I’m developing a smart wet food pet feeder I call Catzenpup, that opens single servings of wet food for cats and small dogs.
Let me know what you think!

Susan, THANK YOU for this list of Pet Preparedness. It especially pleases me because we offer Pet Power of Attorney and Pet Trusts through our relationship with our friends at Gentreo, with a discount. We ALL need to prepare for our pets’ care, not just in times of imminent emergencies and storms, but if something happens to us and we can’t provide care for them. Thank you so much for your wonderful posts. Keep ’em coming 🙂 -

Dianne, I wouldn’t mention this but think it may help you: My mother had ALS and desperately wanted relief from it. Human euthanasia was not legal so my sister and I couldn’t help ease her way and grant her a peaceful exit, for which she would have been grateful. So no, if anything, your selflessness is a gift to your girl, for which she will be grateful, and will always love you.-
Thank you Toni.

Maria, I am glad you got your pictures up. (It’s the camera icon on the bottom left of the “What’s New” box). I don’t know what ‘double paws’ are – will you tell us, please? What handsome boys. They look very happy in the photos. I am sorry for your parting from Moulin. . How is Maxwell dealing with this? Let us know how you are doing.-
Moulin had ‘thumbs’ … Maxwell is doing ok but I’m sure he misses his big brother. When it first happened, Max looked for Mou for a week or do after, but seems to have gotten on with life. I miss Mou every single day he’s gone. Thank you for the care and concern you show us all.
-
I’m glad to hear Maxwell is adapting. I think animals understand and accept the naturalness of the end of life better than we do – but how can we know? Our pets are our babies, dependent on us for support in many ways, and we upon them for their love and friendship and overall cuteness, so when we part, it really leaves a hole not only in our hearts, but our everyday lives – do you think? Maria, are you finding smiles more often now when you think of Moulin? May I ask how he got his name? It’s very cool. And Thank You for being a caring part of our community. If you read some posts that move you to share your support, I hope you will – it’s why we are here 🙂

Reagan says it beautifully. The decision to do what’s best for her is the ultimate act of kindness and generosity, even while it breaks your own heart. It sounds as if she is choosing not to eat – a sign that her system is shutting down, just as in humans. If that was not the case, I’d send you to our friends at http://www.waggle.org to seek financial support. They help pay vet bills when needed. But it seems like your baby is ready to go. What a loving, long life you shared – we can’t ask for, or offer more. You are loving and caring, Dianne. We’re here for you to let us know how you are. HUGS, HUGS, HUGS-
She actually looks anorexic.Her food dish is full.I have had her since she was a 7 week ball of fluff.She isn’t wanting to eat.I have tried my best to adjust her foods.Still no interest.So yes,I have to do what’s best.I just worry that she won’t hate me for what I am going to do.

@mariac Hello Maria. Welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets, and share some photos if you like.

Moulin is my angel kitty. He’s a fluffy orange kitty with double paws in front…he headed over the rainbow bridge January 8 of this year…😭…Maxwell is the little brother he left behind…Max is a brown tabby, I think, with gray and black tiger striping. I will post pics as soon as I can figure out how.

Hi Cheryl. It is so good to hear from you, and with such good news :-). You were right to allow yourself as much time as you needed to grieve, and do you find you are smiling with Maddie’s memories now?
How wonderful of you to welcome darling Luna into your home and heart. Is that her little tongue I see? So cute. I think others will benefit from your story and I hope feel encouraged that they too will eventually emerge from the darkness of grief, and be able to love again, all in their own time. Please share some stories of your adventures with Luna, and thank you for keeping us posted. Hugs to you both! -

Reagan, thank you for sharing your story with Terrilynn and all of us, and for writing your healing book with a “journaling” component that really helps express and get out the underlying feelings that can help us heal. Your kind words are always welcome. -

Faithful Friends’ primary, but not only, purpose is to be here as a caring, understanding and supportive community when one of us is experiencing the intense and deep pain of grieving the loss of a beloved friend. Every word we share, every item we offer, is designed to help. The book “Griffin’s Heart” was written to help the author heal from her own seemingly unending grief and I think you may find it a good, interactive not only book, but journal for your deepest feelings to help you heal. You choose whether to share it with your husband or sons, or not. It’s in our Shop.
It IS disappointing when others don’t quite “get it” but I am sure they are unhappy for your pain and probably don’t know what to do or say. Were Anubis and Bella good friends? Is Anubis doing okay? No question our fur babies understand and comfort us in ways no ‘human’ can. And the pain of parting is a different kind of pain. Terrilynn, this is so very recent and I would be surprised if you weren’t in a lot of pain now. One day you will smile before you cry, thinking of her, and you may even feel a little guilty about that. But Bella would want you and Anubis to be happy for your shared lives and love. Please be with us as often as you like and need. And thank you for the Hug. That brings a tear to my eyes. You be you……..we’re here for you. -

Oh, she’s so pretty. I’m so glad you showed us this beautiful girl. She has some Siamese in her? How old is Casper? How long have you been together? -

Yikes, Terrilynn – no wonder you are in such pain, and grief. It’s so recent and raw, and Bella is so adorable – her little nose is so darn cute, and I feel her personality in this picture. (Thank you for sharing this). You certainly were fortunate to share so many years together, as was she. It’s really horrible to part from such a dear, beloved friend and I am so, so very sorry. But wow – what a gift you gave each other, too – so many shared times of ups and downs, laughs and tears…. Terrilynn, you just sit with your grief and let the feelings and memories wash through and over you for now. There is no other place or way to be for awhile. We understand and want you to let us walk through this with you if you like – we truly understand and are here for you. Please, check in often and know we are all thinking of you. Here is a HUG for you. Toni-
HI Toni,
Thank you so much! I appreciate the love! I am having a very hard time … I look “ok” on the outside but inside my head, I’m screaming! and I’m very disappointed that my family (other than my husband) doesn’t seem to understand my grief 🙁 I feel very alone in this journey … my husband tries to do what he can …but he can only do so much … but I’m still getting out of bed and trying to accomplish what I can … I still have one fur baby, Anubis – and Thank the Lord for him! He’s 3 and has been a life savor – so I am trying to focus on him (Anubis) … and trying to appreciate all the wonderful memories my precious little girl (Bella) gave me … today is also the 3rd year anniversary of another one of my fur babies passing (Isaac) – when my dad passed away almost 4 years ago my fur babies were my saving grace – I honestly don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for them – and I have human sons as well! I love my sons, they are a blessing but there’s a special bond between my fur babies and I … Thank you again for your kind words! You have no idea how much it means to me!
Hugs,
Terrilynn-

Terrilynn — you and Bella are exactly why I wrote Griffin’s Heart. I felt completely broken after I lost Griffin and I needed a way to process the pain and sense of isolation. We’re sold out on Amazon, but Toni sells it here. Check out GriffinsHeart.com to see if it’s for you. I’m getting hundreds of messages from readers who feel exactly like you (and me!) — let me know what you think. Either way – I’m sending you love… remember to take all the time you need to heal. 💛💛

Thank you for your kind words! I just ordered your book and I am excited to dive into it. I love to read and I love to journal.
Hugs,
Terrilynn

Oh Valerie, I am sorry but I had to smile at these pictures of Sadie, especially since you say she was “grumpy” :-). I bet she was a lover and know she was your dear friend. How lovely and loving of you to share your life with her, and how lucky she was to have you to ride, and be with. Thank you so much for sharing. How are you doing now? Do you have other pets?-
2 years before she passed, I found a Chiweenie puppy and in 2016, I was blessed with a Chihuahua puppy..both are females. So, even though I lost Sadie, my heart was still full of love for the other 2. I miss Sadie so much because she had her own personality but yet loveable on her terms. Her ashes are in a beautiful pine box sitting on my mantle.

Debbie, we don’t care about typos and auto-correct – it happens to most of us ;-). You and Cotton, and her parents, go way back – you lived important parts of life together and no doubt shared many ups and downs along the way. Of course you still feel bad from time to time. I hope the happy times are with you more, but I know how a simple little thing can trigger a well of emotional loss. I think we all have had that experience. Have you reached out to rescues to find another love? We seem to meet when it’s right for all and I hope you let us know when that happens for you. You are kind and generous to open your heart and home to another furry faithful friend. Sending you best wishes for that! -
