    ooohhh… that is something… I wonder if someone had her, or if she was hiding somewhere. We’ll probably never know. But that was then, that happened, and now you are reunited! What a great end to a harrowing event. We are all so happy and grateful, Hilary. Thank you for letting us know, and sharing these photos. Please send more of them so we can see how she and her sister (name?) are doing. Another {HUG} for you all ๐Ÿ™‚

      What lovely stories, Geri. While they are only “on loan” to us, our pets weave deep and meaningful fibers into our beings, and we never forget them. But, with time, we do find smiles before tears with our memories. I am absolutely convinced that non-human animals are very gracious and generous and want us to love and bring comfort and joy to as many pets as we can. And we ARE capable of loving over and over again, without diminishing any of the loves we’ve had before. In fact, losing our beloveds teaches us to treasure every pet even more. You are very kind to open your home and heart to others, and to share with us here. Your kind words of support, care and understanding to others in our community really mean a lot, Geri. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. Keep us posted about your new darlings, with photos if you like. Toni

        OH MY GAWD!!!!! How FABULOUS!!!! I was telling a friend about Scarlet and she knew of a cat who came home after 4 months, so I have been hopeful for you, Hilary. You must show us before and after pictures of Scarlet!! How absolutely wonderful. So happy for you all {HUGS}

          Did you know tears have different chemical compositions if they are from joy vs. grief? It’s true. We literally “cry out” our feelings. So, while you are still feeling grief and the tears just come rolling, it’s a cleansing thing. There is no time frame for healing, but there are ways to help move ourselves along through it (and we must go through it, not ‘around’ it). You may find journaling helpful (https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/), or want to speak with a grief counselor (https://heartfeltfarewells.com/). Also, would you like to tell us more about Meesha and your lives together? It’s helpful to share the fun and funny stories, as well as the challenging and sad parts with us. We understand, relate, and are here for you. For as long as you want and need us. And don’t feel guilty if you find yourself smiling and laughing with memories – those are the memories Meesha would want for you. {{HUGS}}

            That’s right. In fact, the older, the better. My girl will be 18 in March and every day I love her more.

              Hilary, any good news about Scarlet yet? Do you think she was ‘catnapped’ or is hanging out with someone?

                @sandysings Hello Sondra, and welcome to our caring community. I am sorry for your loss of Pearl. Are you doing okay? I hope so, and know it’s just heartbreaking. What kind of pet was Pearl? May we hear about your lives together, and see some photos?

                • Welcome Sondra. You’ll find caring support here. It’s a wonderful community. I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with the loss of a beloved pet. Please remember that between hello and goodbye there was so much love. Healing thoughts and hugs to you. Please tell me more about Pearl. Do you have pictures? I’d love to see them.

                    Oh Darlene, I am so sorry for you all. It’s so hard to lose a beloved family member like Leo. Is he wearing a bowtie? What a cutie. There is such a conflict of intellectually knowing he is not suffering, and the absolute heartbreak of saying goodbye. It’s good you and Trixi are there to support each other. I hope you will find comfort. May we see more photos of Leo and Trixi? Keep us updated, please. {{HUGS}}

                      Oh, this picture brought tears – her sweet little face. Compere, thank you for sharing with us. I know you are relieved for the end of Kee’s suffering, but are just torn apart inside. I hope you are doing things to bring good memories that bring you some comfort. Keep sending your images and feelings. Here is a big {{HUG}} for you.

                        @nanasplanet48 Hi Carol, and welcome. Who is this in the picture? Please tell us about your lives together, and let us know how you are doing. Okay, I hope?

                        Awwww….what a cute guy. I am so sorry. Do you typically have bearded dragons? We’d love to hear more about them if you would share. Do you have other pets now? Please let us know how you are doing.

                          Thank you for the update, Hilary. Not what we wanted to hear, nor what you want to report. My neighbor’s cat was away for ten days and sauntered back in, and I’ve had a cat and dog who were gone for over a week and both came home the same day. So let’s stay hopeful. You are all doing your best and I know we all are sending positive energies your way. Keep us posted. {{HUGS}}

                              @nanasplanet48 Hello and welcome to our caring community, Carol. Please tell us about your pets and let us know how you are doing. If you scroll through some of the posts, you will get to know us, and I hope make friends with us. Oh, we love to see photos and videos, too.

                              Renzo certainly seems to have calmed down….waaaaay down :-). What a great picture, Randy. Very sweet. They keep us warm, in so many ways, don’t they? I am so glad you are doing better after your partings from Ranger and Axel. I know they are still with you in your heart and memories, and they would be happy for you and Renzo to carry on. Thank you so much for your update. Keep ’em coming. And post videos here, too, if you like.
