I Miss You Baby Girl Options

[Miss you Sydney]

It has been 2 weeks since I had to let my baby of 15 years go. Her name was Sydney and she was an Australian terrier xBelgian Shepherd. There will never be another dog like her. HEr kidneys failed and she couldn't keep any food down. She went from 12kg to 8, in spite of me trying everything. I miss her so much. This week I am picking up her ashes from the vet and I think this will be very hard. I have ordered a teddy bear to put her ashes in so that I can cuddle her and feel close. I miss her little furry face poking around the corner of the door and coming to hang around while I cook dinner. Forever seems like a long time to never see her again. I'm so lonely without her. She was my first dog.

Does anyone have some ideas for a memorial?

Sydney’s mom….
I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. It’s horrid and hurts like nothing else! The loss, I know, feels overwhelming. I lost my cat of 16 yrs just over a month ago and it’s been agonizing…a pain I’d never known. There are many people here who are going/have gone through the very same loss and pain so understand where you’re at. And coming here to the forum probably kept me from drowning in pain when I first lost Molly—the pain was excruciating, I just didn’t know how I was going to survive it. But coming here has helped and I would encourage you to keep coming back and writing about how you are feeling and what you’re going through. I really liked your idea of putting Sydney’s ashes in a teddy bear, how sweet and, like you say, a way to cuddle him still. My heart goes out to you!! - Molly's mom (snapdragon)
