| Tanya I am SO sorry you are going through this and that you lost your little Joey. What you described sounds exactly like me when a cat was hit in front of my house, the shock and disbelief, wanting to hang on forever, and such deep sadness.
There is nothing but time to heal you and your family's hurt over losing him.... We're here for you.... *hugs* |
| Thank you so much Willow,its funny my little JoJo bean was loved by so many,even tho he was only 5months old.Ive gotten flowers from ppl today,and my poor neighbor is greiving also.I knew posting here would in some way,add to the process of helping me grief.I havent been here for so long due to being busy w/ moving into MY own home,and loving the warmth.Willow your truely a wonderful hearted lady,and your words truely help me.Bless you so much. |
| Tanya, I am so sorry for your horrible loss.
It's never easy to lose a loved one, and probably more so when it's too early, and in front of your eyes. I know it was brutal to see, but it sure sounds like little Joey didn't have any time to suffer. Joan and I are thinking of you and will be hugging Mulligan extra hard tonight. |
| Oh god Tanya!
I'd been hoping to hear from you, but never, ever under a circumstance like this!!!! I'm so terribly, terribly sorry! My deepest condolences to you and your family on losing poor little Joey. I remember how excited you where to tell us all about him, when he first came to your home! I know that nothing can ever replaqce his spot in your heart, but I hope that in time, you will find some healing. What a terrible tragedy... I would definitely write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, urging your fellow citizens to be more aware of speed laws, and the consequences of speeding in residential areas. You may also want to consider going to a city council meeting, or something similar to that, to see if the city can increase enforcement, especially in areas where there are schools. Big hugs to you and your family. Give Mickey and Jagger big hugs and kisses from Mike and I. Karen |

| I am so sorry to hear about your Joey. You will alway have the fond memories and the mischief. Throwing yourself into stopping the speeders will also help with the healing. It will give you something to take your mind off of Joey. |

| Oh Tanya! That is just awful! I hope your efforts on getting the speeding controlled are successful! I am so sorry that you are going thru this!
It is going to take time to ease the hurt and I know in my heart that my Bart and your Joey are together at the Rainbow Bridge chasing bunnies. My thoughts are with you and your family. Colleen and Gucci |
| Well it has been a week today that my Joey was taken from me.Everyone was right over time you start to feeling better,and thanking God he gave you atleast a few months w/ your beloved pet.There is some good that has come out of it.I talked w/ the police about speeders,and they have been patroling this road alot closer for speeders.Also the officer gave me signs to put in my yard,warning people to slow down.Over this week I keep thinking my Lord this could have been even worse."What if" my Samantha ran in the street after him,she would not be here today if she had.So me and my neighbors are working w/ the police to stop speeders on our road.I hope everyone who has responded to my post knows how every word as touched me and my family,and really helped in getting past the pain.It really helps to express the sadness to people who love their pets has much as I do.If I could go back in time,I would have been so much more careful w/ Joey running out the door.I have beaten myself up over and over.As we all know we cant go back,and I will have to learn from this.I know Joey is here w/ us still,but it hurts so much not to be able to hug him,and play w/ him,and just to love and be loved by him.He is deeply missed.Bless all of you..... |
| Tanya, I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. What a terrible, unexpected thing to happen. Unfortunately, cars seem to be a continual threat to our pets and kids. I'm always worrying about my cats and dog. I wish you and your family well and pray that time will work it's magic for you, we'll keep Joey in our thoughts and prayers,
Sharon, Max and kids |
| Hi Tanya,
I'm glad you're doing a little better. Each day will get a bit easier and someday you will remember all the silly things Joey did to make you laugh, and you'll smile at the memories. |
| Yes,it seems I am doing better each day,and now Im looking for a tombstone for our little guy.Anyone know a good place that will have that perfect one for my best buddy?We buried him in one of our wild flower gardens,where the sun is really hot in the morning like Joey loved laying in the sun,and shade in the later in the afternoon.We put fresh wild flowers on his resting spot every day,but now Im ready to get him a stone.I want to thank ALL of you once again.Lots of lOve from my family... |
| Dogsong 2 (Samantha Parton)
out in the trees, dirt on our knees we laid him down forever and on the hill there it was still as in the ever after he lays his rest we knew it best to lay him down so gently and now he sleeps where moss does creep and no more is he with me the birds did cry, and so did I to think of life so lonely and in their song I heard it long what sadness, and what beauty your friend is gone, but you live on in life you loved him fully but now little streams and forests dream and all is made more holy |
| Beautiful! Very hard for me to type through teary eyes. Thanks for sharing.
Chris |
| Tanya,
I was very sorry to hear about Joey. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Karen and Beau |
| Tanya,
I am so very sorry for your loss and pain. I don't come to this section often and just read your post today. We will all hug our fur babies a bit harder tonight. You are in our thoughts and hearts. Ginny |
| I'm so sorry you lost your lil joey, time will soften the pain and allow the wonderful memories you have of him to fill your heart. big hugs to you and your family, you'll be in our prayers |
| Yes, there are companies that sell pet memorials. Do a web search, I just saw one but forgot to get the URL......something like petIDtags.com
I'm so sorry about Joey. I live in fear of that happening as we too live on a road with speeders. So far ............ we are all still here. sheepieboss |
| Tanya,
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to Joey. In time it will get easier. I would have responded earlier but didn't see the post until today. My Aunt got a beautiful pet memorial stone for my cat Murray, but I am not sure where she got it from I believe it was a pet supply magazine. To stop speeding in our area they installed speed bumps they actually paved them into the road. They are these big humps that come up in the asphalt, much bigger than ordinary speed bumps... maybe you could suggest that. Take Care Elissa |
| Tanya,
Our sympathy to you and your family on the loss of little Joey.... Our thoughts and prayers are with you... Please take care of yourself during this stressful time...... |
Hey everyone!!Thanks for all the advice.Something has happened that is just mind blowing in our family!!My best friend called Joeys breeder just too see IF by chance she had any of Joeys sibblings.Knowing how quick the Brussels get adopted she didnt think she would get an yes,BUT she got an yes!!!  She was telling us that this puppy just wasnt getting anyone interested in him.He is from the same litter,and was born 2/10 all the other puppies sold right away,but this little guy NO one looked at him.When she heard that she called me,and we RAN to her,and OH MY GAWD!!He is so cute,and all he wants is too be loved and picked up.My heart just was pounding knowing he is a brother of Joey.So I adopted him,the lady kept saying I dont understand why he had no one interested in him,he looks like all the other Brussels and such.My 8yr old says this was truely meant to be,and that Joey sent us there.Im a beleaver and all,and I have named him Landon(from the Real World).He is just wonderful,and i tell him every night I will never let anything hurt him,and he is such a love bug,and his potty training is going awesome!!!I love all of you for your wonderful thoughts.Im truely blessed by all of... |
| I am so glad that you found a puppy!!! I was going to say that you had a happy ending but I'm sure there is still alot of sadness. Enjoy your new puppy and remember Joey with love!! |
| Wow! This was meant to be... Congratulations on your new pup. Now Joey's legacy can continue, both in you heart and in Landon's many years with you. |
