    So…today, seeing the bright, brilliant colors of leaves changing, and this probably isn’t terribly original, that Life is like a tree: the tree itself is the world, and every living thing is a leaf upon it, and, just like leaves, every living thing will eventually have spent it’s life and fall from the tree, to be replaced with new leaves. I don’t know why that makes me feel a little better about losing any of our loved ones, but it gives me some perspective. Maybe it helps make you feel a bit better, too?

      Donna, there is a camera icon in the bottom left of this ‘comment’ area for you to share your pictures. We’d love to meet Cooper and hear about your times together.

        Raymond – may I say you both have the same expression in this picture :-)? Too sweet. Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s so terribly painful to part, isn’t it? Mama Dog was always there for you, no complaints, and just loved being with you…I have a few tears just thinking of how you must feel now. Doggone it – it’s so sad our beloved pets are only “on loan” to us. I don’t know what I can say to help you other than that, with your words and photo, you have touched me, and I am sure others in our caring community. I’ll be thinking of you, and hope you will share more pictures and stories about your life with Mama Dog, and if you want, send your own support to others who are grieving here. I am sending you my best, and hugs…….

          @bikeremt11 Hi Chuck. How is Dixie (YLS)? We miss hearing from you and about Dixie. New pictures, please :-)……Toni

          • Hi Toni! Dixie is doing great. She got fixed 2 weeks ago and handled it very well. She’s still a little shit and loves to tear stuff up lol She does have a bratty attitude and fits in well.
              • It’s so good to hear from you and Dixie, Chuck. And I am glad you are finding happiness in your memories of Dexter, and joy with Dixie. Well, she doesn’t look like a brat – she looks like a proper young lady in her dress and fancy bow on her collar :-). But then, looks can be deceiving…. Wow, she’s bigger than I pictured, and very pretty. Keep us in the loop, and have fun!

                Dreama, how are YOU doing? You are so nice to share your understanding and support. It really means everything to know we are all helping and understanding. Are you doing okay?

                  Dianne, How are you two doing? I find, if I hold her plate and tilt it, especially so she gets the juices, she eats more. Please let us know what’s going on. Thinking of you…..

                    Dolly, I can’t tell you how much it touches me to hear from you, and with such a sweet story of salvation for your little bitty kitty friend :-)..Midnight is probably grinning from ear to ear for you both, don’t you think? Oh boy – what are you calling him? May we see pictures of him, and Midnight (I don’t see any of Midnight). It’s easy to upload photos – just click on the camera icon in the lower left of the “comment” area. Of course, you don’t have to, but I love to see pictures – they do tell stories. Dolly, I know you carry the pain of loss, but what a nice, caring, loving person you are to bring this new love into your life. I bet he will sleep with you, too, and help you find joy, and remember Midnight with smiles, knowing while he is always with you, you get to share more love, again, with someone who really needed you when you needed him – don’t you think? Thank you for updating us and being a wonderful, caring part of our community. Sending hugs to you BOTH …….

                      @jane Hello Jane. I am so sorry for your loss of Patty, and hope you are doing okay? Would you tell us about her, your lives together, and share some phots with us?

                      Oh Clarissa, how terribly sad to lose Banjo at such a young age. I am just heartbroken for you. I have had two kittens who were very young when their little lives were over and it is such a touching and tough thing to move through and understand. And these darned anniversaries just bring up strong memories and feelings, so I know what you mean about that date in October. There’s nothing for it but to give yourself the day to honor and remember Banjo, embracing the world of love for a lifetime he shared with you. The book/journal “Griffin’s Heart” may be a good tool for you to help heal – others in our community have found it helpful. (It’s in our shop, but I am truly not trying to ‘sell’ you, I just know it can help). May I ask what happened to Banjo, if it’s not too painful? Would you like to share some pictures with us? We’re here for you, Clarissa, with much sympathy and support. Hugs, Toni

                        Congratulations, Michael! You made me research Eclectus and Green Cheek Conjures – two types of bird of which I had not heard. Wow, are they pretty, and I know how birds can be – very “chatty” :-). Thank you so much for sharing your family (zoo) with us, and you can bet we’d love to see pictures of each and all.

                          My house is currently a zoo! We have two eclectus (a male and a female), two green cheek conjures, a cat (an orange tabby female who’s the sweetest cat ever), two dogs (a chihuahua and a havanese), and a guinea pig. The eclectus are definitely the most work as they need a lot of care attention but it’s worth it as they are very smart and caring. I have special attachment with the green cheeks as they view me as a part of their flock. They think my name is cheekie and will start hollering for me if I wake up too late or they want my attention.

                                @clowymaxine Hello Clarissa, and welcome to our caring community. I am sorry for your loss of Banjo. Please tell us about Banjo and your lives together. Are you doing alright?

                                • I’m alright thanks for asking but I’ll never be the same.
                                  I had banjo since the day he was born in august of 2019. (His mom was a friend of mine furbabie) and he was the one for me when he took his first breath. He was and always will be my heart. He knows secrets that nobody will ever know. When I was at my lowest time after separating from my husband of 16 years, banjo was there. It was just us two. he was the best dog, best friend, and the best thing that ever happened in my life. I had him only 14 months, yes I say only because it was not enough time. I lost him Oct 23rd last year. It’s coming up on a year and I don’t want that day to come. I will love him forever until we meet at the bridge and go home together.

                                      • So sorry about the loss of Banjo.
                                        • Hello Clarissa. I am thinking of you today. It’s been one year since your precious Banjo departed and it is a tough (to say the least) day for you. Would you like to tell us how you are doing, what you are doing to help yourself? Do you have pictures of Banjo to share? We’re here for you. I am sending you a {HUG} and my best thoughts. Toni
