      Please, please…take steps to pTonirotect and comfort your pets this firework season. Keep them in a quiet room, speak soothingly to them, distract them with favorite toys and games. And if it’s hot, keep them cool and well watered. Toni

      • Romeo was terrified of fireworks and I had to sedate him. This is the first 4th of July without him. He doesn’t have to be afraid anymore. 😞 💔
        • Hi Maureen, I never had to sedate Lulu, but it is the first
          4th of July without her. I sure do miss her quirky little ways. So how are you doing? I hope things are a little brighter on this July 5th. I’m thinking of you. Take care brony

                  Randy, It is good to hear from you no matter what amount of time passes. I think of you and Remzo and hope you’ll send some more pictures of him. We’d love to see him now. You say it perfectly – the empty sadness. It’s not the acute pain of parting, but a lingering ache that comes when we think of their end of life. It sounds as if you are also able to recall the happy and fun times with Ranger and Axel, and that’s a good way to honor them. You and/or your wife are always welcome to join our monthly group meeting the third Thursday of each month. The links are under “Events”. I look forward to hearing more from you, especially if you open your home and hearts to anothet lucky pup! Sending you my best wishes, and hoping to see more of Renzo. Toni

                    Yep, gotcha Lori. My Beauty Girl (aka Deanna) sadi goodbye Feb, 2022 – 16 months ago – and tonight I felt again her absence.

How long were you together? You must be hurting and I hope you find comfort knowing you gave her her best life and lots of love. Toni

                                    Maureen and Brony: I think it is Brilliant that you have ‘partnered’ to support each other as we journey forth. I hope others here in our Community find a partner, or feel that we are ALL partnered. Brilliant!

                                      Leigh, I am so sorry. Yes, there are so many “firsts” after we say goodbye. Each one brings up memories and can stir grief all over again. I hope you can pull up some of the good and fun memories of your fifteen summers, too. It woud be a shame not to, do you think? Toni
