I didn't know what to do with myself today. I went to the shelter where I volunteer and donated some of Flame's leftover meds and food and treats. I felt such an urgent need to be there today. I needed to be around animals today... I needed to pet and snuggle some kitties and doggies. It did my heart good.

I got to see a sweet 9 month old pup go home with her new family... and what a wiggly, jiggly, kissy faced beauty she is!! We love those happy new beginnings!!

AND... I got to hold 3 brand new 6 day old kittens!! Such tiny little meeps they are. Meet Patrick (white), Kelly and Bridget. They still have their umbilical cords. Our Shelter Director is hand raising them. Sooo beautiful!!

Our sweet GA kitties will greet your beloved Flame at the rainbow bridge and take good care until you can be reunited once again one day. Hugs to you as you grieve your loss.

I know that Flame is smiling own upon you from the Bridge knowing that you're honoring him by volunteering at the shelter to make sure other cats and dogs have the best life possible. Perhaps, in time, he'll even guide someone new your way so they can experience the love he was so blessed to have during his time here.

Fly free sweet Flame. You'll be missed as much as you were loved. cat_wings>o
 
I don't have words that are good enough to comfort you Donna except that you are a wonderful mama bean. I'm sure sweet Flame and his squirrel friend are having a good game of chat and chase. You'll both always have a place in my heart. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Thank you so much for always being here for us @Doodles & Karen . You were definitely one of my "lifelines" here and I'll never be able to tell you how much I appreciate that. You and Doodles certainly have a very special place in my heart and always will.

It's funny that you say this. During Flame's passing, my friend and Reiki master was "holding a sacred space" for him and sending Reiki during the process. When we spoke later that night, she told me what she sensed and saw... this is an excerpt from her notes

I then saw one lone squirrel appear. It was as if he was there to get Flame’s attention. This squirrel then refocused Flame’s attention to Hobbes, who was waiting to meet/greet his brother. There was so much brotherly love present. (Hobbes was my civvie who passed 3 years ago in January)

So, the squirrel, his little friend, even came thru to help as he was crossing over!

Sending oh SO much love to you and Doodles! :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
What a beautiful story about Flame's squirrel pal and Hobbes' and Flame's meeting. I'm so glad your Reiki friend was able to convey what she sensed.
I'm happy, too, that you were able to go to the shelter today and see the young puppy and the tiny kittens who have their whole lives ahead of them. This is all part of Flame's thank-you to you, Donna. He wanted you to share in the hope and love that is ahead for these young animals.

Ella, it is even more special than that. I had said that Flame had an INCREDIBLE impact on me and so many other people during his time here, and the connection to that place (shelter), those people and the direction it took me in is a testament to that.

You see, Flame is wholly responsible for my starting to volunteer with the shelter 12 years ago. I was so grateful that they allowed me to adopt him that I wanted to pay back/pay it forward. Our shelter director reminded me the other day, that if it weren't for Flame, she and I would not have become the close friends we are today (for which I am SO grateful) and I would not have started to volunteer and be instrumental in saving so many other animals' lives.

Flame was truly my teacher and my guide in this life and he inspired me to journey in directions I could not have imagined.
So, it just felt so right yesterday to go back to the place where it all began and spread some of the love in my heart with those sweet souls who are finding the shelter their temporary home.
 
Donna.... I have not been on the board much but it is very clear that Flame will forever be remembered and that you are an amazingly unselfish cat mom to give sweet Flame the last gift we can give.....again, I am so very sorry such a deep loss.:bighug::bighug::bighug::rb_icon:
