Hi everyone I thought I would make this space for animal lovers who have lost their best friends. I have had many animals but there are some who mean more to me for some reason they just kind of click with you..... anyway one of mine was a little girl bun. here is a rose for her. always in my heart. 🌹

@Bunniekins @MissGremlin I also have said final farewell to lot of furry family over the years.
the one I miss the most is a very special cat, Billy. 🌈
from a kitten who was born in harsh outdoor environment without knowing the touch of a human hand and human love. A kitten deemed feral by a vet who became a very loving and loveable cat. A cat who would reach up with front feet asking to be picked up, to then wrap his front paws around my neck, be nestled in one of my arms, who purred in my ears and gave gentle head butts.

@Flutterbug9 big hugs to you sweetheart ❤️.
I had to put 4 dogs down in a 5 year period including 2 on the same day, but my last girl in 2024 was the hardest, she was only 3 years old. It's coming up to the 2nd year anniversary of her passing (26th March), she was my assistance dog and her name was Laylah 💔.

In memory of my dog Russell. He was the best dog and always knew when I was down and he would snuggle up next to me on the couch. And best of all, just like me, he greatly disliked my ex husband. He brought me so much comfort and happiness. He has been gone for 10 years and I still miss his companionship and the unconditional love that he showed me. I still and think of him from time to time. And it makes me sad that he is no longer here. 🌈🌹🦴🐕🐾
And also in memory of Jaki & Reggie who would also join me on the couch when I was down. Both Russell & Reggie had to be lying on me or touching me in some way.
🌈🌹🦴🐕🐾🐈⬛️😻🌈🌹
They all got on really well.

I’ve grown up with many pets over the years, I believe they can be so therapeutic and can teach us so many things.
im a cat person over a dog person and there aren’t many days I can remember where I haven’t had a cat by my side. But one holds a special place in my heart. I got Custard during a really tough period in my life and quickly became my best friend. On my bad days he was never far from me, often spending days at a time curled up next to me in bed. He was 10 when he passed and I was absolutely devastated.
thanks @Bunniekins for starting this thread

Awww @MissGremlin Laylah is gorgeous. So sorry for your loss. And being your assistance dog is even a bigger loss.
