    What an amazing experience you had with the communicator. I hope that it proved to be helpful and comforting for Sadie.

     

    Matt sounds like an extraordinary soul and an unforgettable presence.

     

    Thank you for sharing this story.

    Such beautiful girl with such a beautiful spirit.

     

    Please don't second guess yourself--you made a loving decision for your sweet girl.

     

    Peace and comfort for you and freedom from seizures and medications for beautiful Kim :grouphug:f_pink

    I'm so very sorry for your family--what a heartbreaking loss.

     

    Clearly, Zelda knew how much she was loved and she blossomed in your safe, loving home. Thank you for sharing her touching story.

    I am so sorry for this sad loss--far, far too soon.

     

    Through pictures and the delightful stories that accompanied them you shared Maddison with us and now many GT friends are grieving with you.

    Well That Hit Me Like A Ton Of Bricks.

    My beloved Claire died 10 years ago (July 4th). She was with me for 17 years. I keep the little bed that I made for her in a box in my closet. It still brings me to tears to open that box.

     

    I think we still cry because the love we have for our "angels" doesn't ever die. Honestly, I don't want it to--I'll take the bouts of tears in order to have the loving memories.

    Sad Morning

    Bless you heart! :grouphug I have such respect for people who foster animals. You give your love to little ones knowing that you'll have the heartbreak of giving them up. I'm sure it would have been a little easier to see them going away happily in the arms of their forever families, rather than into SPCA kennels. Still, by giving them a good healthy loving start in life, you've truly given them a future.

     

     

    Do something nice for yourself to celebrate the brighter future you've given the pups.

    My Salvador

    in Remembrance

    I'm so sorry. Perhaps his spirit did not give up, only his poor body couldn't go on.

     

    I still have a box full of treasured reminders of my first "dog of my very own"--the beloved dachshund Claire, who was with me for 17 great years. For days after her death, I kept everything just as it had been for so many years--bed, food dishes, toys all in place. I couldn't bear to take them up (as if somehow that made her loss final?). Then there came a day when I couldn't bear to see her things anymore--reminders of the horrid loss. I boxed up the things I didn't want to part with. Trust your own timing--your emotions/heart/mind will tell you when it is time for each step in grief and healing.

     

    It is important to let yourself grieve as much and as long as you need to-- that is an important step in healthy healing. I cried off and on for months after Claire's death. I still tear up thinking of her loss after 10 years, but mostly I have all the happy memories of her and you will have all the happy, loving memories of Salvador to keep him as a loving and beloved presence in your life.

    What Do You Miss Most About Your Bridge Babies?

    in Remembrance

    Posted · Edited by LBass

    Claire was a dachshund, not a grey, but she was a treasure never the less.

     

    I miss her utter confidence that she was in charge of the World.

     

    I miss her company on walks. Even as she aged and tired easily, she loved to go for walks and I'd just carry her when she got tired.

     

    I miss the dancing delight with which she greeted me when her bedding came warm out of the dryer-- she could hardly wait to be tucked in and covered up.

     

    I miss chasing squirrels with her--Claire at the very end of her leash and me trying hard to keep up, or at least not to slow her down to much. ("We" never caught one.)

     

    It has been been nearly 10 years since she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 17. I think of her often--happy memories of the years of companionship and joy we shared and tears because I still want my "needle nosed tracking dawg" back with me now. :beatheart
