Welcome to the Pet Memorial Group
Please have comfort in knowing that your pet is with you in your heart and memories forever. Somehow this thought gives me peace deep down, and I hope it does for you too.

Comment by Kristi Watkins on December 22, 2009 at 8:08am - Well, here I am again. Hurting so bad I can't hardly stand it. I am completely dreading Christmas. I honestly can NOT believe my little girl is gone forever. Lacey gave me so much love that I do not know what to do with this terrible void in my life. Why oh why did God have to take her when I was already dealing with severe depression. Her loss has put me over the edge. The thought of seeing her again in Heaven does not give me comfort right now. I want to hold her so bad and tell her I love her. I got 2 hours of sleep last night and I am exhausted.

Comment by Gina Marie on December 19, 2009 at 9:50am - it is very hard to lose any of our beloved pets...within the last year...I lost three cats...Bernie, Dusty and Stripey...(dusty and stripey are the two males in my pics before queenie she is the last pic). Bernie was an adventurous cat..and somehow got outside last year. Needless to say we looked all over but didn't see him. We were heartbroken and thought the worst...so we just gave up looking. We eventually found out what happened, Bernie ended up wandering into a window in the apartment building we are in...that was broken out and never boarded up. He stayed down there...and the landlord and one of his so called workers boarded him in there...so, he starved to death. I found out because our downstairs neighbor who has the basement right under them said there was a funny odor coming from there. One of her sons went down and found his lifeless body...and brought him up to me. I cried so very much, for i felt it was my fault he had gotten out...but he was a quick cat...and loved to run...now, he is running in heaven, with Dusty and Stripey...this Christmas will not be the same...I still have Queenie and little BooBoo...and they are the comfort I have...I love them both dearly. Now, the same landlord is trying to evict me for non payment of rent....but he will lose, as i can prove that he is a slum lord who has no legal right to collect any rent...the judge will see this...and drop his claims. So, if I win my case this Tuesday, this will be God's way of having that slumlord pay for the death of my Bernie...God Rest All of their Souls.

I thank you both for the compliments. Sometimes a bit of knowledge comes in handy and in her case there are no limits to what one might throw her way. Be it meival English or organic pheews.
You need to read all the replies before shooting off your mouth. This is what seems to be your downfall. She didn't delete anything.
Thanks Barbara I will. How was your christmas with your trio and family? I will keep you posted. Lots of love to you and yours. Lisbeth and the lads.
This is a group where members can teach, learn and support each other about the Pit Bull breed.
Sorry Barbara....I've heard to many horror stories about this group to think they've done anything good. They might be trying to do good but they're failing from all I've read and heard about them. If you know something different I'd appreciate hear…
You are kidding right? Just how much do YOU really know about this group? Or are you, like with the Justice story, posting something that you received second hand and took to be the truth? And for anyone to be so arrogant to ASSume that this suppose…
Dixie, thanks for that update. As always, your insight is so appreciated.
