It’s with a heavy and broken heart that I share with you that my dear sweet little Spirit, lost her 2 plus years battle with Kidney disease, on Monday May 23, 2022, and crossed the Rainbow Bridge; where she’s now enjoying a life free of pain and suffering. I’m sure she’s now running free with Morgain, Kovu, Eragon, Chai , Lyta,Coda,Tabiths and her other 4 and 2 legged family members. My dear sweet Spirit I’m sitting here reminiscing about all the annoying, funny, sweet, loving quirky things you’d do. How you strolled into my house when the cable guy, there for the upstairs tenant left the porch door open and you moved into my basement. For the longest time you hid yourself from me but meowed so loudly that I could hear you through the graying vents in the floor; this you acquired your name because you were a talkative unseen Spirit. I also remember your last but if defiance the Friday evening before you passed when you swiped my pizza right off my plate. How you liked to sleep on the pillow right my head, standing underfoot all the time when I was preparing food, checking out what was in the refrigerator when I’d open it to get something out and the cellar door pan along all the time instead of using the many scratching posts you had access to. I’m thinking of getting a small table and placing it next to the basement door, that you always liked to scratch and placing your ashes there. It can take the place of the laundry basket I used to put there to prevent you from scratching and that I’d always have to move abs remember to put back each time I’d go to the basement. My days will be easier now with less prep work and I’ll save on cat liter but what I wouldn’t give to have my dear sweet girl back with me, as would her 2 fur sisters Saraya and Autumn Ranger. I miss you so much Spirit and it’s only been 2 days since I said good bye and let you cross the Rainbow Bridge. We had a wonderful 12 1/2 years together and I’m so glad that you chose me as your human mom. You may be gone but you’ll never be furgotten. -

Ann, holidays and anniversaries are tough. They trigger tons of memories and strong emotions that run deep. I find that trying to ignore those feelings just crams them up inside, so please let them flow. It’s exhausting and hurts, but also makes room for happy memories to be released. I call it “unleash the grief”. It may help you to create a lasting memorial for Gracie, which you can do here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
Gracie was fortunate to have you love her so much. She isn’t suffering any more, and would want you to be happy for the wonderful lives you were lucky to share. You’d want the same for her.
Please let us know how you are on the anniversary day, Ann. I’ll be thinking of you. Toni -

Sharon, it wouldn’t matter what day you gave Brody-Roe peace and comfort, releasing him from his suffering – it’s hard not to feel some level of guilt. Please know you acted in his best interest, not your own. We’d keep them with us forever if we could, but they are only “on loan” to us. You acted out of love and that’s what is important. It’s impossible not to miss our beloved friends – the house is emptier and quiet…… it’s hard. I hope you celebrate the times you both shared and enjoyed, and that your good memories outweigh the sadness you feel. I am sending a big Good Boy Brody! And a sincere {{hug}} for you, Sharon. Please let us know how you are doing. And, share some pictures with us – that’s a great way to memorialize Brody. We’re here for you. -

Well we put Brody down on May 4th 2022. Come to find out when I was looking at his papers that his birthday was different than what I remembered by a day. So, we put him down on his birthday. I feel so guilty. It’s hard enough being without him and the guilt makes it worse. I know it wasn’t intentional but it’s just weird. I miss you Brody-Roe. Momma loves that baby! ❤️🩹❤️❤️🩹

Good morning.
Well yesterday,Princess had her yucky drainage tube taken out.She is healing well.
I am able to take her outside to go potty.Her appetite is becoming better.I guess when you have really bad teeth it hurts to eat.But now she only has two teeth left.
On the first of June her staples come out and she can finally get rid of the cone.
I would say my prayers every night to let me have more years with her.She is my best friend in the world,and I would be so lost without her. -

Whew! This is Fabulous :-)…well, not the crate and tube and staples, but she can do it for a week. Hopefully the meds are making her sleepy so she doesn’t mind too much. And Dianne, Thank You for being such a kind, caring member of our community. HUGS to you Both! -

Hello to all new pet parents here.I am sorry for your loss of your faithful companion.
I understand your heartache.
My mama cat was struck and killed by a car 7 months ago,and my heart was shattered as I had her since she was 7 weeks old.She was almost 15 years old,and accidentally got out of the house.
You are at a wonderful place here,because we all understand what it is like to lose a beloved companion,but a family member as well.
((( Hugs))) -

Good morning.
Princess is doing well,and it’s killing her having her freedom restricted to being in a crate.
She goes in Friday to have her drainage tube and staples removed.
Even though she is on pain meds and antibiotics,she looks 100% better.I can’t wait to be able to take her on walks again.
Thank you for your kind words.
Much love~~~~
Dianne and Princess ❤️❤️❤️-

Dianne, I am hopeful that Princess will get fixed up and after you help her recover, will be back to herself. We’ll be waiting to hear from you, and you both will be in our thoughts tomorrow. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Hi Glenda, I think I fixed your issue. See you around, Cody -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 5 months ago
Glenda, are you feeling a bit better? How is Kissinger doing now? You don’t have to anticipate the future of your “cat life” right now. I certainly understand not wanting to go through the terrible pain of loss, and at some point as we age, we have to decide if it’s fair to a pet for us to bring them into our homes. You’ll see how you feel when the time comes, which I hope is a long time from now. Let us know how you all are doing. Here’s a {{HUG}} for you all. Toni - Load More
I had to say good bye to my beloved Autumn Ranger on July 18,2022.
The house just isn’t the same, last week I said good bye to you, my beloved Autumn Ranger, the second time I had to make this decision in less then two months. My heart is broken, my grief unbearable but I know to have kept you with me me would have caused you untold pain and suffering. You gently but purrsistently let me know it was time to say goodbye. You who rarely meowed started to do so more and more frequently. You were eating less and less and choosing not to take your meds. And this morning as we laid in bed you pawed me numerous times so I’d pet you and rubbed your head against me looking for your favorite head rubs. While I was enjoying sone extra quality time with you, having had to take the day off for your vet appointment, unlike me you knew today was the day we’d say good…
