Remember 5 years, 7 months agoWell, since Jolie went to rainbow bridge(July 22, 2020) it was extremely lonely around here. My wife thinks I may have been suffering depression since our girl passed on. I have been retired since 2012. And Jolie has been our companion since that time. We rescued her from my brother in law who thought that his cigarettes and booze was more important than Jolie\’s health and well-being. When he went into NYC housing he was not allowed to bring Jolie. So we took ownership. We had to lay out over $3k in dental and shots and health. The vet said that had we not taken ownership Jolie would have certainly died within months!! Jolie was my constant companion and we had fun. Kidney and liver problems began their attack a year before they took her. I could see her health dwindling and when it came time to let her go I COULD NOT. I probably caused her suffering. I WAS SELFISH!! I couldnt let her go. But a week before we put her down it became obvious that we had to put her down(My eyes are still welling up even now!!! We say goodnight to her every single night since she passed.
BUT HAPPINESS FOUND US ON DECMBER 9, 2020!!! A breeder friend had an 8 year old schnauzer that she was giving away free. She thought of us and brought LIBBY(a mini schnauzer) by and we took ownership of LIBBY. She was an AKC champion for many years and had many pups that became champions. She has taken to us and we have taken to her. She just recently started sleeping in our bed. she has the cutest and funny bark-heave-bark. She wont take place of Jolie but she has become a loving family member. A JOY TO HAVE AROUND and keep me company!!!
I do not have any of Libby\’s pics on my office computer. I probably have 1000s on my phone. I will send one when I transfer them here.
BUT THANK GOD for Libby!!!! Jolie sent a beautiful pet to replace her in our home!!!-
I am SO happy for you and Libby. You are the opposite of selfish – you keep your heart and home open for new life and love. There is never an easy way or time to say goodbye and you did your loving best for Jolie. My old girl (cat) has been living with a progressive inflammatory disease, has high blood pressure and hyper-thyroidism. Twice, I thought it was time to part and both times the doctor said no, she has some good time left in her, which she has :-). So I know, and we all know, it can be very difficult to tell when letting them go is truly their time. It’s always a decision made from love. When you get around to sharing pictures of Libby, we love seeing them. Stay in touch and let us know what you and Libby get up to!

Aleshia, How are your parents doing now? And you?-
Thank you so much for asking. I appreciate it. They are doing ok and so am I. It is definately an adjustment and something we will all deal with for a very long time. Both of my daughters also feel really bad as well. Caly was a wonderful part of all of our live and we will always miss her.

It’s been an agonizing 3 weeks since I had to say goodbye to my boy. He was the longest relationship I ever had and I miss him terribly, although I always feel him near. Just taking it day by day😥-

Ty 😊 Casper is a big boob 😂 Patch is happy too I feel it and so does Casper. He’s constantly carrying one of her toys 🤗not his own and he came with plenty! Patch will NEVER be replaced none of them can be. I still cry and miss her so much he’s just helping me deal a little better by sharing more love. -

I hope your birthday was as good as it could be, Susan. It sounds bittersweet. As the monthly dates, then yearly ones go by, we are reminded again of the great love and joy we shared. It’s good you and your kitty are together. Let us know how you both are doing. -

Oh Valerie 🙂 What a nice thing you have done. What is his name? He’s gorgeous. And yes, big! Patch owns her place in your heart and always will – other loves don’t displace that. But how big-hearted you are to make room for another love. Thank you for sharing. You must keep us posted on how you are, and your adventures with the new pup!-

Lori, you are so kind to keep Snowball with us. Did you figure out how to share pictures with us? There is a camera icon on the bottom left of the sign in box and you can upload through there. Email me if you still can’t do it. I’d love to see pictures and hear more stories. HUGS -

I am definitely thinking of them and poor little Caly. This is a trip no one wants to make, and while intellectually we know it is the kindest, most loving thing for Caly, it is emotionally devastating. They are very lucky to have you be such a supportive, caring child. Please share our sympathies, and let us know how they are doing, Aleshia.-

Please say a prayer for my parents. They are on their way to the vets office. They are having their cat Caly put to sleep. She has diabeties and they found a cancerous tumor. She quit eating. My parents didnt want her to suffer. Thank you.

Hi. Checking in with everyone. It\’s been tough and 💔for all of us 🙏 not a lot of people really get it, but I sure do! Patch will be in my heart forever. I\’ve rescued another fur baby and cried wishing they could have been best buds 😪 Patch always loved bigger friends 😁 so this really felt right in memory of Patch. He\’s beautiful with such a gentle soul like my little girl.-

Hi Jill. It’s been four months today since you and Miss Kitty parted – isn’t it? I’ve been thinking of you and hoping you are doing a bit better with her memories, and those of Gizmo? Please let us know. Toni -

Karen, You are so right to go straight through the memory and pain, to reach the memories of joy, happiness and the great love you shared. What a gift you gave each other, right? Love is a messy thing – especially with our beloved pets. It’s a deep feeling with extremes of joy and sorrow, but the joys win out over time. Thank you for sharing with us, and please share your special insights on healing with us, Karen. Hugs -
