Hi, my name is Vikki. I am new. 2 weeks ago, I lost my beloved 7 year old cavalier king charles spaniel , George to congestive heart failure . We got George for my son, Ryan when he was 10. Ryan had always wanted a dog, but my cat was afraid. When my cat died, I searched for the perfect dog and found him. George was spoiled rotten, he ate with a fork, he had severe separation anxiety and went everywhere with us. We got a kitten as well, Major Anthony Nelson and they were best friends . We took George in for his check up and he was diagnosed with a stage 3 heart murmur. He had been to the vet a month earlier . I had multiple condults, multiple meds tried. My son left for the seminary as George was diagnosed. He lasted 2 weeks and was in stage 6. The Dr. Said he was dying, he could not breathe, and we put him to sleep. I have lost many cats , this is my first dog. I believe in some ways, George was sent to my son as an angel. My son was home schooled and did not have many friends. It just seems strange he died when my son left. I miss my baby George so much. I pray he is free of pain.
Thank you for listening .

Hi, Vikki, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. I'm so smiling at your memories of your beloved Toni as she reminds me so much of my beloved feline companion Eli. Eli was a "street" kitten before I adopted him, so he was very "efficient" with his hunting prowess. He was allowed outside on a long tether to enjoy his woodsy yard, and many a time he would bring in various creatures to let loose in the house and then "hunt" - - some of them being Black Snakes still very much alive. So I started keeping an old broom at the door and when he would bring in one of his "prizes" I would sweep it back out the door and then quickly close the door so that he couldn't go out and retrieve it - - much to his dismay. It was my beloved Eli who helped me get over my dire fear of snakes - - at least Black Snakes, but my preference is still "live and let live".

I hope today is treating you and your precious Major Nelson kindly, Vikki, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved George's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you and your precious Major Nelson are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
