@michelleg Hi Michelle. I am so sorry for your parting from ScoobyDoo. A doggy I am guessing? Please tell us about your lives together, and share some photos if you like. Toni

Handsome. How old was Vinnie? How long were you together? How did you meet? Holidays and anniversaries can stir some powerful emotions and I hope you remember the great times you and Vinnie shared. -

Marybeth, I am crying for, and with you. I have thought of you, Drake and your family every day. What a lovely and loving gift of joy and sharing you all gave Drake. Here’s what I know- in our heads we know Drake is at peace, out of pain and you shared a wonderful life together. In our hearts, it’s painful, lonely, the house is empty. It takes time, yes, and you will find smiles before your tears. We are here for you with caring and understanding. I hope you will keep us updated on how you are all doing, and that you might join our online group meeting October 20th at 8pm Eastern. The link will be in that week’s email, and posted here.
Also, please create a lasting memorial to Drake. It’s only $10. and I find it helpful to have one for my Beauty Girl (who died in February). https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
You are in my thoughts. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Friday was a beautiful day. We cuddled. We ate fries. Got dressed up for family pictures. Actually laid in our own bed. And finished the day off be cleaning out a mostly empty peanut butter jar. He was definitely sent off in style. Saturday we said goodbye. I’m still waiting for that relief that everyone keeps talking about. All I can think of right now is how lonely my office is without him. I’m sure it gets easier. Just not today.-

Hi, Vinnie was 5 yrs. old when he passed. I adopted him from the cat rescue I volunteer at. He was 7 months old at the time, and I fell in love with him. My other 3 cats bonded with him shortly after he joined us. He was an active little guy and of course got into mischief. He was a soft soul who loved to sit on my knee while I watched tv or read. He slept next to me and he was waiting by me when I woke up each morning. He loved people and wasn’t shy. I’m so happy I took him to my mom’s last Christmas, along with my other cat Bear, not knowing that it would be his last Christmas with us. Like most cats he enjoyed the excitement of boxes and wrapping paper, and both cats had a ball. I have some nice pictures and memories of that time. This year will be very different, but I know his spirit will be with me. Miss you my baby boy. ox

How wonderful of you to volunteer at the rescue, Lorraine. That is so important. I adopted my Beauty Girl I was fostering for medical care. Same story – we fell in love and there was no way she was going back to the shelter! She died this February and you are right, this holiday season will be much emptier without her. I am sad Vinnie was so young. That’s extra hard. But it’s good you have your others to share love with. I hope they are doing okay – they no doubt miss Vinnie too. Thank you for sharing your story and the pictures. We’d love to meet Bear and the other kits, too. Toni

So Handsome! I loved hearing about him. So much love.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, he was a little lovebug. Always had to be near me. If I was in one room too long, he would come looking for me. He was the “Walmart greeter” of the house. His little eyes would light up when I came home. Actually, he and my other cat Bear would be there to welcome me home. Of course, only Bear greets me now, but there is always that missing you feeling. Holidays are coming up and that missing you feeling will be stronger, but my other 3 cats and I will get through it somehow.

Attended a Blessing of the Pets with a friend today at St. Mary\’s Anglican Catholic Church. Father Kevin Bell gave a charming service and blessed the pets. It was charming. Perhaps your local churches or pet funeral homes offer a blessing.-
That is adorable!

Oh Wendy, just July. That’s so recently and you must be still very sad and sore. But I hope you aren’t sorry to have loved Layla, to have shared her life and given each other great joy. This is the hard part of loving-the parting. But, we get to keep them with us in our memories and hearts. Wendy, I hope one day soon you will think of Layla and smile, smile, smile before you have tears. She would want that for you, don’t you think? Stay with us here. We understand, and care. Toni -

Truth. ell your grandson the truth. Our pets, just like everything – really, everything, only get to exist in physical form for awhile, but their energy and memories and Love are everlasting. Look at trees this time of year-every leaf must change and fall. Maybe he will understand that. Oh Dianne, it IS empty and quiet. I think that is one of the hardest things – she isn’t there to talk and cuddle and just be there with you. That’s why I found even a stuffed toy so helpful for me – something to fill some empty space, to hold on to and talk to and cry on…..it’s why we’re here with you. We can never. no one can, take the place of Princess, but we share your pain and sadness. We’re here with you to care and know the depth of your pain. And, we know, as do you, how tremendously lucky you and Princess were to have the quality of love and life you shared. Please think of how fortunate you both were, and are, to have shared your lives. It’s sort of all we can hope for, isn’t it? I am, we all are, thinking of you with sympathy ……. HUG HUG HUG Toni -

Hello.Well I don’t know what to say because I am lost without Princess.My house just isn’t the same anymore.I miss her barking at the wind,or anything that moves outside.I guess I am numb from her sudden passing.I talk to her at night.I tell her I miss her and love her very much.
I don’t even know how to explain to my three year old grandson who asks “where’s Princess”?
I am trying really hard.-
