    Donnie was the neighbors dogs puppy in a litter of several He was given to my grandson (he was about 3 months old) well being a young boy going to school and sports and so on he just really didn’t have the time to do what was needed so his mom took over I watched him while everyone was at work and I didn’t want to bond with him cause animals know an animal lover lol one night my daughter in law asked if Donnie could sleep with me cause she was just tired of doin it so then it was Donnie and Grandma and the rest is history He was almost 7 and I don’t think he knew he was a dog lol My kids said I lived him more than them Donnie was like my child and the grief has been unbearable Everyone says get a new did I just can’t!!! I got a tattoo the other day with Donnie’s name to me that was therapy I feel like my house isn’t the same without him He barked at everyone and everything Now just silence I just miss him so much!!! So sorry about ur baby I’ll keep u in my prayers

      Penny, When and how did you meet Donnie? How long were you together? What kind of pet was he? This morning I said goodbye to ny beloved Walter and I understand the grief. We all do in our community. Can you bring forth memories of some good, fun and funny times? I find that helps me. The sadness wells up and you need to let it out. Tears help cleanse the toxins and while it is exhausting, it does help to express the pain. I am truly very sorry and invite you to join our group meeting Thursday. Details are in the “Events” section to the right of this page. {HUGS} Toni

          Out of great love, and with heavy heart, I said goodbye to my beloved Walter this morning. We know he had a mass and I\’ve been watching for signs that he was declining. This morning his stool was liquid again, it had a little blood in it, and he didn\’t cover it in the litter box. His way of saying \”Hey Mom, I\’m not doing well\”. Similar to the way Sweetness let Karen know something was wrong. I was surprised at how quickly I could make the decision to give him a peaceful passing, but being aware of his illness made the decision, not easy, but clear. I always say the hard part comes when the house is empty and different, and that\’s what I\’ll be dealing with now. But I am grateful for the time we had together and the love we shared. I\’ll post a Memorial to my Darling in a few days. Toni💔
          • Thinking of you ❤️
            • Thank you, Cody. It’s hard and the house is empty (and tidier without all the pet toys, trees and dishes), and while I am sad, I am happy Walter is at peace. Knowing he had the mass growing, then seeing the blood in his stool, plus his weight loss and lethargy made it very clear he was not well and was declining. He was a real sweetie and I am grateful for having him in my life. I just posted a Memorial to him. Please feel welcome to comment there, too. 🤗Toni
              • Toni,
                I’m so sorry to
                Hear of the passing of Walter. In the short time he was with you in his final fur ever home you both touched each other’s lives and once again your heart is hurting and has another hole, hopefully at the right time to be filled by another fur baby in need of a loving fur ever home as Walter was.
                As hard as it is to say good bye for the final time you made the right decision to set him free of his pain Hindsight bring for sight, I let my spirit suffer longer than she should have because I was selfish and wasn’t ready to say goodbye. While the decision to set Autumn Ranger and Saraya free wasn’t easy I tried to be less selfish and release them earlier on so they didn’t have to suffer anymore
                You and everyone else mourning the loss of a beloved animal or human are in my prayers.
                • Toni, I was sad to read about you losing Walter! You loved him and took care of his need to be free of pain first even though it breaks your heart. I know the pain of feeling the house being different and weird without them! Wishing you support and shoulders to cry on at this time!
