💔Jean, it’s only been a few months since you said goodbye to Bradley and it is understandable that you and Sadie are still mourning his loss💔Perhaps you will join our kind group August 21st to talk about Bradley, and Sadie. It can help to share with people who understand. There is no set time for grieving and healing but I do hope that each day is a bit easier for you both.
I don’t know how old you are, but I had neighbors in their 80’s who only adopted senior dogs. Yes, they said goodbye to a n umber of them, but the sweet old pups had a loving last few years. Maybe you could consider that if it would help you, and Sadie. Is Sadie also about 13? If so, she may find a new fur friend stressful.
Jean, please continue to share here with us – we truly care and are here for you. Sending you hugs, Toni -

💔Jeannette, I am so sorry for your loss, and happy for the many years of fun and love you were lucky to share. It’s a shame our sweeties are only “on loan” to, never for long enough (forever wouldn’t be long enough). Are your other two mourning? I bet they are. I hope you all find comfort with one another, and that your memories bring you smiles before tears. Please keep us updated about how you are doing, and join our kind, supportive group August 21st if you’d like. The link to our monthly meetings is under the “Events”‘ tab on the right side of this page. With my sympathy, Toni -

💔😪Oh Suzanne, how heartbreaking. I am sharing tears with you as I write this and want you to know how special you are to care so much for so many loving little lives. It only takes a moment to fall in love, and a lifetime to cherish whatever time we are lucky to share. I adopted Walter when his human died and he was only with me five months. He was 15 and had a fast growing malignant tumor. I loved himdearly and I ache when I remember how sweet and wonderful he was, but, like you and Kalina, he had a loving, safe, comfortable, and I hope somewhat fun, end of life with me. It is good that you know how much better Kalina’s life was in your loving care, and I am glad you wrote such a heartfelt letter to her. Please light as many candles as you like for Kalina and Oliver. Please give Sebastian and the others hugs and pets from me. We are always here for you. I hope to see you again at the monthly meeting August 21st. I am thinking of you with sympathy. Toni -

Wow, Suzanne, you and your ittle darlings are going through so much. I am glad to hear that Kalina is feeling better, and that she and Sebastian are warming to each other😊You are so kind to open your home and heart to a senior kitty, and yes, it only takes a moment to fall in love💕I truly hope you can join us Thursday. You can stay as long or little as you like but I do think it helps to meet and share with those of us who care in this community. I would love to meet you and look forward to hearing your update 😻Toni

Jan, two weeks is not long to process the extreme grief, and very real changes in your life💔This is one of the hardest, most painful times of your life and I hope you will go easy on yourself, and take care of yourself. Something that may help you is to write notes to sweet Baebe telling her what she meant to you, how much you will always love and miss her……anything you would like to share with her. And, you might also write a note TO You, From Baebe with what you think she would want you to know. I sincerely hope you will join our online group meeting this Thursday. You will find kind friends who are there to support you. We start at 7PM Eastern, you can stay as long as you like, it’s free, and the link is easy to open. (It’s under “Events”). Jan, please keep posting here and let us know how you are doing. I hope to see you Thursday. Toni -

💔I am so sorry, Jacque💔Seeing our babies suffer is heartbreaking every moment, and trying to figure out what we can do to help them is a huge challenge. There can be a sense of relief that Sophie is no longer suffering, and peace knowing she has been released from her pain, but there is be a deep grief that she is no longer at your side💔Sophie will always be in your heart and I hope that you will, with time, find smiles before tears with her memories. Jacque, please join us this Thursday to share more about your life together. We meet on Zoom at 7PM Eastern. The link is under Events on the right side of this page. You are always welcome to share more photos and stories with us here, too. We are here for you, Jacque. With my deep sympathy, Toni. -

Oh Suzanne, how heartbreaking. You have purrrfectly expressed how difficult it is to assess what is best for our beloved babies. My vet says “better too early than too late”, but it is often so hard for us to know exactky how they are doing. You are a very kind, caring mom to open your home and heart to so many, and take such good care of them. I’m glad you’re going to the vet with Kalina and will let them guide you in the best path for her, even though it is so painful for you. That is the most loving, selfless act of a pet parent. It takes a minute to fall in love for a lifetime, and it hurts in a way nothing else can to say goodbye. We are here for, and with you, Suzanne. When you are up to it, please let us know how you are all doing. I will be thinking of you with hope, and sympathy. {{HUGS}} Toni -

Wow Jen, what a lovely story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It WAS meant to be – bringing you all together at just the right moment. Aren’t you kind to open your heart and home to Wally❤️And how fortunate to share ten wonderful years. I hope you can bring forth happy memories in your darkest moments, and find a smile before tears in recalling those times. Your pain is real. Your grief is a part of your ongoing love for Wally. With time, I hope your love, and the many joys you shared, outweigh the pain of parting. Jen, please join us on Zoom Thursday July 17th at 7PM EST. We are a kind, understanding group who are here to support you. You are welcome to share more stories and memories of Wally here anytime for as long as you like. Here is a {{BIG HUG}} for you. Toni
