    Kathleen, How very hard to say goodbye to both of your babies this year💔Ouch. Moon and Lily were each gorgeous. Moon looks like my beloved, departed BG, and Lily looks like Boots. Isn’t it just a shame that our darlings cant’ be with us furever (forever wouldn’t be long enough), but isn’t it also grand that we got to share their lives with them? Kathleen, keep us updated about how you are doing. We truly care, and are here for you. I am sending you {{BIG HUGS}} Toni

      Oh Shey, we always think of and miss our babies, no matter how many years, and on what occasions💔I hope that, along with the sadness, you also remember the many fun, funny, loving times you were so lucky to share. Toni

        Tabitha, what a little doll Jasper was💔The pain is very real, and deep, and I am so sorry. How long were you lucky to share with Jasper? I hope you can think of the many fun, funny and loving times together, and that you find some comfort in those memories. Our group meeting is tonight and you and your husband are more than welcome to join us. We start at 7PM Eastern and you can stay as long, or little, as you like. We’re here for you. Toni

              Oh Anne💔💔Your photo made me cry, she is so adorable. I am so very sorry. Was she suffering? I would suspect so with cancer. As heartbreaking as it is to say goodbye for us, for her it is a relief and release from the suffering. Anne, please tell us more about her, and you and your family are very welcome to join us for our kind, caring, understanding and supportive group meeting Thursday December 19th to share more. I think it may help you navigate the holdays at this difficult time. We are always here for you. Toni

                  Sandra, I am so sorry. Lulu Belle was such a sweetheart and endured so much. You are a loving parent to care for her so well. I hope that you can try to recall the many fun, funny and loving times you shared with Lulu Belle, and that you find some comfort there. I also hope you will hop on our group meeting next week, Dec. 19th at 7PM Eastern because we understand how horrible it is to say goodbye, the mix and depth of emotions you are feeling, and we are there to be with you. And please continue to share here with us. I am sending you my sincere condolences, and a {{BIG HUG}}. Toni

Anything you would like to share, we are here for you. The first holiday, birthday and anniversary are especially difficult and I invite you to come to our group meeting December 19th to talk about your feelings amongst our caring people.

                          Randy! It’s so nice to hear from you, and thank you for your update about Renzo and Rowan🤗Oh my goodness, what gorgeous boys they are! It’s hard to believe so much time has passed since you said goodbye to Ranger and Axel💔and I just know that they are delighted for the joy and love you are sharing with R & R🙌I am also very sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. Ouch. That hurts. I don’t know which is worse – seeing our loved ones decline and suffer, or have an unexpected passing. I’ve been through both and can only say that both are losses, and that we can work to find comfort from the happy memories we shared. I am truly sorry💔Holidays bring forth strong emotions and I hope you, your wife and family find, and make loving, happy new memories this season, and always💕We would love to meet you all and I invite you to join our group meeting on Thursday December 19th at 7PM Eastern. You can stay as long as you like, share as much or little as is comfortable, but I would certainly like to see Renzo and Rowan 🤗Sending you all my sincere Best Wishes for a wonderful holiday and a fabulous New Year. Toni

                            What a darling picture of adorable Slick❤️I am so sorry, Melody. How did you meet? How long were you together? Did Slick have pet-mates or was he a loner? Please tell us about him, and your lives together. It’s always hard to say goodbye, and the holidays can bring up strong emotions. You are very welcome to join us December 19th for our group meeting at 7PM Eastern via Zoom. The link is under “Events”. I hope to hear more about Slick here, and to see you at our gathering. Toni

                              Oh Robin, the hardest, kindest gesture we can make is to give our babies a peaceful passing so they are no longer suffering. I am so very sorry you had to make that decision for Fergus, and I hope you can find some comfort knowing that your selfless, generous act gave him release from his pain.💔
                              Please share more about Fergus, your life together, and how you are doing. Toni

                                Hi Amy. What a sweet picture of darling little Payton.How did you meet? How long were you together? Please tell is more about Payton and your lives together, and join us December 19th if you’d like to share more. We meet on Zoom the third Thursday each month at 7 PM Eastern. The links to join are under the Events tab on the right side of this page. Amy, I am so sorry for your parting from Payton 💔Toni

                                  Amanda, what a lovely, loving tribute to Copper💔It is so hard to say goodbye to a beloved baby and I am so sorry. How wonderful for you both to have shared a long, loving life. Please join our kind, caring group on December 19th at 7PM Eastern – we are here for you. Toni

                                    Debbie, I am so sorry💔Yes, your pain is deep, and your life and home have changed. It hurts in ways nothing else can. We can crawl through this together. May I ask how long you and Buddy shared a loving, fun life together? How did you meet? Is your life better for having shared it with him? What do you think Buddy would want to say to you – perhap you can write a note TO you, FROM him, saying what you think he would want you to know. I suspect Buddy would be grateful for his life with you and want you to remember the many wonderful times you were so lucky to share. Our beloved babies are only on loan to us, never for long enough (forever wouldn’t be long enough), but we can actively recall the many joys we shared, and be happy to have shared our times together. Debbie, we have an online group meeting the third Thursday of each month at 7PM Eastern – Dec. 19th is our next one – and I hope you will join us to talk about Buddy. We are here for you. Toni

                                      Paula, I am so very sorry💔An unexpected death is shocking, and it is understandable to question what happened, and if or how you could have prevented it. Have you spoken with Scooter’s doctor? Was there an underlying cause? Eleven doesnn’t sound long to us, forever isnn’t long enough with our darlings, but perhaps that was Scooter’s time and he is now resting peacefully. We may never know the exact reason for Scooter leaving, but I hope that you try to find joy in remembering the many fun and loving times you were lucky to share with him. Paula, please stay in touch here and let us know how you are doing. {{HUGS}}Toni

                                        Cathy, I am so sorry💔We want to have our beloved babies forever, but they are only on loan to us, never for long enough. We know that in our heads, but our hearts shatter when we say goodbye. I hope you can pull forth memories of the many years you and Jasper were so fortunate to share. His love, and yours, will always be with you. This is an extremely tough time of the year (there is no good one) to say goodbye. Here in the US it is Thanksgiving time and I encourage you to think of the many ways in which you are grateful for having Jasper in your life. Perhaps you can write him a note expressing that, and you could write a note FROM Jasper to YOU with what you think he would want you to know. I suspect Jasper would be grateful to you for the loving life you shared with him. Cathy, please keep us updated about how you are doing. And please accept my sincere condolences. Toni

                                          Jean, How nice to hear from you. You have had such a loss – I lost my husband many years ago and it still hurts. The pain does lessen, don’t you find? But we will always carry a bit of grief within us, I think. And yes, our pets mourn losses, too, not only of a human, but other pets in our family. It is so hard to watch our elderly pets become frail, and anticipating their passing is painful every day. I am sorry Bradley is aging, but happy for the years of love and joy you have shared. Jean, please feel welcome to stay engaged with us and let us know how you, Bradley and your other pup are faring. I hope you can enjoy this holiday season by recalling some fun, funny memories, and make some new ones! Sending you a {{BIG HUG}}. Toni
