Hello.Well I don’t know what to say because I am lost without Princess.My house just isn’t the same anymore.I miss her barking at the wind,or anything that moves outside.I guess I am numb from her sudden passing.I talk to her at night.I tell her I miss her and love her very much.
I don’t even know how to explain to my three year old grandson who asks “where’s Princess”?
I am trying really hard. View

Truth. ell your grandson the truth. Our pets, just like everything – really, everything, only get to exist in physical form for awhile, but their energy and memories and Love are everlasting. Look at trees this time of year-every leaf must change and fall. Maybe he will understand that. Oh Dianne, it IS empty and quiet. I think that is one of the hardest things – she isn’t there to talk and cuddle and just be there with you. That’s why I found even a stuffed toy so helpful for me – something to fill some empty space, to hold on to and talk to and cry on…..it’s why we’re here with you. We can never. no one can, take the place of Princess, but we share your pain and sadness. We’re here with you to care and know the depth of your pain. And, we know, as do you, how tremendously lucky you and Princess were to have the quality of love and life you shared. Please think of how fortunate you both were, and are, to have shared your lives. It’s sort of all we can hope for, isn’t it? I am, we all are, thinking of you with sympathy ……. HUG HUG HUG Toni -

Hi.Well,it’s been four days now since my best friend died.My little Chi mix Princess was my best friend.I had a morning routine.I would get up at 5:20 every morning and say “come on let’s go potty”.She would bark as to say “okay mom”.And I still do that.She doesn’t respond…😞😞.I look for her when I come home,and the house is quiet.My life isn’t the same without her.I am so alone..I don’t know if I will be able to get over her death.

Dianne, I questioned how I would get through my loss, and very unexpectedly, ended up taking care of a friend’s cat for three months. I can tell you that was exactly what it took to help me, even though I wasn’t “ready” for a new friend (so I thought). Maybe you can visit a shelter to visit with pets who would love some company, not to adopt them yet, but to remind you of the many loving lives who will enjoy your time and attention,, But it has only been four days, and Dianne, geez, you hurt. Princess is such a part of your life and always will be, and life without her will be so much different. But she enjoyed the long, loving time you shared, and it’s on us to honor our beloveds by remembering the many gifts they gave us. What a shame our pets are only ‘on loan’ to us, but, we will all pass on from here, and want those left behind to be grateful and happy for the time we had together. I know, really know, how horrible you feel and how hard this is. I, and we in our community, feel the depth of pain you are feeling, and I want you to know, you can think of the good, fun, funny and silly times, and find some comfort there. Our next group meeting is October 20th. I hope to see you there. And, please read the October newsletter for the link. In honor of my Beauty Girl, for only $10. you can post a lasting memorial to Princess on our site. I hope you do and find comfort in that. {{SYMPATHY}} Toni

Hi Toni,
I don\’t know how to say this but my dog Princess passed away today.
She had a cancerous mass on her belly and backside removed a few months ago.
I got up and walked her at 7 am and walked her again at 9:12am and as soon as she got on my porch,she suddenly couldn\’t walk.I picked her up and took her inside where she went fully limp.So I laid her on her blanket,and she seemed to be coming around.She are,and drank some water.Then during the rest of the day she seemed fine.So about 6pm I took her out again,with no problems.Then she was laying on her blanket,she suddenly started having breathing issues.Then she defecated all over herself.So as I laid on the blanket with her,her soul already left,as she couldn\’t see or hear me,and then her breathing completely stopped In a matter of five minutes,her tongue turned blue.
I have had her for 12 years. She was my best friend.-
Oh Dianne, you say it beautifully. I am so very sorry. She was so strong for so long, and you shared the gift of a loving life, and a passing into peace. I know there is a huge hole in your sole. We are all thinking of you and will be here waiting to hear from you. Call me if you want to chat. I am so, so sorry, Dianne. {{HUG}}
