Many of us here have a lost a beloved companion and for many, like me, this will be the first holiday season without them. It's a very difficult and sad time. But, PLEASE remember that there are still thousands of deserving dogs, cats and other pe...
Marina, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that here you are welcomed to express your sorrow, your grief, your anger. We all understand. In time you will know that Tess is now at The Rainbow Brdige running free from pain.
My thoughts and pr...
When I lost my little Tess, I couldn't believe time has come! She was 14, and she was never without me; Tess followed me on my trips to Europe, I came to US from Romania with this little baby. She was a schnoudle, from mother schnauzer and father ...
Ashley Ashley, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Scooter sure was an adorable looking boy and I know you're in a great deal of shock right now. I lost my lab mix just a few months ago to hemolytic anemia. First, know that it's okay to cr...
Mary Ellen, I'm so enraged at this! I hope you will pursue whatever legal avenues you can to make the police department accountable. If nothing else, seems they didn't have the right to forcibly enter your home without a warrant. You might want to...
Cheryl; I'm so sorry about Jasmine. Boo was on ProIn almost all of her life. Apparently, labs and lab mixes are predisposed to incontinence problems. As far as I know, it never contributed to any serious health problems for her. For the last 2 yea...
DiAnn, I know exactly the experiences you are feeling. The emptiness, the void., the anger. I lost my beloved Jasmine, 09-04-09, when I had to help her cross over The Bridge. Jasmine gave us 13 years of unconditional love and devotion. She did not...
Your idea of putting your grief to work is a good one. You are an excellent writer....perhaps one day you could write a book for grieving pet owners? Of the thousands of books at my local hospice, there is only one (tiny book) on pet loss! I thoug...
I lost the best companion a person could ask for on 9/9/09. Boo was 9 years old and contracted IMHA. Her daddy and I escorted her from her pain and sent her to the Rainbow Bridge. I have cried, for myself and for those whose stories I've read here...
Michelle and Paul; my thoughts and best wishes are with you both and with everyone here who has lost a loved companion. The days seem to have 'holes' in them, don't they? I still long to see my gentle giant waiting for me to come in the door at th...
Paul, Wow... I didn't realize that you lost Webster on 9/9/09. I lost my Boo on the SAME DAY to the SAME DISEASE! (IMHA). How are you and your wife doing? Hard to believe today is two months to the day that we both lost our most beloved friends. I...
Dsnake My deepest sympathy to you Dsnake on the loss of your dear friend, Buddy. I don't know off-hand what may have caused his sudden turn for the worse, but I'm confident that you did the right thing. 19 years!? That's a great run and I'm sure y...
Karla; there is nothing "foolish" about your grief or the way in which you honored Seteva's birthday. I think it was a very sweet and thoughtful thing to do. It is soon coming up on the one month anniversary of my dear Boo's passing (9/9/09) and I...
Dear Kim; You poor thing! I'm so, so, sorry for these losses you and your family are enduring. I can't find the words...
Please update us on how you are doing and know that you are NOT ALONE.
Dear Michelle; thank you so much for your very kind words. Much appreciated. My sincerest condolences to you for Tristan's loss. It's true that when we decide to adopt an animal , (be it cat, dog, bird, guinea pig, horse...etc) they DO become fami...
I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.
I use the worlds best kitty litter, A corn based litter for my automatic kitty box. It is super, it never comes out of the litter box., I do not have to use mats. It also is an amazing price, 7.99 and it lasts about a month. It is super good for t...
It is absolutely pathetic to view a vet as someone who purposely tries to harm pets. I am not a Saint, far from it. However, everyone makes a mistake, especially interns. For heavens sakes, if he thinks he does not make mistakes, or everyone is pe...
Do not give any vitamin supplements to your cat, unless prescribed by a physician. Vitamins can convert to oxalic acid and modifies into oxalate.
The prevention of future stones can be a little more difficult as Cricket my kitty can also have anot...
