Companion Animal Memorial Thread

Thank you, I think I am still going to add some mulch and once we get some decent furniture and privacy fencing up I will take a pic of her gazebo. We did a trial of taking her toy and collar out there today, my husband wasn't really comfortable with it but i feel like it's her stuff let her have it at least when we go out there to visit her.

It really is very, very nice!
 
Hobbes crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday.

To all who have written kind words to me over the last couple of weeks, thank you, it has been helpful and meant a lot to me.

I feel incredibly sad, it has left a huge gap in my life, and the house seems very quiet. Gypsy is not coping very well, she is sad too. I am glad I have had some quality time with him over the last few weeks.

The neighbours have been amazing and helpful. I am so grateful to them. And grateful to my parents too.
 
Lots of hugs, Freesia.

Thank you so much (((((Aspire)))))) that really is beautiful. It actually looks a lot like him as well, he has a white face.

I saw a picture of him when I was falling asleep this morning. He was big and plump, like he was years ago before he became ill and started losing weight. I dont know whether that is a sign. They say that when you cross over, you get back the equivalent of your body when you are about 30 (in human years).. that is how he looked.
 
My sister's Dachshund, Dixie, had to be put to sleep today. She had multiple tumors and was failing fast. She was 9 years old. My sister has to tell her 3 sons, one away at college, one active duty marine in Europe, and one marine with a family of his own. Dixie was the heart of her family, and the sweetest little dog with the courage and heart of a lion. :(

Thanks so much you guys. It made me feel better to post here, so few people understand how heart wrenching it is to lose a loved animal. My sister's coworkers were surprised she was taking the day off. :rolleyes:

I have an old lady dachshund who was poisoned by a toad awhile back and has rallied back really well. So it just freaked us all out that poor Dixie was the one we lost, when we've been nursing Pepper back to health. I wish dogs lived twice as long as they do.
