buddibear Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 My neighbor complained that my house was unusually dark this Christmas. When she dropped off a swap gift, she was agast...NO TREE! I told her after 67 years of having the biggest tree on the lot, it didn't matter anymore. My heart pup left the planet due to Osteo in the shoulder. I wanted to get him to his 13 birthday in October, but the vet agreed labor Day weekend should be a marker to live for. There are no medals in heaven for prolonging agony. I know he is ok when the new foster went to the basket and pulled out the favorite bear. The stock guy at the store was shelving good ole Gravy Train. This was the only thing he would eat in the last days. I pushed my cart to the side and had a good cry in the car. Vent over . I may put up a tree for New Years!

queenwinniesmom Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I'm so sorry that your heart is still hurting, and that you're still missing your precious boy. Sometimes, even when we think we're getting to be okay, that sadness sneaks up on us and washes over us like a waterfall. And the holidays are especially hard. Sending hugs.

Yeah,,I get the pain too. 3 weeks today for me. Wednesdays seem to be the worst and why I do not know. It hits me so hard on Wed. I so wanted to get her to Christmas, I told her that was want I wanted for Christmas (this was after I told her all I wanted was her to make my birthday in NOV). I think we suffer more internally and it's hard to put on that brave face,,the,Hey, "how you doing", "Oh I am doing fine" face. I get it.

heartdogs Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I too understand. Noelle's passing was such a surprise, even tho it shouldn't have been I guess. My boys are having a hard time too which makes it harder for me. I too am sending hugs & prayers your way. May 2017 be a better year.

winnie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 We canceled Christmas last year. We lost two of our pack in 2015 - Bonny in May and Darcy in December. Plus, my horse and I flipped over a jump and I broke my arm right before Thanksgiving. I had ZERO Christmas spirit and couldn't bring myself to fake it. I hope that 2017 is better for you.
