    Oh Dawn, of course you miss he,r and will. Are you finding your memories bringing you smiles and good memories, or is it still very, very sad? You should have a mix of both, but with a lighter feeling, I hope. Join us in our Group Meeting tomorrow. An email will come to you with the link. Stay in touch with us. {{HUGS}}

      Here’s an update with Mae. She is doing well, we are working on leash training, she already knows sit, and drop it. Still having issues with the potty training,so we are trying something different. She’s a handful. I do still think about Raina, sometimes/ most of the time there are still tears. While Mae keeps me busy, when she’s asleep is when the memories of Raina hit.

        OH MY DAWG … What fabulous pups, Melinda. I can see so much personality in their eyes. It’s so good of you to share your home and heart, so good for YOU to have them in your life. This is just wonderful, and thank you for sharing their stories and photos. We always like more :-). Don’t tell anyone, but we’ll be asking for cute costumes in October … just sayin’…Toni

          These babies are my children. It is a joy and gift to have them in my life. They keep me going and put a daily smile on my face. Each one has such a character all their own. So sweet and sensitive, especially my husky Brinley.

            Mira and Addie are two of Ava’s (whom I lost a year ago in April. She is the all black one in the picture) daughters. They will be 9 in October. Otto is the father. He is my first shepherd. He will be 12 in November. Brinley is another rescue, just like Ava. He will be approximately 7 in September. I don’t really have any info on him. His Gotcha Day is his birthday. September 19th.

            @tammylynn Tammy, I am so sorry for your parting from Hershey. Please tell us about your lives together, and share photos if you like. Was Hershey multi-colored? I know a dog who is and the entire litter are named after candy – Reese, Hershey, etc. Tammy, how are you holding up?

            How nice of you, Diana. You can see my girls’ pictures here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/beauty-girl/
            She was getting ‘cat’upuncture in the third photo. It helped stimulate blood flow to her kidneys. She was such a cool cat – you could do anything to her (which was FOR her), but she was almost 18 when it really was time to let her peacefully pass. I had a canvas picture made of her that I talk to and pet every day.

            I will be opening my home and heart to another soon, I hope. There are so many loving animals that deserve loving homes. Keep us posted on how you are doing, Diana. {{HUG}} Toni

            Thank you, Toni for your compassionate response. I am so sorry that your lost your Beauty Girl. Black cats are the most special of kitties and their absence creates such a void. Nicholas was the sweetest, most loving boy. He loved everybody and everybody loved him.
            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 2 months ago

              Oh no, Diana, while we didn’t know Nicholas, we certainly feel your pain and loss. He looks so much like my Beauty Girl to whom I said goodbye in February, miss every day, and am so happy I got to share a life with….. Not everyone understands the depth and strength of our relationships – but we do in this community, and I am very sorry for your loss, and very happy for all the joy and comfort and fun you and Nicholas shared. We’ll be your “furry family” ๐Ÿ™‚

                Yes i was able to keep 2. Panda shes 13 and Bubba hes 6. I had 8 dogs total where i was living at. And my husband lost his mind he started hallucinating hearing voices and alot of other stuff. But he really had gotten violate over the past 3 yrs. We have been married for 29yrs. And i put up with mental and physical abuse. When he started all my dogs went and hide. They was always there for me to comfort me. I had him put in jail again in April 2022. He couldnt find anybody to come post bail so he stayed in for almost 3 mos. He shoulda stayed in longer. But i had been trying to move since October 2021. When he was put in jail then. But anyway he threatened to blow my head off with his shotgun in April and something clicked in my head said get him away from there. We had a 27 yr old son that has downs syndrome and autistic. Hes 24/7 care. He has the mind span of like a 3 r 4 yr old hes still in diapers also. He saw his dad hit me so he started doing it. But hes stopped now. But…

                  Today was National Black Cat Appreciation Day. Not one friend or family member remembered my Nicholas. I was on the phone for a hour with a friend who also has a black cat and all she talked about was the husband she is planning to divorce. When I got off the phone, I felt the deep sense of alienation again from everyone I have feeling since Nicholas died suddenly before Christmas on 12/12/21. There was a lot of trauma surrounding his death because of the way Nicholas and I was treated by the last ER vet who saw him. Nicholas did not receive the appropriate medical care. I also recently found that that he had been misdiagnosed which has only compounded my grief, as I struggled to get him the right medical help during the pandemic. I lost my best friend and soul kitty.Not one friend or family member remembered my Nicholas. I was on the phone for a hour with a friend who also has a black cat and all she talked about was the husband she is planning to divorce. When I got off the phone, I I feel no one understands nor do they care how significant of a loss this is me. I just wanted to share my boy with people who love and miss their pets because his life mattered. Thank you for listening.
