Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
We lost our dog Angel unexpectedly back in November.
Now it looks like our cat Tiger might be in his final days. He is 13 years old and has had lymphoma for the past year and half. (We've been doing the chemo meds at home.)
The vets say that out of all the feline lymphoma patients they've had, our cat has survived the longest.
For the past few days he's stopped eating and has dropped a lot of weight. (Just like he did when he was first diagnosed back in 2009.) My husband took him to the vet today where they ran a battery of tests but didn't find anything wrong. The next step is an xray on Monday to see if they can spot any tumors.
I've been told to "be prepared." Ugh.........gonna be a LONG weekend.........

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Hang in there!
Hugs to you,

I am so happy that he is doing better,

Blessings to you Jan.
My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Thanks to you all for your concern and kindness. Blessings to you all.
He's been searching, now given up, sitting woith me. Seems so sad and let down he couldn't find brother.
