Sad day, why is it so hard...

[bamadominaker]

i am such a crybaby. this happened to me about 3yrs ago. This made me feel like it was yesterday. I will tell you what my then 9 yr old said to me "Mommie if you don't think about it you want cry." At the time it was so hard not to... I cried for days. I hope everything goes well for you, telling your family. And Abby is on that rainbow bridge waggin her tail at you.

Tanya - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your story made me cry. I believe God cares for all of his creatures and believe that he put Abby in your life when you needed her most and he put you in Abby's life when she needed you most. Now, perhaps you are stronger and in a different place in life and someone else needs her more.

My heart goes out to you and your family. My dogs are my best listeners and friends. I hope your Abby is taking a nap in the sunshine in heaven. I do believe animals have a soul and her body and spirit are young and playful again.

Tanya I am so sorry for your loss, I had to do the same thing twice! both were several years apart but I do know exactly what you are going thru. and when my last pet had to be put down I had said I was going to wait one year before getting another, yea right! it lasted 2 weeks!! it was just way to quite! It's funny how you miss the little sounds they make.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. All that have the special love of an animal will to have to face this heart wrenching day. Rest in the assurance that you took in a baby that needed you and you her and that you will someday meet her again on the Rainbow Bridge.

I truly believe that when animals "show up" at the most critical times in our lives that it isn't just "chance". They can be such healers to our soul. I know what you are going through and my heart goes out to you.
I think animals are sometimes easier to get along with than humans.

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. I truly believe that your dog was an angel sent to take care of you. The purest love we can find on earth comes for our animals.

I have been keeping busy this afternoon. Paying bills, cleaning floors making dinner, you know the drill. I thought maybe it would make me feel better. Nope! Not until I read the words you kind people had to say. I have to admit that it did start the water works again, but in a good way.

I am so over whelmed by the heartfelt compassion you have sent my way. I have always believed that Abby was sent to us for comfort when Mom and Dad died. In fact my son was only 6 then. When he saw Abbys eyes he said she had Gramma eyes! I am sure part of it was because they were the same color but there was always love in her eyes too. Today her eyes told me she was tired. I am positive that God knew we needed her and I am grateful for every moment we had. Things are alot different now then they were when she came into our lives. I have married the man of my dreams and through him became part of a very loving family. My son has new Grandparents that love him very much along with new cousins and Aunts and Uncles to love him. My MIL has helped to fill the void in my heart. So maybe you are right Ruth, she did what she came to do and now she is needed some where else. I will miss her every day. Thank you for sharing your stories with me. You have all been a great help to me today. Your are all in my thoughts.
