    It\’s been a little past 3 months since I said goodbye to my buddy Dexter. Yesterday we got Dixie. She\’s a doxipoo and pure terror lol she\’s filling the emptiness I\’d been feeling since January. I still miss my little boy every day but memories are now with a smile instead of a tear. Thanks everyone for being there
    • Chuck! I am so glad to hear from you. I think of you and am delighted you opened your heart and home to Dixie. Oh my, what a little doll she is :-). That face! Daniella posted a picture of her Sedona, and I think Dixie and Sedona both have the sweetest little faces. I can’t say how happy I am to have you update us, Chuck. Dexter is always with you and I am sure he is delighted you are sharing your love with Dixie. Thank you for introducing her, and please yell us more, and share your adventures. By the way, how old is Dixie?
        • Oh, Chuck, since you said goodbye to Dexter, we have opened our “Memorials” section if you would like to share your stories and pictures in a more permanent way. Toni

        @raynebo Hello Brenda, and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets, share pictures, and please let us know how you are.

        We are also a community that celebrates our pets who are still with us, and I certainly hope Sedona is still. I’m sorry you don’t know her status – was that part of your terms when you placed her with your friends? How old is Sedona now? What a difficult thing you had to do in her best interest. It takes a lot of love to think of our pets’ best interest first and always, but it’s an act of great love. I am sorry for your parting. I just adore this picture 🙂 and thank you for sharing it with us.
          • We were supposed to be able to know her status and possibly get her back once on our feet but they no longer correspond..I know she’s in a great home but we have so much guilt..she was 6 when we left so she’s 9 now..she was our precious baby but we had no choice under the circumstances..thank you for your support
              • Don’t feel guilty, Daniella. You did what was in her best interest and it is so kind of you to carry your love for her. Our community friend Chuck just posted photos of his new faithful friend, Dixie, and I have to say she reminds me of Sedona. Sedona is young and I suspect she is living a good life. Let us know what you are up to, and you may think about volunteering at a local shelter. Use our Find Services tab, enter your zip code , then the drop-down menu to find rescues & shelters in your area. Playing with the dogs, cleaning cages, walking them….you may find a lot of joy and fulfillment with that. Stay in touch. Hugs

              Daniella, This is possibly my favorite photo ever….Please tell us about Sedona. Are you doing okay?
                • Ah Thank you she was so beautiful. We are grieving even though as far as we know she hasn’t passed..we lived in Seattle but had to move to Vegas for family and we could not bring her so we adopted her into a friends home..we’ve lost touch with them so we don’t know how she is? Not knowing is worse then knowing if she passed etc..we miss her terribly and our hearts hurt without her.

                        @lizwaw Liz, Mister and Baby were your dear friends and I am so sorry for your having to say goodbye, but am so happy for the lives and loves you got to share. Are you doing okay, Liz? We’re here for. Would you like to share your stories about them, maybe some pictures?

                            Hi Lynn. I am so sorry for your partings from Roxy and Zoey. You can always add another candle by going back in and doing that. Or do you need help with that? If so, we are happy to help. How are you doing, Lynn?
                            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                              Sherri, you are so right – their baskets or beds, or for me, the pet food aisle, places where your’e used to them being and yes, always on the look out so we don’t step on them. Did Dexter Debonair sleep with you, too? If so, that’s really tough, not having him beside you. I am just so very sorry Sherri and hope each day brings a few more smiles. Please let us know. This montage of his pictures is so charming, if you like we can make a blanket or mug for you with them soon. We are just adding select memorial pieces. We’ll send an email when they are available. In the mean time, know we are here for you if you want to share more of how you are, because we are thinking of you. Hugs, Toni

                                  Oh Ann, I got choked up reading this and am so very sorry. I know what you mean – if you see a spot where she slept or sunned, glance down the pet food aisle, think of calling out to her….just so many things bring tears along, with sweet memories. If you would like to post a lasting tribute to Kairi, we just launched our “Memorials” tab. Please keep us updated on how you are doing, Ann. We’re thinking of you.

                                    Hi Debbie. Is this Bennieboo or Rusty? What an adorable doggie. I am so sorry for your losses. Are you okay? We’re here for you.

                                      Erika, you are lovely and loving to open your heart and home to another fur ball. Just a few days ago i posted the sad news that many adopted pets are being returned to shelters, so you may have a better chance now. Use our “Find Services” tab, enter your zip code, then using the drop-down menu, click on Rescues & Shelters to find resources in your area. Good luck, and let us know who you find (or who finds you :)…)

                                        @robbie2828 Robin, does Nubia have a special meaning? It’s a beautiful name. I am sorry for your parting. What kind of pet was Nubia? May we see pictures, please, and hear about your lives together. How are you doing, Robin?

                                        @kary Hi Kary. I am sorry for your losses of Bella and Roxie, and hope you are doing alright – are you? May we see some photos of them, and hear about your lives together?

                                        @donnasr Donna, I am sorry for your parting from Oscar. What kind of pet was he ? Do you have photos to share with us? Are you okay?

                                        • Thank you for reaching out! Oscar was a dachshund. He was 16 when he passed away from heart failure. I’m doing ok but I miss him terribly – he was my best friend and I don’t know if I will ever get used to not having him around. My biggest worry was that I wouldn’t be with him when he passed but I was there and I know he knew how much he was loved. For that I am grateful. I do have a pic of him taken just a few months ago. Thanks again for the check in.
