    Hooray! Poor little thing, and poor YOU for the terrible worry. Hopefully she learned a lesson and won’t do that again πŸ™‚

      Dianne, can you call your animal control people (our phone umber is 311 – I don’t know if you have the same system) and ask them to patrol your area? She may be under a porch, or maybe someone let her in their house. A cat of mine once got stuck in the roof eave across from me. It was terrible because I could hear her crying but didn’t know where she was. They get into the darndest places. Let us know what’s going on.
        • She is back home,and very soaked from the heavy downpour of rain last night.I towel dried her and hair dried her on low temperature.

            @tiff1230 Hello and welcome to our caring community, Tiffany. I am very sorry for your loss of Josephine. How are you doing – okay I hope? Please tell us about Josephine and share some photos if you like.

            Dave, how are you two coming along? I’m sure you are still in pain, but hope each day brings more smiles than tears. We’re thinking of you.
            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago

              Dianne, I am so happy to hear your update. I think of you and George every day, and think it’s because my old girl has similar problems. She had blood in her stool again a few weeks ago and there were no parasites, so we’ve added another dose of antibiotic. She has so many health challenges….But! It sounds as if George has a single issue that may be controllable once you identify what’s going on. Just curious – have you contacted Waggle.org and have they helped you? Thank you Dianne, for letting us know, and please let us know what you find out. Toni

                @rrneal67 Hello Rick, and welcome to our caring community of pet and animal lovers. I am so sorry for your loss of Oliver (love that name) and I wonder how you are doing – okay, I hope? Will you tell us about Oliver, and your lives together? How you met, what kind of pet was he, anything you would like to share. If you have photos, we love to see those. Please let us know how you are doing, Rick.

                Oh my Dawg, Susan …. you are barking up my tree with this one :-)…In our November newsletter (which you should have received), I mention the “early morning rousings”…how cool of you to share this with us. Your comments are always so charming and meaningful – Thank You for sharing with us, Susan. Keep ’em coming – we love them, and you πŸ™‚

                  OH! Carla, may we see a picture, or pictures of Miracle?
                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago

                    Carla, you HAVE been through a lot of loss and it’s understandable that you are not doing okay. If you like, we have a wonderful counsellor about grief – Glenn Swain of Heartfelt Farewells – who works with some of our community. It may be helpful for you to contact him. (Click ‘Our Friends’ at the bottom of this page to get to his information). I really understand how you and Miracle were connected. You went through so many good, great, and really terrible times together. Was he ill? Was dying a relief and release for him? If so, that’s one of the hardest, yet best, ways to say goodbye – knowing Miracle is not suffering. Whatever the reason for his passing, you are now suffering the emptiness of your home and heart, and that is so very painful. You need time, and support from those of us who truly understand the depth of your grief, to move forward. Little things – everything – carries a memory, and you should allow yourself the kindness to feel both the pain, and the joy those memories bring, knowing you would not have lived without the love, even though the pain is so hard. Talk to Glenn, and to us, and let us know how you are coming along. I will be thinking of you, and along with everyone here, sending you heartfelt sympathy. Here is a {HUG} for you.

                      I am so sorry you and Kee had to go through what you did. It’s so hard to know they are sick, to watch them fail, especially since they are so uncomplaining and sweet even though they are so unwell. Each day is a gift, and clouded with sorrow, when we know there is illness. Death is a relief and release for them, and devastating for us. I am truly very sad for your loss. May I ask what kind of pet Kee was? Were there symptoms you can share with us, to help us know what to look for? If you are up to sharing some photos of Kee, we’d love to see them. Compere, please let us know how you are doing. In our shop, we offer a boo/journal “Griffin’s Heart” that many have found helpful in working through the grief. I’ll be thinking of you. Toni

                        This must be Lily? Your picture brings tears to my eyes, and my heart. Was she ill? You all look so embraced by love – happy, and even calm… it must have been both loving, and terribly sad. I am so, so very sorry for your parting. When you are up to it, please, will you tell us more about your lives with little Lily? I send you my sincere sympathy, and hope your joy from the times you shared will carry you through this most difficult of times.

                            Oh, what a sweet picture of you two, Brandy. Thank you for sharing your story with us – it’s quite touching and I certainly understand the void Indy has left in your home, and heart. It hasn’t been very long since you parted and it takes time to find smiles before tears with his memories. We’re here for you, to listen and send you our understanding and support. i hope this {HUG} helps. Please let us know how you are doing, and how we might help. Toni

                              Erica, Thank you for your kind words and support. That means very much to us, and what we are doing to help support our community of pet lovers. I applaud you for speaking with a counsellor – the grief of pet loss is deep, and different from other types of pain. Please let us know your progress. The book/journal: Griffin’s Heart (in our shop) may also be soothing and help you. You can listen to my “Paw’d Cast” with the author by clicking the purple ‘microphone’ icon in the upper right of this page. When you are up to it, if you would like to, please share some pictures of your Little Bear with us, and tell us about your lives together. I am sending you my sympathy and best wishes. Toni

                                @indysnan Indy – what a nice name. Will you tell us about Indy and your lives together? We’d love to hear, and see some pictures. I am sorry for your loss, and hope you are doing alright – are you?

                                • Hi Toni, thank you so much. He was my soulpup. Picked him out when he was 2 days old…took him home when he was 10 weeks old, actually on 4th of July. Named him Independence but called him Indy. (And about 87 other nicknames. We walked side by side for 13 years 3 months and 13 days. 2 uears ago last month we found out he was diabetic. Insulin shots twice a day. He lost his sight about 3 months ago but we were adjusting. He left this world Sun Oct 17th. 14 days ago. Im shattered and dont know how Ill ever be ok without my best friend. He comes home tomorrow though so theres a teeny bit of light. I appreciate your words
                                  Brandy, Indys Nan

                                      Thanks. It’s up and down. I’m speaking with a pet grief counselor today. I miss my Little Bear a whole lot. This is a great site and I’ve shared it with family and also social media support groups.

                                            Susan, Thank you again. I would add:
                                            My dog pets my soul more than I pet my dog (I’m working on that ratio, but can never keep up)
                                            My dog is smarter – at least more understanding – than most people I know. In fact, the more I know people, the better I like my dog πŸ™‚

                                            I’d love to hear more from others in our community.
                                            Susan, I hope you and yours are well. We LOVE your posts.
