They were calling her Troubles but I’m calling her Bella. I have had dachshunds since I was a little girl. This is a photo of Baylie & Coco.-
How fabulous of you, Regina, to share with so many dachs. They sure are cute and have a lot of personality. Who’s the big rabbit :-)???

Lol. That was an event for one of our shelters to raise funds at a local nursery at last year’s Easter.

She is super cute 🙂 Looks like a fun goofball, and you look very happy. How kind of you to keep your home and heart open to more love. What’s her name? Tell us about your other pus, too. Congrats to you all! -

I went to a animal shelter Saturday and adopted this girl who needed a home. They said she’s about a year old dachshund/lab mix. She’s super sweet but she’s a big goof ball – just full of herself & life. I think Cricket & Coco would approve. My other dogs are slowly starting to accept her. It’s still hard. At least her world will be better.-

Regina, I’m so sorry to hear that Coco crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I know that grief and pain having lost two fur babies in less then two months. I’m also very happy for you that you’ve found another beautiful girl Bella, who is in need of a loving fur ever home. I’m sure Coco will be very pleased to know you were able to find room in your heart in the midst of your grieving and pain at Coco’s passing. I told my two girls as I said my tearful goodbyes to them that I would adopt two more cats, in their memories, who need a loving fur ever like they once did.

Thank you Suzanne. I lost two doxies in under four months in 2019, one last year & now Coco.
I know getting another dog that needed another home & love is what Coco wants- but it’s hard to adjust to a younger dog after a senior. -
I know your cats were glad you got another one to fill the void they left in your heart.
Bella is trying to make me smile & laugh- sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn’t. It will take time.

Oh Regina, my girl slept tucked under my chin every night and when she died I was fortunate to have a stuffed cat that I tucked in. Obviously that’s not a replacement but it sure helped me.
Geez, it seems like dark clouds really do “gather” and come in groups. I am so sorry for what you are going through, and you WILL go through it all, but it’s wearying on every level for you now. Please, try to take some moments for yourself – to grieve but also to find a bit of joy or humor. We’re here. Keep reaching out to us, and know I am thinking of you. -

Coco was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in April & my mom was diagnosed with dementia in May. I am existing. I don’t have time to do anything for myself. We have several people off this week at work – so I’m having to be strong & show up at work.
It’s hard to sleep, because Coco used to sleep with me. I see where she used to lay in the house- it’s so hard.
I know Coco is happy to be with her momma Joy again. -

Ooops….Let’s plan for a September meeting …. we are meeting tonight, July 21st. -

You have a kind husband. He, and you, and we, know you carry Raina with you in your heart, soul and thoughts. You’re not “escaping”, you are opening yourselves to new smells, colors, events and environments by going elsewhere and I hope it does you all good – think it will. Getting out of our heads and homes can help a lot. And I think you should allow yourself to cry when you need to, and maybe bring something of hers along, to hold and comfort you ???? Martha, this takes time, and I hope a change of place will allow you and your husband to be present in those moments together. Please, let us know how it’s going, or how it went. It may help others to hear about it. I’ll definitely be thinking of you. Toni -

I still got a few tears looking at her picture. Her color looks so much lighter in this one! How is your son holding up? You, and he, are welcome to join our Group tomorrow (Thursday July 21st) at 8PM Eastern. It’s good to talk about it and share if you like.
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86749211396?pwd=SGtLRno3NG55TGQvVGNWTzd5VnhHdz09Trinity has only had wings for a short time and she will always be with you in your thoughts and hearts. I hope in time your memories will bring smiles before tears. You and your son may find comfort in creating a memorial to her: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
I am glad to hear from you and hope you will keep us updated about how you are all doing. We’re here for. Toni

Carmelina, do not do anything for which you are not ready. It’s a big thing to bring another into your home and heart and there’s no telling when you may be ready again. I had Boots for a few months after my BG died and he really helped me recover from that (I still miss her terribly and grieve, but with joy and less pain for sure), but Boots went back to his lady and I am not ready for another relationship now either. I know someone who lost her beloved dog over twenty years ago and is just now opening herself to another loving pet relationship. I feel bad for her that the fear of loss denied her the many joys of pet partnering for all these years, but I certainly understand, and it is totally up to us when, or if, we can share again. So my dear friend, we support you in every way and remain here for you to share with us as you move forward. If you can join us tomorrow, great! But if not, know we’ll be thinking of you. We won’t meet in August so let’s plan on an August group get together. Here’s another {{HUG}} for you, Carmelina :-). Toni
OH! Maybe you will find comfort sharing your own kind understanding and support with others here in our community who are hurting. Just scroll through and post your caring thoughts if you like. -

Hi Toni. I haven’t adopted yet. I have my eye on a few kittens but bringing myself to actually go through with bringing one home is another story. Yes, our pets get us through many things in life, but getting through losing them is the hard part. I’ll keep you posted. Hope all is well with you! -

Thank you, yes today is hard. I had pictures as memories come up in my Facebook feed. It feels like my heart is breaking all over again. We are taking a trip this weekend because my husband seems to think it I’ll be good for me. All I can think of is a trip without her. -

Regina, that is so tough – so much loss and sadness, and in such a short time. You must be aching and empty, and emotionally exhausted. What are you doing to take care of yourself? I hope knowing we are here for you brings you some comfort. Please let us know how you are. I’ll be thinking of you. Toni -

@msurber15 Hi Martha. I know today is a terribly hard day for you. This past month has been so very sad and painful with Raina’s parting. We are thinking of you with sincere sympathy, and send you our support. Toni
