@shelby Hello and welcome, Shelby. I am so sorry for your parting from Skeeter. What a fun name. How did you come to that? What kind of pet was Skeeter? May we see some pictures and hear about Skeeter? And Shelby, how are you doing? Okay? Not so good? We’re here for you.

Hi Marina. I am pleased to welcome you to our caring community. My Beauty Girl looked like Scampie. You can see her memorial in our Memorials tab. It’s always heartbreaking to lose a pet, but a sudden loss can be especially jarring and painful. May I ask what happened to Scampie? How long were you together? Do you have pets now? If so, you are welcome to tell us about them – we love to celebrate, too. In the Events tab to the right you will find the schedule and links for our monthly group meetings if you’d like to join us. I am sorry for your loss of Scampie and hope to hear more about your lives together. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Walking in the door of an empty house is one of the hardest parts for me. I am sorry and hope seeing some of her favorite spots brings you a smile (alongside the pangs I know you’re feeling). Mardi was lucky to have your care and love in her twilight years, as you were lucky to share her life. Deliberately recalling the better days can help us remember why we open our homes and hearts. Parting is part of the deal and while we know that in our heads, in our hearts we are broken when it happens. We’re here for you, and I hope you will join our group meeting Thursday July 20th 7PM EST – 5 PM MTN. Links are under “Events” on the right side of this page. Sending you {HUGS} and love 💕 Toni -

Lisa, each day and month that goes by is a marker of your time with Baby. In your five years together, you enjoyed fun, funny and loving times and I hope you can bring forth a few memories of those each day to counter-balance the pain of loss you feel. Please join us July 20th to talk with our kind group. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Sue, don’t let anyone pressure you into opening your home and heart again until you are ready. I’ve gotten a bit of that from well-meaning friends, but I am not ready right now to take on the tremendous responsibilty and time and attention our pets deserve. I do have all the “stuff” (litter boxes, toys, trees, etc.) for the next ones, but not just now. What we can do instead is donate to our local shelters and rescues to support the good work they do. -

Sue and Maureen, Thank you both so much for your kindness. To me, and to others here. 🤗
I am so glad Walter didn’t suffer a rupture. He was eating but lost 20% of his body weight which means his system was nor functioning well. I miis him but sincerely have to be happy he had a loving, comfortable end of life with me. I hope to see you both on the 20th – I think it brings us closer to actually speak, with and see one another. {{BIG, BIG HUGS} to you both. Toni -

One month ago I said goodbye to darling little Walter. I just walked in my house fully expecting him to greet me. It\’s hard to get used to, and it takes time to adjust. But I am very happy for the time we shared, and that he is not in pain or danger of his mass rupturing. It takes awhile to find balance and ultimately, more joy than sadness. Hang in there everyone. We\’re always here for you, not matter how long it\’s been. {{HUGS}} Toni-
I am so sorry to hear this, Toni! I missed the June meeting, so didn’t know of Walter’s passing. It takes so long to get over losing a pet! I am still hurting from the loss of my darling Jasper on April 25, 2022 — and still can’t bring myself to open my heart to another one yet!

Thinking of you and sending warm thoughts and lots of hugs. Walter is a beautiful kitty. I'm sorry for your pain. 💔

I am so sorry for your loss. Walter will be remembered. Nothing can take his place. But there is something that needs love. In time. Brony

Walter looks like a character and I agree: nothing is worse than to see them suffer! Yes, so much love is needed. Both my sweet cats, Tim and Lulu, passed away last year. I miss him sitting in front of the house where he would wait for us. He knew the sound of the car half a block away! And Lulu would drape herself all over my deck, making it very clear that this was her space and nobody else’s. My heart is healing but I decided to wait until the construction on our house is done by the end of the year hopefully. It would be too chaotic for them. So I teamed up with a neighbor to take care of the feral neighborhood cats. They are fiercely feral and I doubt I will be able to make them accept me closer than 4 feet away but it feels good to see them wait for me in the morning and evening and know somebody cares for them.

Oh Karen, The pain and the reality of the emptiness in your heart, and your home, is very raw and fresh for you and I am so sorry. I found holding and sleeping (and crying on and kissing) a stuffed animal helped me a bit in the early days. I also gave away her things too quickly and encourage you to hang on to Chloe’s for a bit. Do you have other pets in your home? If so, I hope you find some solace with them, and they are mourning too, so it’s good to share your grief with them. If not, are there family or friends to console you? We’re here for, and with you. It will do you good to join our supportive group July 20th (link is under “Events”) and you are welcome to share photos and stories of Chloe with us. Sending you a {{HUGE HUG}}. Toni -

What a charming image you have given us, Brony. Being in nature or seeing animals is a healing force. It reminds us of all the other life out there. If you can snap a photo of the Turkeys, please share it with us. Now you have me worried about them come Thanksgiving time. - Load More
