    Yes, Suzanne, time can help ease the pain, but time is fungible, and we each flow through grief at our own pace. I hope to see you at the meeting this Thursday. If not, please know I am thinking of you. Toni

      Now THAT’S a holiday gift! How wonderful to hear that Chico is doing so well, Paul. Thank you so much for letting us all know. When I say we care, I mean it, and I am sure the entire community joins me in wishing you, Chico and yours a truly Happy Holiday season. Please share pictures of Chico during the holidays. Big Hugs to you both!! {{HUGS}}

        The oncologist veterinarian at Blue Pearl Animal Hospital in Delaware said. Since Chicos tumors have shrunk to the point where you can’t see them or feel them on his body anymore (the tumor lump may not be there anymore, the cancer cells are still there). And since the 2 Mast Cell Tumors that had cancer were removed were low grade and had clean margins. All we have to do for now is monitor Chico to see if they grow back into tumor lumps again, or if he develops new lumps. We will have them surgically removed.

          Thanks for the invite Toni. I will try to join the zoom meeting this Thursday providing I don’t get sidetracked and forget. Hugs and prayers to all of you who are struggling with the loss of a beloved pet. Remember to be gentle with yourselves and don’t let others get to you when they think you should be over your loss by now. Until they have lived and experienced loss they will never understand. For many people who have never had a pet it’s just an animal to those of us who have loved a beloved animal it is/was a family member.

            Renzo looks like he’s living the high life such a handsome boy.

            Sorry that it seems I only post when I have suffered a loss. Thank you, Toni for your kind words, I know I have said no more cats for me, but Little Bit proved me to be lying to myself. While I am not looking for another cat if God wants me to have another one will find me instead just like that sweet little soul did. I would like to think that in his short time on earth that he knew love. I would have eventually brought him in for good and had him neutered and all of his shots. I am a firm believer in spay and neuter, there are far too many babies that are strays or in shelters. I will be spending the Holidays alone with just Tubby and remembering all my babies who has crossed the bridge. I hope everyone have a Blessed Christmas and a Very Happy New Year filled with love.

                  Terri, there is no timeline for mourning, and healing takes place with time, and memories of the fun and love you shared. Holidays especially stir emotions and I hope you have many good and happy thoughts of Cheech and the joys he brought you, and the love you gave him. Do you have any other pets now? May we see more pictures of Cheech, and hear about your lives together? Perhaps you will join our group meeting this Thursday at 8PM EST to talk about Cheech. A link will be sent in an email Thursday. We’re thinking of you. Toni

                    Randy! Hello 🙂 It’s so good to hear from you and see your GOOD BOY Renzo taking care of things (and you). Anniversaries and holidays stir memories of our beloveds and that’s as it should be. We hurt a bit but feel happy and grateful for the lives and loves we shared. Right? We wouldn’t trade that for anything. Renzo is so lucky you opened your home and heart to him, and aren’t YOU the lucky duck to have him warming your bed for you. Thanks for the update and picture. We love to see and hear from everyone. And thank you for the kind wishes. it means a lot. {HUGS} for you and Renzo. Toni

                      I lost my heart dog Chihuahua Cheech on July 17, 2018. I\’m still hurting today over him.

                        Hi everyone. It\’s been a while since I logged on & posted anything. Life is just so darn busy @ times! Doing well on my end. Still enjoying our rescue shepherd \”Renzo\”. Nov 30th was 16 months that we have him (yay!), but also 16+ months since we lost our other 2 shepherds only 8 days apart ( very sad face). But we are going about our lives just trying to have fun, learn & be better. I hope everyone else in this community is doing good as well. Less than 2 weeks til Christmas. Wishing good holiday fortune, health & happiness to all. A pic\’ of some bad dog on my bed!

                          • Hello all. Thx for the sweet comments about my boy Renzo. He IS living the life! A lady I worked with made the comment: “That dog hit the f*#@+n’ lottery when he came to your house!” Still makes me laugh to this day. Yes, he is spoiled & handsome (and he knows it!). Merry Christmas to everybody & your furry pals!
                            • Yep – you probably have a list of people who want to come back as your pet …. I do :-). Will we see you at tonight’s Group Meeting/ We’d love to meet you both. Toni
                            • @cstebbins Hello Connie. Welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pet, your lives together, and share photos if you will. I am sorry for your loss and hope you are doing okay – are you? Toni

                              What a lovely tribute to Spazzie, Linda. I am so sorry for your parting, and am happy for the times you and Spazzie shared. She sure is a darling. How old was she? How did you meet, and how long were you together? Holiday season is tough without our beloved friends and I hope you know we are here for you. You might want to join our group meeting Thursday Dec. 15th to share with us. The link is posted in the comment below, and you’ll be getting an email that morning with it again. Sending you {{HUGS}} Toni

                                • Hi Everyone. It’s the holiday season and it can be full of joy, but it can also be a very tough time to be without our beloved Faithful Friends.
                                  I know.
                                  If you would like to remember, celebrate, and share your memories this season, please join our December Group Meeting Thursday December 15th at 8 PM Eastern, 7 Central, 6 Mountain and 5 PM Pacific (See? No excuse for not knowing the time!).

                                    Glenda, Oh my gawd, I don’t have words right now, but, while your story is so very tough, it is good to hear from you. I will have more to share tomorrow – this is very moving for me and I need to absorb it. Here is a {HUG} until then my dear.

                                      Dustin, you have been through so much, and are so kind and generous to open your home and heart to another – go to our “Find Services” tab at the top of this page, enter your zip code, and use the drop down menu to find Rescues & Shelters in your area. I am sure you will find one that can help you find a new love to share with. Peanut surely had a long, loving life with you, and I hope you find comfort knowing your care and love gave Peanut the very best life that could be. It’s just a doggone shame they are only “on loan” to us, but then, aren’t we all? I am so, so sorry for your loss, and so very happy for your life of love with Peanut. Check out our resources, call or email me if you need help, and Thank You for sharing, Dustin. We’re waiting to hear from you. Toni
