Thank You

Typing words makes it hard to express my gratitude to everyone that took the time to offer their condolences and thoughts regarding our loss of Toby.

The year of 2021 was extraordinarily bad and sad for our feline family. Our furry family members went from 7 to the present 3. The youngest of which was 14 years old.

All of our feline members, that are no longer with us, were either born on our property, or for some reason chose our home to be their forever home. Of those, 2 were sisters from the same litter. The other was our Tuxedo, who was the baby boy of 1 of our 2 remaining felines. Toby found us during a very cold winter.

All were rescues in one way or the other. Our dog Lily, was rescued from a No Kill Shelter in Kansas City. She was lost somewhere in that state and given to that Shelter. My wife went there to pick her up for her late mother. For some unknown reason her mother changed her mind, and Lily made her forever home with us.

Originally planned to make this short, but as many here know, me and short posts are rare. Just can't seem to help myself!

I very sincere Thank You to all of you. Each and every post reminded my wife and I, just how many great and caring people there still are in the world in which we all live. ♥️♥️

My wife and I,

hckynut(john)

There's no way of getting around the pain of loss. You know we've been there and you are always there for us. You do a good thing taking those babies in like you do. Thank you.

@hckynutjohn

You and Cindy have been true warriors in the never ending battle against homelessness for animals that are unwanted and discarded, which shows what a kind, loving heart you two have for those unfortunate animals.

I'm proud to 'know' you both and your heartwarming stories through this forum.

Thank you both for being you.

Awe @hckynutjohn No thanks necessary but you and Cindy are very welcome. You have given love and care to so many beautiful animals. Losing them is the ugly part but the unconditional love they give us in return is so so beautiful. Hugs

I know it's very hard to say goodbye to our pets

thank you both for rescuing these precious animals.

Someday, I hope to get another kitty - I miss the companionship of my loving furry kids (crossed 🌈 last year). I've got too much on my mind & plate right now to love another.

My thoughts & prayers are with you both💐

@hckynutjohn - Every animal lover on these forums knows the pain of losing a beloved member of the family. It's the price we pay for the love given and received in return.

You and Cindy have certainly had enough on your plate in the past year, but you still show unconditional love and care for your feline family.

A blessed New Year to you both. And I agree - I still believe that most people are good and want to help others. I believe the good and caring people are always in the majority.

@hckynutjohn I am so very very sorry for loss of your beloved Toby and any of the other furry family members. I had my dog Ozzy for 21 years, it is so very hard when they are no longer with us. I would still "see" Ozzy around the house. Our fur children fill our hearts with so much peace, joy and love. They know when we need them and just seem to be there. My heart breaks for you and your wife. No matter how long their time with us, it's always too short. I know my Ozzy will always be in my heart, but boy that part that misses him, that's rough.

This certainly has been a year of so much loss for you both.

Sending you love and light, as so many of us know the intense pain of losing a beloved pet.
