    Missing my pets, Stoney and my sons guinea pig Steven

    • Valarie, I am so sorry. What happened to each of them? What type of pets did you have? How is your son doing since he said goodbye to Steven?
        • We all miss Stoney Girl a lot. Idk what breed she was , we found her outside our door. And funny thing about the guinea pig Steven, he was my daughters but she didn’t take care of him so her older brother who was 20 at the time took over and spoiled Steven like crazy. I truly believe Steven waited for my son to get home from work to take his last breath in his arms. It was very sad. A year later my son passed away in a car accident. He was the biggest pet lover.
            • Oh Valarie…my goodness, I can’t imagine your grief, and hope you and your family are healing, finding comfort and that your memories of Stoney Girl, Steven and your son bring you more joy than sorrow. Valarie, will you please stay in touch with us? We’re thinking of you and sending you and your family our best wishes, and love. Toni

          Oh how awful, Beth. I am glad you have Sabrina and Libby, and wonder how they are doing with this? You extended the absolutely most loving and kind act you could by giving Harvey relief, and release, at the expense of your feelings ..and yes, this is the most distressing era for the world in a century, which doesn’t help…doggone it, Beth, I am just so sad and sorry about Harvey…. But I am glad you have Sabrina and Libby, and now – US! We are a caring community of pet and animal lovers, and we “get it”, and I am glad you are a part of us. Sending you a HUG… Toni

            Thank you so much Toni. Yes they are great kitties but the one who sticks in my mind is Duffy he was a wild cat that I picked up in California who also rode in a car from California to Utah. He was so scared he peed on himself anyway he also had medicak problems he would get diareeh and poop all over himself but he was a lover.
              • It has to be scary for any animal to be in a moving vehicle, leaving even a bad home, and going to a new place, but you are great to make all of your friends feel comfortable, give them a loving home, and all while you are in pain. Thank you for sharing these touching, inspiring, stories. I hope you continue to, and if you like, perhaps you can lend your sympathy to others in our community who are hurting. Here’s a HUG for you…Toni

                Sherry, I am so sorry, we all are. Being in a puddle of tears on the floor that seems will never end? Yes, we understand. Will you tell us more about him, please? It’s good to let it all out, and we really are here to catch you ….My most sincere, and heartfelt sympathy is with you, Sherry.

                  Angela, keep writing your heartfelt, moving sentiments…it expresses the depth of your pain, but also your Love. I hope at some point the years of love and joy exceed the pain of parting.. Your words are touching, your pain is within them, so please keep pouring them out with us, and when you can, share your healing. With much sympathy, Toni

                    Dear, dear Donna.. What a lovely, loving person you are to take in these kitties while you are suffering your own challenges. I think that is so loving and kind and generous of you. Obviously you know how to care for your faithful friends – 22 years is a long, nice life for a kitty. My oldest was 19. Please, Donna, share more of your stories with us, and do let our community know how we may be comforting.. Toni

                          Oh dear, and Yes, Ruby’s furry friend is hurting, too. This is the tough part of sharing loving lives with our Faithful Friends who are only “on loan” to us, isn’t it? We know, intellectually, going in, when we bring them into out hearts and homes, that one day, we will have to part…But man – it hurts…a lot….But Andrea, were the years of Love, Joy, Sharing and Caring worth it? I suspect so ..and I expect that one day your smiles of memories will precede your tears . I hope so, and hope that you will continue to share your feelings – sad, happy – with us – and when you feel up to it, pictures and stories about your Boston Terrior. Name? Gender? Anything you would like to celebrate.. We’re here to support you, comfort you if we can, and share your sorrows and joys. Thank you for being a caring part of our community, Andrea. Here is a big HUG… Toni
                            • Andrea, How are you doing this weekend? I am thinking of you and suspect it’s still hurting a lot. How is your Boston Terrier doing? I am sorry I don’t know the name…please let us know how you are all doing…Hugs

                              He was 11:and going to turn 12 June 30th. He stopped eating and blood work didn’t show a problem. Vet tried an anti nausea meds and appetite stimulator. He just got worse. He had lost alot of weight. They couldn’t tell me why ,so I had an appointment to get x-ray but you could bsee he was dying and that it was time to lethim go. I think I am having such a problem w it bc it happened so fast. Only 3 weeks ago he was fine. Also why did it have to happen during covid? I am sick of this pandemic and the masks. It is ball just too much. It is the first pet I have had to put down all alone. The good thing is I still have 2 other kitties at home. He has an older sister kitty named Sabrina and a younger kitty sister named Libby. I don’t know how I could survive this if he was my only cat.

                                                  Yes Hobbes was named after Calvin and Hobbes sorry I didn’t see this sooner.

                                                • Donna posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

                                                  Hobbes was purchased at a Feed Store and he had alot of medical problems and he got to ride in a car to Utah from California because I was divorcing my first husband. Hobbes was a loving kitty and he helped me alot after my second husband died. Tipper was living in a Apartment where my second husband lived and he came in my car when I called him see the people who he was living with tried to cut out the microchip and sewed it up with thread his original name was Killer and he was no Killer but they were also injecting him with drugs. He lived to be 22. I have Fibromyalgia and my back hurts at night.
