    Hello Toni, and thank you for your warm welcome. George was a very special bunny of mine. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge in May, 2022. George’s daddy, Bee Bee, was a special needs bunny, like George. Bee Bee crossed the Bridge in 2021. I really miss them. I’ve lost so many bunnies, cats, and chickens over the years. I find as I age, their losses impact me so much, much more. I currently have 7 senior bunnies, 4 cats , and 8 chickens, of which 2 are roosters. I also lost my husband, mother, and sister all within a year’s time. My animals are all I have left. I don’t know what I’d do without them. George was a white Jersey Wooly bun. He was such a gentle little soul. He developed an inner ear problem or tumor that wasn’t responding to medical treatment. My awesome veterinarian tried every possible treatment, He deteriorated and then couldn’t support himself, even though he still was eating somewhat. It was an excruciating difficult decision; however, in George’s best interest,…

      I miss him so much. I don’t know what to do.. he was everywhere, everything and now I’m alone…

      • Donna, talk to us. Tell us about everything. I am so sorry and sad. Toni
        • Ricky was my best friend. We just moved into a new house. A new start, and within 4 days he was gone. I don’t know what happened; the vet was stunned.
          • I am so sorry for your loss. Those furbabies mean the world to us
            • Donna, what a strange and sad story. When you say Ricky was “gone”, what do you mean? Did he die? Or did he leave? Either way, what a sad thing for you and I am very sorry. Please Donna, tell us more, and know we are here for you with arms open. Toni
              • He died at the vet’s office. The vet was upset because he couldn’t figure out what was happening to Ricky. I lost my best friend in days. It’s hard to function at all.
                • What a shock, Donna. It’s understandable that you are numb. I have a friend whose cat was sitting in his lap, he went to the garage and came right back in, and the cat was dead. The vet didn’t know what happened but suspected a heart failure. It happened in literally two minutes. As awful as it is for you, Donna, perhaps it was best for Ricky. There must have been an underlying condition. I am just so sorry for this. Please come to our kind and caring group meeting April 20th. We are here for you with sympathy and understanding, Donna. {HUGS} Toni
                  • Thanks. I know I did everything I could for him, but without more, painful procedures he would have suffered. Ive lost my friend, my support, my guardian all in 4 days. Everyone says get another dog to focus on, but I don’t want another dog, I just want my boy…🥺
                    • I’m with you about not putting them through extreme measures, especially when they are older. I’m facing that with Walter right now, and it helps to think of what is best for them, not us. And no, you can’t replace a pet with another. You CAN open your home and heart to a new love, but no one will “replace” Ricky. It may be some time before you are ready to do that. Or, what happened to me – a cat needed a home after my BG died and I took him in. I didn’t think I was ready, and I really didn’t want another pet yet, but it truly took me out of my blues and pain by having him. Now I have another cat who’s person died and he is old and sick. It’s easy to fall in love, brutal to say goodbye. Please don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything. Come to our group meeting and you’ll hear similar stories from others. It can help a lot. Let us know how you are doing. It takes time, Donna, and we’re here for you. Toni

                      @sdgoga Hello and welcome to our caring community, Susan. Please tell us about your life with George, and share some photos if you like. How are you doing? Okay, I hope? Toni

                        • Wow, Susan, you are clearly a kind, caring, thoughtful and generous person. To recognize that giving George a peaceful passing is truly a selfless act of love. Godfrey makes me think of a friend’s cat who was fine one moment, then just died. They surmise it was heart failure but it was without any notice or symptoms. I guess sometimes we just don’t know. I am, we are, truly happy to welcome you to our community and look forward to seeing your photos of all your “kids”. And Susan, if you would like to join our monthly group meeting April 20th, we’d love to hear more. You’ll get an email with the log-in info and details. Hang in there, Susan, and share more with us. {BIG HUGS} Toni

                            What a sweetie. I am so sorry you had to say goodbye, Kaitlynn, but it looks as if Carly Mae enjoyed a wonderful life of love with you. It’s what we hope for – love, fun, joy, and spoiling of course. They’re only “on loan” to us and never for long enough. Was she older when she passed? How did you meet her? Are you moving through your grief okay? Can you smile with your memories? We’re thinking of you. {{HUGS}} Toni

                                  Aimee, thank you for these pictures of Bella. Go to the Memorials tab and you’ll see my Beauty Girl – she and Bella look like sisters! BG was 18 when she died last year and it was best for her to go as she was very unwell, but boy did it hurt to lose her. Now I smile with her memories, and cry a bit sometimes too. The most loving, generous gift we can give our beloved pets is a life of love and respite at the end. Inour heads we know this, but our hearts break. Aimee, how long were you and Bella together? Please tell us about your lives together. And let us know how you are doing. {{HUGS}} Toni

                                        RIP Bugsy. 3/29/16 – 3/20/23 Thank you for the best 7 years. Thank you for fighting to stay alive until I could say goodbye. I know how hard you tried. You were the best boy I could ask for. You were everything to me. They say home is where the heart is, but where do you go when your heart is gone? Mom will take care of you until I meet you on the other side. I\’ll never forget you, rest well, bubba. ❤
