thank you for welcoming me I lost my girl Maggie 1 year ago Sept 11, 2020. She was 10 1/2 yrs old I got her when she was 5 weeks old. I knew she was special because she was born on Christmas and was a true angel and boy was she!! She was a beautiful white sable German Shepherd and we were together every day 24/7 for 10 1/2 years. She was everything I needed her to be just like she knew what she was supposed to do. She was loving but also very protective and so intuitive. In February 2020 she was diagnosed with kidney disease and I Knew it was just a matter of time. I was kind of thankful for the pandemic because I got to spend every day of those precious last months with her. In the first part of September he stopped eating and got soo sick I knew it was the end, we took her to the emergency clinic and their advice was to put her to sleep. SO I made that hard decision because I promised her I would never let her suffer and I would be with her at the end. I kept those promises and she died peacefully in my arms. This last year has been hard without her but its getting better slowly. I will never ever forget my wonderful girl and what she brought to my life! Thank you for listening <3-
Aileen, Thank You for sharing with us – we understand the heartbreaking part of fulfilling our promises back to our beloved friends to whom we committed, that we won’t let them suffer, and what you did was only in Maggie’s best interest, not your own. You are Maggie’s angel, too :-). I don’t know what a white sable German Shepherd looks like. Do you have pictures you can share with us? We do welcome you to our caring community, and if you scroll through some of the posts here, and read some that touch you, I know your words of sympathy and understanding will be welcome and meaningful. I hope each day you find smiles before tears. I know Maggie’s birthday may be tough for you, so please….know we are here for you, and are thinking of you.-
thank you how do I post a picture of her?

There are no good ways to say goodbye but, dying in our sleep, or being held by a loved one, seem to be the kindest ways, to me. In that, you were both lucky. It hasn’t been very long for you, Rosemary, and I hope you allow yourself to grieve as you need. Please let us know how you are doing. We’re thinking of you. -

Thank you so much for caring about my Shirley. Yes most of her kitten’s had alot of black on them. Sadly I just lost her on September 13th, 2021. I held her, talked to her and kissed when she passed on.I miss her so very much.-

Oh good. The author, Reagan Pasternak, is an actress who had a really hard time when Griffin died, and had to write this book/journal to help herself move through it. (You can listen to my Paw’d Cast interview with her by clicking the purple microphone icon on the upper right side of this page if you like.) It’s a good way to get out feelings and I think will make you feel better. But Martha, I hope you will embrace the fact that you shared your love and a wonderful life with Missy, and as sad as it is, our pets are only “on loan” to us. That’s the really hard part of loving, and being loved, so much. Let us know how you are coming along, and when you use the book, please let us know how it helps.-

@loriann Hello Lori, and welcome to our caring community. I am very sorry for your loss of Jessie and wonder how you are doing? How long were you together, how did you meet, and how long has it been since you parted? We’d love to see pictures if you like. Please let us know how you are, Lori. We’re here for you.

Martha, I am so sorry and still say it hasn’t been very long since Missy passed, and of course you are still very much in pain. If you want to journal and have a supportive, kind of ‘guided’ path through your grief you might find the book (in our shop) “Griffin’s Heart” helpful. Others in our community have found it helpful. But I think you are doing just what you need to – acknowledging and sharing your pain with people who really ‘get it’ and feel your sorrow with you. I’d love to hear more about Missy and see more pictures, and get to know her better. You are in my thoughts and I am sending you endless HUGS……-

Continue to be so lost without my sweet Missy. I cannot get through a day without tears flowing. I pray every day that this pain will be less.

Oh boy, Rosemary. This really touches me because she and my old girl (17 1/2) could be twins. I don’t think mine ever had kittens. Did Shirley’s babies look like her? How long has it been since you said goodbye ? We know intellectually that she enjoyed a long life of loving with you, but boy, it just hurts so much… I’m thinking of you and sending you hugs….-

Oh, what a sweet face, Ann. She must have been adorable in her shirts. I hope you share some pictures of her in them. I know what you mean about ‘everyday’ things – a toy, a blanket, the pet food aisle….they can all trigger grief that wells from deep within. Smiles are mixed in there, but it will be awhile before your memories bring smiles before your tears. We do understand and are here for you to share your feelings and stories about Daisy Mae with us. We want to know how you are doing, so please keep us posted (and share Daisy Mae in some shirts if you can). I am sending you my sympathy, along with others in our caring community. -
