    Laurie, a vet once told me “Better two months too early than two months too late”. One of the kindest gifts we can give our beloved babies is a comfortable, peaceful passing so they do not have to endure suffering. If you see that it is in his best interest to relieve him of his distress, you will never regret letting him go. Saying goodbye should make you feel happy for his release. Please continue to update us, and please come to our group meeting Thursday night for support. ❤️Toni

      Johannah, your pain comes through in your writing and I am so very sorry💔I think the deeper the love, the stronger the pain of parting, and you loved Pippin so very much. I am not sure we “get over” loss but we can help offset the pain by actively recalling fun, funny, loving memories of the life you and Pippin shared. Getting THROUGH the pain of parting takes not only time, but recognizing that healing does not mean forgetting. Healing is a way to honor Pippin. Opening your home and heart to another is also a way to honor Pippin by knowing he showed you how much love you have to give. You may not be able to afford a dog, but there are many lovley dogs in shelters just aching for a good life with a loving person like you. Perhaps you can volunteer at your local shelter to get a feel for it and to see if you are ready. Johannah, please join our group meeting this Thursday Feb. 15th at 7PM Eastern. I think you will find comfort talking about your feelings, and may get some other ideas about moving forward. The link is under the “Events” tab on the right side of this page. Please let us know how you are doing, if you decide to adopt or volunteer, and what we can do to support you. {{HUGS}} Toni

          @momee Hi Maureen 🤗You are so kind to share your support, and your feelings, with our friends here. Will we see you Thursday (Feb. 15) in our group? I hope you can make it. If you need, I can send you the link to join – they are all listed under the EVENTS tab and should be easy to get into. Let me know. We are all thinking of you and Romeo with sympathy and support.💔Toni

          • Hi Toni, thank you for your kind words. It is just a small gesture to give comfort to those who are suffering the loss of a furry companion and it gives me some comfort too. I have come along since the first awful days after losing my Romeo and, although I had very little support for my grief, I want to be sure I extend my support for others. I’m trying my best to climb out of this depression (baby steps).
            Don’t know about the monthly meetings, but I will definitely think about it.
            Thank you for your always remembering me and Romeo.
            Maureen

                  @daltonmackennal Hello💔Welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your baby, share pictures and tell us about your live together. Toni

                  Leslie, Christina, I am so glad you are supporting each other as you mourn Tanner and June. That’s what our community is all about – sharing. Grief is not linear: it flows up, down, in and out. Some things trigger fun, funny and fabulous memories of the lives we were so fortunate to share, and sometimes a glance down the pet food aisle will bring you to tears. It is all part of loving, and losing. The deeper the love, the stronger the joy, and grief. Please try to bring forth the happy times, and allow yourselves to feel and embrace the sorrow. And please join our group February 15th – I really think you will find comfort and support with us. Here are {{BIG HUGS}} to you both. Toni

                    Joyce, I am so sorry for your parting from Cocoa.💔 What a little doll. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough (forever wouldn’t be long enough), but you and Cocoa enjoyed a long life of love and joy, and I know you treasure that. You’re right – the pain of parting is deep, just as is the love. I hope you can think of the many fun, funny and loving times you shared and that you find comfort knowing Cocoa had his best life with you. Please join our group meeting February 15th to share more with us. We’re here for you, Joyce. Toni

                      Sharon, it’s good to hear from you. How have you been doing? Did you ever adopt another doggy ? I hope you are feeling well. I know you think of Bella and hopefully it doesn’t hurt so much now. Please let us know what you’ve been up to, and how you are. 🤗Toni
