        • Toni I wanted to come to the meeting tonight but I was unable to find a zoom link anywhere on my emails from you. Not sure what happened to it. I even went to the website and still couldn’t find it.

            💔Doris Mae, The pain you feel is understandable and I am so, so sorry. It sounds as if you and Evie Girl had a strong, loving bond based not only on love, but mutual support. Your love will always be with you but not having her by your side and in your home is an additional emptiness. It does hurt, in ways nothing else can, to lose a beloved friend, companion and baby. I hope you can try to recall some of the fun, funny, loving times you and Evie Girl were so lucky to share and that you find a few smiles before tears with your memories. You might write notes to her, and write what you think she would want to share with you. I suspect she would be grateful to you for your care and love, and would want you to be happy that she had her best life with you. Our pets are only “on loan” to us, never for long enough (forever wouldn’t be long enough). Please share more about Evie Mae with us, and know that we are here for you. With {{HUGS}} and my sincere sympathy, Toni

                            Heidi, I am heartbroken reading your very touching account of the challenges you and Bear faced💔
                            You did what you could to help Bear based on the information you and guidance you received. That is all we can do – our best, always from a place of love and concern. Guilt is a part of caring for our beloved babies – did I do too much? Could I have done more? Did I wait too long or was it too sonn?
                            I hope you can find comfort knowing you did what you thought was best for Bear. If you can, please join our group meeting this Thursday, August 21st at 7PM EST, 4PM Pacific to talk about it with our kind friends. And pleases keep posting here. It can help to share. With my sincere and deep sympathy, Toni

                                    💔Jean, it’s only been a few months since you said goodbye to Bradley and it is understandable that you and Sadie are still mourning his loss💔Perhaps you will join our kind group August 21st to talk about Bradley, and Sadie. It can help to share with people who understand. There is no set time for grieving and healing but I do hope that each day is a bit easier for you both.
                                    I don’t know how old you are, but I had neighbors in their 80’s who only adopted senior dogs. Yes, they said goodbye to a n umber of them, but the sweet old pups had a loving last few years. Maybe you could consider that if it would help you, and Sadie. Is Sadie also about 13? If so, she may find a new fur friend stressful.
                                    Jean, please continue to share here with us – we truly care and are here for you. Sending you hugs, Toni
