Yesterday my boyfriend Harry and I took Little Girl, our little sweetie, to the vet. I held her while her very gentle doctor gave her the injection that stopped her earth-heart...
She was almost 17 (her birthdate is May 1st, 1987). Over the past 2 weeks, while she was becoming weaker due to a heart defect she had been born with, she and I had many many many conversations. We shared many kisses back and forth (although in the last days she didn't want to be touched and I respected this).
I have never loved anyone this much.
I feel as though her 1st 10 years weren't the best. My life was always in such turmoil that she didn't hold the place of honor that she deserved. But she survived, bless her sweet heart!!! She survived and allowed me to make it up to her during the next 7 God-sent years. We were almost inseparable, night and day, and she absolutely knew how I felt about her. I have SO SO much to be thankful for. She has been my priority over everything and everyone else in my life.
I have been reading some of the posts at this board and am lucky to be part of this loving and compassionate family. We belong here, because the pain of what we're all going through is so uniquely excruciating that only each other can truly understand and offer the right kind of support.
I will be spending lots of time at this board. As time goes by I would like to post sweet Little Girl's picture at this site and share some special stories. For now I just need to get my footing in this new and strange world.
Thank you for all of your prayers--for Little Girl and for me.
Love,
Little Girl's Mommy, Kathy

God Bless You and Little Girl. My thoughts are with you. She is at peace, and someday you will be too. Just from your explanation I can tell that not only YOU loved HER, but SHE loved YOU! Unconditional, and never-ending. Reminds me of my relationship with Vernie.

You take care and get those feet firmly planted soon. We'll be here.

So sorry to hear!! Please come here and post when you need to. We will be here for you. You did a wonderful thing by helping Little Girl. She knows you love her, and she still loves you. Take heart in knowing that she is looking down on you now with total pride, bragging to "our" furbabies...."yup! That there is MY MOMMA" I can see her telling my Zipper puppy right now!! Hug to you in your time of need!! We all know how you feel here.......Zippers Momma

Kathy,

I'm sorry poor Little Girl had to leave you, but it was time for her to go rest. You had her in your life for almost 17 years "That's wonderful". I know you wanted her to reach her birthday... My Dusty passed away 3 weeks ago, just one week before his birthday and I kept paying we would be able to celebrate and throw him the best birthday party ever! But it was not to be... all his new furbaby friends took over the celebration plans, as they will for Little Girl.

You did the right thing by helping ease her pain, even when it tore you to pieces.
Little Girl loves each and every year she got to spend with you! She didn't care if things didn't go as planned... she was just happy to be part of your life. She loved you so much and she still does.

I know how difficult these next few days are going to be for you, so please come back and share some stories about Little Girl we would love to here all about her! It really does help. Post her picture as well , so we can get to meet her. We're here for you and will help you in anyway we can.

God Bless you,
DustyLove

It was one week ago today that my Little Girl passed. It still doesn't seem real. It's like a new world to me now---very foreign. I'm making it through somehow because I know I am not alone in this painful grief, and because I know Little Girl is experiencing no sadness or pain...

Thank you for sharing your stories with me, and for listening to mine.

Love to all,
Little Girl's Mommy, Kathy

I am so sorry about LITTLE GIRL. WOW 17 years. You should feel so lucky. To have love like you obviouosly have for that long is a gift. Cherish it. She was and is a beautiful girl. I'm sure that she is very happy.

Our beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy. I miss you more and more every day that you are not here. I look at everything around the house and only think of you.
I will see you one day and bring you tons of softies, your feather, a nice stick, and a ball of paper that you can fetch.
When your mom comes she will play "the claw" with you too!
Come say hi to me anytime in my dreams and give me your "cackle" I would love to see you again.
You saved our lives and taught us so much about love in every way
We will always miss you so so much. We love you Mister. Kisses on your cheeks. Mom and DAD

Dear Kathy,
I posted in your other post but I did want to say that Little Girl is very beautiful. It is a wonderful picture of her.
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.

Dear Little Girl's Mommy,
She is one of the most beatuiful cat's I've ever seen, WOW WHAT A BEAUTY. I've never had a cat but if I ever did I'd want one just like her. My heart truly goes out to you my friend & I can feel your deep pain. I lost my precious Duchess almost 3 weeks before her 5th birthday to a sudden & rare disease. We were not even aware she was sick & died so suddenly that I did not have a chance to say a proper goodbye. We were with her when she died but it was a blur & then she was gone. sad.gif My first 2 years with her were the most difficult because I had forgotton what it was like to have a puppy in the house again. As soon as she turned 2 yrs old she calmed down alot. I really became extremely close to her and was in tune with her & knew her, really understood her in every way. We just clicked & communicated in a way that all pet owners who have shared time with their pets could only understand. biggrin.gif When they are puppies / kittens they are so full of energy & playful but you really see them evolve into a more refined & mature pet as they grow. Thank God -- that I was able to have her for almost 3 more years where we really communicated & understood each other. In her young adulthood her true loving, caring, personality shone through & she also retained her playfulness from puppyhood. Just when I was really getting to know her --- she had to go to Rainbow Bridge. I guess it was time for her to go since she was here to teach me the meaning of patience, love, & understanding . She will always be in my heart wub.gif I now take these lessons with me & will practice them as I've recently adopted a new furbaby that will test me in every way. ohmy.gif She is alot like Duchess was in the beginning but I will have more patience with her because of what my precious Duchess taught me wub.gif
We are all better human being's for having known & learned the lessons our furbabies have taught us.
They will always be in our hearts never to be forgotton. In the time ahead we will heal but -- will have ourselves evolved for they have brought us to a higher level of understanding. We were chosen to be their caretakers
( EARTH'S LITTLE ANGELS ) because of our special capacity to love.
How very fortunate I feel to be counted among this very special group of human beings.
My love to you & your precious Little Girl
Hugs
