Dianne posted an update 4 years, 1 month ago
Hi Toni,
I don\’t know how to say this but my dog Princess passed away today.
She had a cancerous mass on her belly and backside removed a few months ago.
I got up and walked her at 7 am and walked her again at 9:12am and as soon as she got on my porch,she suddenly couldn\’t walk.I picked her up and took her inside where she went fully limp.So I laid her on her blanket,and she seemed to be coming around.She are,and drank some water.Then during the rest of the day she seemed fine.So about 6pm I took her out again,with no problems.Then she was laying on her blanket,she suddenly started having breathing issues.Then she defecated all over herself.So as I laid on the blanket with her,her soul already left,as she couldn\’t see or hear me,and then her breathing completely stopped In a matter of five minutes,her tongue turned blue.
I have had her for 12 years. She was my best friend.-
Oh Dianne, you say it beautifully. I am so very sorry. She was so strong for so long, and you shared the gift of a loving life, and a passing into peace. I know there is a huge hole in your sole. We are all thinking of you and will be here waiting to hear from you. Call me if you want to chat. I am so, so sorry, Dianne. {{HUG}}

Remember 4 years, 1 month agoMy beautiful fella Jasper I had to let go on April 25, 2022, and I still hurt and cry for him everyday! He was almost 11 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was gone in less than a month after diagnosis. I got him at 3 months from a Dayton, Ohio rescue group, and while he frequently was a challenge and always very mischievous, he was a wonderful and loyal companion.-
Sue, you may cry for a long time, and I hope some of your tears are happy for the wonderful times you enjoyed together. Poor little Jasper, at least he didn’t suffer too long and is at peace now. But you are left behind, empty in his absence, and that hurts unlike any other pain. It takes time to heal and find smiles before tears with your memories. The upcoming holiday season may be tough, and we are here for you. Please let us know how you are doing. Toni

Thank you, Toni, for your words of love. Yes, I am grateful that Jasper didn’t suffer long, but it gave me little time to prepare for the loss of him. My 49 year old son died of COVID on December 19, 2021, and Jasper was so much comfort to me at that time, and before I had even begun to recover from the loss of my son, I lost my loving comfort fella. I am working on healing from both losses and am having a very hard time of it. I am trying to remember the good times, happy times, with my son and Jasper. My best friend gave me a plaque after my son’s death that says: “When I Needed A Hand, I Found Your Paw,” which was so fitting for the situation I was in at the time! Jasper’s paw was very much needed comfort and he seemed to know exactly when I needed it! Thank you again, for your loving sentiments.

Oh gosh, Lorraine, I am so sorry. It’s so hard to say goodbye, but when they are so young, it’s really, really sad. I’m sure his siblings are morning along with you. It’s good you have one another for support. We’re here for you, too. May we see pictures of Vinnie and the others? Please give them fanny scratches from me {{HUG}} Toni -

I’m missing my cat Vinnie, whom left me for the Rainbow bridge on January 6, 2022. In your short 5 years, we shared much love, fun and know you were a happy boy sharing good times with your sister and two brothers. We all miss you sweet, gentle boy. Until we all meet once again.

Karen, it was truly wonderful to meet you last night at our Group meeting. I know today you will receive Buddy’s remains and that is going to be hard. You are welcome to call me if you like. Buddy was such a lucky guy to have your love and care all those years and he would want you remember the joys and fun and loving times. He’s not by your side, but will always be in your heart. I hope you find smiles before tears soon, and I hope you stay in touch with us. We’re thinking of you. {{HUGS}} Toni -

How cute, Martha. Did Raina like getting in the water? Three months is not very long to mourn her and you’ll never know what might trigger a lot of emotion. You and I are facing our first holidays without our beloveds and I bet we both have very emotional times throughout those. You just made me think of that so let’s check in with each other here. I cry sometimes looking at her pictures and she’s been gone since February, so do move through your emotions and share with us – it helps. And please share more videos and photos with us, including Mae – we like to celebrate our pets, too! Did you know we are on Facebook: MYFaithfulfriends and Instagram: 1Faithfulfriends. If you would like to share this darling video there too, please do. Join us this Thursday Sept. 22nd at 8 PM Eastern on our Group Meeting on Zoom. Here’s the link:Faithful Friends September Meeting

Martha posted an update 4 years, 1 month ago
Photos of my beautiful Raina have popped up on my Facebook feed. Even though I have Mae I still cry. I still miss her even after 3 months. These are Mae photos at 4 months old. I just realized that Mae was born in May and so was Raina, only a few days apart. Of course 10 years an 10 days. Raina was born May 27, 2013, Mae was born May 17, 2022.
