We lost our beloved Golden Retriever/##er Spaniel Thursday April 14, 2005. In only 2 more weeks she would have been 17 years old. I have had her forever and the pain is unbearable. She was the most wonderful friend I could have asked for in this life. She was gentle and caring. I don't know how I will go on without her. She was blind and deaf for the past 4 years or so, but even still she knew her family and got around our place with no problems. But she had a stroke and she couldn't stand up and her face drooped. It was awful. One minute she was fine and the next she was on death's door. We brought home our 2 college students as quickly as possible and the whole family was there with her at the vet's when she drew her last breath. All I ever wanted was for her to pass quietly, to go to sleep and never wake up. Having to make that decision for her was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I only wish I could feel her beautiful silky fur and hold her one more time. I am so very sad.

Oh, your message to your precious angel Honey brought tears to my eyes. I can remember SO well how painful and hard those first few weeks are. I know how much you miss Honey. Right now it feels like you will never feel better. I promise you that in time the pain will become less for you and you will heal. Oh you won't ever forget your baby, and you wouldn't want to either. But someday you will be able to think of her and remember all those wonderful years you had together. You will be able to cherish the memories without so many tears.
The key towards healing is expressing your pain. Let the tears flow when you need to. Keep talking about her, either in a journal or in here to us. I made a little memorial for my Rachael at work. I have one whole cubicle wall dedicated to her life with me. I have beautiful poems that I have collected in here and pictures of her as a baby and older. That helped me heal, believe it not. I feel like I keep her memory alive. My thoughts are with you during this difficult period, Cheri -------------------- Rachael Ann
