@lorelei61 Welcome to our caring community, Lorelei. Please tell us about your life with Trouble. I love the name and hope you tell us how that came to be. We’d love to see pictures, too. How are you holding up? Okay, I hope. Toni

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 -

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}} -

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.-

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.-

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 -

I was lucky enough to have had Trouble in my life for 16 out of his 18 years of life.
Unfortunately, my sweet Trouble developed asthma about 5 years ago and was being treated with daily steroids and monthly injections but..over the last 6 months he had been declining rapidly..
I took him into his Vets office on August 5th and I was hoping that he’d be able to come back home with me.
But.. his health had declined so much and I didn’t want him suffering any longer so Trouble’s Vet and myself thought it best to have him humanely euthanized as heartbreaking as it was😔❤️😿
Trouble had been deemed my emotional support animal since I suffer with depression, I miss him more than I’ll ever be able to express.
People who know me always told me Trouble was lucky to have me..
But.. I always felt that I was the lucky one to have my precious Trouble in my life.
I wish you a good day Toni!
I found sleeping with a stuffed cat comforting, and had a canvas of her close-up photo made that I pet and talk to. I got the 16’X20″. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
I was too hasty giving away her food and things (to the shelter, of course) and encourage you not to force yourself to get rid of his things. Lorelei, do you think at some point you will be ready to open your home and heart to another? I wasn’t ready when a friends’ cat needed a temporary home and he was young and active and smart and funny and in the three months he spent with me, my emptiness evaporated and I realized how very fortunate my girl and I were to have our time together. I hope you reach the point you can open your home and heart to another, and that you find smiles before tears in your memories.
Please let us know how you are doing. We’re here for you. Toni
