Thanks To All Of You From Sasha's Mom, Thanks for your kind words Options

[Nanpacific]

I want to thank all of you for your kind words. I must say I had a terrible night last night and could not sleep. I think I cried most of the night for my Sasha. I know she is out of her pain now, but I just really miss her. It was not the same not having her there in the morning for me. I guess what bothers me the most is that I am afraid I will never see her again. I slept with her collar under my pillow as it is the last thing she had on. I only have my photos and memories left.

I want to tell you about Sasha. I wish I had a picture to post but my computer crashed last month and I lost all my photos. She was absolutely beautiful - both her parents we champions and her mom was a silver brindle scottie so she was black but had occasional silver hairs. She loved to go into the world. She pranced proudly around when you took her to a park or a mall.

She was an incredible watchdog and very protective of me when my husband was gone. In fact she ran off a couple of undesirable people who came to my door when I was there alone.

We spend several months a year in Mexico and she loved it there. She used to sun on the terrace and bark at the wildlife. We never had any trouble driving there with her in the car. No one ever broke into the car since she was there. She even alerted us to mice in the house. When she was only 9 months old she got a rat and brought it to me as a gift. She was always bringing me "gifts" when she was young. She would drop whatever at my feet and give a little smile. She was jet black so her white teeth would stand out when she smiled.

She is greatly missed. I find I am still crying today and don't really feel that much better. Not sure if I can make it to work tomorrow.

Thanks again fro all your kind words!

I am going through the loss of my security too, I could sleep more soundly with my Moose cause he was my protector. The hardest part is getting used to them not being here for the everyday things. Dinner time was a hard one for me it was the first time I had dinner with out Moose in almost 10yrs. It has been a hard road, and I cant say I'm better for it, I can only say I am getting better. God bless you. Crying is the only way we have to release the grief so let them flow! Pamela

Nancy-
I hope as time passes your pain will ease.
I am still missing my Indy so much.
Thanks for sharing more on how special Sasha was.
Terriers are indeed protective of those they love. They have hearts of lions despite their small stature.
I chuckled about the "gifts" Sasha brought to you. Indy was quite a gift giver too.
They're so proud of their conquests!
Sorry about your photos.
I would have loved to have seen a photo of your darling.
I am a big fan of the Scottie breed and Sasha sounds beautiful.
Take care of youself.
Thinking of you.

Hi Nancy,
I know it will take a long time for the tears to stop and for the ache of wanting to hold your little girl. Sasha sounds like she was a wonderful girl who knew how to have fun in life and live and love to the fullest. What a doll she must have been and before we got Snookie we thought about getting a Scottie. We were told however that they wanted to run off every chance they got so we went for the miniature schnauzer instead.

I believe with all my heart that one day we will be with our babies and hold, love, and kiss on them again. I could not take another step if I did not believe it.

Sasha sounds like such a wonderful dog. I know you must miss her terribly.

You're in my thoughts.

Hi Nancy,
Sasha sounds like a very special & beautiful dog who really enjoyed life, & was very protective of you. I can just imagine her sunning herself on the terrace in Mexico! I know the pain of missing her is still very raw. My Winston passed on, on Saturday (thankyou so much for your very kind words on my entry), & I miss him terribly. Like you say, having a momento, like Sasha's little collar, is a comfort, but not the same as having them with us. Winston sometimes slept on an old pullover of mine - I can't bring myself to wash it as it still has a faint smell of him, & his little black hairs. They leave such an empty hole in our lives, don't they, when they pass on?
My thoughts are with you.
Hugs,
Elsie
