Two years ago today we lost our sweet #halliebird, and @onlyfanth’s littermate. As hard as is to watch this video again, I feel blessed to have been able to receive such an extraordinary message. These buttons have transformed our relationships with Hallie, Kiley, and Bastian since we began our “talking” journey almost three years ago. Often people will leave comments on our posts like “I don’t need buttons to know what my dog/cat/salamander want”... and that may be so for walks/treats/play/etc... but it’s intimate moments like this that remind us how much more our pets are capable of. It’s self-advocacy, cooperative care, and mutual respect, and I am forever grateful for this closure, and to be able to share this moment with our friends here 💛 #talkingcat #felineaic #hunger4words #fluentpet #petloss #petgrief #griefjourney
