I don't know what brought me to this thread, I rarely come over here. I'm so sorry Sea and Citrus for your recent losses. I've been there to make that decision as well, and it is incredibly difficult to not be selfish. I did the right thing for my cat, Katie, 3 years ago or so. I've yet to find another cat or kitten who feels "right" to me. I hope you both know you did what was right for your fur babies. Again, I'm so sorry.

Sea and Citrus...

I am so sorry for your loss! I know you cherished those babies, and they loved you unconditionally. My heart goes out to you.

sea, citrus and sia,

sorry! just now reading about your beloved furbabies passing over rainbow bridge! i know how terribly hard this is for you! losing ms. baby and then sweetie pie just a few months apart last spring was so painful. i still look at their pics and long for them.

just know they had wonderful and loving homes and companions and will always be with you in your heart!

sea, when i read about angelina, i just broke down and cried! i loved looking at the pics you would post of her! she had such a sweet look to her little face!

I continue to appreciate your kind notes and prayers as I deal with the loss of Chloe. Thank you for thinking of me and taking the time to write.

I received this in an email today. I'm posting it in honor of Chloe and all the joy and companionship she gave me. It is all so true. I couldn't help but smile through my tears.



She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are her life, her love, her leader.
She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart.
You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion. -- Anonymous



If I didn't have dogs . . . .

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.

When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there.

I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several furry bodies would need to get comfortable.

I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree -- dog bones, stuffed animals ,toys, treats - nor would I have to explain to people why I wrap them.

I would have money ....and no guilt to go on a real vacation.

I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grandkids thru college.

The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE.

My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.

My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere.

My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash.

I would no longer have to Spell the words B-I-R-D, B-A-L-L, B-U-M-P-E-R-S, W-A-L-K, or T-R-E-A-T.

I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog ties them down too much.

I'd look forward to spring and the melting of snow instead of dreading mud season.

I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many dogs?" from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get.

How empty my life would be.

How true... when my last Labrador was gone :-( my house was so quiet, even though Kizzy had been pretty slow for awhile at that point. But I wasn't willing to bring in a new pup or even adult at that point so luckily I also adore cats and Critter came to live with me. Since then I've moved and have even less outside private space. (though much more safe and wonderful green area around me) So, for me, cats work better, but dogs are quite wonderful as well.

I still look at the first landing on the stairs and think of how often Angelina would be sitting there. Today I happily found a white whisker, a little sign of Angelina.

Daisy the Goat and her Baby

I'm so upset over this news which I learned last night. Daisy had lived near my office until just two weeks ago and she would wander over to see me everyday. She was so smart and friendly, I'd always pet her and bring her treats. She ought to have been given a break from having babies - it makes me so sad. She died on Wednesday and was supposedly 9 years old.

(((Calamity))), that is sad. You were so nice to give her love and treats.

(((Sea))), I'm so so sorry about Angelina. I realized from the other thread what must have happened. (I have a hard time in this thread and have not been here in a long time.) Angelina was practically the twin of my Cashmere, now they're both together. You rescued her and gave her such comfort and love.

(((Citrus))) I'm so sorry about Chloe. Your post above is very touching. Thanks for posting it.

(((Huk and Sia))) time gives comfort and reduces the sting, but the empty feeling never leaves completely. Sia your drawing is beautiful. Huk, I remember you writing about Katie I think. She was very young when she made her trip over the Rainbow Bridge, wasn't she?

(((Lance))) you were very courageous to take in such a dog. You made up for the sadness she had before she had you.

Peace and comfort to all who have opened their hearts to our wonderful pets.

Thank you all for the kind words. Daisy was a sweetheart - we always said she was more like a dog than a goat because she'd wait outside the door for us and follow us around. I'm so mad that her people didn't keep Charlie away from her for a while and also that they didn't call the vet sooner.

Biscotti lost her kitty, Thelma, last week, after having just lost her other kitty, Louise, a few months ago. I think Bisc can use some hugs.

Since Bisc doesn't have a folder, I posted a tribute to Thelma in my folder a few days ago.

Bisc, my thoughts are with you during this too sad time. It is just the hardest thing to say goodbye to our precious fur babies. God bless you!
