Our Precious Miracle Baby Options

[kestle]

Hello all.

Our "Baby" was born 27/11/97. She was a Patterdale Jack Russell.

She was dead at birth and left in the membrane by her mum who rejected her. I broke the membrane, she was lifeless. My husband tried to take her off me to bury her. I held onto her and told him to leave us alone. My husband went out in disgust saying "she's dead". I immediately started to vigorously massage here tiny body (about 5" long) and put her nose and mouth in mine, how long for I do not know. Suddenly there was a movement in one of her tiny paws. She then just sprang into life and squeeked. She was alive. I have never prayed so hard in my entire life.

I have always rescued animals, so perhaps my experience helped, my husband said that I must be a witch! She was so loved and spoilt. She was the boss. She was tiny but perfect, ginger haired and beautiful. I bottlefed her and I was her mummy.

It was her 13th birthday on the 27th November 2010. Her lovely ginger face was now white with age. I was so glad that she made it to 13. We bought her a new collar, lead and coat. She loved going out in the car and had lots of caravan holidays. Recently she just went out on little walks as she was doddery. From the 7th December she refused any of her favourite foods. On the 8th December her little legs began to give way and she just wanted to sleep. She was in the house on a quilt, comfy at the side of the radiator. She was telling us that the was ready to go to heaven. She went in her sleep peacefully, with my sons and I stroking and kissing her, holding her little paws. We are so grateful for 13 wonderful years and she will always be with us. She is buried outside my front door in her new coat, collar and lead.

My husband died five years ago aged just 53. He loved Baby so much, as we all did. I hope my husband is now looking after her as we have, our Baby was a miracle.

We are devastated yet happy for her.

Bless her, be happy our precious Baby, we love you so much.

It's the ones left behind who suffer. She really was our Baby from the day she took her first breath to the say she took her last. She was there for us and we were there for her. It could never have been long enough. ***

Those are wonderful pictures Gloria. You know I did tell myself "never again do I want to feel this pain"....but just reading your stories and looking at those pictures of your perfect family through the years makes me think....maybe I'll let a rescue sneak into my heart someday. Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Lots of Hugs,

Annette

Dearest Annette,

I am so very pleased you are considering a rescue it has really made me feel happy to know that you may offer some of your love to another little darling. It is NOT taking away any of your feelings but creating its own love in your heart and soul.
Good people are so precious and scarce in the world today, where there is so much cruelty and needy furbabies.

I hope in your own time you will just go and look around the rescue centres etc and you may see one and give it a chance of a kiss a cuddle and a loving happy life with you just as your precious Daisy had and always will forever.

It is NOT letting go but extending your caring nature. It is not always easy but i promise you it is worth it to try; after all what is there to lose? but maybe so VERY much to gain for both of you.

Here is a song which I think is very relevant.

Thank you for your kind and honest words, they really help others who have lost fur balls and are unsure if they can ever love another one again. You are right, people like all of us are fewer in number than the number of pets who need a loving home. While the pain from losing our beloved pets is difficult, it can never surpass what they bring into our lives.

Your story is an amazing one and I can see why you would feel such pain from the loss of your Baby. Thanks for sharing your letters and stories, as it helps us as much as it helps you.
