Yes, I will be sticking around, as I have found this board and its members very kind and very therapeutic, I also am happy to find a group of people who have a common love of animals.

A friend of mine made Sheda a memorial candle for me to light at her grave when I visit, she gave it to us today, it made me happy and sad all at the same time.

You people have really helped me alot, I'm just a little sad right now, so its hard to draw on the happier times without falling back to the sadness.

I have alot of stories about Sheda and my other girls I would be happy to share, soon.

I do miss my girl.

I'm glad you have decided to stick around. This board is a wonderful thing. You can share your frustrations, worries, delights and dilemmas, gain massive amounts of education and experience no ridicule for the devotion you give your pets.

You are bound to miss Sheda and you will do so for a long time to come. The pain will get easier, but it will never go away; simply because you loved and cherished her.

I lost Peps nearly two years ago and I still miss him, still shed a tear about him and still wonder whether some of the choices that I made about his health were the right things to do.

No matter how many other pets you get, they will never ever replace Sheda, just like my Amber can not replace Peps.

Peps is buried in my mother in laws garden and ironically Amber lays on the eact spot whenever we visit.

My thoughts are with you.
