@fulyaeren Hi Eren. You are a pet and animal lover, and I am sorry for all the pets you have lost, but am glad for all the love you got to share with them. How are you doing now? Will share your furry and feathered stories and photos with us?

@ginny Oh my..did you just lose Poochie? I am so, so sorry. You must be raw right now. How can we help you? Toni
-
I lost him on the 19th. Nothing anybody can do, but I do appreciate the offer. I know it’s going to hurt for awhile, but time has a way of dulling the pain and I’ll adjust. I’m just glad there are places like this where pets are seen as family and understand the emotional connection that there is.
-
Ginny, you have healed from other losses to have this understanding – haven’t you? I agree, and intellectually, understand, too. It’s the powerful emotional loss through which we must pass on our way to healing that I find hurts so much. Your insights would be very helpful in encouraging and inspiring others, and I hope you will find other community members to whom you can extend your support. If you have other pets, or open your heart and home to another, please also share on out Celebrate side. We are adding resources, useful products to the shop, will be rolling out a Paw’d cast soon, and more, so stay with us, share your kindness, and let us know how you do, and what’s happening with you. I hope the holiday season is okay for you. Toni

Each of them has a personality I can see. I like snakes and worms, and think they get a bad rap sometimes. How big is Diego? Starla is the perfect name for a canary, and Spunky looks to be just that . Thanks for letting us meet them, and keep us updated on them.-
Diego is hard to measure because he likes to curl up lol. We estimate he’s about
4 1/2-5 feet long.-
Wow, that’s impressive. What type of snake id Diego? How old, and how long do they usually live? Now, do all of them get along, or do you separate them? I find this very interesting.
-
He is a corn snake and they live up to 20 years in captivity. I was told he’d stop growing around 6 feet or so but every critter is different. I do keep them all separated although I’d love to get a family photo but it would be too difficult. Especially since Starla is very jumpy and Spunky came to us after being returned by his previous owner. For some reason he doesn’t like to be held and refuses to sit still. I love them all anyway 🥰
-
You make me smile and laugh with your backgrounds and stories, and I really enjoy this. Thank you! I’m not familiar with Corn Snakes, but will now look into them. He’s caught my eye :-). Canaries can be very affectionate and smart, so maybe Starla will come around in time and let you love on her, but I don’t know anything about Chinchilla’s. Do they usually like to be held? It sounds as if you have a lot of patience , obviously a huge capacity for caring, and are having a cheerful, if challenging, time. You simply must send more pictures and keep us in the loop with them all! If you get some holiday pics, please, share them. And have a fun, furry, feathery holiday!

Yo’ Vinny :-). He’ s sooo handsome, and do I detect a ‘catitude there 😕 I like a cat who gets into the holidays. Very patient and tolerant of them, do you think? He looks very much like my cat – I call her Cat (and Beauty Girl). She is black with a tiny bit of white under her chin. She loves paper and plastic, so the holidays are purrrfect for her. She’s probably too old for Vinny though – she’ll be 17 in March! -

Wow – how wonderful – you have a house full of love, and in so many fabulous critters. You really must send us pictures of them. If you want, send them in our Celebrate page, but here is fine.
These doggone holidays, huh? Memories come back and while it’s hard, it can also bring really good memories, which is what I hope for you. Toni -

Hello Kay. Is that Sonic? i can see why and how you miss him … his eyes are so sweet, and he is just precious. So shiny. It’s hard, isn’t it? Especially at the holidays. I am so sorry for your loss, and hope you have more smiles than tears when you think of dear Sonic. I hope you will stay involved with our community and lend your sympathetic words to others who are similarly missing their beloved pets. Please have as good a holiday as possible, stay safe, and stay in touch. Toni-
Thank you, Toni for your kind words. Even after he passed we would hear him and I also captured an orb where he use to lay by the front door. He was just a wonderful smart Cocker Spaniel. The only problem with dogs is they don’t live long enough. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.💜💜💜

That’s so sweet, Vanessa. Whatever the form pet love comes in, it’s so wonderful, and when they leave us, it’s such a loss, but also such a joy to have had them share a part of our lives. I know you miss them, especially at this time of the year, and always will, but hopefully your good memories supercede your sadness. Do you have other pets now? If so, please share that joy with us in our Celebrate section. Best wishes for the holiday season, and please stay involved lending your own sympathies and support to other community members. Toni-
I had another Guinea pig named Luna but she passed away after just a year. I also had another parakeet named Daisy and she was with us for six years. Now I have Vinny, my cat who will be 8 in April; Spunky, my chinchilla but I’m not sure how old he is; Diego, my corn snake who is about 10 years old and I just got Starla, a canary for my birthday in August and I’m not sure of her age though. Yes it’s very hard especially around the holidays. But I’m hoping they’re in heaven and know we will see each other again. I also hope my current pets feel all the love I give them and will be with me for a long time.

Oh no, Sharon, that is so awful at any time, but especially during the holidays. They seem to make everything more intense. Especially this year of extreme challenges in the world. Two years, two months, two weeks….time doesn’t matter if you are grieving. Everyone heals, or not, at their own pace. I hope you are, and will, find smiles coming more often than tears at some time. Please let us know how you fare through the holidays. Here’s a HUG. Toni -

Through sickness and in health – that’s what a commitment is. You each were there for one another. Are you doing well now? Will you welcome new faithful friends into your heart and home? Please let me know how you are.-
I’m always welcoming new friends in my life.
