| I have to admit, I often ignore this section because each loss tears me up. I'm not as diligent with my sympathy notes as I should be, because I cry when I read these. But to the people who have posted, and I haven't replied, its not cuz my heart isn't with you, its sometimes because its overwhelming for me. |

| I know what you mean: I am crying constantly if I read that one of the Sheepies died! I cant help myself! I try not to read this part of the forum of fear that someone has died, and now I wasnt on for a while and there are already 3 more Sheepies which does upset me very much!
But I always have words to comfort cause I know how it is! I lost already 2 Sheepies!  |

It is difficult to come here  . As a two time poster I can say that just a simple I'm sorry means so much, that people here understand your grief and don't treat you like an idiot for mourning your lost sheepie. People from the other (non sheepie) world always say "it's just a dog"  |
| I found it really helped when we lost our Katy in July. We all know what it feels like and just an "I'm sorry" is worth its weight in gold. |
Like everyone else I ignore this section too. And for all the same reasons...it's just so sad. But I guarantee this will be the first place I come when I say good bye to one of my babies at the rainbow bridge. On the occasion that I do read the posts, I am so impressed with the out pour of genuine kindness and support. This forum attracts some very wonderful people.  (Sheepie people) |
| I too, never ever read this part of the forum, but I promised myself that I would from now on.
When BB went to the Rainbow Bridge I received so many kind and and helpful words for members of this forum. There are so many wonderful sheepie lovers on this list. It helps so much to know that there are people out there that have been there and understand. Sheepie People are the best. |
| It really is very healing to discover that you're not alone when you lose a sheepie. I had no idea that there were so many OES lovers out there who feel the same way about their sheepies as my wife and I do. I actually came to this site looking for some information about an issue that our new OES puppy Lucy has...but I found myself drawn to the Rainbow Bridge postings since we lost two sheepies last year, our old boy Riley and our girl Gracie. The loss of Gracie was particularly hard since she was way too young (eight) and she went completely unexpectedly from a cancer we didn't even know was there until two weeks before she died. We have Lucy and her new "brother" Clancy (an OES rescue) in our lives now and they have really helped us to heal, but reading some of the postings here has been tremendously comforting. Comforting not just from the kind words that are said, but also comforting to know that there are people out there who live with dogs the same way that we do. One thing I would say to people who have lost a sheepie is to consider a rescue. You already know the breed, so you will be better prepared to take on the challenges of a sheepie who has had a rough go of it. We needed our Clancy as much as he needed us! I'll post more about that story in the rescue forum at some point. So thank you all for your kindness and I send you my condolences for your losses and my hopes for new sheepies in the future. |
| i never go to this section well with 2 right now on the verge it is just to hard |
| It is a very difficult place to visit especially for those of us who are facing loss or have recently endured losing our beloved babies. But it helps to know that others understand and care. Please know that you are not alone, and that there are many, many thoughts and prayers with you |
