Oh Dawn, my sister’s dog passed over twenty years ago and, like Mr. Bojangles, she still grieves. There is no time line on grief, but with time, do you notice your smiles come before your tears? I always miss my pets, but, while I hurt for them, I have joy from the memories. My cat Squirt was with me from 23 until I was 42 – that’s 19 years of very formative, emotional years for us – and she was my best friend. I still miss her, too, but have welcomed other pets into my life, grieved their losses, and thoroughly enjoyed and treasured their time with me. Love is tough. Let us know how you are doing, and if you can share your sympathy and support with others in our community, it will mean a lot coming from you. Oh, I think the holidays make it worse – do you? Try to have a decent holiday anyway. It’s been quite a year…. Toni -

Hmmm…. one of our members lost a young pup to a disease I hadn’t heard of. I wonder if anyone in the community has insights to puppy afflictions? We’re working to align with veterinary consultations and I hope we can make that available early next year. Faithful Friends is friendly with an organization called Waggle.org that helps pay for treatment. I don’t know if they would have been a resource for you, but we will work to make Waggle a presence in our community. I’m speaking with them again in the new year, so watch for more information.
What a shame, Billie Jo. We are all saddened, and here for you any time. Here is a HUG for you.-
hmmm. thankyou for the info on Waggle. I will check them out.

@bonzai777 Hello, and welcome. I saw your tribute candles in memory of Sissy and Poopy and am sorry for your losses. What type of pets were they? Do you have pictures we can see? How are you doing now? Toni

@rodeod1983 Hello Dawn. I am sorry for your loss of Tulsa. Please tell us about Tulsa and share some photos if you can. Are you doing okay? Can we help? Toni

Hi Toni, thank you for your kind words. Tulsa was my best friend and helped me through a lot of hard times in my life. Tulsa passed away back on February 14, 2011. I know it was almost 10 years ago but there is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss him so deeply.

Sikorra, I am so sorry. She is certainly adorable and was much too young. I’m not familiar with leptospirosis – can you tell us about it? Are there symptoms we should watch for? Does it primarily hurt young pups, only dogs, or other animals? Your experience may help others and is appreciated. The people in our community are here to support and sympathize with one another, so let us know how we can help you. Toni -

Oh Sue, how loving and selfless of you to think of Sandy first. I mean that. True care and loving means helping them find relief and release, even though we are devastated to let them go. It is, and should be, about them, not us. I know the depth of pain that comes with this. I also know, and you do too, and will be able to access one day, the complete joy of the loving times we shared, no matter how briefly. But, that takes time, and healing, and I, we in our community, understand and are here for you. Let us know how you are, and how we can support you. Hugs. Toni -

Oh Jessica, that is so hard and the depth of feeling is unlike others we feel, isn’t it? So young, and yet, for her time she had your love and care, and I bet you had some wonderful times that will bring good memories in time. The thing I find so hard is that they are only ‘on loan’ to us and, because they are so much sweeter and understanding than most everyone else…well…when they leave us, we are better, but a bit emptier, do you know what I’m trying to say? -

You make me smile and laugh with your backgrounds and stories, and I really enjoy this. Thank you! I’m not familiar with Corn Snakes, but will now look into them. He’s caught my eye :-). Canaries can be very affectionate and smart, so maybe Starla will come around in time and let you love on her, but I don’t know anything about Chinchilla’s. Do they usually like to be held? It sounds as if you have a lot of patience , obviously a huge capacity for caring, and are having a cheerful, if challenging, time. You simply must send more pictures and keep us in the loop with them all! If you get some holiday pics, please, share them. And have a fun, furry, feathery holiday!

@huntertam-i Tammi, hello. I’m sorry for your loss of Harley and Benji. How long have they been gone? Did they live with you at the same times? What kind of pets were they? May we share some of you pictures and stories? Tammi, how are you doing this holiday season? Toni

@jruffolo Hello Jessica. I am sorry about your losses of Karma and Ruffolo, or is that Karma’s last name? I’m sorry I don’t know, but please tell us about them. What can our community do to support you? How are you doing? Please let us know. Toni

We lost Karma on dec 4th 3 years ago. She was only 4 years old… she started limping on her paw and within 2 days she was blind and having neurological symptoms. We did doggie hospice overnight and after 2 seizures we lost our girl… and our dog Gemma lost her biological sister from the same litter. Our kids were devastated and so was I. I can still reach down and feel her with me at times. She was gone too soon… I light the candle because I don’t want her forgotten and
-
The light in our hearts is always on for her. Hoping all who have lost pets can find some comfort in lighting a candle for them… we will see them on the other side.

@colette Oh, Colette, I am sorry for your losses of Tarzan and Tiger. My first cat, when I was six, was named Tiger. Was your Tiger a cat? Dog, or some other sweet animal? And Tarzan (big name) -what kind of pet was Tarzan? Please send us photos, too. Are you doing okay this holiday season, when memories are even stronger?

Billie Jo, what happened? This is so sad and we are so sorry with you. What breed was he? How are the others doing? How is his mother doing – is she mourning him, too? What happened, do you know? It’s so hard to lose a loved one, and so young. I am, we are, so, so sorry… Is there anything we can do besides let you know we are here for, and with you? With my teary, sincere sympathy, Toni.-
We don’t know what happened. He was kind of sluggish the other day. He slept most of the day after we brought him inside. The next morning he was acting like his old self so we put him back with the other, then we went to run some errands. And when we came back, he wouldn’t or couldn’t come to me. I picked him up and pretty much all he did was breath and do baby howls and wiggle his tail barely. The emergency vet we talked to required cash up front, we didnt have it, but she said it could be low sugar so we fed him some syrup but to no avail. I appreciate you just talking to me if I need it Thank You.
