So hello everyone.
Tomorrow is the day my best friend has her surgery to remove the huge tumor on her belly.
Please say prayers that she will come home.-
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

I am having problems posting, I have tried 3 times and it says that the post contains a inappropriate word. I have read and reread and can find nothing inappropriate. -

Yes, I have 3 more cats, Kissinger, Thomas and Tubby. Kissinger is 14, Thomas 11 and Tubby is 9. Kissinger and Bubbles were very close, and he still acts like he is looking for her, they have been a major comfort to me. Thomas has taken up door duty, he is always waiting when I open the door now and we are trying to adjust, it is extremely hard to do after so many years. I have said that after they are gone, I don’t want any more but can’t imagine life without a cat, it would be very lonely with a fur baby. Just after losing so many, I just don’t know if I can or want to go through this loss anymore. It is a shame that we only have so long with them, but at the same time I worry what would happen to them should something happen to me. I have always loved all animals but especially cats, I have always had a cat in my life and the oldest one was a solid white cat named Lucky she lived to be 21 years old and at one time I had as many as 15 so I have gone through a lot of hurt, but it is something you never get used too. So sorry for your loss and I hope your surgery was a success. and you have recovered. Please take care of yourself and stay safe. Thank you again for your kind words of comfort and providing a site where everyone can post their love for their fur babies. Always, Glenda -

I recently had to help a dear friend put her dog to sleep. It brought back all those awful memories of when I had to do the same for my Jack. It was and is the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make. We both cried.

Good morning, I guess.My little best friend is having her surgery tomorrow,instead of on June 1st.
I am preparing myself for two things.One,because she is 12,I am preparing myself in case she doesn’t wake up.
And two,I am preparing myself in case her left back leg may have to come off due to this cancerous tumor that is attaching itself to her leg.
I am super stressed out and I don’t feel well.
I have to take her about 7:45 tomorrow.Please pray everything goes well for her,and my little best friend can come home. -

The vet had said that she really didn’t want to have me make the decision of putting Princess to sleep,unless there were rescues with funding to remove the huge tumor on her belly,and the ones on her backside.It is so nice to have such a caring, compassionate veterinarian willing to help someone before making the decision to euthanize my little best friend.
Prayers do work -

Hello and good morning.
Well,my best friend had her vet appointment this morning.
And it’s not good news unfortunately.
The tumor on her abdomen is a fast growing cancer,and the ones on her back side is cancer too.
The vet said that this cancer will continue to spread.
I mentally prepared myself for this…BUT…there is also good news.
She had spoken with a rescue who has the funds for my dog to have the surgery covered.I don’t have to pay anything.
They took blood from her to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread.
The vet says she has a 50/50 chance of the cancer not coming back,which is good,I suppose than leaving this untreated.
So this is the update for now.Have a good weekend everyone.-
Oh my dawg, Dianne, how wonderful. I have been thinking of you both all day and am just delighted for you. Do keep us posted. 🙂

If it’s what is best for her, keep that top of mind. It doesn’t matter when you have to part, it’s going to hurt you, no matter how much time you get to have together. But if she is suffering and facing declining health, becoming more uncomfortable and being unhappy just going through what she is, it’s the supreme kindness, unselfish gift you can give her. It hurts from deep, deep within, but it hurts everyday you see her suffer, too. This way, she will pass in peace. You can know you acted only in her best interest, not your own, because we would keep them forever if we could. This is why I shared what helped me after saying goodbye to Beauty Girl (petting and sleeping with a stuffed toy, having a picture of her made, donating her food and things to the shelter), and why our community is here to share their experiences and moving through the terrible emptiness and grief. Dianne, you WILL find the pain easing, and you will have times when the tears and pain flood over and through you. But, please try to think of the great life, love and joy you shared. She could have lived on the streets and had a horrible life, but you gave her all you could and I hope you will think kindly of yourself. Now, you let us know what the vet says, and if you do say goodbye, clip a little fur to save- I did that and am glad to have a bit of my beloved with me. We are all here for you. {{HUG}} -

My anxiety is in overdrive because I am stressing over Princess’s vet appointment tomorrow.I feel super sick over this.In my heart,I know what has to happen,and I know it would be selfish of me to not ease her transition to the Bridge.My heart is breaking.She has been my best,loving little best friend in the world.

Oh Cathy. I never knew her and I am so very saddened, I know you and Milo are just destroyed. You will move through this together, and that’s the good part – you have each other. Please stay with us and let us know anything you want to share. Her is a HUGE {{HUG}} for you both. Toni - Load More
