Oh Sydney…not Bart? Oh, I am so very sorry. I remember you said goodbye to Taffy almost four years ago now, and I guess Bart was one of your “senior” pup companions, over 12, and I am so so sorry, Sydney. My Dawg, what a face :-). How handsome was he! You are so kind to share so much with so many, Sydney. And thank you for sharing with us. It’s only been a few days and your pain and tears are surely flowing, so know we are here for you, with our support, understanding and Hugs. 🙁 ……-
Thank you so much..

Ohhhh….Dreama, Scrappy is too cute and you are so nice to give him ‘wheels’ when he needed them. You have brought a few tears to my eyes, and touched us all… If there’s a problem with pets it’s that they are only on loan to us and we have to say goodbye… BUT-what love and joy we got, and gave with them. Thank you for sharing this sweet picture, your feelings, and being with our community that cares so much. I am, and will be, thinking of you. Hugs. Hugs. Hugs. Toni -

@orsira Michael, Hello, and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets and your lives together, and we love to see pictures, too!

My house is currently a zoo! We have two eclectus (a male and a female), two green cheek conjures, a cat (an orange tabby female who’s the sweetest cat ever), two dogs (a chihuahua and a havanese), and a guinea pig. The eclectus are definitely the most work as they need a lot of care attention but it’s worth it as they are very smart and caring. I have special attachment with the green cheeks as they view me as a part of their flock. They think my name is cheekie and will start hollering for me if I wake up too late or they want my attention.

Congratulations, Michael! You made me research Eclectus and Green Cheek Conjures – two types of bird of which I had not heard. Wow, are they pretty, and I know how birds can be – very “chatty” :-). Thank you so much for sharing your family (zoo) with us, and you can bet we’d love to see pictures of each and all.
-
Wow you really do have a zoo! Good luck!

This is Scrappy in his wagon with his blanket from Blessing Blankets. The last few months of his life he wasn\’t able to walk but a few steps then he had to lay down so I would load him up in his wagon and take him on the walks we use to have, he loved it! I sure miss him.-

I am so sorry for your loss of yourhandsome boy Bart. It is so hard to see them go, it’s an ache in your heart that feels like it will be forever. I pray God helps to ease that ache and you can celebrate your time together.-
Thank you..

Dear Gerilyn, you must still be very sad, it hasn’t been very long, and who knows when those tricky triggers like seeing a favorite food or toy will bring you to your knees. Ah yes, the guilt and personal reprimands for “failing” our beloveds – that’s understandable, yet you know the angst and deliberation that went into making the decision to let Faith pass in peace was solely for her benefit, and for which I know she was grateful to you. That is truly a selfless, generous, caring and loving decision, and saying goodbye in the comfort of home with her loved ones was all with her best interest in your heart. Please, HOW did you ‘fail’ Faith? It seems you extended the ultimate gift – anything but a ‘fail’. I hope you will allow yourself the same kindness you showed her. We certainly do. We DO have special bonds with the pets, and people, in our lives. In her book, Griffin’s Heart, Reagan talks about her special bond with Griffin even while she had, and continues to have other loving pets she adores. I’ve had special bonds with different pets over my life, too. Bringing a new pet into your home won’t diminish what you had with Faith, nor will it replace your special bond. But, it does give you and the new pet a chance to form your own relationship. You’ll know if and when the time is right for that. It may be just the thing to cheer up your other pup, and can’t help but brighten your days, too. Gerilyn, you are a kind person and I hope you allow yourself to grieve, and enjoy the wonderful memories you and Faith created. We’re here for you and I hope we hear from you again soon. Sending you big HUGS….. -

Hi Dianne,
I’m happy to hear that your mama cat is doing a little better. For clarification, Waggle only pays the Veterinarian directly. No funds are sent to pet owners. We do this so that our donors know exactly where their money is going, and there is no risk of fraud. If your Veterinarian is able to give you an estimate over the phone for what the costs may be like to have your cat seen, Waggle can help you raise the money prior to the veterinary visit. Please visit Waggle.org/signup for more information.
Good luck!!! -

Hi Toni. Yes, that is Faith you see. Thanks for the compliment. Although I cannot take credit for Faith’s beauty .. she always received compliments. Her breeder held onto to her a little longer, hoping to show Faith but Faith was not interested in beauty pageants lol.
It will be four weeks tomorrow that she passed and I have regrets and feel guilty about having her euthanized. She would have still been here hadn’t I made the call. It seems everything reminds me of her. I can still smell the top of her warm furry head. I fall asleep with tears looking at her picture. Faith was euthanized at home and so the place she took her last breath is a constant reminder. I quietly tear up at the supermarket when I see her favorite snacks .. both dog and human. She loved Honey Nut Cheerios .. our nightly shared snack and a shared English muffin in the morning.
I have a Lab and I feel bad for him. I know he misses her too.
I’ve had several dogs that I loved that passed and I cried and was very sad but nothing like I’m going through with Faith. She was my favorite .. we had a different bond.
I’m thinking about getting a puppy (same breed) but I have mixed emotions. I feel like I don’t deserve to care for another because I failed Faith.
Thanks for listening and for your concern .. Gerilyn-

Beverly, I am very sorry and it’s good you are sharing this because yesterday I thought how my anticipation of my old girl’s passing weighs on me each day. I’m trying not to let it dampen the happy times we are sharing, but she’s 17 1/2 (yesterday in fact) with many health challenges. Knowing Keeshaa is failing hurts you every moment and you should be “down” and sad and hurting. Is she suffering or still feeling sort of okay? How old is she? How long have you been together? Please know we are here for you, understand, and care. Hugs to you and Keeshaa. I’ll be thinking of you both…… -

Alice, it hasn’t been very long for you to grieve, and the traumatic little life Chewy had makes it even more heartbreaking. But what a wonderful thing for you all to have had the loving time you did. As a Foster Flunky myself, I know that when we fall, we fall hard. The pain of parting is strong, and so is ‘the force’ of loving memories. I hope you find smiles before tears with her memories soon. Thank you for fostering and caring. Sending you a HUG. -

So I am not going to have my mama cat put to sleep.I am going to see what is wrong with her.She is eating and that is better than before.Yes she’s 13 years old, and looks thin, but maybe there is something that can be fixed.If not,then if there isn’t any options,then I will do what I can on the advice of the vet.
-
Dianne, How are you two doing? I find, if I hold her plate and tilt it, especially so she gets the juices, she eats more. Please let us know what’s going on. Thinking of you…..
