05-24-2008 9:07 PM -- By: Martha, Critters.com memorial: Moca Memorial I am having a hard time right now. My heart is broken . All I do is cry for Moca and Max to come home. I feel horrible without them. I just cant seam to get out of bed anymore. I know I have to because I have to take care of my kids. When I go downstairs in the morning there is no Moca or Max to great me. I miss them so much. I feel like I am the one who killed Moca. If I had made sure the balls that my kids were playing with were big enough she would still be here today. My brithday won't ever be the same. I will just remember it as the day Moca had died in my arms. It won't be a happy day again.
I miss you Moca and Max so do the boys
05-24-2008 4:07 PM -- By: Carolyn Davidson, Critters.com memorial: Panda Bear Memorial Its not been long since I lost my little Panda Bear and an even shorter length of time since I lost my beloved mother.I will never forget that day just over 2 months ago when Mom passed away and my world was shattered. I know how strange this will sound but I believe that on Saint Patricks Day this year Panda was the still small voice in my ear that told me to rescedule the doctors appointment that I was supposed to go to that morning. And now I am glad that I did because if I had not done so I would not have been there at moms side when she took her last breath. I would not have seen Panda laying on the foot of moms bed as if to say "mommy its time to let Grandma come with me, She has lived long enough and now her tired broken body needs to go to Heaven and get fixed as best it can be fixed. Trust me you will see her again some day." I know that I am just giving in to a grieving mind but it feels like that was what I saw that day. I still wish that someone would wake me up from this nightmare and tell me that it was just that a nightmare that I will wake up tomorrow and pick up the phone and call mom and she will be there to talk to me.
05-24-2008 11:55 AM -- By: Karla, Critters.com memorial: Lucy Memorial I'm not entirely sure how to do this! Sorry - this is my first visit after creating Lucy's memorial. I've tried to read back and am not sure if this is one long running discussion or if we're simply here to help each other. We had to let Lucy go yesterday and I'm still reeling, sounds like everyone here knows that feeling as well. Thank you to whoever launched this site and bless all of you.
05-23-2008 9:50 AM -- By: Lauvern, Critters.com memorial: Luke Memorial Very well said Richard..I still feel the pain of almost a year ago when i lost my boy.At times it still is quite severe but i find i can smile more now. I loved him with all my heart when he was with me and i love him just as much now and always will..I take comfort in knowing he knew when he left me that he was loved,"maybe a bit spoiled" but that's okay.These babies show us so much love,it's so hard when they leave us. When he left me i wanted to go with him. If it wasn't for Critters and my dear friends such as yourself that have givin me so much support,i don't know how i would have stood the pain in the last eleven and a half months.Thankyou for all the support..You have helped me in dealing with the pain,I will be forever grateful.. It also helps knowing Luke is in no more pain and is cancer free now and i will see him again one day.,I agree with you as well Richard, time does help ease the pain,so for all the mommies and daddies who have lost their babies "HANG IN THERE" it does get easier but i must say ,i don't think the pain ever goes away totally.I know it won't for me. Thankyou Richard for all your postings and poems,you are so gifted to be able to write as you do. Hugs to all. Lauvern {Luke's mommy}

05-22-2008 5:00 PM -- By: Richard, Critters.com memorial: Dollie Memorial Today marks the eleventh month since my little baby Dollie left my side for Glory. As the dreaded one year anniversary date approaches, I miss and love her not one bit less than the day that she departed. As I reflect back on that day, I honestly felt as if the world had stopped turning. And at that time, I really wanted it to. I wanted to get off. But for all of the tears that I cried, for all of the days that I couldn't eat or function as a human being, even then, I had lived long enough to know in the back of my mind that it would get better. Of course at the time, no one, not even myself, could tell me so. (if that makes sense) I still visit Dot's memorial and her little resting place everyday. Most days, multiple times. Yesterday, I had my lunch with my little gurl at "her place." As I did, I talked to and smiled and even laughed with her. I didn't cry. Because I know that she's not in any more pain. I believe that she's well now. I believe that she's being taken excellent care of. I believe that she and I will be reunited again some sweet day. (this is just my belief) Oh sure, the tears still come. And they come with regularity. But for each and every tear that I shed now, I can honestly say "thank you Lord." I feel a sense of pride, thanksgiving, love, devotion, and honor for Dollie with each and every tear drop. For I can now clearly see that without them, I would have never experienced the greatest blessing of my life; being Dollie's daddy. I know that I've rambled on and on. I just wanted to say to all of you at Critters that have recently lost the love of your lives, please, just hold on. While I don't believe that time will heal your wounded heart completely, I do believe that it'll make you more thankful for the scar that's left behind. To each and everyone that reads this, please know that you've got a friend in me. Sincerely, Dollie's Daddy..;)

05-22-2008 11:02 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati and Yukon Jack Memorial Testing to see if this works out.
05-22-2008 6:59 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati and Yukon Jack Memorial Does anyone know enough about graphics to combine a picture of Nvwati and Yukon Jack so both their picures can be displayed on the new combined Memorial site I have for them? Please bear with me over the next few days while I work out a few glitches in combining the two memorial sites.
Yesterday Mkwaa and I picked up Yukon Jack's remains. He now sits on top of the fireplace along with Nvwai's urn. We had hoped to go to the beach today to honour Yukon Jack but the weather is not cooperating so it looks like it might be tomomorrow now.
My boys loved the beach so what the heck! Maybe we will bring both urns with us tomorrow.

05-21-2008 2:58 PM -- By: , Pet's name: F.Y.I. LAUVERN,
All I.D. numbers are "public" anyway. All you have to do is go to "any guestbook's **EDIT** page and it will tell you the pet's I.D. number. Changing it will not make it a "private number".
Thought this might help anyone who has this type of question.
It sure would be a great idea if they could be made "private".
05-20-2008 6:32 PM -- By: Max's Mom, Critters.com memorial: Max Memorial Max I can't keep going on without you. People just tell me your just a dog but your not. you where always there for me. I had you for 9 years. You helped me through so many things. but today right now i need you. The kids need you now they miss you alot.

05-20-2008 10:00 AM -- By: Max's Mom , Critters.com memorial: Max Memorial this morning around 7:26 my boys were playing with Moca. my youngest had a boncey ball and though it Moca got a hold of it and Moca grabbed the ball and began to choke on it. I did't know that this was happning at the time I was downstairs making breakfast.
05-18-2008 7:06 AM -- By: Amber, Critters.com memorial: Nvwati Memorial Max's Mom: Three weeks after my sweet Nvwati passed away I heard of Yukon Jack who so desperately needed a furever home. My other dog Mkwaa was grieving so bad the loss of her brother , refused to eat, wasn't interested in playing and paced the house looking for Nvwati. For these two reasons I agreed to take Yukon Jack. Nvwati and Yukon Jack looked a lot alike..... so much so that people who knew I had just lost my Nvwati would turn their heads when they saw me with Yukon Jack.
From the beginning I did my best not to think of Nvwati when I looked at Yukon Jack. Their personalities were totally different and I soon learned to love and respect Yukon Jack's ways. Instead of being a constant reminder of Nvwati, Yukon Jack soon brought me great joy, many laughs and our own precious memories.
Your boys were so upset when you lost Max. This new puppy will help them heal. It will help YOU heal as well. If you can, my suggestion is to allow it to be itself and not try to compare with Max. Good luck and congratulations on the newest addition to your family. Hugs
05-17-2008 10:33 PM -- By: Max's Mom, Critters.com memorial: Max Memorial I have been having a hard day today. Yesterday I brought a new puppy into my house. My kids are happy but i am not. The puppy looks so much like my Max. The markings are pretty much the same. The puppy just reminds me so much of Max when he was a little pup.
05-17-2008 7:34 PM -- By: Bobby Foster, Critters.com memorial: Oscar Memorial Sorry everyone. There has been a mistake on the entry under this one. The wrong number must have been hit to reflect the memorial of Oscar
05-17-2008 7:28 PM -- By: Bobby Foster, Critters.com memorial: JINGLES Memorial I miss you this day Oscar as the 2 -month mark has arrived since you left this world. I l know you have no more pain or suffering . I won't say goodbye because signs of you are around me to see everyday. I wrote my feelings today on Life after Oscar journel page to share with others the healing proccess. You know it doesn't seem like we will make it out of this..but some how some way we do. Some carry this more then others but time heals all wounds. I am still sad but am more at peace today then I ever have been. I am being thankful for what I have had and the memories of my boy Oscar . They will live on until I too will make that jouney to meet up and cross over to that special place of no more sorrow and no more tears, and where love flows freely for an eternity Peace to all that grieve and all who are broken hearted. Tears, saddness and sorow is what we have on earth. Our beloved pets have moved on to a better place where we can hope to someday make that journey as well. May we all find that peace we seek.
05-17-2008 9:45 AM -- By: Max, Critters.com memorial: Max Memorial I wan' to say I have got a new additon to my family. I got a german shepherd puppy. The breeder dropped her off yesterday night. They were relly going to be dropping her off this morning but we got her a day early. I have a few pitcures of her on Max's Memorial. I am hoping to get a few more pitcures of her later this week.
I hope everything is going ok with everyone.
05-16-2008 11:25 PM -- By: Ebony, Critters.com memorial: Ebony Turner Memorial Critter’s Friendship...
The true friends we meet at Critters are a very special kind. They pierce our shields and see within the corners of our minds. They're always there when we're in need with their power to perceive. They feel our pain...they offer hope and genuine concern. We bare our souls, expose our hearts and show our inner fears, and then before you know it our keyboard's stained with tears. If we could see them through that screen then no one could deny that to be a TRUE Critter’s friend they too must surely cry.
