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:

Comment by JanieAnn Love on June 26, 2008 at 3:43pm - When I went thru a divorce my exhusband wouldnt take care of my 6 cats for a few weeks till I came back to get them and they had to be put down. They were my babies. I miss them very much and it still breaks my heart today and it was 2 years ago. I have 7 new cats now along with other animals if you have seen my page you know. But they cant replace my 6 babies I lost.

I've had a few dogs in my life time.
All were family owned pets.
When they passed it was due to normal ageing conditions.It was sad none the less, but I think because they were brought up and shared by the whole family it made losing them a bit easier.
When my Rottie (KUMA) died from someone poisoning her it was real hard (still is).
She died in 2005 at the young age of six.
I raised and trained her by myself in my own home. It was primarily just her and I.
I didn't think writing this would be as hard as it has been.
Thanks for providing a place for me to post.

It's very hard for me to lse a pet
But I just have to remember that their in a better place and I couldn't ask for a more better place for them to live in
And I know that they are going to look after me just like they would if they were still alive and they love the same and I will love them the same also.

Comment by meagan barroso on June 18, 2008 at 8:32am - I have lost several pets over the years, and each one hurt in a different way, I can not say I know how you feel but I am very sorry for your loss, my cat died this morning and he was the sweetest thing, he would let my six month old hold him and "pet" him and he never got annoyed with her, I think he was poisoned, I have people telling me to drop it, but I refuse to, what do you guys think?
