Personally I wouldn't worry what your family may or may not think about the new furbaby. What matters is you and the lil one improving life for one another in the way we do ♡ grieving is an individual process and unique to each person. And doesn't have to exclude love or new companions
Our old girl dog made it to 16, but she ended up being in major kidney failure that we missed and stopped wanting to eat. It was hard making the decision, because even with everything she was still a bright and silly girl
Thank you guys for talking to me again. It all came up so suddenly and it hurts so much. But I think that this cat is going to need me, in the long run, and I'm going to need her, too. I'll continue with the adoption, even if my family tries to say I'm replacing Merlin
Maverick, That's how I felt when I lost my baby, Louise. I loved that cat so dearly. But when she passed, I didn't feel ready for a new cat until very recently, when I put in papers for the new cat. Then life punched me in the gut again. I hope my family doesn't get the wrong idea by this new cat
Versa, I feel that more than you know My old girl had a tumor in her spleen that burst. Had the surgery to save her. 4 months later she had lung cancer. I choose to put her to sleep. Mentally she wasn't ready to go. But her body was saying it was time.
Elf, My other rescue cat passed away, I think three years ago now? The new adoption papers were put in a month ago, very long before my dog showed any signs of anything. But with the timing, I guess I'm beating myself up a little
Versa The cat situation. I know that feeling because I did something similar. It felt more like my first cat sent this second one to be my buddy and keep my happy like she had done. You're not being irrational. You're still grieving and that's okay. Maybe the new kitty will help in ways you dont know
Versa I don't think so. When my old dog passed away, we weren't going to get a dog for quite a while. But ended up going to look at the shelter, a few years later because the house just felt empty.
Thank you guys. I do believe it was the right choice. He had a massive tumour, and three new growths in his brain. That's what caused the seizure. He never showed any signs of pain, but considering the size of the one in his abdomen, I think he was hiding it for me. And I feel terrible
He ran a hand through his hair and rubbed his face with his hand before standing and stretching,already mumbling about something.Caden went downstairs,brewing himself a mug of coffee.
