I just read your post about getting ashes.
I have my pets ashes, and my Boo is going to be buried with me.
Since I haven't decided what I want, my hubby knows if I'm cremated the ashes get mixed in mine, and then I don't care what happens to them...
Put me in the ocean, blast me off to the moon, as long as I have my Boo with me.
My other dogs are big, so I ordered extra large urns for them. They are wooden and have a spot for a favorite picture on the side, and they have the pets name and dates burned (etching) into the wood. I ordered extra large ones so I could put a favorite toy and their collars in with them(their cremanes).
If these fit, they will be buried with me.
If not, I just want them buried together some place.
Hopefully you don't have to make up about these things too soon, but it is best to be prepared, so you aren't rushed for a decision.
Take care

I remember this is a special day for Clyde. I hope your wishes came true.

she's still hanging in there, and she will make it to her birthday and more. She didn't eat mon,tues and wed and we feared the worst but she stuffed her face the last 3 days. She still loves her walkies too and seems happy too.

I am glad to hear you are still having some quality time together. I wish you many more of these. Each day together is a priceless gift to treasure that will stay with you forever.

Lots of hugs and kisses for Clyde. Love is strong and I think that is where our strength and the strength of our babies comes from.

It is so good to hear that Clyde is still with you Surinder.....His birthday is coming in just a few more days if I remember correctly.

Enjoy the moments you have together. It's a miracle knowing Clyde is still taking those walks with you. The memories we make today are the treasures of tomorrow. Rejoice in these special times with Clyde.

Peace and love to you this day and everyday.

It is wonderful that you have these days to treasure, Even though they may be sad ones, they are yours to keep!

I've been thinking of her and you. I'm so glad you're still together.

She was sick this morning, she has been alot of times over the last few weeks, mainly just fluid, but this time there was blood in it so now it looks like im gonna have to see how it goes these next few days and make a decision :-(

I'd rather let her go like this than her being a total shell of herself who is incapable of being a dog. She's still going walkies and has still eaten of and on, problem is dogs are stubborn and can go through so much more than people, it's our duty to help them and let them know it may be time before they get too sick that we have to say goodbye :-(

Here's me dreading the next few days but thanks for the support X

This would be a good time to talk to your vet about what is happening and about seeing blood. I remember what I was told about my German Shepherd as far as things to watch for. I do hope you call your vet asap.

and give Clyde lots of hugs and kisses.

It is an impossibly hard thing to face.I know...I am finding out right now.I had to let my George go....Because I loved him so.Only through facing our grief can we learn to go on living.
we will be united again,and so will you.We are all here for you.

It's her birthday today and she's still with me

My girlfriends grandma is making her favourite meal, a beef joint all for herself. Hopefully she'll eat it, if not, i will make the call sooner, rather than later

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLYDE!!! I am filled with joy this morning having come immediately here to learn that Clyde have survived all this time. Both of you have received a miracle of hope together. The special love and time you have had together is truly the best birthday gift of all for both of you.

Here's hoping for a birthday filled with love and thanks. Both of you will continue to be in my prayers.

May God bless you both!
Beth

Sad news, she hasn't eaten her beef and is showing no interest in it. I built up the courage and called the vets, i managed to book for a vet to come out in the morning through all the tears and blubbering. She will be gone this time tommorrow.

If you love them, you have to let them go when the time comes, even if your heart feels like it will stop

I'm glad you got your wish about Clyde's birthday. I wish to say a soft Happy Birthday, Clyde...with a big hug and a kiss. I had marked this date on my calendar but I was waiting for you to come here first for an update.

I'm so sorry things didn't stay better. This is definitely the worst of times so today, on her special day, give her lots of hugs and kisses and tell her you will love her always. I know all of this will come naturally to you to do.

I am now typing through tears because I have been where you are and I remember that pain so well. It never goes away 100% but in time it stops overwhelming us.

When my Little Guy was ill, I took some of his hair from a brush and put it in a ziplock bag with a favorite toy and I had done the same thing with his twin brother, Keeper, who was at home for a mobile vet...who first gave him a tranquilizer so he would just be relaxed and allowed us a few moments to change our minds before the second shot.. He was having trouble breathing due to masses in his lungs and as much as we wanted to stop everything...we just couldn't do that to him. That was in 2002 and his lock of hair in his special bag is as soft as the day I put it in there. Sometimes I handle it and remember and know that is the only physical thing I have left of any of them but I can still touch them physically through their little bit of fur.

You said: If you love them, you have to let them go when the time comes, even if your heart feels like it will stop .

That is so true..letting them go is as close as we get to giving back to them unconditional love....they come before us.

Hugs to all of you. The tears are also flowing here. Clyde, you are a beautiful, wonderful girl and we will see you as an angel looking down at your loved ones and being there always for them.


For Clyde:

As your Clyde soars amongst the angels, may you remember and love her always for the difference she made in your life. Her memory will live on forever in your heart. Rejoice in the wonderful times you had together.

Even though you must say "Goodbye for now, " One day you will be saying, "Hello again."

Much love and many comforting hugs are sent your way from my heart to yours.

I don't know what to say because I'm still going through the aftermath of the same thing with Lenny.

I do know that although it hurts terribly, love is all about doing what's right for others and not yourself. It helps me a little to focus on that - maybe it might help you too.

Know, at least, that our thoughts are with you, and that there are people here (e.g. me just 4 weeks ago) who have been through this so you're not alone.

Take care, and don't let this stop you enjoying the good times that will pop into your mind. And don't be afraid to cry about them either.

Today all I can say is:


HUGS, Sinjii, many many hold tight hugs. And crying together. You are not crying alone. I feel that familiar pain coming back today and can give in for a while so I can shed some tears with you.

So sorry to see how much you are suffering like I am too. I just find out last monday afternoon 5/19/08 that my 11 y/o son Buster Australian/Shepperd Mix has two tumors inside his nose and it is getting to hard on him to breathe right, me like you don't know what would I do when the day comes to say goodbye, just can not believe this is happening to me too. I have been crying for a week now and no one know about it but me and feel like am going crazy and totaly lost just thinking that he will not be with me soon.
Some people have had told me to get rid of him and get another one [was hurt so much to hear this] can't believe that some people have no heart like we do, I only ask god to let me have him till the last minute and I know that will be together someday, he is still hear with me and miss him already, what can I do?
please help me! need to hear something from someone, till later Buster and havana.

Havana...........My name is Beth. I am here for you and so are others. Have you started a thread yet for you and Buster? My heart goes out to you just as it did to the writer here in Clyde's thread. The writer of this thread has not posted since he had Clyde put to sleep on May 21. I am keeping him in my prayers in the hopes he will rejoin us all soon.

I am sure you are very scared and ridden with grief right now. If you haven't done so already, start a thread and keep talking about what is going on with you and Buster. We can help support you during your time of need.

Remember that you are not alone. All of us here have suffered the anguish and grief of having had a furlove pass away.
Keep coming and sharing Havana. I will look for your thread very soon.

Many hugs and love to you Havana...........Beth

Here in this forum we help each other through the difficult and sad times and rejoice in our happier memories as well

Havana, as Beth said, stay with us. Start a thread and keep posting to it. It may not change what is happening, but it can help very much with how we cope with it.

Many of us have been through some very sad times - and many are still going through them. This is one place where you can pour out your heart and feelings and know that people will understand and not think you are weak or silly. Here, at least, we know how important our (furry) friends are - and we have all cried and still do for them.
