who has lost[ or has a sick faithful friend. We found out today that our 11 1/2 year old Rottie dog has bone cancer. My heart is breaking, because she surely is a member of the family and a quilting buddy.
Just had to vent a little. Thanks
4/12/08
Three months went by so fast and this week we just knew it was time. We had her put down yesterday morning, and I just can't believe how my heart is breaking. Trying to be strong for the family and all that, but I broke down this morning as she was not under my feet as I put dinner in the crock pot. Or when I decided I had to do something I went to my sewing table and she wasn't across from me on her couch, watching me with those lovely dark eyes. I know it will get easier, but gosh it is tough.
My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. Luke 1:46,47

So sorry Bonnie, they (our lil' animals) become our shadows - wherever we are, they are on our heels. I lost my dog nearly 6 years ago and I think of her still. The pain eased after a while and now
the memories are very sweet. I'm sure she knew she was very loved.
This is the opening paragraph from a book that someone gave me when I lost my sweet pet - a book called "Dog Heaven" by Cynthia Rylant.
"When dogs go to Heaven, they don't need wings because God knows that dogs love running best... He gives them fields. Fields and fields and fields."
Find comfort in knowing she is running.
Thinking of you.

So sorry to hear of your loss of dear doggie. I think the unconditional love our pets give us makes it ever much more difficult to say goodbye. Sorry you are feeling the sadness . . , and happy for you that you had such a great friend.

Bonnie,
I'm so sorry. I dread the day, but I know it will come. Let yourself cry and keep all the memories close. She could feel your love and gave it back to you. I'm sending you a warm hug.

Oh Bonnie, I knew it was coming but it never is easy. How sad for your family but you will soon be talking about her and all the GOOD times you all had and those are the times to remember. MB
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Bonnie,
My heart goes out to you. It is such a sad and painful time to go through. They are there all the time for us,and when they are gone they leave a big hole in our lives and heart. Just let yourself grieve and cry, you have every reason to.It takes time to heal. My thoughts are with you.
Hugs, Mary Jane

Bonnie,
((((hugs)))to you. I know it is hard and it is ok to cry for your loss. I had to think of how my Ruby is no longer suffering and that it was the best for her. I still miss her and cry. We buried her here and made her a nice little stone and now the daffodils are blooming all over her spot. There is a beautiful big azealea blooming near her too and I'm glad but I still miss her and I know you will miss your sweetie too. They are so unconditionally loving our pets and that is part of why we love them. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Bonnie, I'm so sorry you lost your buddy. It's so hard when we lose our 4-legged kids. I still miss our Pal that we lost last spring and think of him often. My heart aches for you, as I know how painful it is for you now. Bear hugs to you.

Bonnie,
How sad,I know I still miss my last pet. I didn't get another after the last one left us, didn't think I wanted to be that sad again over a pets death.But I sure do miss her. The kids are always telling me I should have another and I just can't. Really admire those that can.Pets are great company and a real part of the family. I will be sad with you.

Bonnie, it is going to be hard for a long while, believe me. Even though we now have 4 new members in our dog family, I still think of my Lily and miss her daily. I'm hoping that you get to the place where your beloved friend rests easy in your heart. Thinkin about you and your family...

I wish we could all give YOU and your family, a big hug. I lost my best friend, Kate, to cancer three years ago. It was so hard to put off the grief until after she was gone. But I'm glad I did. I wish the pain and sadness could be all parceled out and each of us could carry a little bit of it for you. I'll keep you in my heart and prayers.
