Paw Print Memorial, We miss our dog Options

[missingcyber]

It's been a while since I have posted. For all who are new, we lost our golden retriever on Oct 20 suddenly, she was just 6. We had a friend scan her pawprint from the vet with our favorite picture of her which we now have framed in our living room. I feel like she is watching over us now. I still think of her each day and can't believe it has been almost 3 months. The pain has lessened but the emptiness in my heart is still there. I just can't believe I will never get to see her again in this life. That makes me sad. I want to get a new dog but what I really want is to have her back. She was the perfect dog and to think about starting all over but I know I could learn to love another animal because so many need loving homes.

I love your photos..the avatar and the memorial. I am so sorry about your loss. 6 is too young to be taken but then I am glad you did have those 6 years with him.

I know what you mean about the emptiness. I lost my last baby, Little Guy in September and by the Holidays...I couldn't take the emptiness anymore so I adopted a 2 year old cat from the no-kill SPCA shelter. He was what I did need. By not having any babies in my home...it was just too empty feeling. He is his own baby but he was abandoned and taken to the shelter and he is so grateful to have a home...I truly feel blessed. If I can't have my babies back....I will see to it that a new one has the love and a good home that I can provide. He is a perfect distraction from the sadness that overwhelmed me since losing my last and my favorite baby, Little Guy. I've always felt that any I could take in would be one less that could be abused or neglected..since, sadly, that does happen in this world.

I wish you peace. It does help to remember the good memories when thinking of our lost one.....something they did or a picture we have that makes us smile...that is a baby step toward pushing away the sadness. We will cry until we can cry no more..but then sometimes we cry again. There is no time limit on our sadness but it really does feel so much better to remember good times and looking at photos helps us concentrate on those times.

Just remember, Cyber, is a part of your heart and will always be with you. Those memories can never be taken away. I understand when you say you could love another and give one a home. You will never be replacing Cyber but whatever you do to bring more smiles into your life will be approved of by Cyber. I have had more than 1 dog in my life and they love so much that an owner can never do wrong in any decision as far as they are concerned. Each baby is special in their own way.

Take Care and keep posting....let us know how you are doing.
