    I am so sorry Kathy. Anniversaries and holidays bring up memories, good, and sad. I hope you are recalling a lot of the good times, too. I know for me, even when I’m thinking of the good ones, sometimes I hurt and cry even though that wasn’t where I started, or wanted to go. It’s a mark of how close you were and how much you meant to each other. That’s such a treasure. A year isn’t very long and I hope you let us know how you are coming along. Please join our Group meeting September 22nd at 8 PM Eastern. We are here to support you. Sending you a {{HUG}}. Toni

      Randy, it’s wonderful to hear from you and get your update. We all remember when you first met Renzo and I have wondered how you two are doing. A splinter may be small but can cause big trouble if it becomes infected, and just imagine having to walk on it! I’m so glad he is doing well. Yes, the memories can bring great joy, but also grief. It happened to me the other night – I was just thinking about my girl and all of a sudden pain and tears came on. There is no timeline for feelings, and gratefully the happy ones come more often that not.
      He is such a handsome fellow and I hope you will share more photos and stories with us, especially as the seasons change. Sending you my best wishes. Toni

        Hi Cindy. One month is a strong marker of Scarlett’s passing and I know it is very hard for you. Even though she was needing to find comfort and release from her terrible affliction (I’ve known other dogs with similar masses), the hole left in your home and heart is painful. I am so sorry. Wouldn’t it be nice if they could tell us when something is wrong? Your pictures show she had an adventuresome life with you and that is wonderful. How old was she? How did you meet? We will be thinking of you tomorrow, and after, and are here to listen and support you, Cindy. Hang in there and stay with us. It’s not much, but here is a {{HUG}} for you. Toni

          In our heads we know Milo enjoyed a super long loving life with you and it was time for him to move on, but being part of your life for so much of it makes everything you do a little emptier. It’s really hard, Carmelina. And yes, you were both very fortunate, and you wouldn’t have wanted those years of your life to not have had Milo with you, nor would he have wanted a life without you in it. But, he is at peace now, and while you are the one suffering the loss, you know he would want you to be warmed by his memories, and instead of sad – happy for all you got to share. Grieving takes time, and we are here to carry a little bit of that with you. Always sending you heartfelt {{HUGS}}. Toni

            It’s great to adopt and you are very kind and generous to share your home and heart with so many. Thank you 🙂

              @carmie Carmeilna, today is seven months since your parting from Milo and I am sure it’s a tough day for you. How are you doing, and what are you doing to make it through? We’re here for you.

              • Thank you for thinking of me! It was a tough day and I miss him so much. I just remind myself that I was so blessed to have him for 21 years. As I so often referred to him… Milo truly was my little miracle, and I am so grateful for all the beautiful memories I have of him and Simba.

                  • Continuing to hold you in prayer Carmelina and hoping that you are able to find some peace and healing in the wonderful memories you shared with Milo, over those 21 years. Never forget that while Milo is no longer with you person, he’s watching over you from the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and loves you from the great beyond as he did when he was with you. Holding you in prayer.

                    Do you still have Angelina with you? How does she get along with the dogs? You have the loveliest names for your furry friends.

                      OH! So glad you told us more about them. They’re so pretty. Do you brush them a lot?
                      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 2 months ago

                        We know they don’t “replace” a lost love, but add more to our lives. It’s hard to open up to another but it can help heal us with the loss. Good for you both {{HUGS}}

                          She was soooo pretty and looks really smart. I am so sorry……

                            She is gorgeous. How old? How did you meet?

                              Oh Dawn, of course you miss he,r and will. Are you finding your memories bringing you smiles and good memories, or is it still very, very sad? You should have a mix of both, but with a lighter feeling, I hope. Join us in our Group Meeting tomorrow. An email will come to you with the link. Stay in touch with us. {{HUGS}}

                                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

                                  @tammylynn Tammy, I am so sorry for your parting from Hershey. Please tell us about your lives together, and share photos if you like. Was Hershey multi-colored? I know a dog who is and the entire litter are named after candy – Reese, Hershey, etc. Tammy, how are you holding up?

                                  Hmmm, something went wrong in the last post. I’ll try to send the link again….
