Last November 29th was the 2 year aniversary when Jake left me. I held him as his spirit left the room. I still miss him as I now care for Samson, Big Ben, Clohe and Kaluha.

PJ, I feel the same way. My dogs are family members that I love with all my heart. I am not married and do not have any children, which makes it so hard. A lot of my friends/family do not understand my pain, which really sucks, but this website is wonderful!!!!! I can type out my feelings whenever I want, mostly when I can crying....

Love, Kristi and Lacey

Thanks Cheryl. Only time heals. It's no different than losing a family member. My pets ARE family members.

PJ, I am so sorry for your loss.
It IS very hard to lose a beloved furbaby, no matter how long she was 'yours'. I understand your grief. It is so diffiuclt for the mind and heart to be as one at a time like this-your mind told you it was the right thing to do-your heart is breaking.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today as you mourn the loss of Corky.

2 days ago, I lost my beloved Corky, a 14 yr old brittany spaniel. I took her in 2 years ago when my brother was going to take her to the humane society. I knew due to her age, she would have been euthanized within days. I feel I gave her an additional few last years of life, a chance to roam in her "retirement home" but I miss her. Burying her was extremely hard, seeing her things and her dishes still here is hard, but I don't want to forget her. Each day, I sit by her grave and talk to her, hoping that she is now at peace without suffering.

Michelle, you are a very special person. Thank you for the nice comment regarding my loss of Lacey. I had to have her put to sleep on 8-26-09 due to kidney disease. I stayed with her until she drifted off peacefully. I can not find comfort in much of anything. She was my baby....I do not have children. The two poems below are similar to my situation with Lacey.

I am so sorry about your loss as well. Some people just don't get it when you lose a pet. This website has been wonderful.

Love, Kristi and Lacey

THE LAST BATTLE

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
Don't let the grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
And stay with me to the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time, you will see,
It is a kindness you do for me.
Although my tail its last was waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.

MAY I GO?

May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and sleepless nights?

I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.

I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.

To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.

Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.

So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

Kristi, I feel the same way you do about Christmas. We are going to spend it out of town because we also lost my mother unexpectedly this summer and there are too many memories at my dad's house. As for me, at my house I will be doing only minimal decorating; it would break my heart to put up the tree this year. I'm too easily set off with my emotions as it is. I cannot hear slow songs or those wistful Christmas carols without beginning to well up, even in public. It is hard to control. I feel so different about everything now than I used to. The emotions are right there under the surface. Tristan used to LOVE it when we put up the tree. He would sit nearby and watch everything and poke his nose into boxes, etc. He was such an active, integrated member of the family. He would always sit under the tree during the holiday season. I've owned lots of wonderful cats, still do, but he was really one of a kind... his soul was on his sleeve, so to speak...so sensitive and full of love. These memories are lovely but very painful right now as Tristan was taken from me prematurely and in a way that should not have happened. It has been extremely difficult to take and I feel no difference now from when this happened 5 months ago, in terms of my level of despair, shock, and loneliness without him. Therapy is not doing much as far as coping with the loss of Tristan or my mother. I don't know about time healing.... we'll have to see. This boy was my soul-mate.

I hope that your Lacey comes to visit you tonight in your dreams. My mother has visited me in a dream, on the very night I asked her to come and give me a message. She was smiling into the window of my car and she looked radiant and glowing. She said she was happy. I don't think I got a message from Tristan but he shows up frequently as one of the figures in my dreams. Usually he shows up in the dream alive and I am so relieved and perplexed as to how he could be alive when we thought he was passed away. But those are sort of dark dreams... I'd like him to show up infused with light, like he was in life, and give me a message... something to hold on to until I see him again at Home on the other side. That being said, I have received several signs from my angel-kitty but not in dreams. Twice when I asked (begged) for a sign, I received a rainbow on the same day... when it wasn't even raining in the area. I also asked for something in the backyard to be moved to show me he's still around. Two days later this object was in a completely different spot and it would be unlikely that the wind could have moved it to that location, and noone else had been outside. Perhaps people give messages and animals give signs, just like in life we speak, and animals show....

I hope Lacey comes to you and I wish you the best in getting through your Christmas with some peace and a few new good memories. I know it is hard.

Michelle and my angel-forever Tristan
