    Anniversaries are tough, Susan. And can be good in the memories they carry. Do you still have your kitty? May we see some pictures of both Bugsy and the kitty (and the boyfriend if you like)? I am glad you have him in your life, and that he is so supportive. Sounds like a nice man. I’ll be thinking of you and Bugsy Wednesday. Check in with us please. Here is a {{HUG}} Toni

      @mfbjroe Hi Martha. How are you coming along now?

      • I believe I am a little better. Match 5th was eight months without my Missy. I still am having a hard time getting
        I am so lost and lonely without her through a day without tears. My niece and several friends are looking for a dog that needs to be re-homed. No luck this far. Everything available are big dogs or ones that shed. I need a little female long-haired lap dog because of my allergies. I am believing that if it is God’s will, then he will provide when the time is right.
        • I share your sentiment, Martha. It seems we find each other when it’s time, but it doesn’t hurt to look for them at rescues and shelters. Every breed has rescues and you could check with them, maybe get on a waiting list. You can find one in your area by going to our “Find Services” tab, entering your area, and using the drop-down menu see a list of rescues. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/find-services/
          It’s only been 12 days for me, and I know how empty the house is without my darling girl. Hang in there, Martha. Let us know how you are and how your search goes.
          • The right dog will come along when it’s supposed to. Be patient. Thank you for opening your heart to another dog.

            Dezi, use our tab Find Services and enter your zip code or city to find shelters and rescues that may be able to support your efforts.
            The tears and pain are exhausting, aren’t they? It’s been nine days for me and I am doing better remembering the good things. I hope you do, too. Sty with us and keep us posted. {{HUGS}}

                Animals are much better than humans. Wow-how wonderful of you. There is a man in Brooklyn who helps feral cat. Are you in that area? If so, I can hook you up.

                  @chris10625 Christine, I am so sorry for your loss of Samantha. Will you tell us about her and share some photos? How are you doing?

                • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                  Oh my goodness, what a beautiful girl. She had a few toys! How old was she? It’s shocking to lose her suddenly and I am very sorry. We’re here for you, Nathalie. {{HUGS}}
                  • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                    Thank you very, very much, Lori. I am doing better – I think of how she was failing and the last week of her life it was clear she was not doing well. That helps-knowing she passed comfortably.. It’s lonesome and empty, but I am truly grateful for our times together. And, I am grateful for the support and understanding from our community. Thank you again. Toni

                      This is a powerful story, Dezi. 1. You were so kind to bring Max into your home and heart 2.He may have been ill and you gave him a loving last month. I am so very sorry. We have different relationships with different pets and with some, the attraction and bond is immediate, so the length of time doesn’t diminish the depth of feeling. Perhaps you will bring home others, especially as we come into kitten season when kittens are adopted before mature cats who need love too! Thank you for sharing your story and Max’s adorable picture. With my sympathy. Toni

                        The picture of my cat came and it is SO fabulous – the whiskers look 3D. I smile every time I see it and it brings me comfort. You can order one of your own here: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/pet-poster/

                        Oh, I’m sorry. Your original post says she was born in December 2005. They could be with us 100 years and it wouldn’t be long enough…..

                          She was so cute, Mary. She had a long 17 years and I know there’s never enough time with them, but what a lovely life you shared. What kind of dog was Maggie?

                            @mikey Michael, hello and welcome to our caring community. Please tell us about your pets, and share pictures with us if you like. Are you doing okay?

                          • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                            Christine, how are you doing now? Do you have someone with you, something to hold and pet?
                            • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                              Tamara, how absolutely loving, kind and generous of you to share your home and heart with so many, all the while knowing one day we have to part, and how deeply that hurts. You are very sweet to open your life and heart, to share and care for these darlings. You are a special kind of hero….
                              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 8 months ago

                                Oh Gail, you have made me cry with your own kind words and I thank you so much for your generous contribution to help keep our community going. I’m doing it alone and need some support to cover costs. Thank you for helping us help others…and now me, as I move through this truly ‘searing’ pain. Here is another {HUG} for you. Something really cool happened tonight: I was sitting on the ottoman in my den where BG and I often sat, and the remote went to “0”. I hadn’t touched it, and have never hit zero before. She often stepped on it and changed the channel so I figure her energy came for a fanny scratch and belly rub. At least, that’s what I’m going with. I really did not touch it. I always say, and I know, intellectually she was so sick and I doubt she would be with me now, and she had a very peaceful passing, but the depth of pain from the emptiness and loss of her company are so deep. You have really touched me and, yes brought tears, but also comfort. Thank you again, Gail.

                                  Christine, I was sick for a day after, but today is the fifth day and I am better – not purrrrfect, but better. I force myself not to think of her and that helps. I dedicate periods throughout the day to think of her and grieve, then do something to stay busy. We’re here for you so share with us as often as you need.

                                    Chuck, my most wonderful, sweet, beautiful girl got her wings Thursday and I could really use some pictures and stories about Dixie now if you would share, please. Thank you, Toni {{heartbroken}}

                                      Christine, I just saw the darling picture of August and am in tears with you. That picture shows so much of her spirit and personality. Will you share it with us here? Do you have someone, animal or human, to be with you tonight? I have a stuffed cat that, I’m not kidding, truly helped me get through the night and these next few days. It may be hard for you to sleep, and hugging someone or something can help. I am just so very sorry…{{HUGS}} Toni
