01-11-2010 3:04 AM -- By: Stefanie, Pet's name: N/A Dear Friends of Critters,
I am not writing because I have lost a pet (yet)... I love my Sam the Dog, Big MAK the dog, George the Cat and Lucky the Cat more than any words could express. I am writing to tell everyone here, your kindness to my friends, who have lost pets recently, is beautiful.
Recently, Nathan the Cat and Sophie the Dog were set free of this world and even though they had lived long, wonderful lives, their deaths have caused enormous grief. I wanted to thank everyone who gives their love so unconditionally, to the parents of our wonderful animals because the emptiness left behind is almost unbearable.
There is nothing so sweet as having another person help with such tremendous grief. Your words have comforted my friends and your prayers have given them the ability to see through this grief and know that in time the pain will turn to memories of joy.
I don't know anyone who reads here, writes here or listens here and it seems like we all know each other. I do know that because of your kind words and loving thoughts, not only am I blessed, I am a better person.
always,
Stefanie
01-09-2010 5:47 PM -- By: Lisa - Long Island, NY, Critters.com memorial: Sheeba Memorial An ironic thing happened last night when we took Coqui to the vet. When we walked out of the exam room after Coqui had been put to rest there was a couple in the waiting room with their Rotti and I asked the couple through my tears if the dog was friendly and if we could pet the dog? There response was "yes" so my son and I pet the dog. I then asked what the dogs name was.... and there response was "Sheeba"!! I felt it was a sign sent from Sheeba it was such a coincidence!!
01-08-2010 6:01 PM -- By: Lisa & Family, Critters.com memorial: Sheeba Memorial Just to let you all know that we have decided that the time has come for Sheeba & Coqui and all your angels to reunite. Below is a little note from me written to Sheeba from her friend of 13 years
Dear Sheeba, It seems the time has come for me to see you again. I know you and all your new friends at Rainbow Bridge (soon to be our new friends) will be waiting! I am very excited to see you again after almost 6 long months without you. Meet me there around 7pm tonight as that is when Mom, Dad, Matt and Danielle will reunite us. They are very sad but they know that we will once again be together. I will bring kisses, hugs and some treats for all!! See you later tonight I know you will be waiting!
Your Pal, Coqui
01-08-2010 10:58 AM -- By: marlene, Critters.com memorial: Sammie Patterson Memorial A very heartfelt and huge THANK YOU to all who have left messages over the holiday season and on Sammie's 1st Angelversary. Sadly, I have not been a regular vsiitor in many, many months. It's not that I don't care. It is too heart wrenching and overwhelming. Please know that I keep all of the critters family in my prayers and am forever thankful for all of you for helping me through some of the darkest days of my life. Know that you and your fur babies are much loved.
01-07-2010 9:58 PM -- By: Carole and Buster, Critters.com memorial: Maggie Mae Memorial First, thank you all again so much for keeping Buster in your prayers.
He is not doing as well as I'd hoped after his "third hydrate/med combo boost" on Tuesday. He has not vomited and is still knibbling on food and drinking water. He has extremely strong sulfur smelling breath, which the doctor said is associated with his kidney issues. He is not at the stage "today" where I am ready to make a decision. I will not allow him to sufer so I am still taking it day by day.
I asked the doctor if he thought Buster is suffering. He stated that if he is not vomiting and is still eating he is probably not suffering at all. Accute kidney problems cause a low red blood count, which in turn causes anemia. Anemia causes him to be lethargic so he sleeps quite a bit. In my heart, I know I do not have long.
I take him back to the doctor again this Saturday the 9th. He will be hydrated under the skin, which only takes about 20 minutes rather than an IV where he would have to be kept at the clinic all day. The doctor and I both agreed that his quality of life is best at home.
Your prayers are appreciated! I have to close now so I can get back to cuddling with my dear little son. Love to all, Carole
01-05-2010 9:13 PM -- By: Laura, Critters.com memorial: Dale Memorial Today I took Carley to the vet after getting up every hour on the hour to let her out last night . . . not much sleep. Dr. Heinen and I were talking about Dale and he told me that Dale was the main topic of conversation at a recent conference in Houston, I think, for veterinarians regarding prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is very, very rare in neutered dogs so Dale's case was reviewed at the conference - it brought a smile to my face because my first thought was maybe Dale helped in his own way . . . even if in just a very small way! And btw, as it turns out, Carley had a bladder infection.
Please continue to keep our friend, Carole, and her little guy in your prayers . . .
01-05-2010 8:58 PM -- By: Dorothy, Critters.com memorial: Baci Memorial I wanted to thank all the wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting on this wonderful site by their messages on Baci's page. It's amazing how you can become friends with people you've never met. Thank you for your support on days when I was feeling down. Thank you for being thoughtful,compassionate kind and wonderful friends this past year. Baci will be having his 10th month angel day on the 20th, God knows where all these months went. May you all have a Happy Healthy New Year. Dorothy, Baci's Mom.......
01-05-2010 2:48 PM -- By: Bev B, Critters.com memorial: Klaus Memorial I would like to thank everyone who left birthday wishes for my Klaus. I can't tell you how thoughtful and sweet everyone is here. Critters.com was a life saver for me when Klaus passed away 2.5 years ago and I still miss him as much as ever.
Also, I want to extend my prayers to Carole and Buster. I know how difficult this is for you Carole, but just know that I am praying that God gives you the strength and courage that is needed to get through this tough time. I wish I could give you a hug right now. Peace be with you my friend....
01-04-2010 10:55 PM -- By: Sandi, Critters.com memorial: Dawson Memorial Many many many thanx to all of you who have spoken such kind & supportive words. It has meant so very much. As pain slowly fades we replace those tears with joys we all shared with our furry children. May they truely rest in God's arms until we meet again. For all of you who hear my pain, I know too you have felt much the same and we are far better people for having their precious love as part of our lives. God bless you all & thank you again. SANDI C FROM PA
01-04-2010 9:51 PM -- By: Carole Turner, Critters.com memorial: Shabba Lou Turner Memorial You are some AMAZING people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are really not enough words to describe just how amazing. Sharon and Marc, thank you again for providing this place for us where we gather with some of the most wonderful people in the world and walk through our grief together.
After losing my third angel Maggie Mae this past August, I was thinking I could "begin" to repair my broken heart before I had to think about saying goodbye to another one of my angels. Well, Doctor Guajardo called me at work today about Buster...not good news. He was at the clinic on IV's all day again and is not doing any better. I pick him up tonight at 7:15 to come home and rest with us.
I will take him back tomorrow morning for one more "boost" and, if he does not improve by tomorrow night I will have my answer. I need to know in my heart that I did every single thing I could do for my precious little boy.
Dear God in heaven, please carry me. I am weak....so weak.
I love you all! A very proud mom, Carole
01-04-2010 2:34 PM -- By: Maureen, Critters.com memorial: sweep Memorial
I wanted to share this Native American prayer: I give you this one thought to keep-- I am with you still, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone-- I am with you still, in each new dawn

12-30-2009 11:46 AM -- By: Charles, Critters.com memorial: Sammy Memorial
To ALL My Dearest Critters Family ... I take this time to wish each of you and your families a wonderful New Year. May you all be blessed with good health and prosperity.
Each of you have given me friendship and I will always cherish that friendship ... for if it was not for all of you who visited my babies' memorial and always your kind words .. I don't know if I would be here today. As most know, my babies are "my everything" and when Sammy headed to Rainbow Bridge ... I thought I would go with him because we shared a love that I have NEVER shared with another human .... He loved me unconditionally and I loved him to the very end and will continue to love him, Gabby and Bob M a/k/a Macaroni. Each of them gave me their own "special" love.
Thank You again for being my Critters Family ... and I hope you know that I appreciate each of youl.
Charles, Cupcake and Xander .... sending HAPPY NEW YEAR'S wishes to all.
12-29-2009 11:30 PM -- By: Fran, Critters.com memorial: Sydney Justine Memorial I am very thankful that my friend Christine told me of this site. She is the mom of Missy Bear. You have all helped to ease my pain and my loss by your kind words. Thank you for the poem as well. I am sure you know that I cry when I read your comments and your poem, but it a good cry. A cry that hopefully sends my teardrops to kiss my sweet Sydney's face and let her know that her mommy thought and thinks of her every day......and she knows, my mom kissed me today, and sends her love and hugs my way, and then she runs and plays with her friends in heaven, and knows that one day I will walk across the bridge to hold her once again.......and our love will be as before--- total and complete. With much love to all of you, and my prayers and thanks
Fran/ Sydney's mommy forever
