    @kristen81 Kristen, i am sorry about Garfield. Was he a cat? May we see pictures and hear about your lives together? Are you doing okay, Kristen?

    • Yes he was and yes you may granted it’s only one picture though and I am doing ok
        • I’m glad you are doing okay, Kristen. Some of our community could use a kind word of understanding and support if you would like to reach out to them. Do you have another cat now, or is it too soon? Toni
            • It’s still too soon I think because I just lost him back in October and I think people just need to take however long they need to get another pet

          @ghorton01 Hello Glenda, and welcome to our caring community. Were your pets named Baby Blessing and Blackbeard, or Baby, Blessing and Blackbeard? Will you tell us about them, please?

          • No Baby Blessing was his name. and h e was a cat. I also had Blackbeard, Company, ,Lucky, Winkin, Diablo, Pookie, Coon, Smokey and Miss Pepper the dog. All have passed away and I miss them terribly. But I still have Kissingner, Bubbles, Tubby, Possum, Thomas and Salt to love everyday. I guess you could say I am a crazy cat lady.
              • Glenda, Wow – you are a HERO! You’re not crazy – you are kind, caring, generous and loving. What inspires you to have so many cats? Do you find them, do they find you?…..
                  • We seem to find each other, I have always loved all animals but cats tend to be my favorite, I have no children so they are my babies instead,

                    I guess you can say we find each other. I have alwaysloved all animals but I tend to love cats more. I have no children so they are my babies instead. I have had my heart broken so many times with them passing away and I always say no more but then I always seem to come across one who needs me but the truth is I need them just as much as they need me. I am so thankful that I found this website, Thank you for your kind words.

                      • Glenda, I am right there with you…They do seem to find us, and we, them. I like being a “Cat Lady”, and any kind of animal person :-)..
                        The pain of loss is deep, and I know some people who won’t have another pet because they don’t want to suffer that pain again, yet many others of us welcome the chance to love, and be loved by, another (and another) furry friend. We created Faithful Friends to be a safe place to seek or lend support, and if you like, please extend your kind words to others in our community who need some support during such a tough time. I look forward to hearing more of your stories. Thank you for being a part of us. Toni

                  That’s such a sweet story, Beth. Harvey’s hair was curly? How cute. Do you have pets now?

                    Vicki, Is this Boone or Harmony? What a stunning animal! Looks a bit “wolf’ish”?? Please tell us about your pets, and how are you doing, Vicki?
                    • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                      Oh Jan, I am sorry and sad for your loss. Will you tell us about him? What type of pet he was, maybe share photos if you like. Was he ill? We’re here for you, Jan.

                        Sherry, I am sorry about Layla. What a cutie. Was Layla a long-haired dachsund? Please, tell us about her, and how you are doing.

                          Laura, How are you and Avie? And how are you moving along since parting with Bailey?
                          • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                            It hasn’t been at all long since your partings, and I don’t think there is a timeline for finding smiles before tears, but as much as it hurts to say goodbye, I do think it matters how old or ill they were. There is always sadness, but often there is a sense of relief and release for them if they were suffering or failing. Jamie, what happened with your Smokey?

                              Arlene, #1. What a purrfectly beautiful photograph of your darling. I m so sorry. #2. On this website, go to the “Find Services” tab, use the drop down menu to find shelters and rescues, put in your zip code, and as Connie suggests, they will be delighted to have you share your loving home. We’re coming into puppy and kitten season and that means a lot of more mature pets will be in need of a new home. Please let us know what happens next with you, Arlene.

                                @tfesco Tamara, clearly you are a pet lover. Will you tell us about each of them, please? If you have pictures you’d like to share, we love to see them. How are you doing now? Do you have more pets?

                              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                                Oh my goodness, Ann…another black beauty! What pretty, expressive eyes Kairi has. I am sorry you have lost her. She was your dear, loving friend and coming up on a year since she passed is hard. We’re here for you ……. HUGS
                                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                                  Cassie sounds like she has a lot of energy! And she should, being a youngster :-). It’s great the three of them can play and chase together. I had three cats once and I figure that’s a good combination so they have one another. It was tough driving with them though because one would be around the back of my neck, one in the lap, and one roaming around the car :-)…… Keep us posted and share more fun photos, please.

                                    @loveliam Hi Tina, and welcome to our community of caring pet lovers. I am sorry about Angel. Will you tell us about Angel, and let us know how you are doing?

                                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                                    Beth, what a handsome guy. Beautiful markings. How long were you together?
                                      • We were together 11 yrs. I got him as a stray on my birthday. He was so cute. I found his markings and long curly hair very cute and handsome.
                                      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                                        What a lovely sentiment, Betsy. That makes me feel better. Thank you for sharing that, and your pictures of these adorable friends.

                                          Oh Cindy, I am so sorry, too. My nine month old kitten was hit and killed years ago. It’s just shocking in it’s suddenness and all you can do is cry and feel guilty and angry, and get through it with support and love. We are all so so sad and sorry for you both. I love the name-Spud. If you want a special way to keep Spud near you, check out the Forever in Glass hand blown pendants in our shop. Henry Duquette will create a beautiful glass piece in the color you select. I have one and they are lovely and comforting. Please Cindy, stay with us here and let us know how you are coming along. We are thinking of you. HUGS.

                                            @bellabax Welcome, Brenda. Please tell us about Baxter. What type of pet was Baxter? How are you doing?

                                          • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 8 months ago

                                            Oh my goodness, Ann, she is a black beauty – like mine :-)…Yep, we all have our personalities, don’t we? What’s Cassie like? How old is she now? I love this picture!
                                              • She is 11months old. When she was a baby, she was a cuddled, but now not so much. We have 2other cats that belong to my roommate. One is a Ginger tabby and the other is a Maine Coon, they were both adopted from a shelter. Cassie chased them around all day. Cassie will sleep on my bed for all of 10 min and jumps down. Kairi would sleep on my bed all the time.
                                                  • Cassie sounds like she has a lot of energy! And she should, being a youngster :-). It’s great the three of them can play and chase together.

                                                  Ack…you are hitting me where it hurts – my girl is celebrating her 17th birhtday March 13th (I’m going to post a Happy Birthday for her in our “Celebrate ” area – shsshh – don’t tell her, she doesn’t know)…and twice now I have expected to say goodbye to her. It’s devastating, I know. But we’re treating her and so far, so good. Even though Sami and my girl have lived long cat lives and intellectually we know how fortunate they, and we, are, it’s so, so hard to think of losing them, isn’t it?

                                                    Sylvia, this picture is so stunning. I can feel his personality. Oh my, it has not been very long since you said goodbye and i am so sad for you. Please, tell us about Little Man.
