    Hello Missie. I am sorry about Fat Boy and Lulu and hope you are doing okay – are you? Will you tell us about them, and let us know how you are doing?

    Felecia, we see a lot of CHF in dogs talked about here, and it is very helpful of you to post about heart worms. Doctors have preventive meds or treatments for that, don’t they? (There are several shelters, clinics and other providers with the name Faithful Friends, and we interact with them all – but this is not a rescue or hospital – we are an online community for pets and the people who love them. Our “FIND SERVICES” tab will help locate facilities in your area.) Felecia, you are an angel to bring these loving pets into your home, and especially your heart. We know going in they are only “on loan” to us, and it is absolutely devastating when we have to part from them. Your generosity of spirit is not lost on them and they carry a piece of you with them. I am so sorry for your losses, so happy to get to know you. Thank you for being a part of our caring community. Toni
      • Hi Toni
        I meant with the heart worms is these dogs that I adopted and fostered were heart worm positive when Delaware Faithful Friends rescued them from their deplorable conditions lol. They are a no kill shelter. Yes they treated these babies for their heart worms but both had pretty significant damage when they helped them. There is heartworm prevention but the owners would give that to them. These babes were strays

        Thank you for your kind words… they were fabulous part of my family. Love them like they were my children. And thank u for this support group xoxoxoxox

          • Felecia, This is a hard story to hear, but it’s not unusual. I think people want to provide the best for their pets, but for any number of reasons, can’t, don’t or won’t. Rescues and shelters are so wonderful, and people like you who adopt from, and support them are more than wonderful..Will you one day invite another faithful friend into your home and heart?
              • Thank you so much for your kindness… Of course I would take in another baby… I have my eye on this poor baby that is 17 years old – came from Louisiana to a shelter in West Chester PA – I have to contact them and see if they allow out of state fosters.. I know no kill shelters do their best and are awesome with all the furbabies.. but it breaks my heart to know she is 17 and best for her to be in a comfortable home… ๐Ÿ™
                  • How wonderful of you, Felecia. I hope it works out for you both. Let us know, and if you find out about out of state requirements or other information, please share that with us. I’m pretty sure adoptions are done all the time, but you raise a good question about Fostering out of state…..

              That’s awful, Suzonne. Such a sudden tragedy. That is just terrible. And, it hasn’t been very long since you said goodbye to Buttons so I hope you are doing alright. Let us know.

                    I am glad you are okay, Erin. We used to put hats on our cat Tiger, but I can’t say he liked it :-). I’ve not heard of a girl named Maxwell and LOVE that! My cat now is also very Zen – the vets all say what a good girl she is… Do you have pets now?

                      @furmomma Felecia, I see your tributes to Fella and Sadie Mae and wonder how you are? Please tell us about them, and if you would like, we would love to see pictures.

                    • Toni Noel posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

                      @michelleriedlinger Hello Michelle. Your pet names, Zeusie and Rosebud are so different, please share their stories and pictures with us. Are you holding up okay?

                    • Toni Noel posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

                      @shortbetterhalf Hi Katherine. Sparky and Stanley – what clever names. What kind of pets were they? Did they live with you at the same time? How are you doing?

                        @timelytay Hello Tashawna. Will you tell us about your pets?

                      • Toni Noel posted an update 5 years, 9 months ago

                        @tiggergirl569 Hello Erin, I see your tributes to Nikki and Maxwell, and am sorry for your losses. Please tell us about them, maybe share some photos, and let us know how you are.

                        • Im doing okay. Nikki was my little girly girl. She loved being dressed up, and also loved to have her nails painted. Maxwell was my zen baby. She was the calmest cat nothing ever ruffled her. She also would start purring as soon i walked into the room and said high to her.

                            Yes, that is very nice. I like to have a keepsake I can have with me, too. What other memorial items would you find comforting?
                              • In my Jeep I have an engraved container with his ashes and a keychain with “In memory of my best friend “. I have them hanging from the rear view mirror
                                  • I wish I had told you about Memory Vessels, Chuck . They have two compartments for physical mementos like remains or fur, plus a USB Flash Drive to store photos of Dexter, all in one beautiful heart shaped, substantial piece. We also have beautiful hand blown glass pieces that have the remains integrated in the glass. Take a look through our Shop, or call me. Also, I want to ask you if fire departments provide window and door stickers that alert emergency responders to pets inside a building. I have one I got years ago and don’t know where I got it. How are you doing now? Toni

                                  Dear Belinda, nothing you do is “wrong”. Getting rid of the house or any other of Peanut’s things makes sense to me. I find grief ebbs and flows – some little thing, like looking out the window, can trigger big emotions. Stay in touch with us here – we understand your pain and are here to support you.
                                    • Thank you very much.I didnt think getting reid of the dog house was no ones business but mine what I decide to.We had destoryed the bottom half of the dog house and took the top and placed over him with his toys.The woman next door lost her dog the same day I lost Peanut.So she buried her dog next to Peanut cause they was neighbors and friends.

                                      Cody, Thank you for sharing this. It seems we are hearing about more recalls, which is good for consumers, but makes me worry about some of the dangers.

                                        @vpoole Hello Vicki. I am sorry about Elmo and hope you are doing okay. Are you? May we hear about Elmo, maybe see some photos? Please, let us know how you are.

                                        @olaw Jo, I had a kitten named Nicki, so when I saw your tributes to your Nikki and Mercedes, it brought back memories. Please share with us about them both, and let us know how you are coping. Toni

                                        @runtjade Jeanie, I love the name Grizzley. What was Grizzley? May we see some pictures, please? What happened with Grizzley – illness, age..other? How are you doing Jeanie?

                                        @cathy1960 Hello Cathy. I am sorry for your loss of Gracie and wonder what type of pet she was? Please tell us about her and let us know how you are doing.

                                        Sapphire is such a pretty kitty. I am sad for you. Were there symptoms of her kidney failure? Something we should watch for? My cat Squirt, who was 19 when she died, loved cantaloupe! I’ve never had a cat other than Squirt who would even consider it. I haven’t tried Cheeto puffs on my cat, but she likes regular Cheetos, and Doritos, although she finds the Doritos a bit spicy for her taste :-).
