Please don't ever worry about the length of a post sometimes what we need to say comes out long at times and that is ok. I just read your post and the tears are streaming down my face. I felt like I was right there with you feeling both the love and the pain prior and after little Abby's passing. I could feel your broken heart and see your lips kissing your darling girl and wanting her back with all your heart. I could picture your tear streaked face and you calling out to God for your darling baby.
What a precious picture of Abby she was a beautiful doll and like Snookie by just looking at her you can see she was spoiled. I knew from the day I brought my puppy home I would spoil her rotten. People used to say to me you could see she was spoiled just by looking at Snookie. Well that's what I got her for to love and spoil and to give her a wonderful life. Maybe Abby's little spirit went into you when she passed away so you would always have her in you always. I am sure that Snookie came into me too when she drew her last breath. The thought that she is in me makes the pain easier to bear. I let go of Snookie when she died and just bent over her body like I was a tent over her not touching her for a minute until I yelled oh God please no not my baby don't take my baby oh God just give her back. I can't live without her please God. I just kept begging Him over and over again for it to be a nightmare. My family was hugging me and then I grabbed her in my arms and started kissing her still warm body. What a blessing we have all had in loving our wonderful babies and being so loved by them. As Pamela told me Snookie was truly a gift from God that I had to give back for a little while. But someday we will hold them again and we never have to part from them again. Thank you God for this hope that lets us carry on and find a little peace while we wait to be reunited. Love, Ann -------------------- My girls went to the Rainbow Bridge 6 weeks and 3 days apart. Snookie had cushing's disease, and later developed diabetes. Both had cancer, Snookie had cancer of the liver, and Chili Bean had cancer of the pallet. Chili Bean was our son's chihuahua but we kept her often throughout her life and she stayed with us for the last 9 months of her life. Chili Bean also had asthma and heart failure. We will see you in Heaven my precious darlings. Snookie Lynn Howard 2-04-94 - 12-26-04 Senorita Chili Bean Bubbles Howard 11-05-94 - 11-11-04 |

Dear Abby's Mom-
Thank you for sharing your story of those precious last moments with your beloved Abby. Like you, I can recall every detail of Indy's last 24 hours. I relive it over and over as do you. I think that in her final moment you had a truly unique experience. Not somehting to question but a way to cherish the special bond and love you and Abby shared. My thoughts are with you.

Abby's Mommy,
I'm so glad you shared this with us. What Ann said makes so much sense that her spirit passed into you. What a special bond you had with Abby, so beautiful. I love the picture of her with her sweatshirt on, just an angel. We were very lucky that Dieter had a peaceful passing. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to decide to do, but I loved him more than anything and just wanted peace for him. I am forever changed since losing him, I lost a big part of me that day, but life still moves forward. I cherish the thought that one day we will all be reunited with them. thinking of you Libby -------------------- Dieter you will live in our hearts forever

Dear Abby's Mommy,
Thank you for sharing your intimate story with us. I think animals do communicate with us, if we'd only listen. You listened to her. You two were spiritually in synch from the moment she said her loving good bye to you till you saw her shadow leave her body. In a melancholy way, I'm happy for you that you got to experience that!  Hold onto it and cherish it All my love, Punky's Mommy -------------------- Bright Eyes, burning like fire. Bright Eyes, how can you close and fail?

Dear Abby's mom-
Thank you for sharing the story of Abby's passing. I know from posting the story about Shiloh's passing that it's a very healing thing to do. What a beautiful moment you and Abby shared as her spirit left her body. I think her spirit was filling you with all the love that Abby had (and still has) for you so that you would always be confidant in the great bond that the two of you had. Love, Kathleen -------------------- Shiloh and Hobbie, you're both gone from my arms, but forever in my heart.

Abby's Mommy,
What a beautiful story about your precious Abby. You will never, ever forget your little girl. That is just so wonderful that you got to look into each other's eyes and to see her little spirit and have her come to you again. Abby will always be there with you in your heart. Love, Marcia |

Abby's mommy,
What a lovely and heart-felt story. I am dreading the time when we will have to put Lucy down. We got her lymphoma diagnosis 3 weeks ago and I don't know if each day I wake up it may be the day that she is ready to go. It really helps to read other people's stories. I feel like I will be going into the situation with some information and know a little bit of what to expect. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Abby's story with us. It is helpful for you to write about Abby because by doing that, you are honoring her. It is also helpful to the rest of us, because we know we are not alone. Abby is a beautiful girl. I am sure her spirit passed through you as she left. I am also sure that she continues to watch over you now. Caroline |

Dear Abby's Mommy:
What a beautiful, precious, adorable picture of Abby........ I live in Mass...........and Maine is one of my most favorite places to visit..... QUOTE When she died, something passed between she and I. I have yet to find someone who can tell me what. When she died, she simply collapsed in Lynn's arms and at that moment, that very moment, something passed from her eyes into me. I felt it, I saw shadows of it leave her body. There is no question in my heart, in my mind...........that Abby's beautiful spirit, soul, "life-force", went into you; The Person...........the MOMMY THAT SHE LOVED THE MOST!! I KNOW THAT SWEET ABBY is up at Rainbow's Bridge, and I feel quite strongly that you will feel her visit you and your husband quite often.......I don't know how......But, I know that she will. God Bless You & Yours, Love, Denise xo p.s. Enjoy your fur "granddogs"...

Oh, thank you for sharing what happened. It especially touches me because of the fact I could not say that goodbye to Moose. It was bueatiful that you got to say goodbye and she was with you. It is a good thing that you have shared I cried for you and Abby as I read.

Thank you for sharing that story. I really do like to read other experiences people have. Somehow it lets me know that what I went through was not unique, that many of us had to help our precious babies pass and watch them take their last breath.
I am just elated to read that you felt Abby's spirit transfer to you. It must have been SO touching and comforting to have just looked into each other's eyes like that. I held my Rachael in my arms, stroking her face and neck, but unfortunately she was laying down on the back seat of my car, so she wasn't looking at my face (she was laying on her side). Gee, I wish I would have made sure we were looking at each other like that. Cheri -------------------- Rachael Ann

Dear Abby's Mommy,
What a touching story. How much Abby loved you to look into your eyes like that. She just knew how much you and your husband loved her and she wanted to make sure that you knew how much she loved (and loves) you. What a precious girl. I know that writing about Abby's last day was so difficult for you but at the same time, like Kathleen said it was healing. You deserve that, Abby's Mommy, to finally feel a sense of peace, if only a little for now...............I believe you (and all of us) will feel more peace with the passing of time. I have to believe that. I love that picture of Abby in Maine. She looked so cute in her hooded sweatshirt. Thinking of you, Abby's Mommy.............. Love, Lynn -------------------- Rusty, I will always love you and never forget you. Thank you for more than 7 wonderful years.

QUOTE (CheriAnn @ Jan 28 2005, 07:14 AM) Gee, I wish I would have made sure we were looking at each other like that. Cheri I know what you mean Cheri. Punky was blind and deaf by his last day so eye-contact was not an option. We only had the sense of touch and smell left to eachother. I am afraid I was so upset - almost hysterical with panic, anger, and grief - that I did not get to feel my Punky pass through me. I regret that so much, but there was just no way that I could have been calm and open under my cir%%stances. I only hope that he did not have additional suffering through the procedure from feeling how upset I was. He was my heart. Mi Corazon. -------------------- Bright Eyes, burning like fire.

Abbys Mommy
It was around the second month that I could look at my boys pics. It is now just a few days past 3 months that Moose has been gone It does get just a bit better....with the passing of time, whether we want it to or not. I have been missing Moose very much lately too. Pamela
