Hi Toni,
Sorry I’ve been so out of touch. Thank you for thinking of me and checking in. I meant to let you know I would be unable to make the August zoom meeting as I was doing last minute vacation preparations, as I left the next day for twice two weeks to visit family in NH. I was also very worried about whether or not I’d be able to get one of my two new boys into the carrier to bring to NH with me. Thankfully all worked out and the 4 of us made it safely to NH and back again. I fulfilled my promises that I made to both Spirit and Autumn Ranger. On August 4, I welcomed two bonded 9 year old declawed boys, Oliver and Sebastian. I chose to keep their given names since they were older boys and I didn’t want to confuse them. They ended up back in the shelter after their human had to enter a nursing home. Oliver is a very out going and friendly and is nicknamed by me, Mr. Pudge, as he weighs in at 17 1bs. We’re trying to work on loosing some weight but time will tell. H… -

Continuing to hold you in prayer Carmelina and hoping that you are able to find some peace and healing in the wonderful memories you shared with Milo, over those 21 years. Never forget that while Milo is no longer with you person, he’s watching over you from the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and loves you from the great beyond as he did when he was with you. Holding you in prayer.

So sorry to hear of Scarlett’s passing. Please don’t blame yourself for not being aware of Scarlett’s illness. Animals have a way of hiding illness abs disease until it’s to late. Both of my girls whom I lost with in less than two months of each other would never have been diagnosed with their thyroid and kidney disease if they hadn’t presented with other medical concerns for which I brought them to the vet. Scarlett wants you to try to remember and cherish all the wonderful happy times you shared together. Her love for you even from beyond is unconditional. Holding you in prayer.

Kristi,
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear sweet boy Apache and for his fur sister who is grieving his loss as much as you are. Hopefully the two of you in your own special ways will be able to help each other heal. Praying for you and Apache’s fur sister during these difficult and painful times. -

Marybeth,
I’m so sorry for you and your family during this difficult and painful time. It’s never easy to say good bye to a beloved fur baby. I myself know I lost my Spirit and Autumn Ranger within less then two months of each other both passed from Thyroid and Kidney disease. Hopefully in the remaining weeks that you have with this dear sweet boy, you and your family can create some wonderful memories with him. Maybe even create a bucket list of things you’d like to do with him, if he’s not in to much pain, to create wonderful and lasting memories. I think it’s very touching that your son sees this precious boy as part of the family and wants to have him included in his Senior pictures. That says a lot about your son and the wonderful young man he must be. Holding you all in prayer at this difficult and painful time. -

Glenda, I’m so very sorry to hear of Kissinger’s passing. I think it’s even tougher when they cross the Rainbow Bridge, unexpectedly. Two consolations to hopefully find in his passing is one, you didn’t have to help make the decision for Kissinger and secondly, he knew it was his time and he did everything he could do in his own sweet way to say good bye to you and try to let you know what an important part of his life you were to him. Holding you and all your fur babies in my prayers. -

Health Concerns 4 years, 1 month agoThis super good boy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last month and has been on the struggle bus since. Last week we made the decision that we will be putting him to rest on October 1st (As my son wants him in his senior pictures first) and I am so not looking forward to that day. He’s only 10 and I was so sure I’d have more time with him! Life has been quite sad since the diagnosis, but I am soaking up every moment with him until his time is here. I referred to him as my “puppy immersion therapy” when we adopted him and he has been there for me in innumerable ways. My heart is just in a million pieces over all this. Glad a coworker recommended this group. Any kind words would be very welcomed.

Marybeth, I am so very sorry for what you are anticipating. Our community is here to support you because every one of us has suffered the loss of a beloved pet, and we will be here for you. I found a stuffed toy really helped me – my girl slept tucked under my chin and having the toy there in her place was a big comfort. (You can contact Cuddle Clones by clicking the link on the right side of this page).
Knowing Drake is unwell gives you time to prepare, and to make every moment extra special. My girl was very unwell and I knew in my head it was a relief and release for her to pass peacefully, but in my heart the pain was deep. We have to always do what is best for our babies and sadly, saying goodbye is sometimes the best choice for them. Perhaps you would like to have a memorial service for his family and friends, or a party before you say goodbye so everyone can shower him, and you, with love. Whatever you choose, please let us know how you are all doing. If you need an urn or keepsake, you can find a lot of lovely, many personalized, memorial items in our shop. I clipped a bit of fur from my beauty and keep that, along with a canvas of her I had made. I talk to her and pet that every day and it makes me feel better. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/custom-pet-canvas/
We’re researching the issue with photos and it seems that iPhones don’t allow direct uploads, so you can save as jpg and upload from that. Please let us know if you need help.
And Marybeth, please stay in touch with us. We will be thinking of you and sending our strength. Toni

Toni and Suzanne,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They meant a lot. We do have a special day planned, all my children who are grown are spending the night after my son’s senior pictures and we are going to hang out with Drake. Then in the morning he will pass peacefully in his favorite room in the house … our 3 season porch. We are planning to have his ashes turned into a planter that sprouts wildflowers so we can see them and remember him fondly each year. Then I am having a paw print and photo framed to place in my office. I really love the pet canvas idea too! I will definitely look into it. He’d make a very handsome portrait.
And thank you for this site. It is a great comfort during this difficult time!
Marybeth

Glenda posted an update 4 years, 1 month ago
it is with a very heavy heart that I write that my beloved Kissinger has passed away. I knew he didn’t act like he felt good on Wednesday. He always had to be touching me in some way wither it be a paw on me or his head on my knee, but Wednesday he laid his little head in my hand and slept. On Thursday morning he passed away and I am completely lost. He was 15 years old but his passing was so sudden, it has caught me off-guard. He is buried next to where I park my car so that he can still greet me when I come home. I know he is with Bubbles, Baby Blessing, Blackbeard and all the rest of my precious sweet kitties that have gone over the Rainbow Bridge. I still have 3 that I have to keep going on for…. Thomas, Tubby and Salt but it sure is hard.

Glenda, I am sending you my heartfelt sympathy. Suzanne says it so eloquently and I share her sentiments. We never have them with us long enough – they are only “on loan” to us – but it is always a deep pain when we say goodbye. Thomas, Tubby and Salt are probably mourning, too, and you are all fortunate to have one another to move through your grief together. Kissinger is at peace now and we know he would want you to find great joy in the years you had together. Please let us know how you are doing, Glenda. {{HUGS}}

Well 1 month ago today I lost my beautiful boy Apache. The pain is still as bad today as it was 1 month ago. I know he’s in a better place and I’m happy for that. But I still miss him so much. He has a sister who cries every day for him because they were inseparable. My heart breaks for her too. I try to give her extra love and hopefully we can comfort and support each other in coping with the loss of her brother 🙏. I love my boy forever

Kristi, anniversaries and holidays bring up strong emotions with the memories they commemorate. I really, truly feel better talking to and petting the canvas portrait I had made of my girl and you might, too. I’ll put the link below. What is your girls’ name? May we see photos? How old is she? Does she have some of Apache’s things around that she can be with? We know the whole family mourns a loss, including the other pets, and you are doing your best to heal you both. It’s not easy nor quick but one day you will find smiles before tears with your memories of Apache. Hang on to your girl and stay in touch with us. We are thinking of you both. Toni

I am so sorry Kathy. Anniversaries and holidays bring up memories, good, and sad. I hope you are recalling a lot of the good times, too. I know for me, even when I’m thinking of the good ones, sometimes I hurt and cry even though that wasn’t where I started, or wanted to go. It’s a mark of how close you were and how much you meant to each other. That’s such a treasure. A year isn’t very long and I hope you let us know how you are coming along. Please join our Group meeting September 22nd at 8 PM Eastern. We are here to support you. Sending you a {{HUG}}. Toni -

Randy, it’s wonderful to hear from you and get your update. We all remember when you first met Renzo and I have wondered how you two are doing. A splinter may be small but can cause big trouble if it becomes infected, and just imagine having to walk on it! I’m so glad he is doing well. Yes, the memories can bring great joy, but also grief. It happened to me the other night – I was just thinking about my girl and all of a sudden pain and tears came on. There is no timeline for feelings, and gratefully the happy ones come more often that not.
He is such a handsome fellow and I hope you will share more photos and stories with us, especially as the seasons change. Sending you my best wishes. Toni -

Hello everyone. Sorry I\’ve been outta touch for a while. I\’ve been busy w/work, yard work, vacation, car troubles & I tested positive for stupid COVID the other day! When it rains it pours! Anyway, work is good, working on the car & recovering well from COVID so no complaints here. Doing well w/our G.S.D. Renzo. Had him @ the vet the other day for a lame l.f. paw – turned out he had a thorn/splinter in his paw pad! The poor guy! Our vet removed, ordered a topical spray & after paying we both pranced out the door! Another satisfied customer! I still think about the (2) G.S.D\’s we lost in July \’21. It still hurts a lot at times as I\’m sure all pet owners know. So w/another summer just about in the books I\’m reluctantly facing the fact winter is coming. I wish everyone & their furry friends warmth & friendship.-
