Remember 4 years, 9 months agoStill missing my little one sooooo much. Would love to get another dog but my husband has a huge German Shepherd that won’t accept other dogs. That also makes it hard.

Cindy, you touch me in many ways: Charlotte looks a bit like my girl who will be 18 in March. I know it’s so terribly gut wrenching to say goodbye, and that we also know, and are grateful for, the long time we had to share. I am personally so very grateful to you for sharing this, Cindy. And very, very sorry for your parting. Yes, Charlotte is woven into the fabric of your life and being, and cannot be forgotten, but must be celebrated! hopefully you are finding smiles before tears with her memories. I hope you will be an active member of our caring community, sharing your own sympathies and understanding with others, It means so much. We love to celebrate happy times, too, so share yours with us. I’m sending you a {{HUG}}. Toni -

This is our pretty kitty Charlotte. She was our baby from 04/04/04 until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge on June 12/2021. She will be forever missed. ❤❤❤-

She also looks like my kitty who is going on 12. I can’t imagine how empty it is without your kitty. My kitty lays in the same spot every day on the top of the bed next to the throw pillow. I’m thinking of ordering a pillow from those places that do blankets, etc. from a photo. Have you thought about doing something like that? It might bring a smile to your face when you look at it. Just trying to suggest a way of bringing smiles to you.

We have tons of pictures of her. I may do a blanket with pictures of her and our dog Gally who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2015.
I have their urns in my office room on my desk. I go in there and give them both a hug and tell them I love them every day. For now that’s all I can handle. ❤ -
Karan, you are exactly right – there is great comfort in keeping their presence with us in a pillow, throw or other reminder. You can find a lot of lovely items here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/product-category/personalized-products/

I know exactly how you feel, the pain of choosing to put your poor baby down and the pain of not having Rocket with you. I just had to do the same with my poor Snickers I miss him every minute of every day. I am here for you I know the pain. Sending love ❤ and prayers 🙏 -

Jeri, we have a book/journal in our shop: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/
It was written by Reagan Pasternak – perhaps you know her from her career as an actress – who created it to help her through her own grief of losing her most beloved Griffin. Some of our members have found it helpful, and you may too. We also have a pet grief counselor available if you would like to speak with him:
https://heartfeltfarewells.com/
Of course, we are all here for, and with you, to share your feelings. We get it. We understand. We care. Let us know how you are doing, Jeri. -

Oh Dodi, how nice of you to share your home and heart with Zoey. There is nothing I can think of that is more generous and caring. We’re not in charge of anyone’s destiny, but we can give these charming innocents a good life for as long as they are “on loan” to us and you did just that. It’s seeing them falter, and saying goodbye that hurts us so much. I am so very sorry for your pain. I hope you find smiles before tears in Zoey’s memories. She was so adorable – thank you for the picture. Keep us posted on how you are doing. -

I do not understand your feelings of “guilt”. It seems you did everything, just everything you could for Rocket. I understand we are inclined to feel we could have done more, but what more could you or the doctors have done in such a situation? We second guess ourselves, chastise ourselves for not noticing something, or knowing more, but I am absolutely sure you always did what was in Rocket’s best interest and your feelings of guilt are misplaced. I hope you will be kind to yourself, as you know Rocket would be, and would want for you. Your grief is deep, and raw, and you should be in a puddle on the floor with sorrow (but please, no guilt). Princess Ping Pong is mourning too and knows you share this grief together. You are fortunate to have each other. Euthanasia is a gift of peace and release, a relief from current and future pain and suffering. It takes a tremendous amount of love and selflessness to let our beloveds pass with comfort even though we suffer the loss at the deepest cellular level. I admire you for your efforts over the years, and beg you to never feel a whiff of undeserved guilt. I am grateful to you for sharing the gallery of pictures that show Rocket’s personality and let’s us get to know him a bit, and share your grief. Please accept my sincere sympathy. Please also stay with us as often as you want, need or like so we can be here for you. It’s not much, but it’s heartfelt – here is my {{HUG}} for you and one for Princess Ping Pong {{HUG}}. Toni -

Remember 4 years, 10 months agoOur absolute SWEETNESS Rocket. Had him on several serious meds for 3 years for his liver and Cushings. Then last week he stopped wanting to eat and I took him in and his vitals were ok. The next day they took his bloodwork and then she came in and said he’s in acute kidney failure and his kidneys are shitting down. She said even if we hospitalize him he’d need to be on times for testing and not with us but that the outcome will be the same, so she had to put him down. They picked him up yesterday from the cremation place. I feel so sick inside and SO extremely guilty. Also trying to comfort my sweet Princess Ping Pong who’s looking for him, and sighing, and can’t stop crying and trying to talk to her and it kills me that I can’t help her understand, but I can’t even be,p myself 💔🙏🏼🥺-
