I know its early, but geeze, puppies have such healing power.

Chin up. You didn't do anything wrong. Fate has a way of punishing us sometimes.

Chin up. RIP Emerson. Play hard with your new buddies.

I'm so sorry you lost your friend. I hope that carless painter will not do that again in the future. (I too lost a dog that way.) Welcome to the boards!! Come here and talk about Emerson, anytime.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Emerson. I'm sure he meant the world to you. Having lost my precious Mandy just a few months ago at 5 years old I know it is so hard to lose a pup so young. Only time will help to ease the pain, a little at a time. Your heart may ache for him forever,but your memories of him will help to comfort you.
I hope you continue to visit with us at Pet Talk, there are so many wonderful people here, just like your neighbor.

Well, I actually had a decent weekend. Woke up on Saturday morning with a plan, I wanted to not only have ceremony to give Emerson to God, bless his ashes and also help with beginning to accept he is gone. There are three places I want to scatter his ashes; backyard, Red Bird Hollow favorite place to walk (dog's run free, woods, paths, hills, stream; similuar place on earth as rainbow bridge), and a church camp where we spent time since he was a puppy. I am going to hold the ceremony at the last, as I has already scheduled a camping trip for several of my friends and Emerson was typically our mascot. I have picked the bible verses, songs, prayers and poem..

For those who can not attend this ceremony, I am going to have a celebration of his life picnic. People can bring their dogs, come to say hi or stay for the day. I am hoping to have it on a Sunday afternoon in October, which would be my four year anniversary of getting him. And I am going to make a scrapbook with memories, pictures, poems, sympathy cards, famous quotes, emails recieved to express sympathy and in the back will be room for others to write their favorite memory of Emerson.

Finally I have some good news, I cannot imagine my life without a dog in it! I have made arrangements to adopt a puppy at the beginning of September. His name is going to be Whitman and he is a Wheaton Terrier, Chow, Retriever mix. I am excited to have a new puppy to get to know, and tell him stories of his big brother.

Oh how it hurts, I know. I just lost my heart dog, my precious dog of 12 years. He, also, left before his time due to a terrible, rare illness that we tried to treat, but treatement prooved ineffective.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I am in tears, because my loss is still so fresh and to hear about loss brings back all kinds of painful memories. Your dog was absolutly gorgeous. He really looked like an angel. What an absolutely precious, adoring, gentle face he had.

On the happy note, what an absolutely precious bundle of fluff you are welcoming into your heart! I just LOVE him to pieces! There is absolutely nothing better to mend a broken heart then the welcoming of a new furangel into your home and heart.

(((((((((hugs to you and your new bundle of fluff)))))))))))

I am so sorry you lost your beautiful friend!! Emerson was beautiful! Adopting another dog who needs you is the best way to honor his memory. Don't forget that you will see him again one day!! Until then he will watch over you and your new puppy!! Emerson is playing @ the RB now, chasing cats & running free!! RIP Emerson
