    LaRonda, I am so very sorry. Yes it hurts unlike any other pain – they are a part of our souls indeed. I hope you will allow yourself to think of what you saved Harry from and find comfort knowing he had the best life with you. Harry would want you to be happy for the years you shared, do you think? I’m sure he was happy and grateful for your love and care. If there is a downside to loving pets it is that they aren’t with us long enough, no matter how long it is. That’s something we take on when we take in a beloved dear friend. Please join our group meeting Thursday May 18th to talk about Harry. It can help. And know we are here for you with sympathy and understanding. Toni

      Oh my goodness, Alison, what a handsome boy. I am so sorry. Our pets are only on loan to us, never for lng enough, and although fourteen years is a long lifespan for Louie, it’s all to short for you. I truly am sorry. What breed/s was Louie? What did you do together? I hope your memories of the good times you shared bring you joy, and that you find smiles before tears with his memory. Toni

                Sue, it’s impossible not to acknowledge the anniversaries of our parting, and I hope you have fond memories of all the birthdays you celebrated together, too. I bet you miss him each day, and hope you are finding more smiles with your memories. Anniversaries are tough and I am thinking of you with sympathy. Here is a {{HUG}} I hope helps a bit. Toni

                  Oh Denesha, what a sweet face, and those eyes, Ellie had. Our other pets absolutely do mourn alongside us. Saying goodbye has a huge impact on the household. Can you give Archie some of Ellie’s things, blanket, bed, toys, that he can be near? Sharing lots of love together can help you all move through this extremely sad, painful time. I hope you find some comfort in remembering the many years of joy and love you shared. Keep us posted on how you and Archie are doing. Sending you each a {{BIG HUG}}. Toni

                    In our community we care and share as we anticipate, prepare for and experience the death of a beloved pet. This is Walter. He will be 15 in June. Walter has a mass on his intestine and I am closely monitoring him for signs of distress, lack of eating, vomiting, etc. It is heartbreaking to know he is failing and I don\’t want him to suffer. We\’re taking things day by day. This is the anticipatory and preparedness stage – the part of pet love and loss we dread but move through, hoping to remember the many good times we were gifted with. If you are in a similar phase with your pet, we are here for you, to support you. You can share with us.Toni

                      I am so sorry, Jane. What a little doll. How did you meet Sophie? How long were you together? How are you holding up? It hasn’t been very long. Our next group support meeting is May 18th if you would like to join us to talk about Sophie. Toni

                        Barbara, what a kind, caring and generous person your are to care so well and so much for so many. Our candles are little kisses of light we send to not only pay tribute, but to celebrate the joyful times of love we shared with our beloved pets. I hope we all find comfort and smiles with those memories as we journey through the pain of grieving. How magnificent of you to open your home and heart to Apache Princess. I adopt older pets, too, and it is not easy to help them through their end of life, but it is so rewarding to provide loving, comfortable senior years, isn’t it? You are a hero and and angel. Thank you so much for being a part of our caring community. We look forward to hearing more about Apache Princess and are here for you with sympathy and understanding. {{HUGE HUGS} to you. Toni

                          @ivys I am so sorry to hear about Patches. Please tell us about Patches, and share some photos. I’m guessing the name came from markings on the coat? Toni

                                Oh Tracy, Ozzy was just stunning. And what a lucky boy to find your love and caring after his earlier life. That’s about the best we can hope for – to give them a lovely, loving life for as long as we get to be together (never long enough). I hope you find comfort knowing that your kindness and love were everything Ozzy could want. Stay with us here and let us know how you are doing Tracy. {{HUG}} Toni

                                  Ron, was Bobo a “Teddy”? They usually have an underbite. What a little doll. Please tell us about him and your lives together – how you met, how long you were together, what you did…anything you’d like to share, we’d like to hear. I am so sorry and know it hurts a lot. I hope you can recall wonderful memories that bring you smiles when thinking of Bobo. Toni
