Welcome to the Pet Memorial Group
Please have comfort in knowing that your pet is with you in your heart and memories forever. Somehow this thought gives me peace deep down, and I hope it does for you too. If you would like to light a virtual candle in your pet's name, follow this link. It's very comforting. Just cut and paste into your browser address bar if the link isn't clickable:

My first thansgiving without my little man by my side. Chuppa honey I know you are up there and I am down here with the other two 'children' . It seems so strange still and it has only been 3 months. I still cry for you and I still walk the floors looking for you. I miss the couch cuddle session we had together with you purring while on my chest and ever so gently thumping your tail on my side. I miss the evening cuddle times we had together in the bed just ever being so tender and nice. I miss the belly rubs I used to give you every so often, Just to her you purr your thanks and then jumping up into bed and cuddling with me for a night of sleep. Now I toss and turn with out you by my side.

It certainly does. I find it very hard especially volunteering at a sanctuary, it is so upsetting when we loose them, especially if they are only young and not even had a life.
Same from me guys, thinking of you and your beloved pet familiesxxxxx

- My heart goes out to you at this sad time. I lost one of my foster babies and all she and her brother wanted was to be hugged and loved. Unfortunately I wasn't there at the time she died and it broke my heart, as I took more than a shine to these two. I am just glad that I spent all my time loving her and cuddling her. She died Friday just gone. She was only 3 months old and we didn't even know she wasnt well. RIP Baby girlxxx

Jasmine,
I can't believe this will be our first Thanksgiving without you here in our lives.
Our first one in thirteen years. Tears will be shed as I quietly remember how you sat there ever so patiently while Daddy carved the turkey the night before, no matter how long it took.
Your eyes fixed on his every move. Your eyes never left him. Waiting for any morsel, any crumb to accidently fall for you to clean up.
I had to release you from your pain 09-04-09 created by the drug I gave you.
For this I am truly sorry.
Your eyes told me you could take no more.
You were telling me 'it was time'.
I will forever miss you Jasmine.
I will never forget the memories you left me.
The void will always be there.
Rest in peace my sweet baby girl.
Free from pain.
Free to eat again.
Free to wonder thru the flower beds again.
Sleep well my baby girl at The Rainbow Bridge.
Love, Mom
