Dear Breezy'sMom....I read your post very, very early this morning right before leaving for work, and couldn't believe that in 12 short hours, two of our "family" had suddenly lost their babies. I was so stunned and heartbroken, I was speechless. Just last night, I was researching seizures in dogs, and was planning on posting some info. for you today. It is still on my clipboard. I wanted to respond to your loss immediately, but did not want to just rush off a brief note. But my motive was also selfish, for at that moment, I did not want to face or deal with the sadness I was feeling. I had to step away for a while. All day, I could not get you and Breezy, or Candy and Kathi and Bob and Jazz out of mind. I too, lost the dog of my lifetime only 3 short years ago, and like you, sometimes I think I hear her distinctive, thunderous rush down the stairs, or her tags "jingling," (her name was Jingles) or her "let me in Mom" yelps. And as much as I appreciated all the words of condolance from well meaning friends and family, I knew that it was I alone who was left to deal with my loss; a loss that is so personal, and a pain that is so deep, that sometimes it feels that there is nothing anyone can say, as hard as they try, to soothe your soul and comfort you. Your wonderful 10 years together with Breezy, though cherished and love filled indeed, were not long enough, were they? My 12 years with Jingles wasn't. No, it is NEVER long enough. But sometimes, it is "time." Bless you Breezy'sMom for being the lovingest of guardains, the best friend possible to your most beloved Breezy. She struggled valiantly, and you responded with incredible bravery. You were there at that one, last moment in her life when she needed you most. And in return, she patiently and lovingly awaits your joyful reunion at the Rainbow Bridge. I hope that knowing that so, so many of us here have experienced the great loss you are feeling, gives you some sense of comfort and strength. As has been said before, God must have needed a very special doggie to grace his Heaven. We celebrate your life, Beautiful Breezy. All my love and sympathys to you and your family. Love, Sandra
