    Oh Jeri, Chloe was so darn cute. Hard to believe she was deaf with those big ears! My old cat has become deaf and blind this year, but she’s getting around okay. I don’t think it’s been very long since you and Chloe parted, so I hope you are kind to yourself and know you can grieve and share with us. I’m sending you a big {{HUG}}

      Was this a second fall, Dianne? It must be contagious because I fractured my wrist Sunday!
      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 9 months ago

        I know, Dianne. My girl is still failing and I’m trying to remember what a lovely life she has enjoyed, and that when she passes she will be comfortable, rather than how terribly empty and sad my home and heart will be. You hang in there – it hasn’t been very long for you.

            Diane, I am just so very sorry for your parting from K.G. These darn holidays make everything even more intense, don’t they? What does K.G. stand for? I call my old girl Beauty Girl and some call her BG….would you like to share with us about your life with K.G.? Share some pictures? Are you doing okay, Diane?

                Hey Martha, I have an idea for you. Go to our tab “Find Services”, enter your area, and using the drop-down menu look for shelters and rescues in your area. They are listed and on a map with direct links to their websites. I will be surprised if you can’t find a little baby there :-). Let me know if I can help you.

                  It’s okay, Lori. You can cry with us. I know I do many days in anticipation of my girl dying – she’ blind again, and deaf, and with her other health challenges, it is gut wrenching because she is so sweet, never complains and is getting around fine. What troopers they are! At the first sign of distress or discomfort, I will gift her release, but she’s loving and purring, and thankfully mostly oblivious to what to me is just so, so hard to see, and she seems to be doing well …. so, you get through your grief with us, and remember it hasn’t been long for you.
                  We have a “Paw’d Cast” with Reagan Pasternak, the author of the book/journal “Griffin’s Heart” you may want to listen to. Click the purple microphone at the top right of this page. Reagan had a very hard time grieving her beloved Griffin, so created a way to move through her grief with her book. Take a listen and let us know if that helps you. We’re all thinking of you with understanding and care…

                    That’s a lovely, touching tribute to Snickers, Lori. What a cutie. In what part of the world was this picture taken? I see lots of birds! Did Snickers swim?

                      @brenda13 Hello Brenda, and welcome. Please tell us about this beautiful baby. I am very sorry for your loss, and hope you are okay.

                      It’s only been a few weeks, Lori, and we certainly understand the depth of your sorrow. Your tears are coming from a part of your soul and it takes time to find joy in your memories. You will. But for now, please allow yourself to move at your own speed toward healing. We’re right here for you. Maybe sharing a few more pictures of Snickers will bring some smiles. I am sending you a {{HUG}}}

                        Martha, the hurt from a deep loss is a wound, to the soul and heart, and like a physical wound, the deeper the cut, the longer the healing, so let yourself grieve and your tears pour out to help you heal. Did you ever look into adopting another as you mentioned before?

                          I was honored to meet Betty White in California at a Morris Animal Foundation event. She was charming as she warmly visited with me, and graciously accepted my gift of a Memory Vessel. Her unwavering, continuous and generous contributions to animal welfare for decades are inspirational and will continue to inspire us all. We join the world in endlessly thanking her for being the loving woman she was. We will miss her.

                          I wouldn’t be too sure she didn’t get adopted, Jessica. I adopted a 13 year old and she’ll be 18 in March. Some people only adopt older animals, and I bet someone gave Pritzel a wonderful home and life. That’s a wonderful way to remember her. I have felt bad for the people who had to surrender my cat and they must also wonder what happened to her, but the shelters won’t disclose who the owners were. It would give them comfort to know how much I love her and the good care I share with her. I hope you think the same about Pritzil.
