  1. Aww =/ im sorry for your loss an wish there was something i could say to help you feel better but i know theres prolly not jack beans of anything that anyone can say thatd help.

    i was feeling guilty after Kirbys last vet visit but then my dad picked me up an dusted me off when i told him i felt guilty for having him put to sleep. my dad said: "dont. you have no reason to. you gave him a long and happy life and you ensured he stayed happy. thats all that should matter"

    i wish you lots of luck an sending you lots of virtual hugs.

    This was my Tasha girl in her younger years. My girl who hated water; wouldn’t so much step in and get her feet wet. But I waded out to throw balls for Tommy, and there was no way she was going to leave me out in that dangerous water on my own.

    So out she followed me. I never called her or coaxed her, she just came. Oh, she tried to keep one foot raised up above that nasty wet stuff, but she just kept following me and following me, no matter how far out I waded. Finally I felt so bad for her that I turned back and went back to land. She joyously followed me back to the beach.

    That was my girl. That was her dedication and loyalty to me.

    Tasha, you were my good girl. How many weeks and months does it take for the pain of a bond like that to heal? I hope I did everything right by you when you became old, sore and disabled. I hope I gave you the merciful and sweet passing you deserved. Because nothing could ever repay all you gave to me — your whole self.

    This thread still has me in tears. I believe with all my heart that you did everything right by Tasha and more, because I have been privileged to witness your loving care for her through your posts and facebook updates. I believe I'll have the honor of meeting her across the Rainbow Bridge, One Fine Day. Please give Raven and Rudy some big hugs for me. ((((HUGS))))

    I brought Tasha's ashes home today. I've been crying most the day. I feel so gutted, and I don't know how to get through this. She was my go-to girl for every loss I dealt with, and I can't seem to deal with losing her. I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes, the missing of her is so intense I feel physically ill much of the time. I can barely eat, I just want to sleep, sleep and sleep. Every day seems to last a year. It seems unreal that there can be a life here without my Tasha by my side.

    She will always be there of you, Jess, but we know it is hard to say good-bye to her physical presence. I am glad her ashes are home with you again, though. A reminder and a touchstone for you. How are the other dogs reacting?

    Dearest Jess,
    It is hard. It takes time, and yes, it can take a long time, but don't think that it will go on forever. You will ALWAYS remember her, and look for her, but think of how grateful she is now she is no longer in pain. Think of what a great life she had with you. Think of all the fun times you had.
    Most of all, take care of yourself. It is HARD, IT IS! Please try eat a little, take care of your fur-kids, as they will miss her too.

    Take care of YOU
    Cry Shout Rant, but Love, Love, Love, and remember the good times.

    Love
    Michelle
    M!
