Sheshe Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Aria passed on 9-9-08, I have cried so many times and I just break down for no reason. We have adopted an new little girl and I am more active in our adoption group by fostering all in her memory. But I miss my girl. I miss her personality. She was one of those girls who came off the track and met her foster mom and said "ok spoil me". When she got to her foster moms home she went straight up the stairs jumped into the master bed and refused to move. We almost did not get her. The president of the group did not really care for her and thought we would do better with another dog, but the foster family prevailed and we got her. My life changed that day. She was the perfect grey. She never met a stranger. She smiled, she loved to talk and she would stick her nose up at you if she got miffed at you. As I held her head in my lap for her last breaths I did not know iif I was going to survie myself. She passed on her favorite spot on our couch. Some days I swear I can see her sitting there. I know the pain will get easier as time goes by but I have to say I so miss my little princess. I loved her soooo much. I love my other babies too but she was my first. Thank you for listening.

Guest nerak254 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I think there are lots of us who were lucky enough to have had a hound like that, who made a major impact on our hearts and that we still miss as much today as the day they sent to the bridge. Jessica was like that too. She was a kennel favorite and jumped on the couch the minute she walked in the house. She was also really naughty and had the "who me?" look down. It's been 2 1/2 years and it still makes me cry sometimes. Edited February 26, 2009 by nerak254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandysMom Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I understand. When I had to send my Dalmatian to the bridge, it was like a thousand pound weight just fell on me and I couldn't move. I'm lucky that I have many good friends who let me grieve on my schedule and didn't tell me to just "get over it." God bless you for helping more dogs in Aria's memory -- that is such a great way to honor her. I love the picture of your beautiful Aria. Quote Beverly.

Guest MomoftheFuzzy Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I know how you feel, Sheila. Many hugs to you... hope I get to see you again soon (we met up at GIG, last) so we can hug in-person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheshe Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 That is another thing GIG, this will be our first year without her. She always loved to travel and she loved to meet new people. Thank you everyone. I have had 3 other pets pass, my schauzer, my shi-tzu and my beagle mix. but I have to tell you neither of them have impacted me they way that Aria's passing has. I have hung up her crown, and put up her favorite collars. sometimes I get them out just so I can smell her. I did give her coat to our new little girl because she was not to fond of it and never wore it anyway. Sheila Quote Sheila Loved by Mozart, Sherri, Xavier, McCleary, Tigger.

DonnaBehr Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sheila, I think losing the first grey is always the hardest. You were lucky that Aria came into your life and gave you so much love. I still haven't gotten over the loss of my first and she died in August, 2004. Something special. Remember the good times and cry if you have to. You have lots of love to give your current pack and the fosters that pass through your home. Quote Mom to Melly and Dani Greyhound Bridge Angels - Jessie, Brittne, Buddy, Red, Chica, Ford and Dodge.
