Cheryl, You did what you had to do by going to work. Any other day you would have come home to Daisy – right? I don’t understand why you think you would have known to stay home that particular day. Are you blaming yourself without reason? I totally get that – I think we all do – what we could have done differently….but Cheryl, how would you have known? How old was she? You thought you had another five years, so was she young? I am so very sorry and sad for Daisy and for you, but I also want you to know she had her path to follow and there is only so much we can do. I don’t think I am expressing myself adequately, but I hope you get what I am trying to say. You have my heartfelt sympathy.-
I just feel if I hadn’t gone to work that day I could have gotten her to the vet it’s just the way I feel. Daisy just turned 13 on Dec 1st very healthy girl thenl the seizures started I was always on edge after her 1st one wondering what would happen if I wasn’t home and I guess I found out the hard way
-
Cheryl, I’m sure you gave Daisy a wonderful life and she wouldn’t have wanted you to carry your guilt of not being with her the day she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Take comfort in knowing that Daisy will always live in your memory.

Pamela, Oh my goodness! What a darling Pepper Louise was :-)… What a tragic story – may I ask what happened? Had she been ill, or was she elderly? What breed/s was Pepper Louise? I am so sorry, Pamela.-
She got sick Labor Day night. She was about 12 years old. The vet thought she was part shi tzu.
-
She is 100% CUTE! I see her smile and am saddened for your parting, but what joy and love you shared. Keep us posted on how you are coming along, and if you want to share your support with others of us, that would be welcome, and hopefully help you feel better, too. Hugs

Sandra, Mindy was a pretty girl. I am sorry you had to say goodbye. Of course you are still having a hard time, Sandra – it’s only been a month, and we hope as time passes, pain eases, which it will, but that’s not really helpful right now while you are going through the process of loss and the attendant grief. What are you doing to help yourself get through this? Cleaning out her things, or donating them? Exercising or talking with family and friends? How can we help you – that’s why we are here. Sending you a HUG…-
Thank you the only thing I have left is her collar that she had on when I rescued her and her ashes

Wishing everyone a happy Easter 🐣🐰 I hope that all the wonderful fur babies get hugs kisses and a special Easter treat. If even just in our 💖 My girl always liked a little ham and veggies 😇
-
You are so kind to extend your Easter wishes to us, Valerie. Thank you. How are you doing with your missing Patch? Are you still keeping her special chair for her? Your kind words to others mean so much, especially coming from you, who understand so well the pain of parting. Hugs to You.

Ty. I had a bit of hard time like so many of us but I tried to concentrate on the happy times. This was first holiday without our my little girl. I will keep that chair till it falls in floor 😂 along with her favorite toy dam $tree monkey.. I gave her a piece a piece of ham in that chair yesterday and I could feel her smile. Although neighbors that got together with me are convinced I’m weird 😁

I miss my Pepper Louise I lost her last September the day after Labor Day. I woke to her taking her last breath. It still hurts-

Cheryl posted a new activity comment 5 years, 7 months ago
I know she’s running and playing up at the bridge I glad she’s not hurting anymore. I didn’t expect it her death was such a shock to me and it’s going to take a long time to heal because I thought I had at least another 5 years with her-
I know what you are talking about. My Buddy beagle was only 7. I thought I had a lot longer too. My way of dealing with Buddy’s loss is that when I see a photo or think of a memory, after having that sorrow (I don’t try to keep it a bay) I think about that memory and how happy we were that day. It’s not a cure, there’s nothing for that, but it helps ease the pain of loss.-
Karen, You are so right to go straight through the memory and pain, to reach the memories of joy, happiness and the great love you shared. What a gift you gave each other, right? Love is a messy thing – especially with our beloved pets. It’s a deep feeling with extremes of joy and sorrow, but the joys win out over time. Thank you for sharing with us, and please share your special insights on healing with us, Karen. Hugs

Daisy started having seizures in Jan out of the blue she had a grand Mal seizure while I was at work and she was in respiratory distress by the time I got home. There was nothing that could be done the vet put her on oxygen but she was pretty much gone by then. I blame myself because had I not been at work I could have gotten her to the vet sooner and maybe she would still be here with me.😢💔 Thank you for caring-

I am sorry about your loss of your fur baby. We never stop.missing them, do we? For myself, l have found the more years that go by, the easier it is to dwell more on happy time l spent with my babies. And l don’t cry so much.
I hope the same will happen for you. God bless -

Thank you and I did post some pictures of her but will some more. She will always be my first love and no other dog will replace her-
Michael, of course no one will, nor should or could, replace Dixie. This is a sad, painful time and one day, you will have smiles before tears. I know you are already grateful for your lives together, but it hurts to say goodbye and I am so very sorry for that.

Michael, you and Dixie grew up, and she old, together. It’s just a shame our beloved pets are only “on loan” to us. I am deeply sad and sorry you ever had to say goodbye to Dixie, but you wouldn’t have wanted a life without her love and support, would you? And she knew you as her best friend who will always carry her in your heart, even when you open it to other loves, which you will, and it will break again, and you will always be fulfilled by knowing you can give love, and get love in return. It’s devastating Michael, to lose a beloved pet, and for you, one with whom you have lived most of your life. If you would, please share Dixie’s pictures with us. And please, stay with us in our caring community and let us know how you are. I will be thinking of you. Hugs…-

Dixie was a beautiful 16 yr old Yellow Lab that my family rescued. We had to put her down on December 10, 2020. I’m almost 17 so she was my best friend and her ashes are on my desk. My Parents paid for this so she will always be with me. Love and Miss you girl-

Cheryl, What a darling girl. I am just so sad for your parting. She was in pain? That is so awful, and of course you are relieved for her release from it. We always want what’s best for them, even though we will suffer the pain of having to live without them. The joys of living with and loving them will one day bring you smiles before tears, but right now, you go through the hurting with us….we know, and we care. I am so sorry, Cheryl.-
