    Oh no, Teresa. Is that a common malady with Great Pyrenese? I’ve not heard of that. I am so sorry. He was far too young to lose and as hard as it was, you made the supreme gesture of loving kindness and generosity to relieve his suffering. When you feel like it and if you want to, may we see pictures of Polar Bear? Only if it’s not too hard for you. How can we support you? Here is a HUG from me. Toni
      • How do i send pics i have some posted on here but cant figure out how to send any to you privatly
          • Oh my goodness, Teresa – the pictures you sent are fabulous. There isn’t really a ‘private’ way because we are an open community and share our stories, sorrows, joys and photographs. But, thank you for sharing these beautiful, and touching pictures of Polar Bear. I’m a little teary knowing what happened, but also smiling….

          Now THAT’s a great Christmas gift! She looks much younger than sixteen. Where’s her party hat :-)?…She’s very pretty. What breed/s is she? I swear she is smiling in this picture-a glamour girl. We’d love to see more. Thank you for giving me a smile. Toni

            Welcome, Raven. Were you able to light your candles? If you submitted them, it can take 24 hours or so to post because we confirm every email and candle submission to prevent ‘bots on our site. We are all real people with real pets here and are very happy to have you in our community of kind, caring pet lovers. Toni
              • Hi Toni. It’s been some time now and I still don’t see the two candles I submitted. Kinda hard to miss .. one was for Trooper Noel, the other for Scrappie-Do :-{

                • Raven, it can take a day or so because we actually approve every candle and email to keep ‘bots out. I am sorry for your losses and invite you to share more about them. How are you holding up? Toni
              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 9 months ago

                He’s a ‘cathlete :-). Love to see more pictures of them together….

                  Kathy, how lucky you all were to share so much loving time together. It’s so darn hard to say goodbye and have the holes where they were such a part of your life for so long. I sounds like you took care of them as well as they did you. Which one is which in this picture? The black doggie on the right looks to be smiling! I am sorry for your losses, Kathy, and hope you will let us know how you are doing.
                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 9 months ago

                    Oh dear, Dessel, what happened to Wishbone? Do you know? How are the three kids handling the loss? It hasn’t been very long since she passed, and there is no time limit on grief, so you be kind to yourself and let us know how we can support you. I am so sorry.
                    • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 9 months ago

                      Andy is a hero – a fighter who brings you love, joy and man, he dances too! I’m a fan of not just Andy, but you for caring for him and sharing your loving home (and dance floor). Love to see him dancing….Toni

                        Oh, they are all so cute – looking straight at the camera with those sweet eyes. I am so sad for you and your sister and hope you find smiles before tears soon. Let us know how you are doing. I’d love to see more pictures if you like. What breeds are they?
                        • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 9 months ago

                          Oh, that is so sweet. I know it doesn’t make it easier, but you shared 14 wonderful, loving years together. We know our pets are, unfortunately, only “on loan” to us, and one day we will have to part. Just think what joy, love and caring you brought to her. And I know, she gave it all back to you. You will always have Petals in your life, your heart. It hurts so bad to be without her. Let us know when you find smiles before tears, and how we can comfort you.

                            Wow, 20 lbs.? I carried a 15 lb. dog I was walking for a neighbor and boy, that gets heavy after awhile :-). May we see more photos?

                            • Toni Noel posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

                              @petals Hello, and welcome. Please tell us about your pets, and how you are doing.

                                    @karenlperez Karen, I am sorry about Buddy. When did you part? What kind of pet was Buddy? May we see pictures, hear about him? Are you doing okay?

                                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 9 months ago

                                    Ahhh….Jessica…It’s okay that you are still crying. There is absolutely no time frame on healing from the grief of losing a beloved pet. Do you find you smile before the tears come? The happy memories can bring up strong emotions, too – it’s not just sadness, joy is a powerful feeling that can lead to memories that evoke sadness. I think we all go through strong cycles of both. Stay with us here, Jessica, cry with us, smile with us, let us share with you. Do you have pictures of Lucy we can enjoy? Here is a HUG for you. Toni

                                      Laurie, you are a very kind, loving person to have shared your love and life with these darlings. And yes, they do live in our hearts forever – or furever…We have a few community members who have shared cats and bunnies, and I think any animals who live in a safe, caring place live lovingly together. What glass piece are you having made? Have you seen the unique, beautiful hand-blown glass in our shop? The artist, Henry Duquette, carefully, lovingly creates a beautiful piece incorporating your remains (or fur). You might take a look. Laurie, it hasn’t been vert long since you said goodbye to Abner, and if we can help you in any way, please let us know. We’ll be thinking of you.

                                        Laurene, what a gorgeous dog Bernardo is…Oh, I am very, very sorry for your loss. When did you say goodbye? If you are up to it, will you tell us about him, what happened, your lives together? Was he a German Shepard? His fur is so long… was he a special breed? How can we help you get through this, Laurene? We’re here and we care. Toni

                                            Oh geez, Lynn, that is so sad and I am so sorry. What a regal photograph of Colt, and what a perfect name for him – he looks so strong and smart. How old was Colt? What happened to him? How are you coping? Boy, those are sweet eyes….I can almost feel his breath… I am really sorry you had to part, and really want you to share your feelings with us if you like. Hug.
