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.

- My heart goes out to you at this sad time. I lost one of my foster babies and all she and her brother wanted was to be hugged and loved. Unfortunately I wasn't there at the time she died and it broke my heart, as I took more than a shine to these two. I am just glad that I spent all my time loving her and cuddling her. She died Friday just gone. She was only 3 months old and we didn't even know she wasnt well. RIP Baby girlxxx

Jasmine,
I can't believe this will be our first Thanksgiving without you here in our lives.
Our first one in thirteen years. Tears will be shed as I quietly remember how you sat there ever so patiently while Daddy carved the turkey the night before, no matter how long it took.
Your eyes fixed on his every move. Your eyes never left him. Waiting for any morsel, any crumb to accidently fall for you to clean up.
I had to release you from your pain 09-04-09 created by the drug I gave you.
For this I am truly sorry.
Your eyes told me you could take no more.
You were telling me 'it was time'.
I will forever miss you Jasmine.
I will never forget the memories you left me.
The void will always be there.
Rest in peace my sweet baby girl.
Free from pain.
Free to eat again.
Free to wonder thru the flower beds again.
Sleep well my baby girl at The Rainbow Bridge.
Love, Mom

I just want to say I am sorry for all of your losses and I understand the pain of loving so deeply and losing that precious pet or loved one. I pray for God to be of comfort and help you to find peace in your hearts.

My Doberman,Fancy was my Birthday present when she was just a itty bitty and Penny Lou who well was just my Penny Lou.
Fancy had just had puppies and while she was pulled down a bit she wasn't unhealthy and penny lou was healthy as a horse.
We had let Penny run free awhile and the next day she was dead. Well I thought she had gotten into something but the next day my doberman who hadn't been lose to run around died also. It wasn't the food because the pups ate the same. I cant prove it but I think they were poisened. I cant hardy stand my precious babies to have died especially this way.. I also have 3 babies in heaven (tubel).

A few months ago my beloved Shitzu, Nikko choked and died while
eating a treat. He was a part of me and I am so lost without him.
I bred him and had him since birth and can't begin to explain the pain that I am going through. I have created a petition so that this does
not happen to another animal. Please click and sign

Thank you so much.

Sara, I cannot give you advice on what to do at work. Even though I no longer work, I am retired, I still cannot say Jasmime's name without shedding tears, without having a pain in my heart. I lost her 09-04-09 to a drug I gave to her ProIn. Here you can express your sorrow and noone will say "it's just a dog". People who say this have never walked in our shoes and never shared the love and campionship that a furbaby provides and they are missing out on so much in life. She was your child, your best friend.
Be strong Sara. If you are concerned about 'it's just a dog' just tell them you lost someone dear and precious to you.
My thoughts and prayers will be with you today. Come back often to share your grief. We are here to listen.
Cheryl and Angel Jasmine

Hey Sara,
You have come to the right site hunxxx
Everytime you feel sad just remember that she knew you loved her very much and that you gave her the best life possible. So think of it this way she is watching over you now and still sending her love to you. we are a great website and you can always chat to anyone on here, as we all feel the same way that you do.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks for this site. I do not know what to do, my dear Camila, was not a dog, she was my best friend, my only one. She died last Thursdays at 9;10pm. I cannot stop to cry since. I have to go to work tomorrow and give a presentation. I am afraid to broke in tears, with people that would not understand. You know the kind of people that think that you are not in control of your feeling and not serious professionals. It happens to me when my mother died, I was pretty distressed and I felt that people could not understand it. I promise I would not talk to anyone about Camila's death, at work, because I do not want to listen, well is only a dog. Some suggestion for your first day at work after the loss of your dear pet.
thanks a lot
Sara

thank you
I had no issue initially, and if any one of those people asked me to help them with saving an animal I would still do it in a heartbeat, because that is the only thing which matters. However I cannot speak and to quote you for the other "side."

Thank you Darrell. I really appreciate you compliment. CHRISTMAS is my favorite holiday. I have a senior with bad allergies so I am sharing with my experience.
"IMO it no longer matters who has started it. It only matters that it ends now. I think it would be peachy keen if all future posts in this thread would concern the thread topic and that alone."
There is no "they" -- only "us." "We" need to get alo…
Will do. The person I spoke to is a fantastic person, one of the best people I know. They are going to check around.
