@Lyn, A belated thank you! It is tough to lose our animal companions but like you, I wouldn't want to know what life would be like without them. Best wishes to you and your big friends! Yes, greener pastures for all! Hugs! -Trish

@Joanie, You expressed beautifully what our bonds are with our animal companions! Best of luck with you and Boomer! It sounds like he's been with you quite a long time! Hugs! -Trish

What a beautiful homage to Siwa. The Buddhist chant (for which you had provided a link) left such an indelible impression on me. You have irrevocable wisdom — it’s what made you draw as a way of being present during such a charged time, and it’s what made you create this entry that is so full of heart and light. Thank you for giving us this space of expansion. By allowing yourself to openly express your heart, we are receiving an authentic experience of being alive. Much love and gratefulness, Theresa

Look how many people were profoundly affected by your writings! It took me several days to read this page, I couldn’t do it all at once. As you know all too well, Jenny and I went through the loss of our dog, a very painful experience.

It’s very clear to me that you gave Siwa all the days & hours that were best for her to live, and that no further hours would have been fruitful. I hope you become at ease with that decision.

Thank you for creating this page.

Trish,
Your post is such a touching tribute to Siwa. I can see that you have so many happy memories of your years together, and I hope that after the initial pain, you are able to celebrate the good times. That little movie about going for a walk had me smiling despite the unhappy circumstance of the post. It is so clear that you gave Siwa a truly happy life. I’m sorry she has passed, and I wish you all the best in feeling better soon.
love, Louise

I shouldn’t have looked…..so sad to loose a furry friend! I’ve spent a life with horses, now we are all old. Have lost many big friends in the last few years, 10 over 25 sure to happen again. Greener pastures for all

Thinking of you and asking Casper and Arabella to say cat’s prayers for you and Siwa. Beautiful drawings and beautiful writing as well.

Dear Trish and John, I join you in all prayers for Siwa’s journey into Light and Love, and hold you in my heart as well. Just last year I lost my beloved JazzyGirl (calico cat soulmate) to cancer but I celebrate our 15 years of bonding. Once in awhile I feel her hop on my bed at nite for a quick visit. It’s so tender.

Now my 17 year old Boomer, (british shorthair rescue cat) has gone totally blind and has become quite a special needs cat. He yowls and yowls because he can’t see me, and wants to know where I am. Oh, what would we do/be without these precious angels in fur bodies in our lives!!! Beginnings and middles and ends, what a blessed experience.

Prayers to you in your healing!
Joanie

Sorry, it was meant to say ‘moving’, but I couldn’t see through the tears. Love, Andrea.
