Saying Goodbye

**elizabethann** · 11-22-2006, 09:49 AM

My deepest sympathy on your loss. You & your husband sound like loving parents. You will see Ginger again...in another time...and another place.

RIP sweet Ginger. All of your pain is gone. Run free at the Rainbow Bridge cutie pie.

Take care.

I've had to make that decision before, too, and there is just no way around it, it sucks. But you did it for her sake, and Ginger is running happy & healthy at the RB now, no more pain. Please post more pictures and tell us your stories about your beautiful girl, sometimes that helps.

today was the first day I came home and you were not here waiting at the door, all excited to see me with hugs and kisses. i started crying before i ever got out of the car, this pain is unbearable, i miss my sweet loving girl. the house is way to quiet without you, im so lost without you and mousse here to take care of every day and to love. i know in time this will pass but right now it is just the worst feeling in the world. i know you are happier now at least your not sick your able to play and run and enjoy life, i just wish you were still here with me able to do all of that.
mommy loves you baby girl.

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....

I have no right to ask, but I will anyway, please pray for us that we are strong enough to do the right thing for her and not make it about us!!!

You have every right to ask! You loved your baby as much as we love ours which is why you did the kindest, bravest thing you could do

Ginger,
I know mommy does not write in this very often, its not because I dont think of you, I do that daily and several times through out the day and night. It is just hard because it brings the pain back of loosing you again. Daddy and I still have your food bowl where you left it, your bed in our room next to my side of the bed, we still even have your meds you were taking in the same place where we last gave them to you. I can't stand the thought of moving them, that is one step closer i have to get to knowing you are never coming back to us. I miss you more than words can say, i look for you every time i go home and in every aspect of our lives i miss you terribly. Daddy misses you too, he is so sad. We are not even putting a christmas tree up this year because we can't seem to get in the spirit of christmas without you and mousse. I know in my heart we did the right thing for you but at the same time I wish I could have kept you with me longer. I love you my baby girl more than you will ever know.
love mommy

Many hugs to you and your husband during this hard time.

I've had both of you on my mind~ And I have to tell you that Ginger was a very Beautiful dog too!! I could see that she was so loved.

We too Lost a Beloved pet , just before Christmas last year~ It left a hole in our hearts, yet, finding" Pet Talk" has helped me heal (little by little),

May Sweet Memories of Ginger and Mousse Comfort You This Christmas~

Prayers for all of you. It is a hard decision, but one that we understand.

**kallisto4529** · 01-01-2007, 02:42 AM

Well my little pumpkin it has been a hard christmas and new year without you, and without mousse too. Mommy misses you both so much, the holiday's have not been the same without you. I am sitting here at work thinking about you, wishing you were going to be home sitting or laying there waiting on me, we can go for our morning walk, and wait for daddy to get home, you would get all excited and jump around in circle's, then after we had breakfast we would go take a nap for mommy and daddy having to go to work that night, you would get on your bed and sleep right next to my side or you would sleep up on the bed with me and snuggle real close. Beijing seems to be enjoying having the house to herself now, but mommy's heart is still aching and i hate coming home and not finding one of you there. I wish you and mousse a very happy new year at the rainbow ridge, mommy loves you with all her heart.

My sweet Ginger mommy misses you so much, I got daddy's last and very best christmas gift today, he has not seen it yet, it's a mouse pad for the computer and it has the very last picture on it we took of you!!!!!!! It is just beautiful, it is not the same as having you here with us, but I think it will give us some comfort and its a special memorial to you from us. Grammy and I are getting New Year's dinner ready, we just put the ham in the oven and I can't help but think and remember the way you and Mousse use to always stay in the kitchen with mommy and "help" her cook, or you would help clean up the floor from my "oops spills", lol. My heart if very full right now with the memories of the two of you and the 15yrs combined that I was so wonderfully blessed to have you in my life, from the time you were just tiny babies to the last days you were here, God blessed us with the most precious and inspiring love anyone could have. I try to concentrate on the good times and the good memories of you both and know that one day we will all be together again. I love you both. Mommy.

I don't mean to intrude on your words to Ginger, but I am so sorry. I understand what you are going through. Our DJ (who looks a lot like your Mousse and Ginger) has been gone since March of 2005 and we always think of him and the silly things he use to do to make us laugh.
In the RB dog video they have the three blond cockers all in a row. Mousse, Ginger and then DJ.

When I first showed my boyfriend the video he almost thought Mousse was DJ but he didn't recognize the surroundings.

Happy New Year to you and your family.

**kallisto4529** · 01-07-2007, 03:59 AM

hello my sweet babies, another day, hour, minute has gone by and you are not with me any longer. Daddy loved the mouse pad we got for him Ginger, he cried when he opened it. I knew that he would, he loved you still loves you so much. grammy and i were talking to the neighbor yesterday about you and mousse, oh mousse its been two years and some days its just like it was yesterday for me, sometimes i sit and remember each moment i was blessed to have you, i remember how when you were just a baby, you would cry if i did not take you everywhere with me, we are not just talking about small crying and then letting it go, no you had to sit at the door to wherever i had exited and cry yourself sick, except for when i went to work, i had to take you everywhere with me. I did not mind though, I loved having you with me, we were so close, I still feel you here with mommy from time to time. Ginger mommy found one of your jackets yesterday, I sat and held it and smelled you on it and i just cried. Chance the neighbors beagle still comes over and looks for you, he came in the house today trying to see where you were, it breaks my heart, he does not understand you are not here anymore.
I love and miss you both dearly, one day I know the pain will not be so great, right now it just comes in waves.

**trayi52** · 01-07-2007, 07:49 AM

I'm so sorry about Ginger. You will be in my prayers.

Willie

**chocolatepuppy** · 01-07-2007, 08:03 AM

I can't stand the thought of moving them, that is one step closer i have to get to knowing you are never coming back to us.

I'm so sorry for your loss of both Mousse and Ginger. While they may not be coming back to you here on this earth, they are still here with you in spirit. All the wonderful memories, no one can take away. Someday you will be reunited. And then you will see two happy,healthy pups who have been waiting patiently for you for many years.
In time the pain will lessen, but memories will always be there. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as the new year proceeds and hopefully each day will bring you just a little bit closer to finding peace in your heart. {hugs}
