DiAnn thank you for the kind words. I'm sure that I am not speaking for only myself when I say that it is often hard to remember those memories when you are hurting, it seems like it makes the pain even more real but it is necessary. Our loved ones…
Shayterry, Camelia, Robyn and Michaela; Please know that you have come to a safe place where you are understood and embraced. Folks here are kind and compassionate, as I'm sure each of you are as well, and we can relate to this deep and painful loss…
Many of us here will be experiencing something we haven't had to in a very, very long time: a Christmas without our cherished companion(s). This will be the first Christmas in 9 years that I haven't gone to pick out a chew toy or treat for my Boo gi…
Many of us here have a lost a beloved companion and for many, like me, this will be the first holiday season without them. It's a very difficult and sad time. But, PLEASE remember that there are still thousands of deserving dogs, cats and other pets…
Marina, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that here you are welcomed to express your sorrow, your grief, your anger. We all understand. In time you will know that Tess is now at The Rainbow Brdige running free from pain.
My thoughts and pray…
When I lost my little Tess, I couldn't believe time has come! She was 14, and she was never without me; Tess followed me on my trips to Europe, I came to US from Romania with this little baby. She was a schnoudle, from mother schnauzer and father po…
Ashley Ashley, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Scooter sure was an adorable looking boy and I know you're in a great deal of shock right now. I lost my lab mix just a few months ago to hemolytic anemia. First, know that it's okay to cry.…
Mary Ellen, I'm so enraged at this! I hope you will pursue whatever legal avenues you can to make the police department accountable. If nothing else, seems they didn't have the right to forcibly enter your home without a warrant. You might want to s…
Cheryl; I'm so sorry about Jasmine. Boo was on ProIn almost all of her life. Apparently, labs and lab mixes are predisposed to incontinence problems. As far as I know, it never contributed to any serious health problems for her. For the last 2 years…
DiAnn, I know exactly the experiences you are feeling. The emptiness, the void., the anger. I lost my beloved Jasmine, 09-04-09, when I had to help her cross over The Bridge. Jasmine gave us 13 years of unconditional love and devotion. She did not h…
Your idea of putting your grief to work is a good one. You are an excellent writer....perhaps one day you could write a book for grieving pet owners? Of the thousands of books at my local hospice, there is only one (tiny book) on pet loss! I thought…
I lost the best companion a person could ask for on 9/9/09. Boo was 9 years old and contracted IMHA. Her daddy and I escorted her from her pain and sent her to the Rainbow Bridge. I have cried, for myself and for those whose stories I've read here i…
Michelle and Paul; my thoughts and best wishes are with you both and with everyone here who has lost a loved companion. The days seem to have 'holes' in them, don't they? I still long to see my gentle giant waiting for me to come in the door at the…
Paul, Wow... I didn't realize that you lost Webster on 9/9/09. I lost my Boo on the SAME DAY to the SAME DISEASE! (IMHA). How are you and your wife doing? Hard to believe today is two months to the day that we both lost our most beloved friends. I s…
Dsnake My deepest sympathy to you Dsnake on the loss of your dear friend, Buddy. I don't know off-hand what may have caused his sudden turn for the worse, but I'm confident that you did the right thing. 19 years!? That's a great run and I'm sure you…
DiAnn thank you for the kind words. I'm sure that I am not speaking for only myself when I say that it is often hard to remember those memories when you are hurting, it seems like it makes the pain even more real but it is necessary. Our loved ones…
I'm not telling you what to eat, just that I do not encourage the cruel treatment of factory animals, the way that they are transported nor the way that they are killed.
If you believe that the burger that you eat is in anyway moral, then go ahead,…
I think the lady has enough opinions,incluging mine so lets all get on with our lives and the care of our critters. Maybe we did some good maybe not.I dont agre with everything said but I dont expect the world to share all my views. Instead of carin…
