Isn’t it different, Lori, how the tears just come on, and from deep within? Little things can trigger memories and sometimes, tears. I hope you also find smiles when thinking of Snowball. Thank you for your support and sympathies. It means a lot to know our community really understands. I’m sending you a {{HUG}}

Your baby was so precious. I’m so sorry that you’re dealing with this grief. Please remember that between hello and goodbye there was so much love. Don’t be afraid to rescue a deserving dog, not to replace your lost furbaby, but to help you heal. Sending you prayers for peace for your soul, healing thoughts 🙏💭🙏💭🙏💭 and many Pug hugs from my senior rescue Pug Grunt-Grunt and myself. Lean on the people here. Toni is phenomenal when it comes to support. She’s amazing. -

Hi everyone, sorry I have not kept updated. I had Covid back in January so Syrus Stayed with a friend while I was in the hospital. I came home but I had to be on oxygen for a month so she kept Syrus for me. He did come to see me but every time he came to see me, and he saw that oxygen tank he would panic. Syrus has separation issues, and he is also very skittish. If something makes a loud noise, falls or high wind, Syrus goes into panic mood. He starts shaking, and hides behind me. I believe that he was abused, because he’s got spots over his body where he’s missing hair. It looks like somebody might’ve been using him as a target with a bb gun.He was also deserted during hurricane Irene in Florida. When he first came to me, he was petrified of all people. He was always friendly with other animals and kids. Now he’s getting used to people. I also have Hex the cat who was feral, and who stayed with me through the whole Covid situation. My friend did take care of him while I was in the hospital, but could not take her to her house because Hex likes to claw. Even though I have claw pads for him, he still goes around scratching anything that is wood, and my friend has some expensive furniture. He is a very friendly cat, and loves to be rubbed. I have a lot of windows in this mobile. Hex is now an indoor cat, and he loves the windows. I live in a mobile park with a lot of trees so he gets to see squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and foxes. Plus a lot of birds. He runs from window to window to watch them. The only thing he doesn’t like is water and when things fall. I love them both very much, and I missed Syrus a lot when he was with my friend, even though Hex was here to comfort me. Everyone have a great day

Geri, I want you to know how much your thoughtful story is helping me right now. I am living with Boots, the 2 1/2 year old cat of a friends’ mother who is in temporary assisted living. It’s very hard to think of Boots going back to her one day, and your story really helps me know how much she misses him, and he probably her. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your touching history with Syrus and Hex. This is one of the reasons our community is here – to support and celebrate together. I am sending three {{BIG HUGS}}. Toni

Hi everyone hope all of you are doing well

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

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, i believe that her knowing what was happening that day was a gift to me. One that I treasure. Making her last da as special as I could was not only for her, but it was for me. It made what happened easier for me to take. When I lost Bear it was a surprise, I didn’t know that it was coming and couldn’t prepare for it. In fact I still have a problem with the way that day went down. I was working and sent Bear to the vet for the first time without me. My fiance took him. The vet told him that Bear was in excruciating pain and the only option was to put him down. It upset jim so much that he let the vet push him into putting him down right there and then. Before I was notified or was given the chance to say wait at least until I get there. I was told about it after the fact, after he’d been put down. I still harbor ill feelings towards him for this fact. Bear was MY world. The only reason I’m alive today, and I was denied the chance to be there… -

I’m having trouble doing this, I’ve been wanting to re-read my earlier posts, but am unable to do so. Am I doing something wrong? Or are they too old? Toni please help if you can. Thanks. -

Opening your heart and life to another kitty will probably be very therapeutic for you. I know that doing so has helped heal my broken heart twice now. Just remember that you’re not replacing your furbaby, nothing can do that. I hope that your search goes well and that you find your next kitty soon. I have faith that you’ll be able to be happy again with your new love. Good luck. -

That’s ok Tani, I’ve posted on 3 different occasions and other than Toni I haven’t received received any response. But I posted anyway because it is theraputic for me to write about my animals. Maybe my posts are just too long. But I’ve got a lot to say, and Toni does respond to me. -

The 11th of February was 3yrs since I lost my Ladiebug. That was such a hard day, letting her go broke my soul. She had mammary cancer that had spread to her lungs and heart. This made it hard for her to breathe and she’d become lethargic due to her heart. But even so every morning about 5am she’d wake us up for her walk if we weren’t already up. Our walks got shorter and slower at the end, but she still got so excited to go. I knew that the cancer was really starting to affect her, but she stayed this beautiful, happy girl till the end. Her last was spent doing all her favorite things. After her walk I made her a special breakfast of chicken with strawberries, blueberries, cheese and pumpkin. After which she and I shared a bowl of her favorite cereal, Captain Crunch with crunch berries, bite for bite. And of course she finished off the leftover milk. I then took a washcloth and wiped her fur down and gave her a thorough brushing. Then I sat on the floor next to her and gave her a very long, gentle massage from head to tail. Halfway through she leaned over putting her full weight on me with a soft grruufffft escaping as she collapsed into my arms. We layed on her bed and took a nap together for about an hour or so. I wrapped her up in my arms, holding her with my head on her chest I listened to her heartbeating so strong. We spent some time out in the yard where she made her rounds, sniffing everything throughly, as if she knew this was to be her last time doing it. I believe that she knew that it was her last day here with me, in the place she’d come to love. For lunch she had roast beef, cottage cheese and King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls. (She loved all bread, but those were her favorite and I always shared them with her bite for bite) and for dessert she got a big bowl of fresh whipped cream. We cuddled on the couch and watched Homeward Bound, her favorite movie and napped until a few friends and their dogs came by to say goodbye. She was lavished with…[Read more]

Dana, I had to take a day or so to reply to your absolutely moving, heartfelt, loving tribute to Ladiebug. You have a talent for story sharing that is touching and inspirational. There is always pain in parting, but knowing Ladiebug was ready to find peace and relief was a gift back to you, do you think, for the kindness, caring and love you shared. I hope you find it comforting to share with us – we find comfort in knowing others in our community understand and truly care for one another. If you like, your tribute can be part of a lasting Memorial for Ladiebug: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/memorials/
It’s also so very thoughtful of you Dana, to reach out to others with your kind and caring words of encouragement and sympathy. I am glad you are friend of Faithful Friends, and look forward to hearing more from you, and about Grunt-Grunt :-). {{BIG HUGS}}. Toni -
