    My sweet Boy Bowser left us February 15. He was my lifeline. I personally trained him to be my PTSD Dog. He would lay on my chest when I would have a PTSD attack, by doing this it would force me to slow down my breathing. My precious sweet boy saved me sooo many times. I just picked his ashes up yesterday, I\’m so incredibly broken 😭💔 it\’s not fair! I want my boy back.
    • Joeyel, I am so sorry💔It does feel unfair that our babies can’t be with us forever, and it’s so painful when we have to say goodbye💔Every living thing will die, every leaf will fall from the tree, and while we acknowledge this in our minds, it’s our hearts that shatter. I hope that you can bring forth memories of the good times you and Boy Bowser were so lucky to share and that you can find some comfort there. Our group of kind, understanding friends meets online tonight at 7 Eastern and I encourage you to join us to talk about Bowser. The link is under the “Events” tab. I hope to see you then, and am sending you my deep sympathy. Toni

      My sweet, loving Tenne, was a rescue who spent her entire life outside for 11 years. But one morning at 4 am we heard her meowing at the patio door. Saidhi Tenne, want to come in? She immediately ran up the steps, she was home! We had her for 5 more years. Sadly, she passed 3 years ago, and we miss her so much. She was my sleep partner, I miss her cuddling and purring every day.💔😔

      • Oh what a wonderful surprise you had! And how lovely that Tenne had a long, loving life with you. When my BG died, I slept with a stuffed toy under my chin (she used to sleep there) to help me get through the emptiness. Perhaps you can try snuggling with a soft pillow or toy? There is a lot of pain in parting, but what great joys to be remembered. I hope you can look to your memories with Tenne to find some comfort knowing she lived her best life with you. In the three years since your parting, have you opened your home and heart to another? We would love to hear more from you, Carol. Sending you {{HUGS}}. Toni

        My baby was 14.5 years old. I rescued him at 4 weeks and bottle fed him. He slept with me and was spoiled rotten. I miss him so so much. I will absolutely see him again and I hope he will let me know he is still by my side when I need him. He was my baby boy. Thank you so much for reaching out to me.

          My sweet Melody passed 2-19-25.
          • 💔💔I am so sorry, Jennifer. Oh my, your pain must be intense right now. Was Melody unwell for awhile? Are you up to sharing more about her? If you can join our online meeting (Zoom) tonight at 7 Eastern, I think it will help you to be amongst understanding, supportive friends. I undertsand if you are still to “raw”, and encourage you to tell us more about Melody, and how you are doing, when you are ready. With my sincere sympathy, Toni

                      Jeanette, what a touching, heartfelt tribute to your very special Kane💔How very special that you were with him from beginning to end. It is a terrible shame that our pets are only on loan to us and we grieve their passing with a pain unlike any other. But, we can also remember the many wonderful times we were lucky to share, and be grateful for those, as I think Kane would be – do you? Perhaps you can write a note to Kane, and from Kane to you, sharing memories of the fun, funny, loving life you shared, and find some joy in those. Jeanette, I hope you will join us this Thursday in our group meeting. You will meet kind friends and I think find some comfort. Toni

                        Patti, I am so sorry💔Walter (15) had a fast growing malignant mass on his intestines and I said goodbye to him knowing he would only suffer if he lingered. The pain of parting is brutal for us, but I hope you find some comfort knowing Jakee is not suffering and is at peace. How old was Jakee? How did you meet? How long were you together? Please join us on our group meeting this week on Thursday, the 20th, at 7PM Eastern to talk about Jakee with our kind, understanding friends. We’re here for you. Toni

                                      Thankfully, I have an amazing husband who is the best support system I could ask for. Echo was our adventure pup. She loved being out in the woods and exploring new places. Sunday was always Echo day and we’d find different trails and parks to take her to. She was super sweet and loved every person and animal she came across. We found out in November that she had lymphoma. We tried chemo and her remission lasted 6 weeks. When we noticed her breathing change we decided to not let it progress any further. The thought of her suffering terrified me. Heaven at Home came out and she was able to cross over peacefully on her bed. The kitty was actually Echo’s best buddy, Bandit. He was a wild kitten that broke into our house. He instantly made friends with Echo and eventually warmed up to us. He’s been really sad since she’s been gone. He was right there with us when the vet was here. With the final shot his tail poofed up and he rubbed up against her a few times then left. I think he understands what happened in a way. He’s been snuggling with us some at night but spends most of his time sleeping on her bed like he always did. I would love to join a meeting but it won’t be this one. The 20th is my mom’s birthday and we’re going to spend the evening with my dad so he’s not alone. Thank you again for your kind words. ❤️

As someone who has lost so many and opened your home and heart again, you bring comfort to our community. How are Renzo and Rowan? We’d love to see some recent pictures of them now. Still adorable I suspect😎I am always delighted to hear from you, Randy, and send you and yours my very best wishes. Toni

                                          Christina, that is so hard, and I am so sorry. You endured Lucifer failing and I think that is just heartwrenching – seeing our darlings decline💔For me, when they find peace and releif from their suffering, it is a good thing for them. However, coming home to a house without our sweetheart is simply devastating. The pain of loss hits hard and deep. I hope that you will bring forth thoughts and memories of the many wonderful times you and Lucifer enjoyed, and that you find some comfort in knowing he had his best life with you, and is now out of pain. Please join our kind group Thursday February 20th to talk about Lucifer and your lives together. Toni

                                            Deborah, I am so sorry. 💔I understand. My Prince was also 16 when we took him to the vet one night, and the next morning the vet called and told us that Prince had passed away. It is a terrible thing, losing our babies, but I think Daisy and Prince were at the time for them to go. I hope you can find some comfort thinking of the many good years of health Daisy enjoyed, and the fun, funny times you shared. Again, I am so osrry. Toni

                                              Daisy went to the vet for 2 tumors to be removed. The vet called and said Daisy had died during surgery. Not 30 minutes later he called back and said one of the girls saw the bag they had placed her in moving. We picked her up and brought her home and she was going outside to potty and eating and drinking then Friday she was acting like she was blind she stayed in hospital and passed away before they came in on Monday morning. We are so sad. She was 16 years old and the best dog ever

                                                Hi everyone. It’s been a while since I got to log on & read all the stories about the wonderful animals who have touched & enriched our lives. So sorry to all who have lost a pet – heartbreaking, I know. Just gotta find strength in the good memories & when you’re ready – save the life of another & make another best friend. Stay strong people & stay warm too. Weatherman says deep freeze coming next week for many of us. Snuggle your furry friends!
