerae Alphonse – What a great name, Rachel. What kind of pet was Alphonse? Please tell us about him and your lives together. We love to see pictures if you like. How are you holding up? Toni

Rachel, I am so sorry you lost Alphonse. The name makes me think he had quite the personality. Did he? I would like to hear how he was. He clearly had your heart. Talking about him, describing him will keep you connected and over time may slowly change from grief to appreciation that you had him in your life. Best wishes to you!

Maryann, how are you doing today? -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 7 months ago
Thank you for the holiday wishes, Geri. It’s so nice of you to let us know you, Syrus and Hex are well. My Walter seems okay but it’s hard for me to evaluate how he’s really feeling. We see his doctor tomorrow and I’m hoping she can give me insight. We know his mass is fast-growing but I don’t see that he is uncomfortable. Love ’em good and hard while we can 💕🤗 -

Syrus and Hex and I want to wish everyone an happy Easter, and we are doing great.

Angel, this community is a bit like a shoulder to cry on. We know your pain. Talking about your loss gives a little bit of relief. It can’t take the pain away but you feel less alone with it. At least that’s my experience. I am sending good wishes to you. -

Hi Dorothy, all of us here know the pain of having to let them go. Let us know about Cody or show us a photo if it feels right. Talking about them helps a little bit in my experience. Sending good wishes! -

We lost Molly our lab and Joanie our dachshund in October of 2021. We miss them so much along with Zoe in July of 2022. Please light a candle for them. I lost our first dachshund in 2004. Her name was Tasha.

It has been a little over a month now and I still cry and talk to her picture all the time and tell her how much I miss her. I know as time goes on hit will get easier but right now it is still raw. -
