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

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.

Jackie, Please don’t burden your broken Heart anymore than it already is. Sometimes there are things that are very difficult for us to comprehend or do and helping our Fur-Babies cross the Rainbow Bridge can be one of those things. Please think of all the Beautiful Memories you had together and remember she’s still near you where you laid her to Rest 💙🐾💜 Give yourself some time to Heal and just keep her Love Alive in your Heart 💞 -

My friend just lost her puppy to canine dysautonomia. She had to put her young pup down. She was barely 3 months old. All our hearts are breaking.

On 9/6/22 @1215pm I said my final Goodbye as my Sammy Crossed Over the Rainbow Bridge 💜🐾💔🐾💙 He finally lost his battle with mouth cancer which he diligently fought since 2015 but he wasn’t able to eat and was at 9.9lbs so it was time. He was my Lil Black Panther and I will always have him in my Heart and Soul. I’ve owned several kitties even another black one but I guess hus strength and stamina in staying alive, alert and could outrun me in a minute just makes him a little bit more Special. I’ll always Love you Sammy and yes I have one or two other kitties that will be adopted from my sister’s Foster Failure … Rest in Peace Sweet Sammy 💙🐾🕊️🐾💜

@rita4120 Hi Rita.I am so sorry for your loss of Georgie. Our caring community would love to hear about your lives together, and see some photos. When did you say goodbye? How are you doing? Toni

Oh no, Susan. I am so, so sorry. These are the days we know will come one day, and when they do, it’s devastating. But, we know going in that our darlings are only “on loan” to us, and we get to enjoy the time of loving and joy together for as long as we, and they, can. It hurts in a way nothing else does and I feel it with you. A stuffed toy helped me – do you have something with which you can cuddle? Don’t be too quick to remove Teddy’s things. You may be surprised by the comfort they can bring you over the next days and weeks. Try to stay active and engaged with other things, and allow yourself time to feel your grief and the pain. That’s the path to a day when your memories will bring you smiles before tears. It takes a lot of love to share a life, and say goodbye. I hope you know that you and Teddy were very fortunate to have each other, and he would only want for you to rejoice in your shared life and love, as you would for him. Susan, please, please let us know how you are coming through. I’m thinking of you. {{ }} Toni -

Oh Jackie, the most loving and kind and generous gift you gave her was release and relief from her suffering. No matter how you parted, she knew you were only acting from love. I totally understand not “saying goodbye” and how that hurts you and makes you feel guilty. Years ago, my Prince was dying and I took him to the vet, and left him. He died overnight. That was over 40 years ago and I still wish I had stayed the night with him. I have said goodbye to many loves and each time, once the “sleepy” medicine is injected, they are already comfortable and at peace, and my loving words and touches are really for me – they are already resting and probably don’t know, sort of like when we are under anesthesia. When I let my Beauty Girl go in February, after the final injection, I kissed her and said “I know you’re not in there anymore” and that is the truth – we’re not in there anymore. No more pain or suffering, just peace. So go ahead and feel guilty if that helps you but I guarantee your baby would be absolutely grateful to you for the life of love and caring you shared, and only wants you to be happy for that. Saying goodbye is horribly painful for us, but how loving of you to give her release. I hope you will grant yourself the same kindness of knowing the final act of kindness is letting go, accepting the love you shared for the time you were gifted. No one here would ever join you in your guilt, only support for what you had to do from a position of love. And for sure your baby knew, and knows, you LOVE her and always will. Please, let us know each day how you are coming along – we’ll go through this with you, Jackie. Here is a big {{HUG}} I hope brings you a bit of comfort. Toni -

💔 A couple weeks ago I had to have my other baby put to sleep. She was in last stages of congestive heart failure and we done did everything there was to do for her. And I have been ate up with guilt. I didn’t tell her goodbye or take a few mins with her b4 they took her back and put her to sleep. And when I brought her home and buried her beside her dad( that I lost last year on 9-10-21) I didn’t even take a min to say anything to her then. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. It was killing me to have to have her put to sleep and I couldn’t deal with it at the time. And it was selfish of me and I regret it everyday. And I wish I would of took a few moments to tell her goodbye and let her know how much I loved her and was going miss her and that she was not going to have to suffer no more.But I didn’t bc of my own selfish feelings and bc I couldn’t and didn’t want to face it or accept it at the time. And I have been ate up with guilt bc of it. She had no idea what was about to happen and that this time when the vet took her back to examine her that she wasn’t ever going see me again. I was just a regular vet visit to her. I HAVE FELT SO GUILTY AND REGRET SO BADLY EVERYDAY THAT I DIDNT TAKE THE TIME TO TELL HER BYE AND LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HER & WAS GOING TO MISS HER AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOING BE OK AND SHE WASNT GOING BE SUFFERING NO MORE AND THAT SHE WAS GOING TO GO SEE and BE WITH HER MAMA AND DADDY AGAIN. AND I WOULD SEE HER SOON. THE GUILT I FEEL FOR NOT DOING THAT IS EATING ME UP. R.I.P.MY baby girl, enjoy ur time with ur other mom and dad. I’m so sorry please forgive me😭
