Thanks for your kind words, Liz.

Yes, those of us who love our fur babies know that heartbreak is inevitable. And you comment that it is a privilege to have them in our lives! That is exactly how we feel.

Thanks again for taking the time to write that sweet note. It is very much appreciated.

Hugs, Lynn

Oh Karen, I hear you.

Sid and Sam sound wonderful! They are clearly living their best lives with you. And We also took in a feral kitten years ago and she was a hot mess!

We all know that when we adopt a pet, we accept that heartbreak will be in the relatively near future. It’s a part of the deal, they just don’t live long enough. That said, those four-legged loves enrich our lives and so we keep going back in, knowing the eventual outcome.

Thanks for your kind condolences.

Good Morning Joy,

What a lovely message. I completely believe that it is an honor to love and be loved by a dog! They are just such perfect beings…we should all be that good. I know she is feeling better and I know she will be waiting at that Bridge for us!

Have a great day,

Lynn

Good Morning Jan,

I totally understand your husband’s hesitation…it is only natural to try to avoid heartbreak. Louie was clearly a member of your family, too. It’s just tough!

I do know we will get another pup, but not for a bit. We do have a cat and I think she is quite lonely now without Flora.

Thanks so much for your condolences! Having this blog is keeping my mind from dwelling, it is a very good thing!

Hi Lyn,

The silence of the house is tough, isn’t it!? You don’t realize what a presence those furry balls of love have! And aren’t those in-home vet services worth their weight in gold?! What a blessing and gift for their final moments, to be in the home they love and are comfortable in when they cross the rainbow bridge.

Thanks again for your kind thoughts.

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your kind condolences.

They surely do take a piece of our hearts! And we are comforted by knowing that she knew we loved her hard! She was a princess and was treated as such.

She will always remain a part of our family and we have wondeful memories of her.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Sue,

Thanks so much for your very kind remarks. It is such a hard thing to do, but you are correct, the right thing to do.

I guess we all know that when we adopt a pet, we accept that heartbreak will be in the relatively near future; they just don’t live long enough. It’s a part of the deal. That said, those four-legged loves enrich our lives and so we keep going back in, even knowing the eventual outcome of a broken heart.

Thanks again for your condolences. Flora will always remain in our hearts!

Hugs, Lynn

Hi dear Rosalie,

Two within two weeks! Bless you; you have two kitty sized holes in your heart! I’m not sure those holes will ever completely heal, but I think I’m o.k. with always having a Flora sized hole in mine. But I can say we have already had some smiles about her following her death, which is a good thing.

Thanks again for your kind condolences and sending wishes for your mended heart.

Hugs, Lynn

Hi Mary,

Thanks so much for your kind words. You are very right; it is so hard, but it was the right thing to do for her. She will always remain a part of the family and we have many wonderful memories of and with her.

Hugs, Lynn
