Glenda, damnit, yes, the pain is so deep, and the emptiness in and around the house is so, so much to bear, but bear it we will because the years of love and joy and life with them is way worth it, do you think? Yes, I know in our heads we know they are “only on loan to us” for too short a time, but by golly, the many heartfelt moments bring such warmth and joy, you wouldn’t have been without them, would you? We are gifted with special pet loves. They are, too. It’s a powerful component to living a full life of love, and sadly, loss, but when we are able and ready, will we open our hearts and homes again? I think so, I hope so. I hope you let yourself remember the wonderful lives you shared, and feel really good about doing that again, Glenda. We are here for, and with you. Talk to and with us, let us be with you as you move through this. I am so sorry and am sending you a {{HUG}}. Toni -

Well, the last 2 months have been horrible. I lost Kissinger in September and then in October my precious Thomas (Flip Flop) passed crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. I am totally devasted. I loved all of my fur babies and the house just seems so empty although I still have Tubby. She stays in the bedroom most of the time, she has a food and water bowl as well and a litterbox in the bathroom. After having a house full of love bugs it just isn’t the same. I know I gave them a long life filled with lots of love, but it just wasn’t long enough for me, another 20 years would still have not been long enough. I have made arrangements for them to be looked after if something was to happen to me but now it is happening to my babies, and I am not prepared. I still have Salt outside and I love him, but I am not sure how many more goodbyes I can handle. Thanks so much for having a website where there are kind and compassionate people. We are truly broken hearted in Mayberry.

Elaine, a terrible thing happened and you are undoubtedly still traumatized. I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be. We don’t know what happened but we do know most animals kill quickly – it’s not a game for them like a cat playing with a mouse. It’s tough to have domestic pets when there are predators around. I lost a dearly beloved cat that way. It’s just horrific. I hope you find solace with Jesse – he needs you, too. The holidays stir deep emotions, too, so stay with us and feel safe sharing your feelings. We understand and care, and are here for you. Join our group meeting Nov. 17th at 8 PM Eastern – you’ll find kind, caring friends there. I am so, so sorry, Elaine. Toni -

Riley has been gone almost 1year 9 mos. I still cry my heart is still broken for him he was my soulmate and I can’t stand the pain that coyote must have caused him. I have his little brother he is 3 years Riley’s junior and I love him to the moon and back but Jesse is not Riley. I’m sobbing as I’m writing this. I pray every night for the lord to keep my baby by his side. He was only 3.

I’m so sorry, Sally. Seventeen years is a long life and in our heads we know that, but in our hearts there is never enough time together. It hurts. I hope you find joy in your memories. Please share your story of life together and let us know how you are doing. Toni -

It’s next to impossible not to feel guilty for for acts small and large that we think we could have done, but in reality, we always act in the best interest of our pets. In retrospect, maybe something could have been different, but you never did anything that wasn’t best for Mindy at the time, based on the information you had. Is that right, Liz? And the most important thing you ever did, or could do, was share your home and heart, and care for and about each other. There is no flawless relationship in life. Please make a list of the things you feel guilty about and one by one, recall the circumstances and I bet you will find that you made the best choices.
I am greedy – I want my pets with me forever, but they are only on loan to us and I have to cherish the endless fun and love, grieve the emptiness of parting, and then honor our lives together by finding smiles before tears with her memory. I know you will one day, but this is just a devastating time and it hurts at a cellular level. It’s not easy and we understand. We’re right here for and with you so feel safe sharing with us. I hope this {{HUG}} helps. Toni -

We fund each other almost 14 years ago, we were so sad and she brought happiness again….we were a family, every where together no matter what, Now sadness without words since her departure …. To express how we feel since she left? the horrible silence she left and tender loving memories all around, I’m just devastated beyond my words and beyond my heart …..I miss her so much, we miss her so much, all I think is the things I could have done And I didn’t do and now she’s gone forever, something my heart and mind can’t bear 😭💔

Mindy. What a Darling. So much personality, and those expressions! Liz Michelle, Thank you for sharing Mindy with us. Seeing her pictures I feel a tiny bit of your lives together. Thank You. So many emotions and thoughts come into play when we part from a beloved friend. The years of total joy and love that we would never give up, and the total devastation of saying goodbye. In our heads we know one day we will part, but in our hearts we are never ready. I am so, so very sorry. How did you and Mindy meet? How long were you together? When did you part? How are you holding up? I hope my {{HUG}} carries the sincere sympathy I am sending. Toni -
