grey14me Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Maybe I'm just being extra sensitive since losing Bailey last month, but I'm just torn up about all the hounds that we've lost here on GT lately...just so sad Quote Michelle...forever missing her girls, Holly 5/22/99-9/13/10 and Bailey 8/1/93-7/11/05 Religion is the smile on a dog...Edie Brickell Wag more, bark less :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lakelandgreys Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I haven't lost mine and I was thinking the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest argolola Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I was thinking about that too. August 17th was the anniversary of my daughter's death, so I've been sensitive as well. God bless the families of all who have suffered losses. Pups are family members too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest armanntoo Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It's been two months since our Percy left us, and every day i get upset when I see that so many more of our loved ones have been taken from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazehund Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 All four of my hounds are alive and well and I feel the same way too. Overwhelmingly sad here lately. I am so sorry for everyones losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianeFG Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I guess ignorance really is bliss. I very rarely came in Rememberance before because it made me feel sad. I had never lost a dog before, so I didn't realize just how important this area of the board is. I will always make sure I come in here to offer my support to anyone who loses their beloved pet. Not wanting to be sad is not a good enough reason to stay out of here. I've learned a lot this past week. Not all bad either. I've learned how much comfort can come for kind words from friends. Thank you all for coming to me even though nobody likes to be in this part of the board. I will be here for anyone that needs comfort........

ozgirl2 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Diane - I was the same way - stayed out of this thread until Cody died... And it DOES seem like we've lost a lot of GT dogs recently...

Guest MySkye Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I found this website a week before we lost Skye. I looked mostly at the Introductions and tried to read a few stories from this folder and ended up crying at work. When I lost Skye, outside of my family, there were not many whom I trusted my raw emotions with and then I remembered this forum and immediately found a place for my anger, my hurt, my tears and some solace those first few awful days. I feel better this week. The ache is still so huge, so tangible now. I still can't look at her picture, but I did take the dog bed cover that had her name embroidered on it (spoiled dog) and put that away. I can't look at her collar or leash and I think my DH must have moved her bowl because I don't think I could have beared that as well. I will continue to make this page a part of my routine for as long as this site is up and running. I found comfort and solace in these pages and I hope that I can give just a small part of that back. Warmly, Skye's Mommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundlov Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 We are losing way too many of our beloved puppers. It just breaks my heart every time I see another post. I know it's part of the circle of life, but I wish we could delay the outcome just one more day, one more month, one more year. Argghhhh. I hate to cry.

DustysMom Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm so sad about all our recent losses on Greytalk. I try to rationalize what seems like such an increase in deaths by thinking it's because so many more are being adopted into loving homes. They all knew what it felt like to be loved.

Guest BellaDonna1 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Do we ever get over this horrible pain? 1617137[/snapback] I was thinking that too.

Guest makosmom Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Do we ever get over this horrible pain? 1617137[/snapback] Never. Three years and counting since I lost my beloved Mako.

HooversMom Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Do we ever get over this horrible pain? 1617137[/snapback] There seem to be an awful lot of sweet babies crossing the Bridge lately. I can't bring myself to cry for my Sissy, going through chemo for a cancer that will no doubt cause us to have to say goodbye sooner than I'd like. The fact that we know they all have to go sometime, that we all gave them many lifetimes of love in the time they are with us, the fact that they touch our hearts in ways we cannot even fathom, doesn't seem to help much sometimes. The best I can do is cry for the losses of others here. I feel I know your dogs from all the wonderful stories, and I thank you for letting me share a little part of your beautiful dogs' lives. When my Fox crossed over last year, I made this page. Reading these words really helped me a lot, and I hope they can help someone else feel a little bit better: http://www.myweb.cableone.net/john505/loss.html "Life is a series of lessons, with the greatest for the last." -Arthur Conan Doyle Hooversmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lakelandgreys Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've not lost mine but as I was reading these I thought of Jan and what she goes through with the MSGAO. Then I saw her post. I see how each has suffered and grieved over the loss of their precious babies and I grieve with each one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FosterFlunker Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Way to many hounds have passed too soon. I have not had a hound leave me yet and dread the day. I did lose one of our cats on sunday.

Houndtime Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 My friends have lost 3 dogs in a little over a year. Sarah Leigh 13 Niles 12 Skylar 9, just last week. All three died the same day they took sick. When we read those posts, we sad for the losses, but we learn to appreciate what we have. We never know how long they will be here with us. Each one holds a piece of our hearts. I share the sorrow of each loss.

Guest FullMetalFrank Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 There have been so many lately; and it always takes me back to the day I lost Iberia and the incredible pain and sadness. My heart breaks all over again for those who have lost their babes. I am glad that we have a place to come and share our losses and vent our grief; and pay our respects to others who have lost family members. Loss is a part of life; but knowing that doesn't do a thing to ease the pain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaffyToons Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Do we ever get over this horrible pain? 1617137[/snapback] I really don't think so. They leave such a pawprint on our hearts that can never be erased, nor do I want it to be. It has been almost 2 1/2 years since I lost my Lexi, and my voice still cracks when I recount the story to someone. I know that I will never, ever get over it. I really do like to come into the Remembrance forum to offer the support I can to those who have recently lost one of their beloved, not that I can be of any help since I end up crying all over again. But if I can ease that awful initial pain (and it IS a physical, searing pain in the center of your heart), then that's what I do. It's just nice to exchange shoulders, I guess.

scullysmum Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I always check out Remembrance first before anything else. My first ever post was here I'm not always good at finding the right words to try to give a little comfort to somebody who's pain I know only too well, but I know from losing my Boyz that just to know that somebody else is thinking of you in your dark times gives comfort.

Guest Remembering_Trudy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I found this site the day after I lost Trudy... My first post was here in Remembrance. My user name was thought up that day. I'll probably never change it or my avatar pic of her. Does the pain ever go away? I don't think so. It's only been a year and a half for me and I was just crying about her. My heart hurts today. And a : for everyone else experiencing this pain.
