    @maraglez3180 Mara, I am so sorry for your loss of Sally. She sure is a cutie and we’d love to see more of her, and hear about her. Are you doing okay, not so good? Please let us know. We understand and care. Toni

    • ,Thank you Toni for your beautiful words. It was almost 16 years that we had Sally by our side and her departure was very painful for us. I know that she is in a better place without pain and without suffering, but my heart misses her too much and I know that she will always be in my best memories of her.
      • Mara, how fortunate you and Sallt were to spend such a loving, long time together. In our heads we know our pets are only on loan to us, but in our hearts we ache when we say goodbye. It’s good you are honoring Sally with best memories of her. It helps take the sting away, a bit, and I hope helps you find joy with her memories. I am glad to have you in our community, although sad for the reason, and if you would find comfort in sharing your own sympathy and understanding with others here, that would be very kind of you. Perhaps you will come to our online group meeting June 15th and talk about Sally with us. Please keep us posted about how you are doing. {HUGS} Toni

        @yuvonne53gmail-com Welcome to our caring community, Yuvonne. Please tell us about Milo – what kind of pet was he; how you met … anything you’d like to share. Toni

        • Yuvonne, behind every little memorial candle that gets lit is a story with a sad end. I am sorry you find yourself here but also glad that you reached out for help: there are people here willing to listen and help you mourn Milo. Talking about him is hard and sad but it also shows your love and appreciation and over time it will unburden your heavy heart. Tell us about Milo and make him known to us if you can. Best wishes to you!

              @lratcliffe7 Hello, and welcome, Linda. I am sorry for your loss of Bailey. Please tell us about your lives together, share some photos if you like. Are you doing okay? Not so good? Toni

              I am glad you have some nice things planned, Kyle. And Happy Birthday coming up. We’ll be thinking of you. Toni
              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 2 months ago

                Kyle, it’s only been two months and it is understandable that you still miss her. She was with you a long time and filled your home and heart. Are you able to find smiles when you think of Presley and the wonderful life you shared? Please come to our group meeting June 15th. I think you’ll find comfort sharing with others who undertsand and care. And keep sharing with us here – we are here for you. Toni

                  @barbturk Hi Barb, I am sorry for your loss and hope you will tell us about your baby. How are you doing ? Okay? Not so good? Toni

                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 2 months ago

                  Rebecca, you are an absolute angel, caring for so many over he years, knowing that saying goodbye takes a piece of you with each one. How kind and loving of you. It’s very hard but very rewarding, isn’t it? Pancreatic is one of the most dreaded cancers and I am so very soory for Toby Ryan, and for you. How long were you together? How did you meet? How many kitties do you have now? Are they missing Toby Ryan, too? As you read through the posts here, you’ll see that other pets in the household do indeed mourn the passing of a friend, too, and need extra loving, as do you, Rebecca. I am sending you a {{HUG}} and my sympathy. And gratitude for all you do for others. Toni
                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 2 months ago

                    The other pets in a household were friends, too, and mourn. She needs your love and kindness now, just as you need hers. You’ll help each other get through this time and the changes to daily routines. Please tell us about her, Cindy. Were they blood relatives? About the same age? Were they close (it sounds like it). Toni

                      What a fun and full life you shared with Anjewel, Jen. Gosh, what a charmer. That face, those eyes… It is the hard, sad part of pet parenting – knowing one day we will say goodbye. But boy, what a great life you gave her, and she to you. We’d love more time, but are grateful for the love we will always treasure. One month isn’t long and I hope with time you find more smiles before tears with her memories. You are welcome to create a lasting memorial to Anjewel in our Memorial area (at the top of this page). And please join our June 15th group meeting to share more about Anjewel and her life of adventure. We’d really love to hear about her. With my sympathy, Toni

                        Chris, when I said goodbye to my girl, I felt good knowing she was at peace. She was old and had become quite unwell. But, when I walked in the house the emptiness and reality hit me hard. It does take time and the pain lessens. Do you think it was best for him that he was not sick for long? Better than a drawn out illness? Ten years, a hundred…it’s never long enough. We never will forget them, and I am grateful for the time we shared, as I suspect you are. It’s good to hear your update and I hope you continue to let us know how you are doing. And thank you for so kindly sharing your own support with others. It’s why we are here. Please come to our next group meeting June 15th. It’s good to talk among understanding people. Sending you a {HUG}. Toni

                          Carla, how are you doing now?
                          • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 3 months ago

                            Lori, that is terribly sad and I am sorry. What happened to Luckyduck? What kind of doggie was he? I am truly so very sorry for your loss. Toni
                            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 3 months ago

                              Ashley, I am so sorry. Mason was your dear, beloved best friend and your generosity and love in letting him find peace and comfort is a testament to your love and selflessness. And strength. It takes strength to love so deeply and let go, thinking only of what was best for Mason. But it hurts and I hope you can find some comfort knowing Mason had a wonderful life with you. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough. If you can, please think of the many fun and loving times you were lucky to share – I hope you find joy with those memories. Please let us know how you are doing, Ashley, and join us June 15th to talk aout your life with Mason. Here is a {HUG} for you. Toni

                                Lori, I am sorry. My darling slept with me, too, and I found a stuffed toy helped me when she passed. I kissed and cried into it. Maybe that can bring you a little relief. How long were you and Luckyduck together? How did you met? What kind of pet was he? May we see some pictures? {HUGS} Toni
                                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 3 years, 3 months ago

                                  Cookie was a small girl who was a huge part of your family for a long time, Carla, and it’s understandable that your world feels broken, because a part of it broke away. I am so very sorry. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for long enough – forever iwouldn’t be enough time together. I hope you can weigh the seventeen wonderful years of joy against this painful period and find joy knowing Cookie shared her best life with you. If she sent you a Thank You note, what would she say? Perhaps you can write a note to Cookie, telling her how grateful you are for having her in your life and heart. Please let us know how you and your family are doing, Carla. {{HUGS}} Toni
