Hi everyone, it’s been a long time since I’ve visited this site, but please know that I pray daily for all who are mourning the passing of a beloved Pet ,that they may feel God‘s loving healing, embrace. I also pray that anyone both human and animal who is dying will be surrounded by family , friends and those most significant and important to them. That said I’d like to share a memorial in loving memory of my sweet, lovable Oliver.
On Saturday morning, March 29 you shattered my heart into a million pieces when I had to say goodbye to you Oliver. your passing was so sudden and unexpected , that I had no time to really prepare myself. Yes you had health issues which you were being treated for but we were just at the vet Friday morning for a quality of life check and the vet said you were holding your own. Then three hours later, you started yowling like a screaming child and acting strangely. I picked you up to comfort you, and after calming down some, you jumped down from my lap and lost total control of your back legs. Both the emergency vet I took you to Friday evening and your own Vet believe it was probably a thrown blood clot that prematurely took your life. I took you to urgent care and the Vet and I talked about what was best for you. She gave you some pain medication as I chose to take you home so Sebastian your bonded brother could be with you as you crossed the rainbow bridge because I didn’t want him dying of a broken heart like my Saraya did after she lost her two bonded sisters, within two months of each other. Big mistake on my part because despite the pain medicine given to you, your fear and anxiety were off the charts and it was a long night for both of us. Thankfully, Your vet Stack veterinary Hospital was able to get us in shortly after they opened Saturday morning and Sebastian and I surrounded you with our love and sadness as we said goodbye and you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The greatest gift I was able to give you in the 2 1/2 years we shared together was letting you go rather than prolonging your suffering, even if it did shatter my heart into a million pieces. To say Sebastian and I will miss you is an understatement. The hole that you have left in my heart may never totally heal, but knowing that you are free of all pain, fear and anxiety will help me to heal, Oliver. You were that one cat in a lifetime that touches ones soul. You adopted me versus me adopting you. when I did my pre-adoption visit with you and Sebastian. I did a crate visit as the SPCA did not want to force Sebastian, your shy, timid, brother who deeply misses you to have to come out of the crate. When I reached my hand into your crate to Pet, you both, you put your paw over my hand and started licking my hand, letting me know I was yours. It was love at first sight and I knew you and Sebastian were meant to come home with me. I only wish your time with me and your brother had been longer than 2 1/2 years but now you are free of your cancer, heart disease and any other health issues we weren’t aware of. until we meet again when it’s my turn to cross the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. please guide me in my search for a new fur baby to welcome into the family in your memory that needs a loving forever home like you and your brother once did. gone from my sight but not from my heart. 💔🐾🌈😿❤️ love you forever Oliver, your human mom, your bonded, brother, Sebastian, and your brothers, Takoda and Oreo-
Suzanne, what a moving and heartfelt tribute to beloved Oliver💔❤️It is so loving and generous of you to help him find relief and release from his suffering. It is also the hardest part of loving our babies – letting them go. The emptiness and hole they leave within our hearts and homes is deep. We know, in our heads, when we meet a new little love that one day we will have to say goodbye, but our hearts are never ready to part. I applaud the strength and kindness you have, and continue to share with these deserving sweethearts, and that you are willing to open your home and heart again. You, Sebastian, Takoda and Oreo will help one another heal, and Oliver will always be a treasured member of your family. Thank you Suzanne, for sharing your touching and inspirational story with our caring community, and for the support and kind understanding that you have shared with others here who have suffered the pain of parting. We are all here for you and want to hear more from, and about, you and how you are all doing. When you welcome your next love, we are excited to share in your joy. I am sending you, Sebastian, Takoda, Oreo, and Oliver, a HUGE HUG and my best thoughts. Toni -
Hi Suzanne, I am heartbroken to hear about Oliver. Losing a pet is never easy, especially when it happens so suddenly. Even though he was with you for only 2 1/2 years, I know he felt loved and safe in your care. The bond you shared with him was something truly special, and I’m sure he appreciated every moment of it. It’s clear how much joy he brought to your life, and I hope you can find comfort in knowing that you gave him a home full of love, warmth, and kindness. Please remember to be gentle with yourself during this difficult time. It’s okay to grieve, and it’s okay to miss him. We will be together again with our beloved pets one day. Until then, we will take on the responsibility of caring for new furry souls in need of love and ca home. Thinking of you. -Diane

Linda, our golden retriever died of a stroke as well. The suddenness made her passing even worse, but I believe our girl knew how much harder it would be for us if we had to make the decision for her so she sparred us that pain. Even after several years have gone by I still miss her everyday. -

💔Ouch. It hurts like nothing else can, losing a beloved friend like Darla💔I am so very sorry for your pain, Janet. I am also happy for the years of love and fun you and Darla shared, and hope that you can bring forth some of those good memories, and find some comfort knowing Darla had her best life with you. It is a tough reality that our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough (forever wouldn’t be long enough). Please share more with us about Darla, your life together, and how you are coming along. {{BIG HUGS}} Toni -

My 17 year-old tuxedo girl, Darla, passed away 17 days ago from chronic kidney disease. I’ve been beyond devastated. She was my delight for 17 years.
