In Memory of Pets

Sarah,
I truly am so sorry for your loss. I had a pit bull for many years, they are truly wonderful. I too have lost 2 of my best friends to cancer. Both were labs and were truly loved. All I can say is time will heal the loss you feel. Although it will never go away and shouldn't. God gave you Scrappy for a reason. You gave him a wonderful home.
Remember all the good times with him. Try not to dwell on the loss of him. He's in a better place and no longer suffers.
God Bless you and help heal your heart.
Doug

They say there is a special place for the rescuers..
and special lessons that the rescued teach us

give yourself time to mourn, in your own way, in your own time. And get mad as hell, b/c sometimes it just doesn't make sense. I know it's hard to believe but it will get better in time - I'm not sure how, but it does.

Last July, I thought that I would never be the same after losing my companion of fourteen years -the famous Nori, the wrong dog, heart of my heart, truly my best friend;

Now it's like she's with me, only subtler, you know?

Love and light to you as you travel this hard road. I'm going to look at Scrappy now
peace, zookeeper

Hi Sarah,

Your story really touched me. I found your tribute to Scrappy, he was a gorgeous dog.
I would like to do one for my Nipper, but I just cannot find the words at the moment. Im sure they will come.

You should ignore anybody who says you are mad. Only people who have loved a pet who they thought of as their whole world can understand how it feels to lose them. Its like losing a little part of yourself.
My house doesnt feel like home anymore since Nipper left us, I expect yours is the same?
I am clinging to the hope that when we get his ashes back,it will somehow get easier to bare, because he is back with us. I really hope you feel better soon and learn to carry on without him around.

You did the best thing by putting him to sleep, he was very ill and you can be safe in the thought that he isnt in pain anymore. He left the world with all of your love in his heart.

I feel as though giving some words of support for you and others, might help me get through my pain aswell.

I hope I helped you at least a little bit.

vin.
