| I am so sorry for your loss of Pooh Bear. I know exactly what you are going through. I had the same experience with my Sammy. Do take comfort in that you did everything possible to prolong his life and at the end, you selflessly helped ease his crossing to the Rainbow Bridge. No more pain and suffering for Pooh Bear. Know that he will live forever in your heart. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family during this very sad time.  |
| So sorry for your loss. It's never easy to say goodbye. Cindy |
| What a sad time for you and your family. My sympathies on your loss and I am sure that Pooh Bear will be in your heart always. |
| So very sorry for your loss. Lisa Frankie and Mattie |
| I am so sorry... |
| I'm so sorry......they really get into your heart and tear it open when they leave. |
| We are so sorry |
| I'm so sorry for your loss. We're here if you need to chat. |
| I'm sorry for your loss of Pooh Bear. |
| I'm so sorry for your loss of your precious Pooh Bear. They take a little bit of us with them when they go, but what they gave us while they were here just cannot be measured. I hope your heart stops hurting soon, and will be replaced by all Pooh's memories. |
| I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Pooh-Bear. The grief is so enormous for one that was deeply loved and their absence is so noticeable. Time does heal but their memory lives on as they do forever in our hearts. I copied one of my favorite poems (Unknown author) that I've had to read and reread several times. The final act of love. I thought I'd share it with you and perhaps it will bring you comfort as it did with me. Hugs to you Marianne -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Last Battle If it should be that I grow frail and weak, And pain should keep me from my sleep, Then will you do what must be done, For this, the last battle, can't be won. You will be sad I understand, But don't let grief then stay your hand, For on this day, more than the rest, Your love and friendship must stand the test. We have had so many happy years, You wouldn't want me to suffer so. When the time comes, please, let me go. Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, Only, stay with me till the end And hold me firm and speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see. I know in time you will agree, It is a kindness you do to me. Although my tail its last has waved, From pain and suffering I have been saved. Don't grieve that it must be you, Who has to decide this thing to do; We've been so close,we two, these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears. |
| We are so sorry for your loss. |
| I am so sorry God Speed Pooh Bear |
| So sorry to hear about Pooh Bear. |
| I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet PoohBear. Tears, |
| Sorry for your lost |
| Jen & I are so sorry for you, the family and of course Pooh. We found out again recently how hard a time like this is. Keep reminders of him around - you wouldn't want toever forget him, especially the joy and laughs he brought into your home. Vance & Jen |
| Thank you to everyone for your comments. It really does help. I keep replaying things in my head if we should have gone in 1 day earlier, etc......I'm just amazed at how sad I am. One of the things I wanted ever since I was little was an Old English Sheepdog. My son and his wife suprised me with Pooh Bear 12 years ago. (my husband knew) I feel a double loss, one of the things I always wanted is gone and my precious Pooh Bear is gone, too. I made the 40 mile trip to the vet this morning with my husband driving and me laying next to Pooh in the back of the van. He would look up to me every once in a while. He was such a sweet dog(but stubborn at times!) It is just so strange without him around. Day 1 without him almost done..... |
| I'm so sorry for the huge hole in your heart now. They are so very easy to love and so so very hard to let go; |
| So sorry for your loss. |
| What is amazing is how even years from now you will still miss them. The pain will lessen & the fun memories will take over. It's been almost 4 years since Melody's been gone. Melody was dominant & the type of girl that had to let you know what was going on in the world all the time. I remember saying to my Mom, "I don't think I'm going to miss this one when she goes. It will be a lot quieter around here". My Mom replied "I think you are going to be surprised how much you are going to miss this one in particular". Boy did she hit the nail on the head! I have lost count of how many times I've said "Where's Melody when I need her? She'd teach this new dog how to behave!" when one of the dogs I placed in a show home would come for grooming or training. Or the number of times I've said to my others in training "What's the problem here? Melody had this down pat in 3 tries!". I can still see the anticipation written over her face when she had to wait on the recall, sit for 1 minute & on the long down for 3 minutes. And I remember seeing her head move from side to side to make sure she counted the other dogs in the ring with her to make sure they were all there. But most of all I remember how happy she was to see me every morning & everytime I came home from work. If you weren't so sad at this time it would mean your dog hadn't meant a whole lot to you. So keep your chin up & know that your good memories will soon take over. |
| I am so sorry. It is never enough time together, is it? Hugs |
| So sorry for the loss of of your Poohbear |
| I am so sorry. I know it doesn't make it any easier but you did the right thing for him and some times that is the greatest gift of all. Kristine |
| So sorry for the loss of your sweet Pooh Bear--special thoughts for you and your family at this sad time. |
| I know how badly this hurts, you will never forget him. |
| I am so sorry you have lost Poo Bear. RIP sweetheart. Hugs to you and all your family. Take it a day at the time it does get easier, but never goes away completely. xx |
| so sorry for your loss |
| thank you |
| Hugs to you on this day and many days forward. Its so hard to recover the heart, home and the pace of your day. Our babies bring such color to our lives in ways we keenly feel at their departure. But they were loved with our whole hearts and felt it everyday. That in itself is a double blessing. May you find peace soon in your many wonderful memories of Pooh Bear. |
| I'm so sorry about PoohBear! |
| You have done one of the hardest things, if not the very hardest, that you will ever have to face. You have also done the kindest act you could have for Pooh Bear at this time. And I'm sure as you sat with him in that last embrace he told you "Thank You Mommy. I love you and will be waiting for you when you arrive." I know it is of little comfort right now but trust me that you will come to remember the good times with Pooh Bear far more often than the pain of his passing. You will feel him visit from time to time and feel the love you shared warm your heart for the rest of your life. These guys touch us in a way few other can and in doing so they make our lives so much richer, warmer and in every other respect better. Cry for a while, you deserve it, and one day Pooh Bear will help you move on. Until then, and of course after, we are all here to offer our help and support. Carl |
I'm so sorry for your loss  |
| Dog Heaven When dogs go to heaven, They don't need wings Because God knows that Dogs love running best. He gives them fields. Fields and fields and fields. When a dog first arrives in heaven, he just runs. Dog heaven has clear, wide lakes Filled with geese who honk and flap And tease. The dogs love this. They run beside the water and bark And bark and God watches them From behind a tree and smiles. There are children. Of course. Angel children. God knows that dogs love children more than Anything else in the world, so he fills Dog Heaven with plenty of them. There are children On bikes and children on sleds. There are Children throwing red rubber balls and children Pulling kites through the clouds. The dogs Are there, and the children love them dearly. And, oh, The dog biscuits. Biscuits and biscuits As far as the eye can see. God has a sense of humor, so He makes His Biscuits in funny shapes for His dogs. There are kitty-cat biscuits and squirrel biscuits. Ice-cream biscuits and ham-sandwich biscuits. Every angel who passes by Has a bicsuit for a dog. And, of course, all God's dogs Sit when the angels say "sit." Every dog becomes a good Dog in Dog Heaven. God turns Clouds inside out to Make fluffy beds for the dogs In Dog Heaven, and when they Are tired from running and Barking and eating ham- Sandwich biscuits, The dogs find a cloud bed for sleeping. They turn around and Around in the cloud. .. until it feels just right, and then they curl up and they sleep. God watches over Each one of them And there are no bad dreams. Dogs in Dog Heaven Have almost always Belonged to somebody On Earth and, of course, The dogs remember this. Heaven is full of memories. So sometimes an angel will walk a dog Back to Earth for a little visit and quietly, Invisibly, the dog will sniff about his old Backyard, will investigate the cat next Door, will follow the child to school, will Sit on the front porch and wait for the mail. When he is satisfied That all is well, the dog Will return to Heaven with the angel. It is where dogs belong, Near God who made them. The dogs in Dog Heaven who Had no real homes on Earth Are given one in Heaven. The homes have yards and porches and there are Couches to lie on and tables to sit under While angels eat their dinners. There are special bowls With the dogs' names on them. And each dog is petted and reminded How good he is, all day long. Dogs in Dog Heaven may stay as long as They like and this can mean forever. They will be there when old friends show Up. They will be there at the door. Angel dogs. by Cynthia Rylant |
| A couple of months after Melody passed away, when I could finally talk about it, I sent an e-mail to Melody's Allergy/Dermatologist vet to let her know so she could update her records. She had figured out Melody's allergy problem 10 years earlier. No regular visits, just phone updates to let her know how the treatment was going & to order new serum over the 10 years. Imagine my surprise when one day there was a package sitting on my door step & inside was the book you just quoted along with a personal message written in the book from this vet. It has a special place on my coffee table for anyone who wants to read thru it. |
| Strangest thing just happened to me. I have wanted Pooh Bear to give me a sign that he is ok now that he has crossed Rainbow bridge. I have a small box I got from his first vet when he was a puppy that I has stored 12 years of licenses, dog tags, etc. This box has sat on top of the refrigerator, flat, not on the edge. I was standing in the kitchen with my back turned and next thing I knew this box is on the floor. It literally would have to be pushed off the top of the fridge to have had this happen. Could this be the sign I was looking for? |
| So sorry to hear about Poohbear. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Big hugs from us to you... |
| I am so sorry for your loss. What happend to the box could be a sign, when you are really close to someone some kind of conversation goes on....... Nice poem you shared. I also loved the poem from Marianne. Still thinking of every dog I've loved to much.  |
Need to change to calendar page to July. It's a calendar of Old English Sheepdogs. I may shed tears, but I will be ok. Miss you dearly Pooh Bear.  |
|
| It still hurts since we lost Pooh Bear on June 25th. Shed alot of tears yesterday. Still have a hard time talking about him, but finally put his picture on my smart phone so I see him everyday. I still can't believe he's not here. Does it get better? |
| It takes a long time to learn to live without him in your life. |
