We lost our beloved Golden Retriever/##er Spaniel Thursday April 14, 2005. In only 2 more weeks she would have been 17 years old. I have had her forever and the pain is unbearable. She was the most wonderful friend I could have asked for in this life. She was gentle and caring. I don't know how I will go on without her. She was blind and deaf for the past 4 years or so, but even still she knew her family and got around our place with no problems. But she had a stroke and she couldn't stand up and her face drooped. It was awful. One minute she was fine and the next she was on death's door. We brought home our 2 college students as quickly as possible and the whole family was there with her at the vet's when she drew her last breath. All I ever wanted was for her to pass quietly, to go to sleep and never wake up. Having to make that decision for her was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I only wish I could feel her beautiful silky fur and hold her one more time. I am so very sad.

I am so very sorry that you lost your precious little girl. I know how painful having to put them to sleep is. I know we help them out of their pain, but oh my the pain it cause us. Still because we love them more than anything in this world we do what is best for them. I know it must have been a comfort for your little girl to be surrounded by her family in the end. It will take a lot of time and tears to work through your grief. I am just so sorry.
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 |

I am sorry too. My heart goes out to you. How well I remember those first hours, weeks, days and months. Keep coming here and posting and read some of the other stories. That helped me, although I know that right now, nothing really helps -- it is just pure overwhelming loss, pain and emptiness and that it feels unbearable. I know. Everyone here understands and cares. Bless you and your family.
Love, Marcia |

Dear Honey's Mom,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet friend. I hope that in time you can take comfort in the fact that her whole family was with her as she left for the Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure she felt that love all around her. Please come here often to post or just to read as we all know the pain you're feeling and will help you as you travel this most difficult road. Thinking of you, Lynn -------------------- Rusty, I will always love you and never forget you. Thank you for more than 7 wonderful years.

Thank you to my new friends who understand what this is like. I was feeling better yesterday and today I am very depressed again. I just want her back. I don't want to think of another tommorow without her. I am sorry too for all of your losses. You all have beautiful pets as shown through your pictures and tributes. How can I post a picture of my Honey?

Dear Honey,
It has already been a week since you left for Heaven. I still can't believe you are gone. Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were here. I love you so very much and I want you to know that you are the best dog in the world. I hope you are happy in Heaven my dear friend, my baby. Love, Lady -------------------- The Best Dog In The World Left Us To Go To Heaven on April 14, 2005. We miss her So Much!

Oh, your message to your precious angel Honey brought tears to my eyes. I can remember SO well how painful and hard those first few weeks are. I know how much you miss Honey. Right now it feels like you will never feel better. I promise you that in time the pain will become less for you and you will heal. Oh you won't ever forget your baby, and you wouldn't want to either. But someday you will be able to think of her and remember all those wonderful years you had together. You will be able to cherish the memories without so many tears.
The key towards healing is expressing your pain. Let the tears flow when you need to. Keep talking about her, either in a journal or in here to us. I made a little memorial for my Rachael at work. I have one whole cubicle wall dedicated to her life with me. I have beautiful poems that I have collected in here and pictures of her as a baby and older. That helped me heal, believe it not. I feel like I keep her memory alive. My thoughts are with you during this difficult period, Cheri -------------------- Rachael Ann

Dear Honey's Mom,
You poor dear ~ I can relate to all you wrote about how you feel as I lost my Ambie on 3/28 and it has been a whirlwind of emotions and the earth seeming to fall away ~ Sending HUGS out to you ~ please know I am walking that same path with you of missing a jewel of my heart ~ Sincere Thoughts, Kathryn -------------------- Peace Be With You ~ Kathryn ~ Angel Amber ~ Angel CC~ and Sammie
I lost my Amber Tabby Girl of nearly 20 years on 3/28/05 after a valiant battle with end stage CRF. Always a beacon in the storm ~ steady and true. C.C was my purebred White Angora I lost to cancer on 10/22/05 at age 13~ A Big Gentle yet Oddly Eccentric Creature ~Through his congenital deaf ness ~He brought an innocent joy to my life and light to my heart I also adopted an 8 yr old Burmese named Samantha who led me back into my own room ~ still a stranger to me ~ she sweetly gives peace to Amber's final days spent there and lights my way to see in the darkness of the spaces that my precious CC has left behind. |

Dear Honey,
Three weeks have passed now and it is becoming more real and I know that I can't feel your beautiful golden fur under my fingers anymore or smell your wonderful doggy smell. I miss you SOOOOOOO much. I don't cry as much now. I think that you are in Heaven with Tweety and all the other wonderful animals and I know you must be happy to see and hear again! I have a very sweet little stuffed dog that Ed gave me that looks just like you and I hold it when I go to bed at night and I say a prayer to God that he will hold you in the palm of his hand until we are together again. Next week is your Birthday. I hope you don't mind if I have cake and ice cream for you even though you are not here. I still want to celebrate one of the happiest days of my life. I will always be glad you came into my life, if only for a short time. I LOVE YOU sweet Pup Pep and I ALWAYS ALWAYS will. Love Always, Your Lady -------------------- The Best Dog In The World Left Us To Go To Heaven on April 14, 2005. We miss her So Much!

Oh how sweet and touching!
I can just feel the pain and emptiness you are feeling without your precious Honey. I am SO sorry! I think it would be a wonderful tribute to Honey to have cake and ice cream on her birthday. It brought tears to my eyes when you expressed how much that day means to you because it was the happiest day of your life. I'm sure it will STILL mean alot to Honey  Cheri -------------------- Rachael Ann

What a darling picture of your sweet honey. I am sure she would love for you to celebrate her birthday. I cried when I read it was the happiest day of your life. When my girls came into my life it was the happiest day of my life too.

I know you'll soon be coming up on Honey's 4 week anniversary, and I just wanted you to know that you're both in my thoughts. Kathleen -------------------- Shiloh and Hobbie, you're both gone from my arms, but forever in my heart.

It has been 4 weeks now since she left us and the pain has eased but the memory is so strong. I still can't bear to get rid of the tangible things that belonged to her. The last food she ate from is still in her dish, her beds are still there, her toys are untouched. How do you transition from acceptance to reality? I don't want to put them away...EVER. She was my best friend, the love of my life and I still want her to come walking through the door. I am glad we have this forum to talk through and to leave a message to those we love. Honey, I LOVE YOU BABY! Please know that. Nothing has changed in the past 4 weeks. I will ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU!! Please know it. Love, Lady

Dear Elizabeth,
It took me a couple of months before I could put Shiloh's leash away. I know how difficult the first few weeks and months are. Give yourself time. I still have not washed the Shiloh nose smudges off the window in the backseat of my car. I may leave them there forever. I'm thinking of you on this 4 week anniversary. Kathleen -------------------- Shiloh and Hobbie, you're both gone from my arms, but forever in my heart.

I can't believe it has been one year since you left. I miss you just as much today as that day a year ago. You are the most wonderful dog in the world. No matter how many years pass, I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!! I hope that you are happy in your heavenly home. I am praying that you will not forget me and that someday when I get there we will be together again. Look down on your garden today at 6:00. I have a present for you. We are sending some balloons your way to let you know that you are not forgotten and that I LOVE YOU ! I miss you so much baby girl. You were my best friend, my companion, my other child and a huge part of my life. Please know this. Rest In Peace My Dear, Dear Honey.
