My Black Labby, Emerson

[anna_66]

Oh Anna, so many of us here can relate with all the hardships your going through now and I'm sure that our hearts are breaking right along with yours.

Even thought your not around much any more I'm so glad that you come here to share your feelings and ramblings with us. When Angus died I just felt I couldn't talk about him but now I wish I had, it might have made me feel better and I hope it's made you feel a little more at ease, at least for a little bit.

I'm glad to hear the vet is doing an autopsy and will try and get to the bottom of what the problem was.

Lots of (((HUGS)))
Anna

I have been thinking of you all since yesterday morning. I wish there was something could say to make it stop hurting. Your post had me in tears again, and I know how much your hert hurts. Reading about Malone made me feel so sad. I know he misses his buddy too. I hope in the pictures and the memories you can find some happiness at some of the good times. Maybe not right now, but someday. Thinking of you gusy today and hoping you find a little comfort in knowing he's still there watching over you. He'll be waiting for you.

I have had you on my mind, Anna, nonstop, since I read your original post yesterday. My heart is just heavy and I don't know what to say to you that will make you feel better. If I had the right words, I'd be saying them to myself, over and over, and to all the others who have suffered such great loss in their lives.

You know, we are your real world. We're real. We hurt and agonize with you as if it were our own family member that departed. This is a wonderful place, with wonderful, real friends, who share one precious gift in common, our love for our animals.

I realized, this morning, that tomorrow is the first anniversary of losing Zipper. Like Emerson, he was with us for too short of a time. I'm not sure there is ever long enough, to tell you the truth, but it is a different kind of grief when you let them go after they have lived full, healthy lives. That has at least been my experience. No less painful, just a bit easier to swallow. You didn't get that with Emerson and we didn't get that with Zipper or Lilly.


I'm not a good one to talk with, probably, unless you need to have a good crying session. That, I can do, very easily.

Please know that I am thinking of you and Mark and your precious babies and you will be in my prayers.

Anna, I read this last night but could not bring myself to reply I still am at a loss for words but I wanted to let you know that you, Mark and Malone are in my thoughts. (((((hugs)))))) Thanks for posting the link to the thread of Em's introduction to PT, I wasn't here at the time and that whole thread brought a smile to my face.

Rest Easy Mr. Emerson, you will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry for you and your entire family, Anna. Malone will heal, but it'll take time. When I lost my childhood dog that Graham knew for many years, it was a very hard mourning period, but eventually Graham healed. I even thought he enjoyed becoming an only dog before I decided to adopt Kersey. He was happy as an only dog after the mourning period passed.

I know it's harder with a little baby, but I did a lot of stuff for Graham that helped after his companion of many years died. I took him to the dog park frequentlly, to the lake to swim and chase the ducks, and on car rides. All these things he enjoyed and it kind of took the edge off of the grief for the both of us. When my heart-dog Graham died, I had Boone to heal Kersey's broken heart, so it wasn't the same situation as going from 2 to 1 dogs.

I wish there was something I could do or say to help you threw this. It's an absolutely horrible thing to go threw. Unfortunately, there's nothing that helps excpet time, time and happy memories. You, Mark and Malone are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so very sorry

I just read each and every post on this topic.

I am so sorry for your family's loss.

Emerson had a great, fulfilled time while he was this earth while he was with you and your family. You did everything you could.

RIP EMERSON

Anna, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I pray that your pain hastily gives way to gentle, comforting memories that bring smiles and tears of joy for a beautiful -albeit too short- life.

What a happy dog Emm was and I'm sure he's now happy to take to his place as guardian angel over your family.

{{hugs to you & Malone}}
