Sheila,   I worked on the crisis care team for Hospice of Dayton for two years - working night shift taking care of people who were in their last days to weeks of life - and working nights, I saw many people have visits with dead friends and relatives.  Watching someone have a visit is like w

Thanks Kathy, Seeing them all again will be wonderful. Like you I have had pets of all kinds and I loved them all (even some that were not so lovable.)It makes it easier knowing that they will be there for me when it is my turn to go. Love, Sheila <>

Whatever my Purrki's true FeLV status may be, he is determined to live life to the fullest and won't have it any other way. I do hope he will be with me for years to come. He is a risk taker who likes living on the edge and it may very well be that some other hazard in life will claim hi

Hi Sheila,   Here's something that happened in my life that confirmed what I already believed about my animals being in heaven when I get there.   In 2002 I lost my grandfather.  I'm sure some of you may remember.  My grandfather was as close or closer to my sister and me than our parents.  He was

Hi everyone. First post here. My 8-year old female Brissle was diagnosed two days ago with severe anemia and FeLV. The vet was not optimistic about her chances. She had a blood transfusion yesterday. She's doing much better now, eating really well, color is returning. But I know this is probably

Dear Kerry: It is not unusual for an animal that is near death to seek isolation in a quiet spot. A dying animal should not be fed, only offered water and vegetable juices. Some will welcome the presence of their loving guardians, but they should be protected from too much noise and lots of ac

Hi, You may not be aware of it but Lysol should not be used around cats as it is toxic to them. I have always used regular bleach and there is no need to rinse. Just let it air out for a few days and it will be fine. That is what I had to do when my cats had ringworm

Here is the kitty play pen we had built for our kids, it is 21 by 22 feet and the top is covered in chicken wire. It has two gates and they are pad locked so neighbor kids can't accidentally let anyone out. They LOVE it, although now that they can go out they appreciate air-conditioning an
