Elizabeth, sorry for the tardy reply but it seems my internet wasn’t working right. Naddily Grace was such a tiny girl, I can see how being stepped on would injure her. What a shame. I am so sorry, Elizabeth. You shared a long, lovely time together, and you surely have a hole in your heart for her. But, how generous and kind, and loving, of you to welcome a new love and joy into your home and heart. Naddily Grace will be very pleased for you both. Thank you for sharing with us, Elizabeth. Please share more stories about Naddily Grace, and your new pup. And let us know how you are doing. We love to share. Toni -

My Naddily Grace was a faithful friend and loving companion for over 16 years.She was by my side through a lot in that time..We stood by each other through thick and thin.We helped get each other through things.She passed on Sept.8th 2020 after month long issues from being stepped on accidently by a child.I have since gotten another pup.But she is still forever missed and deeply loved-

You are such a nice pet person, Tim. A new pet doesn’t replace any other, but brings its own personality, quirks, joys and love. We are grateful for your sharing with us and always look forward to hearing more from you, and please …. pictures of Libby!! And, Jolie, of course 🙂 Toni

ANYTIME Toni!!
Also for the community, dont wait too long to find another furfriend!! The wait in between Jolie & Libby was hard on us because it felt lonely. Grieve is necessary BUT your passing animal would not want you to grieve long. We have TOO MUCH love to give a fur friend!!! We waited almost five months before getting another little one! And we would not have waited that long if Libby came to us sooner!! -

Dana, thank YOU for sharing your inspiring stories. And your loving spirit :-). Little Grunt-Grunt is very lucky to have such care. I understand how sad and heartbreaking it is to see them fail – my 17 year old is on lots of meds and yesterday I noticed her walk is off a bit, so I’m scheduling yet another doctor appointment. It’s hard, especially because they don’t complain. And you are right about taking the pain in exchange for the love and joys. We know going in that one day we’ll have to part, that they are only “on loan” to us. Keep us updated on how you and Grunt-Grunt are doing. Hugs -

Yes, if I had the choice of skipping my babies, as well as the pain of loosing them, or to have both my babies and the inevitable grief and pain, I’ll take the joy and the pain. I’ve taken to taking Grunt-Grunt outside at about 500-530am and we stay out for about an hour or so. This is our time now, and in the late evening because we live in the desert and it’s already over 100° during the day. My fiance built her a little bed frame with a shade over it and I made the mattress for it so she has a soft comfortable place to lay when we’re outside. She loves it. Next week we are putting in a 4’x4′ patch of grass for the Grunt-Grunt too. This way when she has to potty when it’s hot out she can use the grass and not burn her little feet. She isn’t fond of her booties. Spent the weekend looking up patterns for doggy wheelchairs. Got a couple of ideas, even found the most expensive part, for free. The wheels I found on an oxygen tote. Excited I found them, but saddened too. Her breathing still isn’t quite right, maybe I’m just worrying too much. Bear was taken from me suddenly. Took him in to check something out, and I got a call from the vet, they had just put down the most incredible soul I’d ever met. And I didn’t get to be there. I was there for his first breath and every breath after that, except his last one. I was working, and didn’t think they would put him down without me there. 5 yrs and I still go to pieces thinking about that. Ladiebug, we had to choose her pass over day. One of the hardest days. I’m trying to prepare for Grunt-Grunt, including saving money up so that when the time comes, hopefully I’ll have the money and that will be one less thing for me to stress over.. thank you for the beautiful words and the support. They are appreciated more than you know. I have only my fiance here, no friends to speak of. This makes venues like this so amazing, and people like you so wonderful.-

Hmmmph. Seven seems awfully young to be a “senior”, doesn’t it? You’re obviously doing things right to have so many over twelve. Good for you, great for them. Thanks for sharing with us. -

Maria-Catharina, Thank you for sharing your darling Hansi with us. Yep, you are right acknowledging it was best for him to peacefully pass, but darn it’s so, so hard to say goodbye. I am so sorry. His face is so sweet, and his personality really comes through. But, you wouldn’t want him to endure suffering, and he wants you to enjoy your life knowing he was, and is, an important part of your happiness. Please let us know how you are doing. Hugs…. -

Oh my – three more dogs! That’s lovely. By “senior”, what does that mean? My vets call cats over seven “senior” and frankly, I object :-)…. maybe ten or so, but seven? What is considered senior for dogs?-

Kerry, it’s good to hear from you. And it’s good your grandkids were with you to share memories of Oscar, even though it hurts. I find looking at pictures can really bring out emotions, happy and sad, and I am glad you have the ‘kids with you to do that. And I know what you mean about a “grief like this” – it’s different from others. We’re here for you and want to hear from you, Kerry. Here is a Hug 🙂 -

Oh Megan, Bubba is tooooo cute. He stands like a show dog. How wonderful for you both to find each other. I am so happy for you! You have been through so many losses and I hope you and Bubba find great joy and happiness to help heal and move forward. Please share some more pictures – he’s just adorable 🙂 -

Dianne, yes, of course you will. Birthdays and anniversaries always stir up our thoughts and memories more than usual. Last night a human friend of mine died at 36 and, while it doesn’t help when I think of my old (17 year old) cat failing, it DOES give me perspective on the life cycle, how none of us know how much time we get, and to embrace life and joy while we can. Bessie most definitely loved, and loves you, too, and wants you to keep her always in your heart while you allow yourself happiness in her memory. Let us know how you are doing, Dianne. -

I think that’s a nice thing to be doing – just remembering Taffy. Oh my goodness – what a smile :-). Sydney, thank you for sharing this. How old was Taffy? How did you meet? How long were you together? Do you have pets now?-

I’m just sitting here remembering my baby, Taffy. It’s been 3 and a half years since he had gone over the rainbow bridge-

Hello everyone I know it\’s been a while since I\’ve been on here..but I wanted everyone to meet my new doggie his name is Bubba. A woman needed to rehome him so I took him in he is 3 yrs old and potty trained and just a good boy. I\’ve had him now about three wks. Him and my cat are getting along as well. He is no Conan..far from my buddy before him which I new it would be different..cause he sure weights more than 5 pounds..lol beside that I still think of my little buddy every day I have a little shrine going on with his picture and another kitty I took care of till last yr as well. So..still just taking it one day at a time my therapist told me to start looking for a doggie and I did. He is very happy with me he told me I\’m coming right along. Makes me feel good since my depression was really bad just not from my animals but also losing my dad and stepdad last yr. So Bubba is making sure I get up and out the the door every day..no more sitting in my bedroom sleeping all day. So I wanted to share my news. Bubba is have Chihuahua and half Pekingese. And he has a really cute face..he is just a cutie. Well…to everyone u will be in my thoughts and prayers.i know it\’s not easy losing a fur baby..had to put my buddy down on Feb 2 this yr. Cause he suffered from Sezeiers really bad. But I know one day we will see each other again at the rainbow bridge. Till then..momma loves ya Conan!-

Pet owners, cc. Toni,
Thank you for the warm welcome and Pet Memorials on this platform. Yes, losing a pet is a very tough situation. We think never having experienced a pet is a tougher situation and yes, hard to explain for those non-pet owners. It\’s that pet-human bond that is amazing. Keep up the great work in helping pets and their owners through your products and services.
Hug your pet today.
Rob
