I think that's a great idea! Perfect for so many situations, and helps keep you company at all times. I hope that works out, because that would be a huge help with anxiety!
That's the danger of giving yourself a stranger, you've gotta' control that numb wrist!
Unfortunately it wasn't that epic. I walked into a steel overhead garage door while taking out the trash. Started coming down on me and I didn't notice.
Geez, that's a definitely oh shit moment! Stupid Canadian doors...I hope it apologized!
It is not so much about starting fresh. I need something to motivate me and comfort me, I need to be encouraged to leave the house. The way I am feeling right now because of losing Twig, I just don't want to end up depressed or stuck in another bout of agoraphobia.
Me too. I don't want to feel stuck because of my anxiety, especially not right now. I can't even walk through the house right now without sobbing.
Agreed, you should be free to move around and do something anxiety
The same does apply to me and my mom too! but atleast it wasnt my fault at all (cus i got put into a psycahtry the day she died) so i didnt blame myself! (could also be my weird asperger way of seeing death) but im so sorry for you and twig! i mean i wasnt ever given wrong medicaments of this type but i was often mistreated by profesionals too so i can feel your anger! these vet dudes are terrible!
I have very similar scars from one of my cats, I like to think of them as love markings. She's a very stand-offish cat, so she shows affection in her own way and...well...I took that as one of her ways
. That's a great way to look at those scars, a reminder of all you two went through together, a permanent reminder of your love for him and his love for you.
Another benefit of having a cat is you get free tattoos for life. lolI have very similar scars from one of my cats, I like to think of them as love markings. She's a very stand-offish cat, so she shows affection in her own way and...well...I took that as one of her ways
That's fantastic, I hope you do manage to get one of them (have to admit, a mustachio'd cat would be pretty amazing
. Agreed, I hope they're young enough to be trained and that this will work out, because I think it's an absolutely fantastic idea. Hoping for the best for you and your hopefully new support cat
It was $300 but it was worth it. The company that did Joey's gave a nice box as well but a bit different and just a paw on a heart. Had to pick it up as well. The delivery is included with this new company. It makes things so much easier. They included the rainbow bridge poem and a book to help with grieving too.That is an absolutely gorgeous box, I'm glad they gave you that, the paw print and the fur. It's nice to have them as momentos of the great times you had. Brock showing his mummy he loves her, too, what a good boy
Well worth the expense, when we lost Coleman a year ago we didn't even get the choice from the vet we went to, it was just a plastic container....really impersonal service...I'm glad you had the option for something a bit more memorable, he certainly deserved it!
That is terrible but I guess it depends on who the vet works with. My first cat is in a very old-timey floral tin. I want to update that for him. I have his pin in there as well. He had a pin put in his leg after my brother's friend stepped on it and shattered it. I was surprised they kept it for me but I am glad they did. I used to call him thumper because I would hear him comming up the basement steps as his leg was never 100% healed. The pin just kept him from being amputated.
Wow, that is impressive that they saved the pin, agreed! Not a particularly great memory, but it was a part of him, so that's a really nice touch! Thumper's a great nickname for him with that going on!
He was my first major loss. I had smaller pets which I cried over but nothing like losing him. I think we talked about him before. His name was Taco and he was a long hair ginger.
I completely agree with you, pets make a house worth living in, they make you feel needed, wanted, loved. The void when one passes is just massive, so it's understandable you'd look to, not replace, because you can never replace them, but try to fill that void.
