Not sure what to put here. I a new to this. My service dog Luis crossed the rainbow bridge on May 21st of this year, so a week ago Saturday. Have to say that the first week without him was tough. Once I got his ashes back it was not as bad.

Glenda, 1. Our tech guy fixed the thing that was giving you trouble – it wasn’t you or what you said, it was something in our system. Sorry about that 🙁
2. Shelters everywhere are overly full now and it’s just a desperate situation, so if you can keep the kittens and mother for awhile, you are an angel. To find more shelters, go the link below and enter your area, use the drop-down menu and click Animal Rescues & Shelters, or other pertinent areas. Maybe you can find a place to help. And some pet stores will let you present the kittens for adoption. Here’s the link:It’s been a while since I have been here, but I always read the newsletter you send. Yesterday my beloved Bubbles passed away. After 17 years of being together, I am lost. She never acted sick or like she was in pain. She was always running from one end of the house to another, jumping up the air and turning around. I always said she acted more like a kitten than a17 year cat. She loved to eat…pickles, onions, tomatoes plus her regular cat food. My cats have never tried to steal food from me but if something fell in the floor Bubbles would have it eaten before it hit. It will take a while before I get used to her not being here. She was always waiting for me when I opened the door and would look at me lovingly when I kissed her bye on the way out. I am deeply heartbroken.[Read more]– Glenda (@ghorton01) May 3, 2022
3. I understand how you feel about Bubbles, having said goodbye to my beloved on Feb. 24th. But, thank goodness you have the others, and they you -what a difference it makes to have them in your world. I was taking care of Boots, a 1 1/2 year old (scroll through the posts and you can see some of his fun photos), and he went back to his lady this week. I cried for five nights and my home is empty. But, I am hoping he is happy and healthy, and am grateful for the healing he brought me. So Glenda, let yourself feel your grief for Bubbles, and treasure the time you have with your other faithful friends. And thank you for your update. Our community is here for us to share our happy, and sad times, and it means everything to hear from you. By the way, would you be interested in a video group visit once a month or so, to share stories and support? Let us know. I’m thinking of you all, with warm wishes. Toni -

Thanks so much for your kind words and the Hug, sure can use both. Sorry it’s been so long since I responded. I am adjusting to Bubbles not being here as is Kissinger. He never leaves my side and if Thomas should lay down next to me Kissinger crawls on top of him, so he can be touching me. Tubby isn’t close to anyone, she is very independent and prefers to stay to herself, though she loves to be snuggled, it’s when she wants to. I have been feeding a neighbor’s cat since they quit feeding it, it will not let me touch it and it runs until I have gotten back inside. Well, the other day I went out for the morning feeding and to my surprise, there was 3 kittens. I was excited and upset at the same time. I picked up one of them and it bit me, they have razor sharp little teeth so now I know I have 3 more mouths to feed, until I can find them a good home. They are adorable and I can remember a time when I would have said they had found their furever home but not now. I live in a small town, and we have one rescue, and they are full and not accepting anymore cats so that is not an option. Hopefully I will be able to post this without using any words deemed inappropriate this time. Wish me luck in finding the new babies a home and I will keep you posted. Thanks again for providing such a wonder site that lets people share their love of animals. They are family too. Always, Glenda -

Thank you Tay for your kind words. Bring a part of virtual groups like this make the grief and pain easier to bear. -
Suzanne posted a new activity comment 4 years, 5 months ago
Thank you Toni for your caring thoughts. It’s hard especially when I’m doing things that remind me of my dear sweet girl. But knowing that I have a place to share my pain sadness and grief with people who know and understand what I’m going through both virtually and in person, helps the grief and pain to begin to heal. Thank you for your thoughtful comments and for permitting me to join this group. I’m also thankful that I have two other beautiful fur girls Saraya, who will be 16 next month and is in terrific health and still likes to play like she’s a kitten and Autumn Ranger who just turned 12 and like Spirit, also suffers from kidney and thyroid disease at the moment is holding her own, who help with the grief and pain because they give me a reason to keep on living. 🤗💔❤️🐾🐈⬛ -

Suzanne, how are you doing now? I was, and am still, so very touched by your beautiful Spirit. She and my beloved Beauty Girl looked so much alike (you can read her memorial here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/beauty-girl/ ). I have a canvas picture of her I pet and kiss every day, and while I am glad for her to be at peace, as you are for Spirit, I know how much you miss her. Please, keep us posted about how you, and your other faithful friends are doing. {{HUGS}} Toni -

I am sorry to hear Suzanne. This was beautifully put. I can feel the love you put into this post so I have no doubt Spirit felt that from the time you let her in. You are in my thoughts. -

Oh Suzanne, I can’t see the keyboard because I’m crying so hard reading this. I’ll be back with you tomorrow. But please know how you have touched me with your loving story. I am so sorry. Toni - Load More
Will you be meeting another service dog? It won’t replace Luis but it will bring new love and joy into your home and heart. Please let us know how you are doing and what’s happening with you. If you would like to join a small gathering of our kind community members, we are meeting via Zoom Tuesday June 7th at 7 pm EST (4 Pacific). Let me know and I’ll send you an invitation.
Christine, if you would like to share some photos of Luis with us, we’d love to see them. You can also post a permanent memorial to him here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
I hope you do better each day, and find smiles before your tears. Toni
