Sorry not responded sooner been trying to keep busy had the grandchildren last week as it was there half term. They kept me busy and talking about Oscar and looking through photos, never thought I’d feel grief like this, we feel so lost without him his bed and toys are still out and water bowl, we should get his ashes back sometime this week, I’ll just be glad to have him close by,-

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 🙂

Remember 5 years, 5 months agoMy Hansi We lost him Dec 31st, 2020-
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….

My Hans Sebastian. I lost him December 31st of 2020. It was his time. He went to sleep peacefully and left me .
My heart is broken but I must go on. He was suffering greatly die to his back legs had given out and he could not get up anymore to do his business outside. It was extremely hard to lift him even with my lift. And he stopped eating and drinking so I knew it was time.-

Spending a quiet, loving evening with my girl. She likes for me to blow gently, warmly, on her fur, rub her belly, and scratch her fanny. These private, special moments bring a joy from deep within, don\’t they? -

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. “Cost is only an issue in the absence of value” is very apt when it comes to providing a peaceful passing in the comfort of home, with loving family, human and pet. Our friends at Pet Loss at Home can help locate in-home services in many areas around the country and are a valued resource at this most difficult time. Again, thank you for sharing this with the community, Tim.-
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!!

WHO TO CALL WHEN YOUR PET IS HEADED TO RAINBOW BRIDGE
When it was time for Jolie to leave us(JULY 22, 2020) we used IN HOME VETERINARY SERVICE.
Robert & Karli Flanagan 302-893-7872.They set a time to come to our house and send Jolie to Rainbow Bridge. They were professional and sympathetic.
Robert pretty much did the passing on, Karli is the licensed vet(I think).
They gave us as long as we wanted to say goodbye to Jolie. And the procedure took less than 5 minutes.
it was kind of expensive. BUT we didnt want Jolie’s last moments to be in the back room somewhere, among other
final moment pets. I wanted her to be with us, and the last thing she saw was our faces saying goodbye.
They did an excellent service to us and Jolie. She never felt any pain. and IT WAS QUICK!!-

Oh Patty, yes, heartbroken, deep grief and sadness…..May I say that you did the very best for and by MuShu, and you can bet she knew everything you did was for her best, and from love. None of us get to stay in our bodies forever – but they stay in our hearts forever. Gosh, she was a beauty. Those eyes! I am sad and teary knowing she isn’t with you now. But Patty, you are a wonderful “cat mom” and MuShu wamts you to go forth and enjoy the rest of your life, one day perhaps open your home and heart to another love. Thank you for sharing your story and pictures. Please stay an active member of our caring community. Others need your kind words of understanding and support. And, we are here to support YOU as you move through this extremely difficult time. Hugs to you. Toni-

Remember 5 years, 5 months agoMy sweet precious MuShu (14) walked over the Rainbow Bridge on April 14th. My heart is crushed 💔😭 Two years ago she got mammary gland cancer and I opted for surgery hoping it would give her many more years with me but it came back with a vengeance and took her precious life away. My life is forever changed for having that beautiful little girl in my life. She was my child and I will miss her every single day until I see her and my other cat TIGGER in Heaven.-

Thank YOU Lisa for your kind words. I had a dog named Moses. Was your Moses a dog, too? What type of pet was Chester? Please tell us about them and share photos if you like. How are you doing – okay? -

Jill, no one in this community will ever question your pain, nor the length of time it takes to move through it. We have a book to help heal – “Griffin’s Heart” ($27.99). It was written by Reagan J. Pasternak (you may know her from her acting career) and Reagan had a very close love with her cat Griffin. She wrote the book to help herself heal and is making it available to our community. It’s in our Shop if you want to try that. We’ll be releasing a Paw’d Cast with Reagan soon. Jill, stay with us – we are here for you. Here’s a HUG. Toni -

Hi. I’m sorry for not responding earlier but I am trying to keep busy. Which is not helping me. I have people so dumbfounded on why are you (me) so distressed over a cat. I just want to smack everyone who says that I just go hide. I miss her so much 😢😔-

Hello Dana. I am struggling with words for you. Your story is so eloquent, emotional and poignant. Anticipating, preparing for, and experiencing the death of our beloved pet is why we are her for you, Dana. I have no words right now other than these: Grunt-Grunt is cool with with this – it is a part f the life cycle that pets and animals understand and accept better than humans do. Well, some humans do, but mostly, death is a very important part of life and animals know that. The horribly painful part of life is the parting from our loved ones. No one replaces a Grunt-Grunt, or Bear, or Ladiebug…. but boy oh boy, the joy, the fun, the laughs and loves we shared sure make the horrific pain of loss understandable. SO MUCH LOVE is so hard to lose, it hurts so much, and yet, over time, in our own time, the tears are replaced with smiles, and gratitude, and yes, always Love…. Dana dear, let us know what is going on with you…..-
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.-
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

Cherie, Oh my how sweet and sad.,,,,I know exactly what you mean, and I think we all can admit that there are some loves that are deeper, stronger, more “connected” than others with our pets. We love them all, but there are special relationships with our furry friends, just as with our people friends – right? Some with whom we connect and resonate in a different, communicative way. Know what I mean? -

Remember 5 years, 5 months agoThe 10th anniversary is coming up for my Tanner crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I’ve lost other furbabies, but this one knocked me into a severe depression. He crawled into mu lap looked at me with the “I love you mom.”, got comfortable on my lap and took his last breath. I wish I had some pics of him. : (
