Violet Jewel grew angel wings this morning

With shattered hearts Chuck and I must pass on some sad news....our beautiful Violet Jewel :hearts: grew angel wings this morning. We are lost without her. We've been blessed with 11.2 years with her, but it wasn't enough. I guess it never is.

I will be doing a proper tribute for her in a few days. I just have to catch my breath again. She has been greatly loved. RIP my angel...till we meet again

Helen,
So sorry to hear. Just heartbreaking.

There's been too much loss on this board the last few weeks. :(
Oh no, I am so sorry. :( :( :(

Correction
Oh no, sorry I was thinking of China who has lymphoma, I remember you posting about Violet's leg issues, I hadn't realized she was in such dire condition. I am so sorry, suffering this loss while having to worry about China. That is too much.
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Sending a huge hug. My heart is breaking for you.
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Helen, that's sooo sad. Big warm hugs to you and Chuck. :ghug:
We knew it was coming but I'm so sorry it arrived. You lost a big part of your heart and your family. My condolences.

Godspeed pretty Violet.

I am so sorry for your loss. :(
How hard this is for you with everything going on. I know she was starting to have problems with her legs but this is still unexpected.

I hope she has a lot of mirrors in heaven. What a sweet girl.



:ghug:
Oh Helen. I knew she was having issues getting up and down... and some other things, but didn't know she was so fragile. My heart breaks for you and Chuck. Fly with your wings sweet Violet... :hearts:
Helen, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
Wishing you peace and strength and peace at this difficult time. :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

So sorry to hear of your loss. To many of our sweet babies have been getting their angel wings.
Helen, I am so sorry for your loss of Violet.
So very sorry for your loss. :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Helen, I am so sorry about Violet. As I wrote to the vet this morning, often the right thing to do is the hardest. From experience I know that the pain will lessen, then you will be able to think about the happy times you had with your girl. For now, take care. We are here for you.
:ghug: I'm so. so sorry to hear this! :ghug:
I am so sorry, we have lost too many precious babies these last few weeks. I cry every time I open this bit of the forum. Hugs to you. Play with the other angels, together forever xx
Helen, I am so sorry to hear of Violet's passing. Hugs to all of you from all of us up north here. :ghug:
God speed sweet Violet. Say hello to all our friends who go to The Bridge there before you and let them know we still think of them daily.

Vance, Jen, Zoey and Caitlyn
Helen and chuck so sad to hear Violet had to grow her angel wings, know we are thinking of you all at this sad time.

A poem for you all, god speed violet. :ghug:



THE OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG



I will lend you, for a little while, a sheepdog pup God said,
for you to love him while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love nor think the labour bain
Nor hate me when I come to take my bobtail back again

I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done"
for all the jobs this pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay
But should you come to call him back much sooner then we've planned
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed your wishes to achieve
In memory of him we loved, to help us whilst we grieve,
When our shaggy faithful bundle departs this world of strife
We'll have another tailless pup and love him all his life.

I agree...everyone's babies are getting there though. At least most of the original folks on here...
Helen, I know I'm way late here but I'm so sorry to hear about Violet and China. To lose both so close is devastating. You'll never forget them but I hope each day is getting a little easier.
