Can someone go with you, Chuck? Would it be better for you if you wait awhile to get them – if you’re not ready, you don’t have to get them yet. Let us know what you decide, and if you don’t go, it’s really very okay to wait. If you do go, let us know how you are.
When you are ready, I have a question – does the fire department provide decals to put in windows or doors that indicate there is an animal inside to be rescued in the event of an emergency? Don’t answer now – but if you will when you are ready, I think it’s a good thing for pet owners to know. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Toni -

@bikeremt11 Chuck, I am so sorry. Is this Dexter? I’ve included a link to an article about CHF as a resource for others. Yes, it is excruciating to lose them, but you are so right that it’s about THEIR quality of life, and their release from suffering. Please, share your stories and let us know how you are doing. Toni

I have to go pick up his ashes tomorrow. I’m not ready for this

Well, Angie, I can certainly see why! What a face, and those eyes! Who is this? How old? Tell us all about your new friend. It’s so generous, kind and loving to open your heart again. Good for you. Thank you for sharing. -

Oh Jaime, you made me cry. My toothless, old (17) sick cat looks just like Jasmine. She is being treated for a few progressive conditions and I anticipate her leaving me in the not too distant future, so seeing your Jasmine really touches me. What happened to Jasmine? Do you feel torn – that you both shared a wonderful life for which you are so happy, and you knew it would come to this, and now you are just so absolutely SAD to your core? I know, Jaime…. it’s a horribly sad time. Please, tell me how you are doing and stay in touch. I am mourning with you…..Toni-
Sorry for the late response. I still cry alot. My daughter helps me I talk about the memories we have had with Jasmine. I cleaned out her water dish and gave the rest of her food in the bowl to my daughters cat Jadye.Jadye is 3 and would try to play with Jasmine. But Jasmine didnt like it she really didnt like other people but us. I walk into the kitchen and still cry. Every morning I would get a wake up call from her to feed canned food. What hurts the most is everytime wenwould open the fridge she would be there yelling at us to give her something like tuna. Everytime I would get a turkey sub from subway she would sit and yell at me to give her some. Sorry I’m just rabbling. Thank you. Prayers for you toothless. How are things going?

I have experienced, as I’m sure others have, just what you are talking (you are not rambling – it’s an outpouring of emotion ) about. It’s the little daily things that really trip you up – the tuna, the sandwich, the trip to the store for cat food and realizing you don’t need any…it makes it very real. And Jaime, it’s only been a few days, not even two weeks. Of course you are crying and sad and mourning. Of course. Please let it out with us. We are here for you. Hugs, Toni

Mary, I’ve been thinking about this. Do you think the cats don’t get along because 1. They are territorial or possessive of your attention 2. You cat is grieving and taking it out on the other cat? -

Oh Judie, to lose them both in such a short time is so sad. Were they older? They were brothers, but from different litters? They look like different breeds, so were they brothers by birth, or adoption? They are both really cute. I am so sorry for your losses. Toni-
The two pics here are of the same dog, Zorro. I had a schnauzer also that I lost 4 months ago. Stitch was 12 and Zorro 14. Zorro I had since his birth. His mother is 16 and still thriving. Thank you for the comment. It sure means alot.

Would you tell us more about the organization you work with? The works you do? Thank you for being an animal supporter. -

Oh yes, animals grieve, too. It’s hard for us because we want to comfort them. Keep loving on her, snuggles and kisses, and that should help comfort you, too. Check in with us and let us know how you ALL are doing. Toni -

Dawn, I posted the same question – when does the crying stop? It does, of course, but why is this so, so painful? I think because it’s so loving. Because they gave us so much love. Because we love them so much. Tears are a release, a cleansing function, and just don’t have to stop until they do. That’s it – they will stop when they do. And they will come back when they do, but over time, your smiles will precede your tears, and one day, you will have more smiles than tears…you will, and that doesn’t mean you stopped loving, it means the love you shared is bringing more joy than grief. Dawn, please you must stay in touch with us, cry with us if you want, and know we all are here for you. Toni -

Chico, you party animal, you! What a darling face, and soulful eyes…Desi, I am so sorry for your loss, but he looks like he was just what you said – your side kick. And 19 years, while there are never enough of them together, is a long run. This makes me Happy/Sad. Are you doing okay?-
Thank u I look at his pics sometimes I cry I never got another taco bell dog after him he was that dog that if u cried he’d lick u n comfort u or attack someone even if they play fight with u I have other dogs n cats but chico was so special. My other dog shelby i rescued from someone who would beat her passed a year b4 he did

Cheryl, did you have in-home euthanasia, or did he pass naturally? As sad as it is, how comforting that he was in his own place. Oh Dear, how are you?-
He was taken to the vet . we had to put him to sleep. I’m not doing too well .. Thank you for your concern
