reading along as each new post comes in, here. i have so wanted to post similar blog for the last few months, viki. wasn't sure about the appropriateness. now reading of everyone's little furry lost loves, and eyes tearing w each new post. gonna tell ya about my best friends, who were best friends...my wolfdog (to tumors) & her cat(to tumors also, i think). melanie...my two passed w/in a week of each other. i kept them here with me and thier fellow furry housemates. they both detested the vet office..nice vet..these two were just not into strange humans and it was always quite stressfull at annual exam/immunization time each yr. so, didn't want to stress them w thier last days. we all snuggled right up to the end.

so, i guess, it was with a sweet kind of happy sad to read along w you all as you wrote about your little loves & your mourning thier loss..even after span of year or more. i now don't feel so ....dunno...anyway, good to know that the extreme pain i feel each time i think of something they did w me..which was everything, they followed me around as i worked outside, sat w me while i sewed or knitted...whatever. they were my constant companions that kitty and her wolf..

Awwww so sorry. I love my dogs too, and miss the ones that are no longer with us even though they were sometimes a pain in the butt.  You kind of get used to having them underfoot.

Hate seeing those family members go we lost our Corky on March 13 of this year 14 years old. My mealtime helper now I have twice as much garbage but everyday there is some kind of memory that me and my husband can recall and it fills our emptyness. May you find peace in your sorrow and remember how she loved you unconditionally, as did you. Happy memories

They really are part of the family after awhile. I'm sorry about your Boo. The vet found a mass in Echo's stomach, but at her age it would have just been putting her through a bunch of suffering for probably not much longer. I look forward to being able to talk about her without it being upsetting.. Thank you.

Sorry for your loss, Viki. Our pets become members of our family and it is so very difficult to let go. We had a Wire Hair Fox Terrier (named Boo) and when it came time to call the vet(he had cancerous tumors in his nose), neither of us wanted to do it. Finally, my husband just put him in the car and off they went. We couldn't talk about him for a good year.  It does get easier and now we can laugh and talk about what a great dog he was.

Debra, I think your husband and I are in the same boat at the moment. Echo was a rescue as well.. although a bit more literally. A co-worker of my husband found her and two of her siblings in a trash bag on the side of the road, sadly one of the puppies had already been hit by a car. So, Jack brought me Echo...just what I needed with a pit puppy and 4 rotty's already,lol... but it was clear she was mine from the go. I haven't spent a single moment in the house or around the yard without her since the day she came home. She even went on two cross country road trips with me. It's extremely odd around here without her.

Melanie.. yes there is.

Oh Vicki, I am so sorry for you. I also am grieving. We had to put Ranger down on June 1 and altho he was The Hubbs best friend at the end, he was mine in the beginning. I rescued him from the pound when he was 9 weeks old and he went everywhere with me for the first 3 months he had us!! All of a sudden he decided he wanted to be The Hubs's best friend and defected!!! He's been The Hubs's fishing, camping, traveling buddy for the last 13 years. My husband is just devastated and I grieve in private so as not to make him any more upset!

Viki, was just checking out blogs and found you here.  So sorry to hear about your buddy.  My collie mix and her pain in the neck Tigger cat have been gone for quite a while, but I still miss them.  It's hard to lose family - there's love in those eyes.

thanks ladies.. sue, my condolences, I don't think I could have handled it if I'd lost them at the same time

Oh man...I hate to hear that. I know how much pets can mean to a person so I hope you find peace soon. She looks like she was a good friend..what a sweet face!
