    Elizabeth, at the bottom of this page is a tab “Giving Back”. Click that and the last entry is Waggle.org. Click that to get to their website. They may be able to help pay for veterinary services for Shadow. Let me know if you need help with that. And let us know what you find out from them. I am sure Shadow knows and is caring for you with her love. I am very sorry for your troubles and hope we can help.
      • Thank you for reaching out and for the recommendationI was unable to find anywhere on their website that I could get help. Of course I have chemo brain and perhaps missed it. But I was pretty thorough looking

        Hanging in there! missing my Daisy taking one day at a time

      • KATHY posted an update 5 years, 7 months ago

        WELL NOT SO GOOD TO DAY IS 8 MONTHS WITH OUT MY BABY BOY DALE SO ALL I CAN DO IS THINK ABOUT DALE AND I KEEP HAVING WONDERFUL DREAMS ABOUT DALE AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE NOT REAL

        • Kathy, I am pretty sure that, when we say their spirit lives on with us, dreams are a part of that. We think of and miss them when we’re awake, so why not while we sleep….Grief is a process of pain and joy. There is no right or wrong way to heal. Keeping Dale in your thoughts, awake or sleeping, is part of this process. It sure can hurt though. We’re here for you to share your pains, and when you have joyful memories, those too. Keep us with you. Sending HUGS…..

          I’m doing alright just missing my Snowball so much

          • I was looking at pictures of the pets with whom I grew up and even after decades have passed, I got choked up, so we all understand how memories are the enduring gift of loving, and some tears come along with them. Do you have a picture, or pictures, of Snowball we can see? Will you adopt a new furry friend? Keep us updated, please. Thinking of you.
            • I do have pictures of her but I’m not sure how to post it
            • I am in the the process of moving at the end of April.It will be one year on April 16th since my beloved,best friend Bessie went to the Bridge.I wish she was coming with me,but her ashes will be and I know she is going to be my traveling companion in spirit.

              • I am so glad you wrote this, Dianne, because Kathy is dreaming about her beloved Dale, and I think that may be another way their spirit stays with us. Perhaps you can share some of your comforting words with her.
                  • If she sees her beloved Dale in her dreams,that is him letting her know he is okay and he loves and misses her.I am no medium or anything like that.I have been seeing spirits since the age of 15.But now I am starting to ser animal spirits.
                    When a pet visits they stay long enough to make sure their favorite person is okay and then they go back home.
                      • Hi Dianne. I don’t want to open wounds, but yesterday was one year for your parting from Bessie and I am thinking of you. I know you are bust getting ready to move, and hopefully that is occupying your time and thoughts. Please, let us know how you are doing. Since you have Bessie’s remains, you might like to check out our Forever in Glass hand-blown pieces. They are a lovely way to keep her with you. With my warmest wishes, Toni.

                    Shadow and I are ok. My cancer and other health issues have left me penniless. Can\’t get my meds or take Shadow to vet for check up and all shots. And she definitely senses I\’m not well. Doesn\’t let me out of her sight. I think we rescued each other!

                        My heart,🙏and tears are with all who have lost their beloved fur babies. May they always be in your heart and now playing peacefully with one another. 🤗

                        My husband and I are doing well. It\’s always nice to remember them and the memories they gave us. Co\’mear was a Min-Pin Chihuahua. We rescued from an abusive man. We named her Co\’mear (Pronounced Come Here!) because that\’s what she came too! She loved my husband Sam which we thought was odd after being badly abused by a man. She had the best life to live 14 of the best years! She even got to live on Maui, Hawaii with us!
                        Precious was my beautiful AKC Registered Pomeranian. Sam\’s mother passed away and it\’s was her wish that we care for her.
                        She named her Precious because everyone would say to her; \”Aren\’t you Precious!\”
                        Aloha!

                        Oh gawd, Arlene. I am so very sorry and really understand the emptiness at the end of your bed. Mine sleeps on my chest and is old, ailing, and I dread the day( or night) she isn’t there. Like you, I don’t have a lot of pictures but that doesn’t matter at all – we have the memories of the loves and life we shared. Arlene, please let us know when you find smiles before your tears. And, if and when you are ready, extend your understanding and sympathy to others in our community.

                          Valerie, Thank You for saying what I have been thinking, and didn’t know how to say it. Yes, the pain of losing a parent or human friend is devastating, but the death of a beloved pet is more than brutal – it is almost a loss at the cellular level. My mother died of ALS which is one of the cruelest diseases. When she passed it was a relief and release for her, and I miss her to this day, and will every day. But, that is the natural progression – our elders are supposed to proceed us. With our pets, even though we know intellectually, they are only on loan to us, they are always our babies and saying goodbye is never a “good” bye…it is a heart break. I truly get it, as do all of us here in the community. I have tears for you and really hope you will stay with us with your honest and sincere feelings. It is why we are here. We understand and embrace you. I am sending you a HUG. Toni

                            I bought this chair not knowing patch was going to claim it 😂 I can\’t sit there it will always be hers.
                          • Valerie posted an update 5 years, 7 months ago

                            Hi. I\’m really having a terrible time with this loss. Sounds terrible but I never felt this much pain when I lost my mom or other family. I know it just doesn\’t make sense to most people. I rescued patches mommy not knowing she was pregnant at 7 months old 😳. We did it though they were all great pups and got them all great forever homes. I just couldn\’t let patch go cause so many health problems. She was born dead and the battle insured. I wouldn\’t change one thing. The little girl was a fighter and I wasn\’t giving up either! She died 3 more x and vet said the 4th she wouldn\’t make it. We did 2 more years but then it was time to let her be at peace. Made it almost 10 years but I felt like I was giving up on her and killing her. My head knows better but my heart 💔

                              • I know how you feel I just lost my little girl Mindy last month and it still hurts really bad I had her cremated so she would be with me always so my heart goes out to you I’m sending hugs your way they always leave paw prints on our hearts
                                  • Ty and I’m so sorry your baby crossed bridge 😭 hopefully ours and so many others playing happily together 🦋💞. I got to find peace somehow. My eyes are basically swollen shut fro being such a baby!
                                      • My eyes are swollen a lot to my friend I have to find peace to but its hard right now I am going to rescue a little dog again because I know my little Mindy would want me to give love to another like I did her when I’m ready I will
                                          • Patchy was not only the love of my love life shew was a registered ESA. She got the same in return. How old was your baby? Can you send me pic? I hope you get to the point you’ll rescue another fur baby in remembrance of your Mindy 💞 I’m looking but not to replace. Never ever happen but maybe fill the void a little.
                                              • I just don’t believe in breeders when so many need homes. Even at that I get totally disgusted because the $ seems so much more important than a forever loving home. Plus I’ve been judged because I live in an efficiency rather than a mansion. What the hell has that got to do with love, please 😱
                                                • Dear Valerie. So many things you bring up: Loving does not have anything to do with environment or life style. It’s the size of the heart, not the house, that matters. Adopting is always a lovely, caring thing to do. Everyone has a purpose. Each animal is a special love, never meant to “replace” another. It’s hard to re-open your heart and home after the devastating pain of losing a beloved pet, but you are very generous to re-open yours to a new love. It is generous, thoughtful and kind of you to extend your sympathy and encouragement to others in our community who are also hurting – it’s why we are here – to support one another with kindness and understanding. Thank you for your sharing, and caring. Let us know if you adopt a new love, and let us know how you are doing.

                                          She was 14 years old. I don’t have any pictures of her. She would always lay at my feet on the bed, it seems so empty now without her there

                                              Arlene, I am so sorry. That must have been a shock. Poor Jada. There wasn’t much you could do, and helping ease her way was the most loving, generous thing for you to give her. How old was she? May we see some pictures? How are you coming through this?
