My cracker was 5yrs old. Me and my late husband picked her out together when she was 5wks. She’s been my rock. She has such a sweet personality. She loved my grandkids. My husband passed 3yrs ago. And she was the last thing I had of him. It’s been really hard. She is missed by so many people who loved her so. -

Martha, you are so right – I said goodbye to my darling Feb. 24th and this week I got custody of a sweet, smart, big healthy young boy. A friends’ mother is unwell and when she returns home, I may have to give him back, but he’s brought me great joy and company. It’s helping me move through my grief. I thought I wasn’t “ready” for a new love, but I was wrong! I really hope he gets to stay with me, and I’ll keep everyone posted on developments. Did you use our FIND SERVICES tab to locate rescues and shelters in your area? Let us know what happens for you 🙂 Toni -

Oh, Susan, your little furbaby was so precious. I am so sorry for your loss. May you feel the comfort and how much we all care My little, Maltese Missy has been gone since August. I am still so lost without her company. Originally, I had said no more furbabies. However, I have come to realize that I need to find another baby to rescue. I have found a couple that I thought would work, but, others had applied ahead of me, so I did not get. I have to believe that God will provide me with the right furbaby when the time is right. -

Oh Susan, I know. I said goodbye to my beloved Beauty Girl three weeks ago tomorrow, and I know the pain that comes from a cellular level….. Buddy was soooo cute, and thank you for sharing his picture. We’d love to see more. I know I have hundreds of my girl and it’s hard to pick just one to express the many moods and expressions and joys…. It helped me so much to hold and pet a stuffed cat my Mother gave me years ago. Perhaps you would find comfort in that. We also provide “Cuddle Clones” – exact replicas of our pets: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/landing/
I swear, the morning after we parted the pain was so intense, I didn’t know how I’d get through it, and the stuffed animal really, truly gave me comfort. I had a photo of her made into a 16″ X 20″ canvas portrait, and that really shows all of her best features, and also brings me joy and comfort: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/pet-poster/
Susan, I am sincerely not trying to ‘sell’ you but sharing with you things that help me. It’s why our caring community exists – to understand and support one another during and through this most terrible of times. I hope knowing we care helps you, and I hope you share more with us. I will be thinking of you with sympathy and am sending you {{HUGS}} Toni -

Your baby was so precious. I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with this grief. Please remember that between hello and goodbye there was so much love. Don’t be afraid to rescue a deserving dog, not to replace your lost furbaby, but to help you heal. Sending you prayers for peace for your soul, healing thoughts 🙏💭🙏💭🙏💭 and many Pug hugs from my senior rescue Pug Grunt-Grunt and myself. Lean on the people here. Toni is phenomenal when it comes to support. She’s amazing. -
How kind of you, Dana, but you, and everyone in our caring community understanding and sharing are the reasons we exist. I’ve said it before – you are an eloquent and heartfelt writer and your support really means a lot. I was not looking for another lover right now when my friend called and I have ‘Boots’, at least for awhile :-). He has certainly cheered me, warmed my heart, and helped me move through the sadness and grief of losing my Beauty Girl. Pets and other life forms are truly amazing! Thank you, Dana, for being such a lovely part of Faithful Friends. {{Toni}}

I am so sorry to hear. I know she felt that love too.

Hi Ann. Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog Cracker. Was he a pure white German Shepherd? My wife & I lost 2 German shepherds last summer: A 10 yr old black & silver male named Ranger to cancer & our 11 yr old white one named Axel died a week later suddenly. We think he died of a broken heart after losing his buddy. We were so heart broken & know how you feel. Sympathies for your loss.
-
Randy, I remember Ranger and Axel, and how handsome they were. It is SO NICE of you to share your sympathy and understanding, and I can attest to how much it means, and helps, to know others understand and care…Thank you, and your wife, for being a kind, caring part of our community. How are you both doing, Randy?
-
Hi Toni. We’re both doing OK here. Been a busy winter with a lot of work hours put in but now just waiting for spring. Eager to get outside more with our dog Renzo who absolutely loves running & playing outside! I can tell he’s also getting a lil’ “cabin fever” from a long winter but we’re planning lots of outdoor adventures & car rides too. Everyday i still think of the 2 shepherds we lost last summer. They’re both buried in our yard under a nice apple tree along (2) other dogs who passed years ago. It still hurts so much because of the sudden way it unfolded. Brighter days ahead…
-
Yes, brighter days ahead, Randy. I said goodbye to my beloved Beauty Girl Feb. 24th and two weeks ago today, a friend called, their mother had taken ill and was not able to be home with her two year old cat, Boots, and would I take him in! He’s twice the size of my girl, has teeth (she only had one), and is a bundle of energy and joy (when he’s not being a monster). I had not intended to bring a new pet home yet, but I can attest that he has helped me through my grief. I try not to think of BG because, even though I know it was the best for her (she was turning 18 and was quite unwell), the pain of loss runs deep and lingers. So of course you still hurt and miss Ranger and Axel, but Renzo is one lucky boy, and I am delighted for you and your family to have new love and fun. Keep us posted. OH! Share some photos of Renzo and the springtime birds and animals and stuff he gets up to 🙂

Irene, I’ve been thinking back and am not sure it was widely offered in the ’90’s – being with our pets when they were being let go. Of course we now know how helpful it is to be together at that time, but I really hope you will not feel guilty – it may not have been an option then. We can’t always be with our pets as much as we like – we have obligations and duties (have to work to pay for pet food!) and I suspect our pets do fine when we are away. I am glad you have Kara and Star to keep you company. I know how empty my home has been since my Beauty Girl died two weeks ago, and how much nicer it feels to have the company of Boots now, even if he’s only a temporary resident :-). Irene, please release your guilt. You are obviously a loving, caring pet parent and have had to go through a lot of very tough partings. You deserve a medal, not guilt. What do you think? -

Geri, I want you to know how much your thoughtful story is helping me right now. I am living with Boots, the 2 1/2 year old cat of a friends’ mother who is in temporary assisted living. It’s very hard to think of Boots going back to her one day, and your story really helps me know how much she misses him, and he probably her. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your touching history with Syrus and Hex. This is one of the reasons our community is here – to support and celebrate together. I am sending three {{BIG HUGS}}.

Hi everyone, sorry I have not kept updated. I had Covid back in January so Syrus Stayed with a friend while I was in the hospital. I came home but I had to be on oxygen for a month so she kept Syrus for me. He did come to see me but every time he came to see me, and he saw that oxygen tank he would panic. Syrus has separation issues, and he is also very skittish. If something makes a loud noise, falls or high wind, Syrus goes into panic mood. He starts shaking, and hides behind me. I believe that he was abused, because he’s got spots over his body where he’s missing hair. It looks like somebody might’ve been using him as a target with a bb gun.He was also deserted during hurricane Irene in Florida. When he first came to me, he was petrified of all people. He was always friendly with other animals and kids. Now he’s getting used to people. I also have Hex the cat who was feral, and who stayed with me through the whole Covid situation. My friend did take care of him while I was in the hospital, but could not take her to her house because Hex likes to claw. Even though I have claw pads for him, he still goes around scratching anything that is wood, and my friend has some expensive furniture. He is a very friendly cat, and loves to be rubbed. I have a lot of windows in this mobile. Hex is now an indoor cat, and he loves the windows. I live in a mobile park with a lot of trees so he gets to see squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and foxes. Plus a lot of birds. He runs from window to window to watch them. The only thing he doesn’t like is water and when things fall. I love them both very much, and I missed Syrus a lot when he was with my friend, even though Hex was here to comfort me. Everyone have a great day

Precious passed in 1995. He was an angora, the son of my other cat Cinnamon. I had to put both of them down at the same time. The doctor wouldn’t let me stay and say goodbye. I was hysterical. Not 1 day goes by I feel so much guilt for that. I think about them everyday. Along with Jasmine. I lost her in 2010. I feel guilty for her because I wasn’t home enough. She had kidney problems. Precious and Cinnamon had cancer. So everyday is hard for me. Kara the cat I have now since 2013 she was a blessing. With her also have Star. He is so crazy. He was my sister’s cat. When she got sick I took him. He is a pistal. They are my world. - Load More
So sorry
