Hey Ya'll....
Boy this thread has ripped me down one side & slap up the other (But It's all Good)... It's so nice to see so many animal lovers among us & to be able to share our joys & tears! I was actually shocked to see so many recent losses but it is so nice to see the compassion & it is obvious how much we all clearly loved our pets!
My grandmother (whom was a very religious person) used to always say that you could tell a lot about a person based upon the way they treat their pets... & she used to say that the Bible clearly says All Creatures go to heaven: *Genesis 9:(8-17)* but that's only one example out of many references to that! Since that is based on FAITH (& that's all I have had to get me thru many scenero's when all else fails) I have to believe it & have faith in that,,, & I Really DO!!!
I too am truly sorry for each & everyone of your losses as I know & understand the grief & pain you are experiencing & I wish I knew the magic words that would make it not hurt so bad... but I don't, cause "IF" I did I wouldn't have such a Heavy Heart with paw prints running all over it down to the very pit of my stomach myself.
They say TIME heals all... but I am not real sure it is that easy, or that's all there is too it.... TIME is a process, (not a matter of measurement with hours, minutes & days).... it's a process that involves acceptance & finding peace & finding a way to cope with the adjustments & new routines of "not" having our loved ones by our side... they had become such a great part of our lives that maybe we didn't even realize how much they occupied (not only our homes, but or hearts & time too) till they are no longer with us....
Personally I can't do a darn thing without thoughts & memories racing thru my head... it's like I see her everywhere, & every little thing I do reminds me of her... (it's almost like I expect her to come running up at any given moment).... My bed feels so empty I can't sleep..... I can't pull up a chair & sit at the table without just getting my tummy in knots, & loose my appetite! (which hey that might be a good thing considering my recent weight issues)...
But my point is.... a loss like this is tremendous, & I just am soo thankful that I didn't have to go thru this on TX.... I don't know about ya'll, but I was an emotional wreck on TX & I really don't think I could have gotten thru a blow like this as fragile as I was.... so those of you that ARE having to do this (especially on TX)... please feel free to discuss your emotions, there is no since bottling it up inside.... I just want ya'll to know that you are NOT alone, & that the grief you are experiencing is very normal & if any of you want some extra support I can be contacted thru Heidi's memorial page... they even have candlelight vigilances over there on Monday nights & I'd be happy to join you in one of those... (heck I may even sign up for one of them on behalf of my loved one)... I just want you to know you are not alone!
Miki, That was a beautiful Flash & Foresee that was an awesome poem
HTownWife, Foresee, GrandmaA, CirQdusoliel,Wyntre... I really am incredibly sorry for your losses... & although I am just thoroughly convinced we'll all see our babies again, it doesn't make the pain any less... I'll keep ya'll in my prayers,,, & Hang In There!

Hi Wyntre! So sorry to hear about Bonnie. We too, had to put our beloved basset hound, Hunter down about a month ago. He was 14, totally deaf, and beginning to lose his vision. He also lost bladder control, and when we took him to the vet found he had cancer that had spread to his stomach and intestines causing him to lose control. I know how hard it is to part with such a dear friend....our boys had grown up with him!!
I know he's in a better place now, but that doesn't keep you from missing them.
Hope you're doing ok!!
