We didn't see her as often as Buster, but she really was pretty. That's a great picture of her. I've been there many times with many more to come, it's always been a big part of my life to have cats, dogs and even horses. Even though I know how hard the end is I still do it. They actually find me, a rescue needed on a facebook post, a picture on the local shelter, stray kitties moving into the garage, abandoned weeks old kittens in a horse barn. I've even picked up kittens on the side of the road. They find me and I love them and take care of them as long as it takes.
Emily I am so so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I am crying along with you, Lost my wee fur baby nearly 2 yrs ago and still not over him. Yes you both did the right thing, also I think she got the best gift having you both to love her and cherish throughout her life. Sending hugs from Scotland x
Condolences to you. I loss one of my little kitties the same day as you did from her thyroid. I'm working through the same thing with her sister who keeps looking for her sister. Happy stitching thoughts.
Oh, I was crying along with you. Sending healing vibes to you, Jim, and Buster. Take time and be kind to yourselves. I brought Cooper (puppy) home from the humane society the day I brought my preemie twins home from NICU. We had to let Cooper go the day before the twins' 18th birthday. They're 20 now, and we still joke every time I trip in the kitchen that I'm tripping over him. I'm sure Dharma will find her own special way to be felt in your home.
I lost a cat, a very long time ago. I always said Winston wasn't my cat, he was my familiar. I grieved for that cat for months, and truthfully, I haven't wanted another since. Dharma was loved, and you should mourn her the best way you see fit. As for your hair - well the difference between a good hair cut and a bad haircut is about ten days. Always love seeing your projects.
That choice to say goodbye is the last gift we give our furbabies, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm so sorry, Emily. Sending hugs and love to you and Jim. ❤️
So sorry about your sweet kitty. I had to say goodbye to my beautiful calico after having been together over 22 years. Every day I think of her even tho it’s been five and a half years ago now. Best to you and Jim. ❤ ~Elizabeth
So sorry to hear about your loss. It is so hard to lose a loved one and Dharma was clearly a very much loved part of your family. Sending you lots of hugs .
Oh Emily, I am going threw the same thing. My Gracie I have told you pasted on November 7th. She was 8 lbs kidneys just failed 😢. I truly sorry, you and your husband are great fur baby parents ❤
It hurts to lose our furry friends. Sometimes they are asking us to help them and we want to hang on to them as long as we can, because we love them. You did the right thing for all of you. You will miss her always.
Any of us who have opened our hearts to pets understands completely how deep this grief is. So so very sorry. I hope her life with you and all those amazing memories will bring you comfort. She is no longer in pain. Horrible that we have to make those choices, and they can't tell us it's ok. Take care and allow yourself all the time you need to grieve. 💔💔💔💔💔
So sorry about your baby girl. We had a cat who was nearly 30 years old. When her time came, it was incredibly difficult to say goodbye because she had been in our lives for so long. I too had a custom pet urn made for her, and I put together a memory book for her. Our pets are definitely part of our family. 😽
Firstly thank you for doing another Flosstube so soon and sharing your experience. There are no words, you just work through your grief in your own way. Like your partner, the only time in 10 years I've seen my partner cry is after we had our dog (well my dog because we came as a package into the relationship) put to sleep due to heart failure similar to your Dharma, you know it's the right thing but it's so very painful. We are six years on and it still hits me from nowhere, and that's ok. After my dog passed six months later we felt our cat was still grieving the loss of his buddy and we made the decision to get another dog, for me it was too soon and that was hard, it also brought huge stress on our cat who got sick which was the opposite of what we had intended. The dog and cat lived in separate parts of the house for almost 12 months but 6 years on the cat and dog love one another and all is much better. I guess what I'm saying is listen to your gut on that front, I know people who straight away get another pet to help heal, for me it made the grief worse. I'm glad you've treated yourself to some lovely new goodies and that stitching has brought some comfort. I just wish that gorgeous nail polish was more readily accessible in the UK! 😂 Take care and look after yourself. See you in the next stitchy instalment. 💗
So sorry for your loss, Dharma was so loved and lucky to have had a wonderful life with you. I lost my last cat after 16 years, was always just the 2 of us and my heart broke. I kept thinking it was the worst pain I’d ever felt, apart from losing my dad. After a year I was ready to get a rescue cat and chose one that was described as a “very shy cat who needs a quiet, settled home”. Perfect…. Except I don’t know what cat they were describing, but it wasn’t the girl I brought home. She is wild, loves to play, has endless energy and wants to be in my face all day long. Makes me laugh all the time. Sometimes you get what you didn’t know you needed 🐈⬛ Either way we are lucky to have cats, I think they make us better people Thinking of you, Jim & Buster xx
Very sorry for your loss. I lost my stitching buddy a while back and miss him every day. They are like our children. Its so hard. Having loved them so long and taking care of them just know they will be with you in your heart and spirit forever. 💔
So sorry for your loss. Pets are with us for such a short time comparatively, but their loss is always devastating. You cared for her so well, so her last days were as good as you could have made them.
You did the right thing. I went through the same thing with my dog three years ago. she had an insulinoma which resulted in periodic seizures. She got to the point where she would not eat and I tried different medications and for a while that worked, but they stopped working and she ate less and less… she would seem fairly normal in between the seizures, but they became more prevalent and even though some of her life seemed somewhat normal, it became obvious that she was suffering in several different ways. Making that decision to say goodbye was the hardest thing I ever had to do and I second-guessed myself for several months. But looking back on it now I realized that I did the right thing …prayers for you and your family…I know how tough it is.❤❤
Those who have followed you from the beginning...Dharma was part of our STITCHY community. Sorry for your loss...you and Jim have sooo many memories to share!!❤❤
Hi there! I am very sorry for your loss of your beloved Dharma. I know it's very hard because I have a cat and had it before and lost them. I love people who love animals, so I am sending you virtual hugs, even f I don't know you personally. Dharma was very much loved and you did the best you can do with her. We all will miss you her being in your flosstube and we will remember her.
Losing a pet is always so rough, and the grieving process is so hard. You definitely did the right thing, but that doesn't make going through the loss any easier. Dharma was such a beautiful cat. (Also, ILNP polishes are great. I like that they have a wide range. The darker, blingy ones are more my style, but I also bought a bunch of their nuetral-but-not-completely-boring shades when I switched jobs and wasn't sure how strict the dress code was going to be.)
I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve Had to make that choice more than once and it is never easy even though it is the right choice. I really like this hair cut. I think it suits you.
I understand exactly what you went through, I have gone through several times. I had a Schnauzer that had the same thing, we cried together 😢Buster will adjust as you will. Prayers for your healing. Stitch and dream of the beautiful times together ❤️ Loads of love and hugs
Aw Emily, so sorry to hear, our pets are a big part of our family and it’s heart breaking when they leave us. Remember little kitty Dharma, talk to each other about all the great memories , all the good times, the playing, cuddles and watching out the window making weird noises while “ hunting” birds. ❤️Much better than constantly thinking of the saddest times. I’ve lost three cats in the last 5 years, I searched on Etsy and found prints that looked exactly like two of them and got a photo I’d taken of the third and got them framed. I can see them from my stitching/knitting chair and check them out often . I’ll watch stitch part tomorrow, need sleep now. Big hug sweetie🥰🙋🏼♀️
My heart goes out to you and Jim during this extremely trying time - I'm crying along with you. We always want our babies to last forever, but we never want them to suffer. You made the right decision - she was telling you she was ready to go. Made us think about all our babies we had to let go to that bridge where they could be pain free and chase butterflies. She will be there waiting for you both.
Crying with you. We've had to say goodbye to several cats over our 32-year marriage and it's the hardest thing. You did the right thing and she knew how much you loved her. They know. Thank you for sharing your life and your heart with us as well as your stitching.
There are harder things in life than losing a pet, but not many in my opinion. They are truly members of the family, we are with them more than most people. We lost our last dog in January and I think of him every day. Take care of yourself, Emily, I’ll be sending some good thoughts your way. ❤ Susan
Hi Emily! I want to extend my sincere condolences on the loss of your sweet Dharma! I shed some tears when you spoke of her and hope that in the coming weeks the memories of your sweet angel will comfort you! She was so very loved and that is the best life any animal can ask for! We had to put one of our horses down a few weeks back, and yes, such a tough decision, but one that has to be made with much love and kindness! In time, maybe another perfect feline will cross your path and the love in your heart will grab a hold of another sweet kitty! When you are ready! Hugs to you and your husband. I also want to mention to check out Stitching With Luda’s FT #122; she stitches the skin or her Mira’s and Nora’s with Splendor Silk and has the color conversion on this FT! I think it’s a good alternative to DMC and worth a look see to see if maybe you want to do that to your beautiful stitching. Thank you so much for sharing your loss and for braving through your wonderful FT. I always look forward to all that you stitch and all that you share with us; tears included! Hugs to you all!
So sorry to hear about Dharma, it's very hard to loss things that are innocent loyal and majestic. You will heal in time, I almost started to cry watching this over my cat I lost in 2009. I have 5 new ones after some time, you never forget how much love you have for them though. I absolutely love ypur hair cut it's cute, trendy, and suits your personality. When you go drastic it takes awhile to get used to I go front long to short all the time. Thanks for sharing with us your news🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All of this is what needs to happen. It is a process and is never easy. Every pet i have had i felt like they were still present with me for months. I felt like i could feel them sit on my feet and rub along my pants. I think it’s your brains way of letting them go slowly so you can process it. So sorry for your loss.
YES. I keep thinking I see her or hear her. Or in my early morning fog I look for her to push open the bathroom door to join me purring. Gosh I miss her.
Oh Emily, I'm so, so very sorry! I cried along with you remembering how it felt when I had to do the same with my sweet kitty Yes, it's the right thing to do, but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
There are no words to take your grief away. If we didn’t love them so much, it wouldn’t hurt so bad. Hoping your memories of her will help you, Jim and Buster heal. Know that we are all thinking of you.❤
So sorry for your loss. I understand how when you don’t have children, your pets ARE your children. We never had children but we have had 4 dogs. My last boy died of a heart attack on his last day of boarding while we were selling our house. It broke my heart that he passed without me present to comfort him. I totally understand your pain 😢
@ Your loss of Dharma is so recent, so I can totally understand your tears when talking about her. Mine was long ago enough now that I simply miss my fun kid. For you, you’re still in the phase of knowing Dharma would be doing this or that right now, but she’s not here. You don’t have to apologize for getting emotional about talking about her - I’m sure everyone in Floss Tube land understands ❤️
I'm so very sorry, Emily and Jim💔and Buster. Although it doesn't seem like it, it was the best decision. I'm here crying with you. I do the same with my nails. I pick at the sides when I'm anxious. Hugs to you all.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Emily, and this extends to your husband too. It is so very difficult to make that final decision. I have tears in my eyes just hearing it from you. Hugs and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. 💔😢
I'm devastated for you. 💔 No love compares to that of a family pet. Never regret a second of loving a pet. You give then a home, your love, their life. They give you joy. Hold onto the love you shared. Be gentle with yourself, the strength will follow. X
Hi Emily…I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet Dharma. Love to you both. I want to share with you that one of the most heartbreaking things (that goes with any type of loss) is to watch your partner grieve. My husband lost a very close friend and when I saw him cry it broke my heart. Take care of yourselves and each other.😢
Oh, Emily, I am so sorry. I had no idea she was ill. I didn't see anything on IG. You did what was best for your sweet girl. She told you it was time.💔😢
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dharma. I personally think the feelings of great grief are directly related to great love, and that that love will eventually help us to not grieve quite so much. It takes time; give yourselves the time; and however long it takes, that is okay. How lucky we and our pets are to know such great love. I am glad you have each other, and, yes, that you have your stitching. Keeping you both in my prayers.
Sending love. I lost both my black cats in one week over a year ago. It was nightmarish. Still not ok about it. They are never replaced. I wouldn’t get another for months. I have 2 boys and my eldest was having a terrible time. He thought of every pet in evolutionary time regression, mammals, reptiles, the whole shebang. I kept saying no. When he got to hermit crabs I caved. (They smell awful and lovable is questionable). We got 2 Siamese. Very different. Having always had a pet to zero in a week was a head trip. Take your time. U still miss my boys that passed. They were polite and easy. The new boys are not. No plant is safe. My Quasar is passive aggressively throwing my clean laundry all over if I don’t give him his wet food breakfast in his timeframe. (They always have dry food). Loss is something I feel never lessens; we just learn to live with it. Losing my grandmother and mother is the same. I don’t miss them less today that I did when I lost them. In fact I miss them more. My cats too. Now I’m crying. I guess hang in there and I am going to buy that nail polish. It looks fun and cruelty free etc is always great. Take care.
I am so sorry for you and your family losing an important member. I hope you find comfort soon in knowing you did everything you could. ❤️. On a lighter note, your hair is fantastic and frames your face.
I am sooo sorry for your loss! I know the awful loss you have experienced and I am so sorry! 🥹😢. This is something that will take a long time because they are our family. On a different note I think your haircut is really cute. I like it👍
Oh Emily, I am so sorry and I feel for you. I'd give you a hug if I could. It is never, ever easy, you shouldn't second guess yourself on your decision.
You’re not a Debbie downer, you’re hurt. My cat had cardiomyopathy too, but was/seemed fine until he had a heart attack when he was 7. It was on Father’s Day a year after my dad passed, which I found particularly cruel. On a lighter note I love your hair! Nail polish never lasts for me, sometimes not even a day without chipping, but those colors are nice!
Oh Emily, I am so, so sorry. As pet parents, it’s the hardest - yet, most loving - decision we can make. Having lost my forever one and only baby, Grouchie, I know exactly how you’re feeling, and god, it sucks. I’m sending you the biggest hug possible. And I’ll be back to watch the rest later, after *I* have a good cry for you. ❤
You are ok. You are hurting. You are grieving. You are missing Dharma with all your heart. And you are ok, all these things are what you need to feel right now and you are ok.
I had to stop the video on my tv and come to the computer to leave this comment. I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful fur baby, unfortunately for me I can relate way too much to your feelings of not doing enough, or the right thing, or wondering if you could have done something different all while knowing you did all you could. I lost my 15 yr old fur baby in October to cancer. For those of us that love the four footed babies as much as the two footed ones, the process of grief is the same. I know nothing I say can change the way you are feeling, but I hope it gives you some comfort to know there is at least one other out here sharing your grief and don't ever feel like you have to force yourself to keep your feelings, or your tears inside, those that care about others will understand, those that don't well, they don't have to watch the video. You are all in my thoughts, and please don't forget that you still have one baby there to help you grieve while you do the same for him, trust me, it makes a difference, I have learned that the hard way. 💔❤🙏
Emily….my heart 💔🥀 aches for you & Jim…& Buster … the loss is 💔🥀only understood by one who deeply loves, the fur babe. This you clearly have exude. Your haircut is beautiful… your lively face wears the cut well.. Do take care of each other.., Hugs Xxx to Buster I’m sure he’s feeling Dharma’s 🥀absence.. In your hearts she will always be.. 💔🙏🤗
It's ok to not be ok. No matter how much time we have with our pets, it is never enough. Thanks for checking back in. Hugs.
We didn't see her as often as Buster, but she really was pretty. That's a great picture of her. I've been there many times with many more to come, it's always been a big part of my life to have cats, dogs and even horses. Even though I know how hard the end is I still do it. They actually find me, a rescue needed on a facebook post, a picture on the local shelter, stray kitties moving into the garage, abandoned weeks old kittens in a horse barn. I've even picked up kittens on the side of the road. They find me and I love them and take care of them as long as it takes.
Emily I am so so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. I am crying along with you, Lost my wee fur baby nearly 2 yrs ago and still not over him. Yes you both did the right thing, also I think she got the best gift having you both to love her and cherish throughout her life. Sending hugs from Scotland x
Oh Emily, I'm sooo sorry for the loss of your sweet baby💔 my heart breaks for you and Jim. Sending love ❤️❤️❤️
Love you, Emily! Cry whenever you need to and keep rockin’ those bangs!
Condolences to you. I loss one of my little kitties the same day as you did from her thyroid. I'm working through the same thing with her sister who keeps looking for her sister. Happy stitching thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's tough when they're looking for their sibling.
Oh, I was crying along with you. Sending healing vibes to you, Jim, and Buster. Take time and be kind to yourselves.
I brought Cooper (puppy) home from the humane society the day I brought my preemie twins home from NICU. We had to let Cooper go the day before the twins' 18th birthday. They're 20 now, and we still joke every time I trip in the kitchen that I'm tripping over him.
I'm sure Dharma will find her own special way to be felt in your home.
We are all crying with you and Jim over the loss of your beautiful girl. Holding you both close to my heart during this extremely difficult time. ❤
Im so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. Your story of the urn for Dharma brought tears to my eyes. It will be a truly wonderful memorial for her.
I lost a cat, a very long time ago. I always said Winston wasn't my cat, he was my familiar. I grieved for that cat for months, and truthfully, I haven't wanted another since. Dharma was loved, and you should mourn her the best way you see fit. As for your hair - well the difference between a good hair cut and a bad haircut is about ten days. Always love seeing your projects.
I'm so sorry for your loss. We do all grieve differently and need to take the time to process and grieve our way. Sending love your way.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to lose a family member and we all process grief differently. Sending hugs and love to you, Jim and Buster
So sorry for the loss of your furrbaby! It’s always so hard, cry if you want to, we understand.
That choice to say goodbye is the last gift we give our furbabies, but that doesn't make it any easier. I'm so sorry, Emily. Sending hugs and love to you and Jim. ❤️
So sorry about your sweet kitty. I had to say goodbye to my beautiful calico after having been together over 22 years. Every day I think of her even tho it’s been five and a half years ago now. Best to you and Jim. ❤ ~Elizabeth
So sorry to hear about your loss. It is so hard to lose a loved one and Dharma was clearly a very much loved part of your family. Sending you lots of hugs .
You poor buddies, I have had 4 cats and a bunny and it is always so hard! Sending hugs!! ❤
Oh Emily, I am going threw the same thing. My Gracie I have told you pasted on November 7th. She was 8 lbs kidneys just failed 😢. I truly sorry, you and your husband are great fur baby parents ❤
So sorry to hear about Dharma. It is so hard to lose a part of the family. Sending you lots of hugs. And you look beautiful!!
It hurts to lose our furry friends. Sometimes they are asking us to help them and we want to hang on to them as long as we can, because we love them. You did the right thing for all of you. You will miss her always.
Any of us who have opened our hearts to pets understands completely how deep this grief is. So so very sorry. I hope her life with you and all those amazing memories will bring you comfort. She is no longer in pain. Horrible that we have to make those choices, and they can't tell us it's ok. Take care and allow yourself all the time you need to grieve. 💔💔💔💔💔
So sorry about your baby girl. We had a cat who was nearly 30 years old. When her time came, it was incredibly difficult to say goodbye because she had been in our lives for so long. I too had a custom pet urn made for her, and I put together a memory book for her. Our pets are definitely part of our family. 😽
So very sorry for your loss! You and Jim are in my thoughts! Peace.
Firstly thank you for doing another Flosstube so soon and sharing your experience. There are no words, you just work through your grief in your own way.

So sorry for your loss, Dharma was so loved and lucky to have had a wonderful life with you.
I lost my last cat after 16 years, was always just the 2 of us and my heart broke. I kept thinking it was the worst pain I’d ever felt, apart from losing my dad. After a year I was ready to get a rescue cat and chose one that was described as a “very shy cat who needs a quiet, settled home”.
Perfect…. Except I don’t know what cat they were describing, but it wasn’t the girl I brought home. She is wild, loves to play, has endless energy and wants to be in my face all day long. Makes me laugh all the time.
Sometimes you get what you didn’t know you needed 🐈⬛
Either way we are lucky to have cats, I think they make us better people
Thinking of you, Jim & Buster xx
Very sorry for your loss. I lost my stitching buddy a while back and miss him every day. They are like our children. Its so hard. Having loved them so long and taking care of them just know they will be with you in your heart and spirit forever. 💔
So sorry for your loss. Pets are with us for such a short time comparatively, but their loss is always devastating. You cared for her so well, so her last days were as good as you could have made them.

@ ❤️❤️ your baby was absolutely gorgeous
I’m so sorry for the loss of your girl ❤. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Hello Emily, I'm so sorry for your loss ,Pets have such an unconditional love, thank you for the update, MMay you be blessed this week.
I watch all your videos, but typically don’t comment….but, I am here to say it’s ok to cry, ok to be sad. And I love your haircut!
So sorry to hear about your sweet Dharma. Our four legged children are such a big part of our hearts. Hugs to both of you.
Those who have followed you from the beginning...Dharma was part of our STITCHY community. Sorry for your loss...you and Jim have sooo many memories to share!!❤❤

Defiantly one of the hardest things ever 😢
I’m sorry for your loss. Take care! 😊
I am so sorry. Even though you know in your heart you made the right decisio, the loss is so painful.
Aw Emily, so sorry to hear, our pets are a big part of our family and it’s heart breaking when they leave us. Remember little kitty Dharma, talk to each other about all the great memories , all the good times, the playing, cuddles and watching out the window making weird noises while “ hunting” birds. ❤️Much better than constantly thinking of the saddest times.

It’s ok to be sad. Our fur babies are family and are important to us. ((Hugs)) to both of you.❤️ Your hair cut looks super cute on you.
My heart is breaking for you and Jim, animals never live long enough. There's no time limit on grief, loving them is worth the pain. Hugs to Buster.
My heart is breaking for you! Your gave her a fabulous life! It's hard but you will always have your memories!
I'm sorry for your loss. Our pets are part of our families. Your hair looks very light and pretty.
My heart goes out to you and Jim during this extremely trying time - I'm crying along with you. We always want our babies to last forever, but we never want them to suffer. You made the right decision - she was telling you she was ready to go. Made us think about all our babies we had to let go to that bridge where they could be pain free and chase butterflies.

Thank you so much for sharing your loss and for braving through your wonderful FT. I always look forward to all that you stitch and all that you share with us; tears included! Hugs to you all!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. We lost a sweet little soul in June and I miss her everyday. I feel your pain.❤❤❤
So sorry to hear about Dharma, it's very hard to loss things that are innocent loyal and majestic. You will heal in time, I almost started to cry watching this over my cat I lost in 2009. I have 5 new ones after some time, you never forget how much love you have for them though. I absolutely love ypur hair cut it's cute, trendy, and suits your personality. When you go drastic it takes awhile to get used to I go front long to short all the time. Thanks for sharing with us your news🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
All of this is what needs to happen. It is a process and is never easy. Every pet i have had i felt like they were still present with me for months. I felt like i could feel them sit on my feet and rub along my pants. I think it’s your brains way of letting them go slowly so you can process it. So sorry for your loss.
YES. I keep thinking I see her or hear her. Or in my early morning fog I look for her to push open the bathroom door to join me purring. Gosh I miss her.
Oh Emily, I'm so, so very sorry! I cried along with you remembering how it felt when I had to do the same with my sweet kitty Yes, it's the right thing to do, but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
Emily and Jim I am so sorry for your loss, she was your baby and she was so loved. Hugs to both of you xo
There are no words to take your grief away. If we didn’t love them so much, it wouldn’t hurt so bad. Hoping your memories of her will help you, Jim and Buster heal. Know that we are all thinking of you.❤
I’m so sorry, it’s never easy to lose your furbaby. It’s ok to cry, go ahead and cry it helps. ❤️🩹
So sorry for your loss. I understand how when you don’t have children, your pets ARE your children. We never had children but we have had 4 dogs. My last boy died of a heart attack on his last day of boarding while we were selling our house. It broke my heart that he passed without me present to comfort him. I totally understand your pain 😢
Oh that's heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
@ Your loss of Dharma is so recent, so I can totally understand your tears when talking about her. Mine was long ago enough now that I simply miss my fun kid. For you, you’re still in the phase of knowing Dharma would be doing this or that right now, but she’s not here. You don’t have to apologize for getting emotional about talking about her - I’m sure everyone in Floss Tube land understands ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss of beautiful Dharma. Pets are family and losing them can be so tough. Sending you big hugs. Take care, Arleen
I'm so very sorry, Emily and Jim💔and Buster. Although it doesn't seem like it, it was the best decision. I'm here crying with you. I do the same with my nails. I pick at the sides when I'm anxious. Hugs to you all.
Losing a pet is so hard. So sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Emily, and this extends to your husband too. It is so very difficult to make that final decision.
I have tears in my eyes just hearing it from you. Hugs and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. 💔😢
I'm devastated for you. 💔
No love compares to that of a family pet.
Never regret a second of loving a pet. You give then a home, your love, their life. They give you joy.
Hold onto the love you shared.
Be gentle with yourself, the strength will follow. X
Emily, so sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet Dharma. Wishing you, Jim and Buster Peace as.you grieve.
So sorry that you have had such a tough time. Take care of yourselves x
Hi Emily…I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet Dharma. Love to you both.
I want to share with you that one of the most heartbreaking things (that goes with any type of loss) is to watch your partner grieve. My husband lost a very close friend and when I saw him cry it broke my heart. Take care of yourselves and each other.😢
Thank you. It's so hard to see someone you love hurting.
Losing our fur children is so so very hard ! Big hugs !
Oh, Emily, I am so sorry. I had no idea she was ill. I didn't see anything on IG. You did what was best for your sweet girl. She told you it was time.💔😢
Emily- I am so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dharma. I personally think the feelings of great grief are directly related to great love, and that that love will eventually help us to not grieve quite so much. It takes time; give yourselves the time; and however long it takes, that is okay. How lucky we and our pets are to know such great love. I am glad you have each other, and, yes, that you have your stitching. Keeping you both in my prayers.
Sending love. I lost both my black cats in one week over a year ago. It was nightmarish. Still not ok about it. They are never replaced. I wouldn’t get another for months. I have 2 boys and my eldest was having a terrible time. He thought of every pet in evolutionary time regression, mammals, reptiles, the whole shebang. I kept saying no. When he got to hermit crabs I caved. (They smell awful and lovable is questionable). We got 2 Siamese. Very different. Having always had a pet to zero in a week was a head trip. Take your time. U still miss my boys that passed. They were polite and easy. The new boys are not. No plant is safe. My Quasar is passive aggressively throwing my clean laundry all over if I don’t give him his wet food breakfast in his timeframe. (They always have dry food). Loss is something I feel never lessens; we just learn to live with it. Losing my grandmother and mother is the same. I don’t miss them less today that I did when I lost them. In fact I miss them more. My cats too. Now I’m crying. I guess hang in there and I am going to buy that nail polish. It looks fun and cruelty free etc is always great. Take care.
I am so sorry for you and your family losing an important member. I hope you find comfort soon in knowing you did everything you could. ❤️. On a lighter note, your hair is fantastic and frames your face.
❤❤❤ I’m sorry for you fur baby girl is okey to cry and grief
Oh Em, I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you and Jim. 😔
Bless you. If you want to cry then get it out. Keeping it in will only hurt you more xxx
I am sooo sorry for your loss! I know the awful loss you have experienced and I am so sorry! 🥹😢. This is something that will take a long time because they are our family. On a different note I think your haircut is really cute. I like it👍
Sorry for your loss 😔 They are family❤
Oh Emily, I am so sorry and I feel for you. I'd give you a hug if I could. It is never, ever easy, you shouldn't second guess yourself on your decision.
I'm so sorry. Sending love your way.
So sorry, Emily and Jim, about your beloved Dharma.
You’re not a Debbie downer, you’re hurt. My cat had cardiomyopathy too, but was/seemed fine until he had a heart attack when he was 7. It was on Father’s Day a year after my dad passed, which I found particularly cruel.
On a lighter note I love your hair! Nail polish never lasts for me, sometimes not even a day without chipping, but those colors are nice!
Oh Emily, I am so, so sorry. As pet parents, it’s the hardest - yet, most loving - decision we can make. Having lost my forever one and only baby, Grouchie, I know exactly how you’re feeling, and god, it sucks. I’m sending you the biggest hug possible. And I’ll be back to watch the rest later, after *I* have a good cry for you. ❤
You are ok. You are hurting. You are grieving. You are missing Dharma with all your heart. And you are ok, all these things are what you need to feel right now and you are ok.
Oh Emily, I’ve been in your shoes and it just sucks. Dharma was so loved and you’ll feel her love always.
Sending love and peace to you 🖤
Emily, I am so sorry. This is a very hard and difficult time.
Sending you so many virtual hugs ❤
I had to stop the video on my tv and come to the computer to leave this comment. I am so sorry to hear about your beautiful fur baby, unfortunately for me I can relate way too much to your feelings of not doing enough, or the right thing, or wondering if you could have done something different all while knowing you did all you could. I lost my 15 yr old fur baby in October to cancer. For those of us that love the four footed babies as much as the two footed ones, the process of grief is the same. I know nothing I say can change the way you are feeling, but I hope it gives you some comfort to know there is at least one other out here sharing your grief and don't ever feel like you have to force yourself to keep your feelings, or your tears inside, those that care about others will understand, those that don't well, they don't have to watch the video. You are all in my thoughts, and please don't forget that you still have one baby there to help you grieve while you do the same for him, trust me, it makes a difference, I have learned that the hard way. 💔❤🙏
It's so comforting to know that others understand what it's like to grieve the loss of a furry friend. Thank you.
On a lighter note, I think your hair looks great🙂
I cannot like this video but I did anyway. Praying for you and Jim on losing your sweet girl.
Big hug and take care 💜
By the way if you have to send anything to Canada, they are having a postal strike!
