No one will question your decisions, Dianne. We all make what we hope are the best choices. I wonder if you could give her to a rescue or shelter where they may be able to get her in shape, and adopted? Was Waggle.org able to help you? They may be able to pay the vet for her. https://www.waggle.org/ -

I’m doing everything I can for my girl, with medicines and foods and treatments, but nothing is going to stop time – for any of us – and that’s a harsh reality. We have to love and linger in the times we have together. I, we here in our community, share the sadness and pain of the parting process, and I am so grateful for everyone who shares their stories and understanding with us. And….I am so grateful she is still with me, and seems to be doing okay for now :-)… Please, let us know how you and yours are doing. We are here for you.

How nice of you to take Skippy in to your home and heart, Nancy. It’s “good/bad” to have been together do long – we share so much over the years, and saying goodbye is bitter-sweet when they are at an advanced age. We know in our heads that we shared a wonderful long life of love and it was good for them, but we miss their presence, company and love so much. If you would like to share more about your lives together, and some pictures, we would really love to share those with you. By the way, were Skippy and your cat close friends? How is your cat doing? -

Oh Nancy, I am sorry to hear about your Skippy. When did you meet him? Were you together for all those years? What kind of pet was Skippy? May we see some pictures?-
Skippy was not quite a year old when I got him. He was a stray and such a cute little guy. We were best friends slept with me and my Bengal cat for all those years. He was a Jack Russell.

Hooray! Poor little thing, and poor YOU for the terrible worry. Hopefully she learned a lesson and won’t do that again 🙂 -

Dianne, can you call your animal control people (our phone umber is 311 – I don’t know if you have the same system) and ask them to patrol your area? She may be under a porch, or maybe someone let her in their house. A cat of mine once got stuck in the roof eave across from me. It was terrible because I could hear her crying but didn’t know where she was. They get into the darndest places. Let us know what’s going on.-
She is back home,and very soaked from the heavy downpour of rain last night.I towel dried her and hair dried her on low temperature.-
Hooray! Poor little thing, and poor YOU for the terrible worry. Hopefully she learned a lesson and won’t do that again 🙂

Dave, how are you two coming along? I’m sure you are still in pain, but hope each day brings more smiles than tears. We’re thinking of you. -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago
Dianne, I am so happy to hear your update. I think of you and George every day, and think it’s because my old girl has similar problems. She had blood in her stool again a few weeks ago and there were no parasites, so we’ve added another dose of antibiotic. She has so many health challenges….But! It sounds as if George has a single issue that may be controllable once you identify what’s going on. Just curious – have you contacted Waggle.org and have they helped you? Thank you Dianne, for letting us know, and please let us know what you find out. Toni -

OH! Carla, may we see a picture, or pictures of Miracle? -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago
Carla, you HAVE been through a lot of loss and it’s understandable that you are not doing okay. If you like, we have a wonderful counsellor about grief – Glenn Swain of Heartfelt Farewells – who works with some of our community. It may be helpful for you to contact him. (Click ‘Our Friends’ at the bottom of this page to get to his information). I really understand how you and Miracle were connected. You went through so many good, great, and really terrible times together. Was he ill? Was dying a relief and release for him? If so, that’s one of the hardest, yet best, ways to say goodbye – knowing Miracle is not suffering. Whatever the reason for his passing, you are now suffering the emptiness of your home and heart, and that is so very painful. You need time, and support from those of us who truly understand the depth of your grief, to move forward. Little things – everything – carries a memory, and you should allow yourself the kindness to feel both the pain, and the joy those memories bring, knowing you would not have lived without the love, even though the pain is so hard. Talk to Glenn, and to us, and let us know how you are coming along. I will be thinking of you, and along with everyone here, sending you heartfelt sympathy. Here is a {HUG} for you.-

I am so sorry you and Kee had to go through what you did. It’s so hard to know they are sick, to watch them fail, especially since they are so uncomplaining and sweet even though they are so unwell. Each day is a gift, and clouded with sorrow, when we know there is illness. Death is a relief and release for them, and devastating for us. I am truly very sad for your loss. May I ask what kind of pet Kee was? Were there symptoms you can share with us, to help us know what to look for? If you are up to sharing some photos of Kee, we’d love to see them. Compere, please let us know how you are doing. In our shop, we offer a boo/journal “Griffin’s Heart” that many have found helpful in working through the grief. I’ll be thinking of you. Toni -

This must be Lily? Your picture brings tears to my eyes, and my heart. Was she ill? You all look so embraced by love – happy, and even calm… it must have been both loving, and terribly sad. I am so, so very sorry for your parting. When you are up to it, please, will you tell us more about your lives with little Lily? I send you my sincere sympathy, and hope your joy from the times you shared will carry you through this most difficult of times. -

Erica, how did your session today go? -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago
Oh, what a sweet picture of you two, Brandy. Thank you for sharing your story with us – it’s quite touching and I certainly understand the void Indy has left in your home, and heart. It hasn’t been very long since you parted and it takes time to find smiles before tears with his memories. We’re here for you, to listen and send you our understanding and support. i hope this {HUG} helps. Please let us know how you are doing, and how we might help. Toni -

Erica, Thank you for your kind words and support. That means very much to us, and what we are doing to help support our community of pet lovers. I applaud you for speaking with a counsellor – the grief of pet loss is deep, and different from other types of pain. Please let us know your progress. The book/journal: Griffin’s Heart (in our shop) may also be soothing and help you. You can listen to my “Paw’d Cast” with the author by clicking the purple ‘microphone’ icon in the upper right of this page. When you are up to it, if you would like to, please share some pictures of your Little Bear with us, and tell us about your lives together. I am sending you my sympathy and best wishes. Toni -

@indysnan Indy – what a nice name. Will you tell us about Indy and your lives together? We’d love to hear, and see some pictures. I am sorry for your loss, and hope you are doing alright – are you?

Hi Toni, thank you so much. He was my soulpup. Picked him out when he was 2 days old…took him home when he was 10 weeks old, actually on 4th of July. Named him Independence but called him Indy. (And about 87 other nicknames. We walked side by side for 13 years 3 months and 13 days. 2 uears ago last month we found out he was diabetic. Insulin shots twice a day. He lost his sight about 3 months ago but we were adjusting. He left this world Sun Oct 17th. 14 days ago. Im shattered and dont know how Ill ever be ok without my best friend. He comes home tomorrow though so theres a teeny bit of light. I appreciate your words
Brandy, Indys Nan-
