Dodger was an enigmatic, very interesting guy, wasn’t he? So many expressions in his pictures… It hasn’t been very long since he crossed the rainbow bridge and I certainly understand how much you feel. Karyn, give yourself all the time you need to mourn and grieve, knowing that you shared such a full, long life together, and that he would want to thank you, and have you remember your times with smiles, joy and love. Do let us know how you are. HUGS -

@melodie26 Twist – what a fun name. Please tell us about Twist. What type of pet? How long were you together? How did you meet? May we see some pictures? How are you doing?

Sue, Martha lost her Missy on August 5th, too. It hasn’t been very long for you to grieve. It’s good you have your other furry friends to keep you busy. Life on the road – how fun! Virginia is driving with her pets and asked for tips – perhaps you can suggest some. Scroll through the posts to find hers if you like. I hope you feel better each day. Please let us know how you are doing and share some photos of your pets on the road. Hugs…… -

Martha, it’s only been a few weeks since you and Missy parted. Of course you are feeling sad – you are mourning, and it takes as long as it takes to find smiles before tears. We’re thinking of you. Stay with us and let us know how you are. -

Mary, this is a beautiful image of you and Moana. She had blue eyes? Wow. How old would she be today? Special dates bring on strong memories and emotions so allow yourself to move through them. Let us know how you are doing. -

That’s a nice story, Lori. Thank you for sharing it. Our pets do know when we are unwell and I think are very healing. It’s easy to post photos – click the camera icon in the lower left of the ‘comment’ box on this page. Let me know if I can help. -

@ladpeaches Lori, Thomas is such a majestic, strong name – I love it. What kind of pet was Thomas? May we hear about him and see photos? How are you doing, Lori?

Thank you!! He was a stray in Middletown and we were getting ready to have a bad storm so took him in and he was part of our family for over 10 years since then. He was so loving and was my daughter was sick he always knew and laid with her every time. I have to figure out how to put his pic on here.

@cassiecat Hi Sue, and welcome to our caring community. We’d love to hear about your pets, and see pictures if you like. I hope you are doing okay – are you?

Hi Toni, I currently have 2 Aussie shepherds and 4 cats. We lost our orange kitty on Aug 5th due to cancer. It’s been hard we rescued him in 2007 and he has been our RVing buddy for 13 years. We travel with our camper and take our furbabies with us.

Oh dear Martha, I am sorry for both losses – your SIL and Missy. Now that you tell us she was a Maltese, I see it. How darling. I hope you allow yourself to grieve at your own pace, and please feel comfortable sharing your feelings with us. There are no timelines on healing. We’re thinking of you…….-
Thank you. Some days I think I am doing fairly well but other days I am a wreck.-

I’m glad to hear Maxwell is adapting. I think animals understand and accept the naturalness of the end of life better than we do – but how can we know? Our pets are our babies, dependent on us for support in many ways, and we upon them for their love and friendship and overall cuteness, so when we part, it really leaves a hole not only in our hearts, but our everyday lives – do you think? Maria, are you finding smiles more often now when you think of Moulin? May I ask how he got his name? It’s very cool. And Thank You for being a caring part of our community. If you read some posts that move you to share your support, I hope you will – it’s why we are here 🙂 -

@noelsmom13760 Hi Cathleen, and welcome to our caring community. I am very sorry for your loss of Noel. Will you tell us about your lives together? Share some photos? How are you doing?

She looks like a little doll. She, and you, were so lucky to have each other. Thank you for the picture of Gracie May. How are you doing, Tamara? -

I am so sorry, Martha. What a sweet and pretty girl. I am sure you are hurting and hope you smile with her memories. How long were you and Missy together? What breed/s was she?-
Missy had been with me from 10 weeks until 10 1/2 years. She was a Maltese. She and het brother were born at my brother and SIL’s. My late SIL was her breeder. They were the lady litter to be born before my SIL passed.

Oh Mary, that is a lot to lose almost exactly a year apart for three years. I understand how you must be walking through a fog of grief. I will share a story I haven’t thought of in years, and maybe we can make some sense of Gizmo’s passing: I had 3 cats and one was just a kitten who would not go outside. I had to pick her up and take her out. One night, one of the other cats walked in through the sliding door I held open for her and the kitten jumped over that cat – something she never, ever did. Ever. She did not go outside. When the kitten didn’t come in after a few minutes, I sent the other cat to find her and she came back to the door and I knew …. the kitten had been hit and killed. I have always wondered if the kitten was somehow compelled to not only go out that night, but to actually jump over the back of the other cat to do so. We’ll never know about my kitten, or your Gizmo, but maybe there are reasons why these tragedies happen to our little innocents….I don’t know, but I am very sad and sorry for your losses. And Thank You for being so kind and generous by opening your home and heart to more new loves. Please, let us know how you are coming along. -

Awwww….what a darling girl. And tolerant (the tutu and crown!) :-). My toothless black cat is soon to be 17 1/2 and I know that’s a nice, long, (spoiled) life, but when she goes I am going to feel the bite of loss mixed with the joy of love. But, like you, I wouldn’t trade our time together. Please share your own support, sympathies and encouragement with anyone in our Community who touches you. It means a lot to hear from other bereaved pet lovers. I look forward to hearing how you are doing. Toni -

Oh Tara, I don’t think four or five months is very long to mourn, and hope you will be kind to yourself. We have resources to help you if you like: our grief counselor (click the box on the upper right side to contact him directly), and two books: “Griffin’s Heart” – part supportive book, part journaling for your feelings, and a digital book – “101 Ways to Help Your Heart Heal after Pet Loss” you can download. They are in our Shop. Of course, we are here for you to share with, too, and understand. Sending you a HUG. -

She sure was a tough little cookie! Cockapoos are so cute. We’re excited to see her pictures. Simply click the camera icon in the lower left of the ‘comment’ box. Oh gosh, her passing is so recent, you must still be grieving. In our minds, intellectually, we know 15 years is a full life, but in our hearts, emotionally, it’s a terrible blow that takes moving through in our own time. We’re here for you. I’m sending you a HUG. - Load More
