I just wanted to leave a quick note for everyone who might be wondering why the reviews have slowed down to a turtle’s pace in the last week or so and my commenting has been spotty. After a sudden, severe illness, I had to make the decision to euthanize my 13-year-old furbaby on the 10th. Taking care of me has taken precedence over taking care of a lot of blog things, especially since reading and writing have become difficult. I’m working my way back though and I have some things coming up, including a release day review of the new book in my beloved Secret McQueen series by Sierra Dean, but things will probably still be spotty this week. Thank you so, so much for sticking with me.
My chubby Snowball (guess why she was named that 
– my kidlet did it) doing what she loved best – sleeping on me.
Aww take care of yourself Barb {{hugs}}
I hope you’re OK, Barb.
Definitely take care of yourself!
*Hugs* <3
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Our 13 year old furbaby, Koko, became ill in January and passed away at home. We are still grieving, so I have an idea how you feel. Take time for yourself, and allow yourself to grieve. The blog, and your readers, will still be here when you come back.
Oh Tammy, that’s so sad, I’m so sorry.
I can’t even imagine how painful it was for you to have your Koko be ill like that. My thoughts are with you and your family. ((hugs))
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Barbara
sending big hugs your way & thinking of you xx
condoleances, i know how hard it can be.
take care of you that’s what she would have wanted. we will be there when you feel like it
Trust me I will be a mess when I lose one of mine. Feel better. I hope you find someone furry soon to fill that void.
So sorry to hear about your loss Barbara. It’s so hard to lose a member of the family, be it human or otherwise. I will keep you in my thoughts during your time of grief.
That’s sad, dammit. She’s so white and pretty. I suck at this stuff, but I <3 you and hope you feel better.
I’m so sorry Barbara. I know how difficult it is to say goodbye. We just had to put my 16 year old cat to sleep in January.
*hugs*
Oh, I remember, Karen! My heart broke a little for you when you talked about it and I gave my own fuzzball some extra love that day. I’m so sorry, I hope you’re managing well. It hasn’t even been very long.
I’m so sorrry for your loss. That is horrible to go through and I’ve been there. It hurts, so takee the time and take care of you first. We had to put our twelve year old Rottweiler to sleep in October. A pet is a family member and their loss is horrible. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.
Your baby was so young.
It never feels like there’s enough time, but so many pets live to be 17, 18 or more, anything less almost feels like being cheated out of time with them. I’m so sorry for your loss, Lindsey.
Thank you so much everyone! I’d love to reply to each of you individually but then I’d start getting all sloppy and weepy again and that’s not a good thing. Snowball was my first furbaby on my own as an adult and the little stinker got me through some difficult times. I’m trying to just power through things and having such wonderful friends for support makes it infinitely easier. I really love the blogging community and the lovely messages I’ve received here and in my email have helped so much. I can’t even begin to express my thanks.
I feel for every one of you all that has lost one or who will face the loss of one of yours someday. At some point soon I’ll be able to more easily balance the joy she gave me with this big pile of sorrow.
I’m thinking of you… I know how you feel. Sending big quishy hugs!!!
uh, yeah, that would be “squishy” – good grief, me!
Quishy, squishy, I’ll take them all.
Thank you, sweetie.
