This is mostly just for me to get out some of the emotions I've been feeling the past few days. Monday I had to make the horrible decision to have my sweet, sassy, furry best friend euthanized. I've had her for 12 years. I noticed late on Friday that she hadn't eaten all day, which wasn't that unusual because on warm days sometimes she wouldn't eat until it cooled off some in the evening. The...

I lost my boy Freddy 3 months ago. He was the first pet I have had who was just mine and I loved him so much, I didn't even know you could love something so much. I adopted a new cat on the weekend. He's gorgeous and sweet and playful and he's just not Freddy. And I know no one ever will be and I want to love him as much as I loved Freddy but I'm just having trouble bonding with him. I can't help...

Hi all, I am new to all this so please bear with me! I guess I should start from the beginning really. We got our first family pet in 2010, Dad came home from work one evening and said his work mates partner was having to get rehome her cavalier as her new flat landlord didn't allow pets, so Dad said when would we like to go and view him. We set the date and it came round pretty fast! We all...

It's been one week and 3 days since I put my dog Gidget to sleep. Without going into her back story, let's just say that I cried multiple times that - before I drove her to the vet's office, once at the vet's office at least twice, once in the car before driving home, and once after seeing her dog walker cry. But since that day I don't think I've cried for her, and it feels wrong. I loved Gidget...

It's been exactly 3 months since I lost my beautiful boy Freddy. I wonder if I'll ever stop crying about him. I'm not going to have children so he was my baby. He was the creature I channeled all my love into and I have so much love to share. I started filling out an adoption form for a new cat tonight but I just ended up in tears. I know it will help to have someone to love again. I know no one...

My Coco is gone. He bought so much joy into my life. My heart is so very very sad. I will love him forever. My friend and companion.

I put her down Monday morning because she was too far gone and was in pain and I didn't want to be selfish and just keep her for me. I keep crying, this is really hard.

I am glad I was able to get in with new user name but want my old one back....

Dogs Carmen is in front, Doc in distance. They were pointing a bird I put out in launching trap for hunting training. The bird isn't hurt it is tossed up into air w remote control and it flys back to pigeon coupe. Carmen died April 1, 2009, Doc died Jan. 5, 2014 if memory serves me correctly. Current photo is my avitar, but it is in my photos too if the avitar got changed when you read this!

Have you ever had a cat that just wants to be near you all the time? So loving and affectionate. Sweet-natured and gentle. He just came into my life one day and never left. He wanted out a couple of nights ago. When I called him before going to bed he didn't come. Feeling uneasy, I went to bed. He didn't come the next morning for breakfast. I knew something was wrong. I called for him...

I lost my Bella Jean a week ago due to a tragic accident. Can't stop crying and feeling it's my fault I wasn't there to help her. I wake up everyday and she is the first thing I think of, and cry. I miss her sweet face greeting me and making me feel loved.

My cat Mona was hit by a car pretty much right outside our driveway on Saturday night. We discovered her body early on Sunday morning when I was taking my partner to work. We both saw her at the same time, cried "no!" and jumped out the car and ran over to her. There was this old man stopped right by her, looking at her with the saddest look on his face. My husband and I were just crying, I was...
