Celebrate 2 years, 9 months agoAlthough I have suffered a great loss of my Jazzy, I am grateful to still have my beautiful Bailey…-
He’s beautiful! Also iam very sorry for your loss 💟🐾🕊️ -
Brandi, I’m so sorry for your loss of Jazzy 💔 I know how heartbroken you are. Your Bailey is a gorgeous boy and I’m glad you have one another to hold onto at this very sad time.
Sending warm, comforting hugs to you. Peace be with you. 💔 💔 -
Thank you so much! It is still so hard. Every day is a struggle, but I am thankful for my sweet Bailey. ❤️
-
Being grateful is so important. It reminds us of the many fun, funny and loving times we shared, and why we opened our hearts in the first place. Saying goodbye is so very hard, but recalling the good reasons for loving Bailey can help soften some of the pain. Will you be joining us tonight, Brandi? It may be good for you to talk with our kind, understanding group. Toni

Health Concerns 3 years, 11 months agoThis super good boy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last month and has been on the struggle bus since. Last week we made the decision that we will be putting him to rest on October 1st (As my son wants him in his senior pictures first) and I am so not looking forward to that day. He’s only 10 and I was so sure I’d have more time with him! Life has been quite sad since the diagnosis, but I am soaking up every moment with him until his time is here. I referred to him as my “puppy immersion therapy” when we adopted him and he has been there for me in innumerable ways. My heart is just in a million pieces over all this. Glad a coworker recommended this group. Any kind words would be very welcomed.

Sorry, I thought his picture would post too. It did not. But he’s adorable!

Marybeth,
I’m so sorry for you and your family during this difficult and painful time. It’s never easy to say good bye to a beloved fur baby. I myself know I lost my Spirit and Autumn Ranger within less then two months of each other both passed from Thyroid and Kidney disease. Hopefully in the remaining weeks that you have with this dear sweet boy, you and your family can create some wonderful memories with him. Maybe even create a bucket list of things you’d like to do with him, if he’s not in to much pain, to create wonderful and lasting memories. I think it’s very touching that your son sees this precious boy as part of the family and wants to have him included in his Senior pictures. That says a lot about your son and the wonderful young man he must be. Holding you all in prayer at this difficult and painful time. -
Marybeth, I am so very sorry for what you are anticipating. Our community is here to support you because every one of us has suffered the loss of a beloved pet, and we will be here for you. I found a stuffed toy really helped me – my girl slept tucked under my chin and having the toy there in her place was a big comfort. (You can contact Cuddle Clones by clicking the link on the right side of this page).
Knowing Drake is unwell gives you time to prepare, and to make every moment extra special. My girl was very unwell and I knew in my head it was a relief and release for her to pass peacefully, but in my heart the pain was deep. We have to always do what is best for our babies and sadly, saying goodbye is sometimes the best choice for them. Perhaps you would like to have a memorial service for his family and friends, or a party before you say goodbye so everyone can shower him, and you, with love. Whatever you choose, please let us know how you are all doing. If you need an urn or keepsake, you can find a lot of lovely, many personalized, memorial items in our shop. I clipped a bit of fur from my beauty and keep that, along with a canvas of her I had made. I talk to her and pet that every day and it makes me feel better. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/custom-pet-canvas/
We’re researching the issue with photos and it seems that iPhones don’t allow direct uploads, so you can save as jpg and upload from that. Please let us know if you need help.
And Marybeth, please stay in touch with us. We will be thinking of you and sending our strength. Toni

Toni and Suzanne,
Thank you so much for your kind words. They meant a lot. We do have a special day planned, all my children who are grown are spending the night after my son’s senior pictures and we are going to hang out with Drake. Then in the morning he will pass peacefully in his favorite room in the house … our 3 season porch. We are planning to have his ashes turned into a planter that sprouts wildflowers so we can see them and remember him fondly each year. Then I am having a paw print and photo framed to place in my office. I really love the pet canvas idea too! I will definitely look into it. He’d make a very handsome portrait.
And thank you for this site. It is a great comfort during this difficult time!
Marybeth

Celebrate 3 years, 11 months agoThese babies are my children. It is a joy and gift to have them in my life. They keep me going and put a daily smile on my face. Each one has such a character all their own. So sweet and sensitive, especially my husky Brinley.
-
OH MY DAWG … What fabulous pups, Melinda. I can see so much personality in their eyes. It’s so good of you to share your home and heart, so good for YOU to have them in your life. This is just wonderful, and thank you for sharing their stories and photos. We always like more :-). Don’t tell anyone, but we’ll be asking for cute costumes in October … just sayin’…Toni

Celebrate 4 years, 6 months agoWe have Renzo just over 6 months now. All they could tell us about him was his approx age of 1 1/2-2yrs old (best guess-timate) & that he came from Tennessee. We\’re not sure if he ever experienced winter/snow before, but here he is enjoying it to the fullest!-
So cute! My big puppy just had her first real snow days and she couldn’t get enough eating all the snow. She even started rolling in it 🤗. -
Beautiful boy. Looks like he is waiting for you to throw the stick. 😊
-
Yes indeed, Renzo is waiting for me to throw the stick! Playing fetch is his favorite play time activity whether it’s a stick or a ball. He will literally fetch & retrieve all day long until you feel like your arm is falling out of its socket! He has nearly infinite energy!
-
Umm hmmm…. He is your personal trainer 🙂 I have fallen in love with him from these pictures, Randy. He is smart, sweet and energetic. I just feel something from him, as I am sure you do. What a joy. Please send more pictures, videos and updates. (I want to pet his ears)….give him some pets from me please….
-
What a beautiful boy he is. He has such an intense look on his face. I bet he’s a joy to play with. I miss having a big dog around. They’re so much fun. Give him schritches for me.

Celebrate 4 years, 12 months agoAfter I lost my 15&1/2 year old dog, I was devastated and depressed. Amazing how friends come through for you. I was given my new fur baby, a maltipoo I renamed Harlee. She has been a godsend! Although I will never forget Ripley, I see so much of him in Harlee which not only makes me laugh, but makes me all the more happy thinking he’s part of her. It may be hard to replace a beloved pet, there are so many pups waiting to find their forever home. Don’t wait, just do it!!
-
Oh wow, Vivian – how touching and kind and lovely of you – and yes, you are right – we cannot “replace” a pet,, nor would we want to – but to open our hearts and homes to others with whom we can share love and kindness is so very uplifting ( for both), and healing, I am so happy you shared this and wonder if you will share some pictures of Ripley and Harlee with us? If not, that’s purrrrfectly okay …. we just like to know our furry friends better. You are one kind, caring person, and we are so glad to have you in our caring community. I look forward to hearing more 🙂

Health Concerns 5 years, 2 months agoI may need to rehome some of my cats. Please show me how. This hurts. Will they be ok.? I may have to move n no one may want a senior with 7 cats n a dog. 🥺
-
Margaret, I am sorry you face such a difficult decision. I know it hurts terribly to be parted. Since you have to find new homes, here is a useful resource: Go to the “Find Services” tab at the top of this page; enter your zip code; use the drop-down menu to find Rescues & Shelters in your area. If you need more help, let me know. And please let us know what happens with your babies. They will be matched with loving homes, I am sure. Sending you my best wishes.

Susan, do I count eighteen furry friends here? Wow – how wonderful of you and for them! So many different kinds…I’m a sucker for pets in sunglasses :-). Tell us more, please, and keep lovin’ and huggin’ those babies!
-
LOL No, I can’t afford that many. That girl in the sunglasses was my neighbors’ dog, as well as the brown bully, but we loved them as our own. A man shot the brown bully and someone stole the baby in the sunglasses. The Chorkie and the white bully are my granddoggies. The big yellow terrier recently passed away due to cancer. The black and white kitty befriended us when he was a very young boy that had been shot. $232 later, we had an indoor kitty. He also recently passed from seizures. The gray kitty was also a homeless baby that wanted to be loved. She now rules the house. The two black dogs are my constant companions. I adore all animals.
-
You are the BEST, Susan, to love and care for so many, and all, animals. My first dog, Moses, when I was six years old, was shot by a stupid neighbor and poor Moses died. What is wrong with people?!! Some of our other community members have had animals shot or stolen and it just saddens me, and stuns me. Animals are waaaay better than many people. I just read a book you might like ” The Travelling Cat Chronicles” by Hiro Arikawa. Let me know if you read it. And please, send pictures of your gray kitty “The Queen” of the house and your others, neighbors’ included :-). I am so glad to have you here. Toni

Allie posted an update in the group
Health Concerns 5 years, 5 months agoI had the pleasure of speaking with Toni about Faithful Friends and thought that I would share about Lacey, my Mini Goldendoodle. Lacey is currently 5 and has suffered from chronic ear infections since she was a baby. After years of trying new ear drops, switching out her food, and experimenting with a variety of dog allergy medications, her new vet told us that she had an infected ear canal due to a ruptured ear drum. We are unsure whether this was the issue from the beginning and it had simply gone undiagnosed, or if it had onset sometime between her vet appointments. After a course of antibiotics and a couple days in the cone (which she HATED), she\’s clearly feeling so much better. Since the reoccurrence of ear infections in dogs is often attributed to allergies, I would suggest ensuring that your vet has ruled out a ruptured ear drum if your doggy is in a similar position. Although this might not apply to every situation, hopefully it reaches someone and saves a dog from years of ear pain.-
So very sorry for your loss prayers
-
Thank you for sharing this important information and spreading your awareness of what I suspect happens more than we know. It’s why I shared the story that high blood pressure can cause blindness. Poor Lacey and “the cone of shame”…. But how wonderful for you all that you found out what was wrong and addressed it. Let us know what you two get up to :-).
