    Gloria, BabyBoy was such a cool looking cat, and I know what you mean about ‘being human’ – are we sure we aren’t ‘cat’? Whatever we are, we have deep communication with certain pets and animals, just as we do with some humans. I am so happy you can remember him with smiles even through your tears that come from deep within. I’m so happy my Beauty Girl is out of pain, but the tears and pain of parting are still with me, too. It’s a trade off we wouldn’t change, isn’t it? The many joys and deep shared love in exchange for the searing pain of parting. Gloria, please share more stories about Buddy, and pictures! We love sharing and it helps us all come together in support of one another. Thinking of you {{HUG}}

      Oops, I meant my comments for Christine. Toni

        It sounds as if Buddy did what you asked and it’s not a day to soon, or late. Excessive vomiting may indicate internal problems, and he seems to be declining, and probably is suffering. The process of passing was so comfortable for my girl, and I know she was relieved of her suffering. We are the ones left behind with the terrible pain of loss, but it’s our obligation to grant the gift of peace as an act of love. So Gloria, those are my thoughts. Whatever you decide, you will act from love and in his best interest. Do let us know, and know we truly feel your pain and understand. I’ll be thinking of you constantly. {{HUGS}} Toni

          Today marks one month since I said goodbye to my Beauty…… What a lovely, loving run we had. She\’s always in my heart and I am lucky to have known her.

          Oh my goodness .. I’ve never had a dog who retrieved, leave alone a cat 🙂 He is precious and precocious and a delight. Probably smarter than I am !

            @nelliesmom We are so sorry for your loss and parting….are you doing fairly okay? Would you tell us about your lives together?

          • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 7 months ago

            Randy, I remember Ranger and Axel, and how handsome they were. It is SO NICE of you to share your sympathy and understanding, and I can attest to how much it means, and helps, to know others understand and care…Thank you, and your wife, for being a kind, caring part of our community. How are you both doing, Randy?

              How kind of you, Dana, but you, and everyone in our caring community understanding and sharing are the reasons we exist. I’ve said it before – you are an eloquent and heartfelt writer and your support really means a lot. I was not looking for another lover right now when my friend called and I have ‘Boots’, at least for awhile :-). He has certainly cheered me, warmed my heart, and helped me move through the sadness and grief of losing my Beauty Girl. Pets and other life forms are truly amazing! Thank you, Dana, for being such a lovely part of Faithful Friends. {{Toni}}

                    Ann, I am so sorry. Anniversaries are hard. The memories of fun, loving times, coupled with the deep pain of loss. She was so beautiful and looks like my girl who died February 24th. I am so sorry for your pain.

                      Woof to that! What an adorable puppy! You are so much fun, Susan. THANK YOU 🙂

                        Oh Boy …. Boots climbed a tree! Fortunately it\’s not tall and I brought him down the first time, the second time, he came down himself. It\’s so different having a strapping, young cat 🙂

                          I am so sorry, Samantha. It IS very hard and it hurts. Dude was a very handsome fellow. How long has it been since you parted?

                            Well, that’s too bad, Dianne. What a pain and shame. Why do people do things like that? :-(…Our Facebook address is MYFaithfulfriends so you know. We work very hard here in our website to keep nefarious people and bots out. Keep us posted. And good luck!

                              Martha, you are so right – I said goodbye to my darling Feb. 24th and this week I got custody of a sweet, smart, big healthy young boy. A friends’ mother is unwell and when she returns home, I may have to give him back, but he’s brought me great joy and company. It’s helping me move through my grief. I thought I wasn’t “ready” for a new love, but I was wrong! I really hope he gets to stay with me, and I’ll keep everyone posted on developments. Did you use our FIND SERVICES tab to locate rescues and shelters in your area? Let us know what happens for you 🙂 Toni

                                @alldogsgotoheaven1967 Hello Lauryann, and welcome to our caring community of pet lovers. Please tell us about your pets and share photos if you like. Are you doing okay?

                              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 4 years, 7 months ago

                                Oh Susan, I know. I said goodbye to my beloved Beauty Girl three weeks ago tomorrow, and I know the pain that comes from a cellular level….. Buddy was soooo cute, and thank you for sharing his picture. We’d love to see more. I know I have hundreds of my girl and it’s hard to pick just one to express the many moods and expressions and joys…. It helped me so much to hold and pet a stuffed cat my Mother gave me years ago. Perhaps you would find comfort in that. We also provide “Cuddle Clones” – exact replicas of our pets: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/landing/
                                I swear, the morning after we parted the pain was so intense, I didn’t know how I’d get through it, and the stuffed animal really, truly gave me comfort. I had a photo of her made into a 16″ X 20″ canvas portrait, and that really shows all of her best features, and also brings me joy and comfort: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/pet-poster/
                                Susan, I am sincerely not trying to ‘sell’ you but sharing with you things that help me. It’s why our caring community exists – to understand and support one another during and through this most terrible of times. I hope knowing we care helps you, and I hope you share more with us. I will be thinking of you with sympathy and am sending you {{HUGS}} Toni
