Oh Valerie, I am sorry but I had to smile at these pictures of Sadie, especially since you say she was “grumpy” :-). I bet she was a lover and know she was your dear friend. How lovely and loving of you to share your life with her, and how lucky she was to have you to ride, and be with. Thank you so much for sharing. How are you doing now? Do you have other pets?-
2 years before she passed, I found a Chiweenie puppy and in 2016, I was blessed with a Chihuahua puppy..both are females. So, even though I lost Sadie, my heart was still full of love for the other 2. I miss Sadie so much because she had her own personality but yet loveable on her terms. Her ashes are in a beautiful pine box sitting on my mantle.

Debbie, we don’t care about typos and auto-correct – it happens to most of us ;-). You and Cotton, and her parents, go way back – you lived important parts of life together and no doubt shared many ups and downs along the way. Of course you still feel bad from time to time. I hope the happy times are with you more, but I know how a simple little thing can trigger a well of emotional loss. I think we all have had that experience. Have you reached out to rescues to find another love? We seem to meet when it’s right for all and I hope you let us know when that happens for you. You are kind and generous to open your heart and home to another furry faithful friend. Sending you best wishes for that! -

Jill, Gizmo has only been gone since March, right? That’s not a long time for healing and I hope you will go easy on yourself. She was such a part of you and your life, your dearest friend in so many ways, I don’t find it unusual that you are still actively grieving. If you have been reading the comments of other community members here, you know some have had their beloveds pass unexpectedly, some in their sleep for no known reason, some shot….It’s one thing to have an old, ailing pet, and while it’s just heartbreaking to say goodbye and we grieve the loss, it’s understandable. But to lose them for no seeming reason leaves questions for us. Maybe those will never be resolved. Please share your feelings and thoughts here among friends who truly understand and care. I hope that helps you. I am sending you more HUGS. Toni -

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 🙂 -

@lacs70 Oh Lori, Patches is such a sweet name and makes me think your Patches had multiple colors? What kind of pet was Patches? Please share with us how you met, and some things about your lives together that are meaningful for you. How are you doing, Lori? Would you like to share some photos of Patches with us?

No kidding Susan – I think of this a lot and am pretty sure my pets will always be better, kinder than I, but they certainly inspire my actions and attitudes. Thank you for sharing this reminder. -

They were with you for so many life experiences, shared your ups and downs, those are big holes in your day to day life. How fortunate to have enjoyed so many years together, though. When my 19 year old died it was very mixed for me – she was old and needed to go, and I understood that, but she was with me through so many times that she left a void. It’s been long enough that her memory always brings smiles, but it takes awhile to get there. Please keep letting us know how you are. -

Stephen, I don’t believe we’ve met Victoria before. I remember Ariel. Did they live with you at the same time? We grieve and heal in our own times and I hope sharing your pain, and stories with us helps you to know you have caring people who truly understand with you to move through it. It’s really hard. Victoria’s eyes are soulful – she was a sweetheart, wasn’t she?-
Actually the top photo is Ariel and the bottom photo is Victoria.They got mixed up somehow.Ues they both lived with us since puppies.17 years.Passed away 3 months apart.I miss them so.

Dawn, It’s shocking to not have a warning, but for Ginger’s sake, to pass in her sleep without suffering was a kindness to her. You should still be reeling and in pain – what a terrible shock and loss. I am very sorry and sad for you and hope you will allow yourself to stay with your grief as long as you need. One day you will find smiles before tears when thinking of Ginger, but that only comes with time. What a sweet face. Was she a mixed breed? How long were you together? How did you meet? Please let us know how we can help you, Dawn. I am sending you a HUG.-
Toni:
Thank you. I met Ginger at a Pet Smart on Mother’s Day 2010. There was a rescue there. I saw Ginger and we locked eyes. I knew I had to have her. They didn’t know how old she was. The lady said she rescued her from a Shelter in South Central L.A. as they were wheeling her to that dreadful ROOM! Thank goodness she did. Ginger was my soul dog. She was so sweet and everyone just loved her. The Vet thinks she was around 5 when I got her. She passed away May 7th. 2021. I had her for 10 years and 2 days. She passed away the Friday, of Mother’s Day weekend. She gave the best hugs, and was a wonderful dog. I miss her so much. 💔😥
