    When you are ready, yes absolutely opening your heart and home to another is a wonderful and healing thing to do. Do tell us when you do, and share some pictures and stories, Compere.
      • That face! And how true…
        • Tani, we ARE getting your posts. I’m going to email you privately to figure out what’s happening. Toni
          • That’s ok Tani, I’ve posted on 3 different occasions and other than Toni I haven’t received received any response. But I posted anyway because it is theraputic for me to write about my animals. Maybe my posts are just too long. But I’ve got a lot to say, and Toni does respond to me.

            Been thinking about getting another kitty. I really miss baby Kee. Maybe a new kitty will help me through the loss of my furbaby that meant the world to me. Take care

              • Hi Compere. How is your kitty search? If you want to find a shelter or rescue in your area, go to the “Find Services” tab at the top of our website and enter your area. Click the drop-down menu to find a shelter or rescue. Let us know how you are doing. Toni
                • Opening your heart and life to another kitty will probably be very therapeutic for you. I know that doing so has helped heal my broken heart twice now. Just remember that you’re not replacing your furbaby, nothing can do that. I hope that your search goes well and that you find your next kitty soon. I have faith that you’ll be able to be happy again with your new love. Good luck.
                  • Hi Compere. I know it’s one year since you parted from Kee. It’s hard, these anniversaries, and I hope you are doing ok, remembering the wonderful times and love you shared. We’re thinking of you. Toni

                    I actually have “the traveling cat chronicles” I also would recommend it to every pet parent. Believe me when I say you all will get tired of hearing about meesha, lol. While I still cry over missing her her stories actually give me a way to deal with her departure from this life. Yes I have gone on to adopt another rescue, 2 actually, who I love immensely, and the one thing I have learned with rescuing the pain we suffer at loss is evened out somewhat with the joy. Meesha was my ultimate joy ( as will the two I have now I’m sure) I just really miss my meesha girl immensely.

                      Oh, what a lovely, and loving, story, T. So heartfully written and expressive. In the book “The Traveling Cat Chronicles” (I highly recommend it to every pet lover), the cat tells us animals have their “Person”. Meesha had you as her Person. Makes sense that just as we have special relationships with animals, they have with us, doesn’t it? And your ongoing work with, and for, other animals is so kind, caring and generous of you. Thank you for sharing this with us

                        Hmmm stories about meesha?
                        I’ll start at the beginning, How Meesha came to be.
                        I have had animals all my life, growing up on a working farm I’ve had animals of all walks of the animal kingdom.
                        I can honestly say while I have cared and loved many animals, meesha is the first one I fell in love with (sounds strange worded that way, but if a soul mate could be an animal meesha was mine.)
                        After the passing of my husband, I had a tough time figuring out how to handle the void. I became involved with rescuing dogs through a local shelter. With each rescue a little of the void would disapate.
                        I found where I was supposed to be, the look on an animals face after they finally knew love and kindness was like nothing I’d ever witnessed.
                        Meesha was one of those rescues.
                        It was instantaneous love.

                            Did you know?? You can “Search” for a pet or person by name in our Search bar on the upper right side? And, you can click on a persons name to read all of their posts? It’s so very helpful to hear from others in our Community, lending support, sympathy, encouragement, and of course – smiles and laughs, too!

                            • I’m having trouble doing this, I’ve been wanting to re-read my earlier posts, but am unable to do so. Am I doing something wrong? Or are they too old? Toni please help if you can. Thanks.

                                I am so happy to hear this, Dianne. I saw my beauty this morning, but not since, Every day I expect I won’t, but so far she eventually wakes up and we snuggle and love together, but she’s not doing too well. I’m where you were with George – evaluating when it’s just not fun or comfortable being her, and it’s in her best interest to help her pass peacefully. It sure is tough. Glad you are doing better – that encourages us all.

                                        Oh Randy, it’s so hard to look at their wonderful faces, and eyes, and know they are gone. I’m sad, too. But, that’s the deal we make going in – they are only “on loan” to us and one day we have to say goodbye. But boy, what a great gift and fulfillment for them, and us, to share loving lives together. You will always love them, and more and more you will find smiles before tears. I want you to know how much we appreciate your sharing with us. We’re all animal lovers, have suffered partings, and are totally thrilled when we see good, fun stories, too. Woof, and {HUGS}. Toni

                                          Hi guys. I\’m posting a few pics of the 2 shepherds we lost back in July. We love our shepherd Renzo but still miss Ranger & Axel. I think about them everyday w/mixed emotions & I guess I always will.

                                                  I am glad to hear. I know how scary that can be. She’s adorable.

                                                      He sure is handsome, and you are coming along well with your training :-). The photo of him looking up the tree (squirrel duty) is beautiful. It looks a little misty and magical. Is he eating an ear of corn, or playing with it? Thank you for sharing him with us, Randy.

                                                        Hello all. I think Renzo is training me to be a good play pal! It\’s always his way or no way. Throw, fetch & retrieve! Chasing a squirrel up a tree & car rides are also his favorite fun activities.

I think about you a lot because my darling old girl who will be 18 in March is doing okay but I can tell she is failing and I know how you and I share the terrible anticipation of their (George – Baby Mama) passing. It’s tough, to say the least. Any way, I do think of you and hope you will let us know how you are doing. Toni
