    Thank you, Tay. I haven’t cried (yet) today, so hopefully it gets easier.

      Of course you did, Susan. It’s shocking to see him when you weren’t expecting to. I bet whoever posted it meant it kindly, in his memory. I ordered a canvas print of my girl. Probably will get a woven throw, too (they’re really nice). But that’s different from seeing Bugsy when you weren’t prepared. How are you doing now, Susan?

        So sorry Toni

          Nothing much.Facebook shared a video of my dog Bugsy and I got a little upset Thursday.

            I am so to hear! I’m sure she felt the love you provided her every day. You are in my thoughts today.

              OH! I created a memorial for her and just had to include the picture of her getting “catupuncture 🙂

              Beauty Girl

              • Aww…she was so adorable!
                • She really was a beautiful girl – inside too. Every vet tech and doctor (and we had a lot of them) said she was the nicest cat ever. She was truly exceptional and everyone noticed that about her. I know you’ve had your heartbreaks too, Martha. I hope our community helps everyone as much as it is helping me at this time. Thank you for reaching out to me. How are you holding up?
                • Toni Noel posted an update 4 years, 8 months ago

                  Sheryl, thank you. And Jeri, you asked if she was a rescue. Yes – I was a Foster for cats who need medical care and met my beloved when she was 13, having had all but one tooth extracted, and she was very, very sick. That was five years ago We fell truly, deeply in love, she got healthy, happy and energetic. This last year we have been treating her myriad of health challenges. I know it was a relief and release for her to just relax and go for a comfortable sleep. I dread trying to sleep again tonight. But It helps so much to not be alone by having our community here. I am grateful for having her in my life, and for this community of caring people.

                  I’m sorry for your loss. You said it exactly right. The emptiness and devastation are beyond words.

                    Randy, how dear of you, and I really appreciate your kind words. You told us so nicely about Ranger and Axel and I hope soon I can do the same about my beloved girl. Just a little too raw tonight, but getting better. Thank you for caring, sharing and understanding, Randy. Give Renzo an extra hug from me tonight. {{HUG}}

                      Sorry for your loss Toni. We grow attached so quickly to our pets & when we lose them it is heart breaking. I still grieve for the 2 shepherds I lost in July 2021. I look @ their pics & try to remember good, happy, fun times w/them.
                      • Toni Noel posted an update 4 years, 8 months ago

                        Brutal, isn\’t this first day without her. Everywhere I look is empty. As I always say, in our heads we know what a kindness it is to give a peaceful passing, but every cell in me is torn apart.
                        This is why we founded this community – to share and find comfort. Thank you for your sympathy and understanding. Toni

                          Everything is so empty. My house, my heart. I have created a memorial for her and your words of support there will be so welcome if you care to. I am just devastated.

                                    I’m so sorry, Toni. Thinking about you today. You gave her such a great life over these past few years. 🤍

                                      Jeri, thank you again. You say it all beautifully. She\’s at peace now. I will write more soon, but am just bereft and heartbroken right now….

                                            • Toni, I’m just so heartbroken for you at the loss of your girl. You, and the rest of this community, were so caring and supportive when I lost my buddy, Rascal in 2020. The pain at first is just searing, and I wondered if I would ever catch my breath again. Thank you and this community for walking through the pain with me. I hope you are doing a little better each day and that you will heal as you continue to help all of us. Please know that you are loved.
                                              • Oh Gail, you have made me cry with your own kind words and I thank you so much for your generous contribution to help keep our community going. I’m doing it alone and need some support to cover costs. Thank you for helping us help others…and now me, as I move through this truly ‘searing’ pain. Here is another {HUG} for you. Something really cool happened tonight: I was sitting on the ottoman in my den where BG and I often sat, and the remote went to “0”. I hadn’t touched it, and have never hit zero before. She often stepped on it and changed the channel so I figure her energy came for a fanny scratch and belly rub. At least, that’s what I’m going with. I really did not touch it. I always say, and I know, intellectually she was so sick and I doubt she would be with me now, and she had a very peaceful passing, but the depth of pain from the emptiness and loss of her company are so deep. You have really touched me and, yes brought tears, but also comfort. Thank you again, Gail.

                                                Toni I’m so very sorry. I know your heartache. It’s our selfishness to keep them with us because we love them so very much. But we love them so much to give them peace when they are hurting and their sweet little bodies are failing them. I know how empty and sad you will feel. My heart is with you today and the coming days Toni. I’m wrapping my arms around you in a big hug. I’m coming up on 7 months since I lost Chloe and I still have moments of tears. They are a big part of our family. You mentioned 5 years, was your baby a rescue? Could you share a picture and tell me about her? Thinking of you…💔💕
                                                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                                                  Thank you Jeri. I’m taking her today at noon. Yes, the tears come from deep within, but she deserves a peaceful exit. We’ve been treating her multiple health challenges for over a year but she’s failing and I am sure she is not going to improve. She’s losing weight, has more blood in her stool, is vomiting more…the list goes on. I am grateful for our five years together. Heartbroken to my core. And thankful for your support and understanding.

                                                    I’m sorry Toni you’re going through the heart wrenching season with your girl. It’s so hard to watch and accept, I’m so sorry. I guess you’ll know when it’s time and your heart will break and ache. They are such a important part of our family. Just today I ran Across a site that asked the question, “do you have a pet that has captured your heart more than another?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m a die hard animal lover! We are snowbirds, do the RV thing just so our girls can be with us! But I have never had a pup like little Chloe, that Captured my heart so completely. She was always in my arms or on my lap! All 4 lbs of her! Followed me everywhere. I just feel so lost and incomplete without her!! I just don’t know how adjust without her….💔
