Elisa, Your story and photos of Keep have brought a tear to my eye. I am so sorry for your loss, and happy for the many years of love and joy you and Keep shared. May I ask if the name Keep has a special meaning? It’s quite unique and beautiful. Will you join us June 15th to tell us more about Keep, and please share more with us here. Toni -

Maureen, I find sharing support helps ease a bit of my own grief. I always say “Joy shared is joy doubled, grief shared is grief halved”. You are very knid to share your sympathies and we all appreciate that. It’s a slog, moving through grief, and can’t be rushed, but thinking of good times with Romeo may help you, and knowing you gave him his best life and love may bring you some comfort. Do you think Romeo would want you to be happy for the lives you shared, and want you to be happy for that? I do. I hope you can join our group June 15th – you’ll meet some very kind people who undertsand and care. Stay in close touch, Maureen. We’re thinking of you. Toni -

Marianne, It is understandable that you are hurting. No matter how long we are together, even knowing Max had a long, loving, wonderful life with you, it’s never long enough for us. Your life and home have changed in a big way and it takes time to settle in anew. I am, we are, so sorry. I hope you will think of the good, fun and funny times you and Max shared and that those memories bring you smiles and joy. You might even write down some of your fondest memories and “send” them to Max. You can share some of those stories here, and please join our kind, caring group June 15th to share more with us. {{HUGS}} Toni -

I was the nanny to the litter of Frenchton puppies that a friend’s dog had. There were 10 puppies, 5 boys and 5 girls. All of them including momma Tulip were healthy and active. As they started walking it became clear that there was something wrong with Nutmeg’s left hind leg as it seemed to not stay in the hip joint. At 6 weeks we learned that Nutmeg was born with out a left hip socket. I decided that I was taking her and she was going to have the best life she could have. At 9 months old she had an FHO surgery and was spayed. The doctor who did the procedure said that he felt that she just didn’t have enough room to grow due to the size of the litter. It never even slowed her down. She ran and wrestled with her siblings and always climbed to the top of the puppy pile. She was 2 1/2 years old when she fell while playing on the bed. Within hours she couldn’t move her rear legs, refused food and water and was clearly suffering from severe pain. I took her to the Emergency and Specilty Hospital where they got her comfortable. She had critically damaged her spinal cord. The doctor said that she would never recover and would be in constant pain.
I only had her for a short time but I know that I gave her more love and the best possible life she could have had. I sure do miss my little Angel monster. -
So sorry for your loss 😞 Nutmeg was a fighter from the time she was born and I know you loved her so much. Such an unfortunate accident to happen to her. She was so young 😞
Sending you hugs 🫂 to comfort you at this very sad time. 💔 -

LaRonda, grief has no timetable and it can be years, or never, until you open your home and heart to another. It may be sooner though. We are not “replacing” our beloved, we’re sharing a loving lfe with another who needs and deserves a good life. Perhaps one day you will be ready for that. Do you think Harry would be happy for you both? You might start a “Joy” list of all the wonderful times you and Harry shared for 14 years – it’s a way to remember how much you added to each others lives. Please come to our group June 15th and you will hear from others who understand and will support you. The link is under “Events” on the right side of this page. {{BIG HUGS}}. Toni -

Mara, how fortunate you and Sallt were to spend such a loving, long time together. In our heads we know our pets are only on loan to us, but in our hearts we ache when we say goodbye. It’s good you are honoring Sally with best memories of her. It helps take the sting away, a bit, and I hope helps you find joy with her memories. I am glad to have you in our community, although sad for the reason, and if you would find comfort in sharing your own sympathy and understanding with others here, that would be very kind of you. Perhaps you will come to our online group meeting June 15th and talk about Sally with us. Please keep us posted about how you are doing. {HUGS} Toni -

@maraglez3180 Mara, I am so sorry for your loss of Sally. She sure is a cutie and we’d love to see more of her, and hear about her. Are you doing okay, not so good? Please let us know. We understand and care. Toni

,Thank you Toni for your beautiful words. It was almost 16 years that we had Sally by our side and her departure was very painful for us. I know that she is in a better place without pain and without suffering, but my heart misses her too much and I know that she will always be in my best memories of her. -

@yuvonne53gmail-com Welcome to our caring community, Yuvonne. Please tell us about Milo – what kind of pet was he; how you met … anything you’d like to share. Toni

Yuvonne, behind every little memorial candle that gets lit is a story with a sad end. I am sorry you find yourself here but also glad that you reached out for help: there are people here willing to listen and help you mourn Milo. Talking about him is hard and sad but it also shows your love and appreciation and over time it will unburden your heavy heart. Tell us about Milo and make him known to us if you can. Best wishes to you!
