    Oh April, I am so sorry and certainly understand how much you are missing Missy. How long has it been? Will you tell us about her, and your lives together? May we see some pictures of Missy? If you’ve been reading some of our conversations here in the Community, you know we all think the holidays stir deep emotions – happy and sad – and we are here for you with sympathy, kindness and care. Please let us know how you are faring. I hope a {HUG} helps a little bit. Toni

      Hey Martha…. how did your Thanksgiving go? Okay ( I hope)?
      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you for being ecologically sensitive Susan :-). This is especially apropos of the holidays! How are you and yours doing? Toni

          @youngtoday73 Hello Linda, and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets and let us know how you are doing. Okay I hope?

          • Well, I actually don’t have my new baby yet. I had to put my last baby of almost 9byrs. to sleep last Dec. 2020. BEST buddy I ever had. He actually adopted me. Anyways, I would like to bring home a homeless cat that I met. I need someone’s help in getting him fixed & shots before my new apt. complex will let him come home to me.
              • Hi Linda. By “help getting him fixed & shots”, are you looking for a facility in your area? Do you need financial assistance? To locate facilities: Go to our Find Services tab, enter your zip code or city/state, and use the drop-down menu to find a clinic or shelter. For financial assistance: go to http://www.waggle.org and submit your request. If neither of these address your situation, please tell us how else we might help. And good for you and the new kitty! We want to hear all about him and see pictures ๐Ÿ™‚

              Hi Dianne. I know Thanksgiving is tomorrow and it will probably be hard for you. Please know we’re here for you.

                @ericalcasucci Hello, and welcome to our caring community, Erica. Please tell us about Ruby Sue, share your stories, and pictures. Are you doing okay? I hope so. Toni

                Giving Thanks – Thanksgiving. I thank each and everyone in our community who loves pets and animals, has shared their joys and sorrows, and their sympathy and understanding with others here within our ‘family’. Holidays can stir memories and be comforting with delightful memories, and painful with the absence of our beloved pets who are no longer with us in our homes. But they reside in our hearts forever. You are safe here, to express your feelings. We are here for you. I send you my sincere best wishes for a season filled with wonderful memories and a love that endures. Toni

                Oh my gosh, Susan, what a wonderful thing to hear. I know we are all delighted for you both. Now….spill the “T” … how did you meet – dog walking or volunteering at a shelter…or what???? May we see pictures of his dog (and him, if you like)? Happy Holidays indeed!!
                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                  Oh…I am so sorry to have you be so sad, and I understand, Martha. I swear, the holidays bring many different feelings and memories, and make it tougher in some ways, but hopefully also remind us to be grateful and happy for the lives and loves we have shared. This is an emotional period for all of us, and it is comforting to have us be here for one another. I hope you know I, and we, are sharing your grief and supporting you in your joys. Here’s another {HUG} and feel welcome to share as often as you need and want. We’ve got you…
                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                    Ooooohhhh….Do tell??
                      • Yes he is really nice and I am falling in love with him

                            What nice pictures of each of them. So now do you have Oscar, Princess and Irish?
                              • Yes.Irish was my indoor cat who wanted to be an outdoor cat,but…something changed in him.Since mama cat died,he no longer wants to go outside.He is afraid of cars,motorcycles and the garbage men.
                                  • Hi Dianne. I know Thanksgiving is tomorrow and it will probably be hard for you. Please know we’re here for you.
                                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 9 months ago

                                  This is so lovely, Dianne. Thank you for sharing your sincere, sweet sentiments.
                                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 9 months ago

                                    Dianne, I think of you every day. I truly do, My old girl wasn’t eating today, and I thought of you and George because she went through times like that, too. But, my girl ate tonight :-)…. You and your stories about George, Oscar and the paths you are walking are very meaningful, in case you don’t already know that. That’s why we are here, and here for you, and everyone who loves, and has loved, and will love, our most cherished pets. Each day I anticipate the moment when I’ll find my beloved girl gone – it’s grueling. But, she wakes up and lets me love her, and I remind myself to cherish these times with her and not get ahead of things….. oops, sorry, didn’t mean to make it about ‘my pet’…Dianne, you are doing well, and you did well for her. Take comfort in that. As we’ve discussed – she had her design, as do we all, don’t you think?
                                      • Hi Toni.I cherished George very much.It is hard to have senior pets and not knowing when there will be a time when they don’t wake up.Because George was fading,rapidly, I intended on having her put to sleep,but she went her way,on her terms.I do believe that kiss on my cheek,the Sunday before she had her accident,washer way of telling me goodbye,and she loved me.She has never kissed me on my face where I actually felt her tongue.I believe too,it was her way of thanking me for all of the years we had together,and I am forever honored to be George’s mom.

                                        Oh my Dawg …… she is too cute, Martha. Love the one in the dress, too. I’ve gifted my friends ornaments with their pets on them (sadly, one of my dear friends’ cat has lymphoma and the ornament is very meaningful to them). If it would be healing and helpful, perhaps you would like one of Missy. You can find them here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/good-dog-personalized-house-photo-ornament-3-75-matte-2-sided/
                                        Again, holidays stir deep emotions, especially the first one without them. I know, and will be here for you through them. Sending you a {HUG}
                                          • Thank you Toni. Most of today has been better but tonight the tears are flowing again.
                                              • Oh…I am so sorry to have you be so sad, and I understand, Martha.

                                              OH! would you share more pictures of Missy with us if you have some?
                                              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 9 months ago

                                                Yep. That is relatable, and understandable, Martha. I think it’s because the love we share is truly at a deep, soulful level – cellular in a way, and the tears really do come from a place that is different. You stay with us, we’re here for, and with you.

                                                  Martha, are you doing a bit better?
                                                    • Thank you Toni. Some days I think I am doing better but then, I am right back to crying.
