Wow, so many losses in such a short period of time. I'm so sorry. Do you have plans for getting a new pet.

Sandpiper the fact that your dogs lived so long shows how well they were taken care of, and happy they must have been. When the time is right maybe you'll give another lucky dog a good home, filled with love.

Thanks for your kind words Dotsie and Chatty. I don't think we are ready yet for more pets. I imagine sometime we will, though. The house seems very quiet and empty without them.

We miss all of them. I am trying to put together a scrapbook album of my pet thinking that will make it easier.

Oh my gosh Sandpiper that had to have been so hard. You have all of my thoughts and condolences as I have been in your shoes. It is such a hard thing to endure.

We have 2 sweet little ones and can not imagine the day when we have to make that decision.

I did have to make the decision for one of my precious pets. It was extremely difficult. But I know that he is in a better place.

The other pet I did not get to be there for, but I also know that she is in a better place.

The better place is that they do not have to suffer any more and do not have pain any more.

They were/are part of my family and always will be. We always remember their place in our memories and they will always be part of us.

My two ladies, Reeta and Rosee are going to be 12 years old on February the ninth and that makes me nervous. I can see them aging and know it will be up to me again to do the right thing when the time comes. I will just hold them and hug and love and spoil them all I can until their time comes. Yorkies can live pretty long lives but one never knows for sure. I will look on the bright side until then however and thank the Lord they came into my life when they did...

I'm so sorry about your beloved Rembrandt. I can so relate because we had to put our dear Molly to sleep a couple of months ago. We had adopted her from the Miami Animal Shelter many years ago.

A kind person on another site send the Rainbow Bridge story that I see has been posted here.

I hope it gives you comfort. It did for me, but I still cry over Molly and miss her terribly.

Please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss.

Welcome Mary to a place filled with loving and caring women. I am so sorry for your loss and don't think we ever stop hurting for our departed pets...
They are like well behaved children that adore us always.

My grandson just lost his two wonderful pets, Angel, a 4 year old Chihuahua and Papa, a 7 year old Stafforshire, in a house fire. Did you get another pet in 'honor' of Molly, because we can never replace the ones who've gone.

Mary Cunningham,
Welcome. Sorry for your loss. I agree with Chatty. We can never
replace the ones who've gone beyond. I have dogs that have been
put to rest twenty years ago, I still think about. In fact, I
think often of every dog I owned since I was a kid. It's never
easy to lose a beloved animal. Prayers...

Welcome Mary. I can empathize with you as well. Although I have a new "friend," I still call her Trixie, the name of my beloved boxer. I had to stop myself and remind myself gently, this isn't Trixie...and give Dolly, my new boxer, her due.

While it never leaves you, time does help to soften the loss. Welcome to the site. I hope you'll stay and post often!

When we go to Florida in March every year, we camp in Savannah,
Georgia. There are a couple favorite campgrounds we frequent
in that area. Georgia is a pretty state. Welcome aboard, Mary
Cummingham. We had friends in this area with that last name.
Nice folks. Prayers and blessings,
