I'm so very very sorry for your loss and your pain. Bagel was one lucky dog - that's for sure...

Sande - I'm so sorry you finally lost Bagel - of course, you clearly made a great choice with the timing - preventing her from suffering unnecessarily. Like the others, I'm glad you had a good holiday, and got to celebrate Bagel's 13th birthay.

It's wonderful that the vet came to the house and you reminisced - just BEAUTIFUL! And that Bagel slipped away to take her flight, in your arms.

Keep that Bagel-sized hole in your heart open, because Bagel WILL come back and hover there, and talk to you, when you least expect it.

With my warmest condolences, love and hugs,

Sande,
I'm so sorry you lost your girl. I am glad she felt good for so long. It's hard to let them go, even when it's to prevent further suffering. Holding you tight as you grieve.

Re: My Sweet Bagel in Heaven now..

Thanks, Guys...Your sweet words make me smile..I have peace in knowing it WAS the right time and I told her I would never let her suffer like our other beagle years ago...The Vet kept naming issues that Bagel had overcome in her lifetime! Even lasted 2 months with a cancer that was suppose to be a few weeks...So I do have peace in that area...
But the VOID is so big and I have so much time on my hands.
Time..and the thoughts and prayers of good people..

Oh Sande....I'm so sorry to read this news....you were so brave in letting her go as soon as she started to fail. Bagel had such a blessed life with you....I too will remember your stroller walks.
Please take good care of yourself at this time....

Re: My Sweet Bagel in Heaven now..

HI ALL,

Man this doesn't get easier, really...I still cry most days for my sweet girl...Been four weeks now...I hate coming home and not seeing her face in the window or hearing her howl when I pulled up in the parking space.

Several friends have lost their sweet old furbabies since then...We hug and run from each other mostly...

I don't want another dog..I want her...and I so loved caring for her when she developed her issues..

Some dear friends took the buggy- I insisted that they do that. They have two elderly pugs and they live about 30 miles away so I wouldn't have to see it... We have had a few warm days and it just tears me up when I think of our buggy years...

My cat is sleeping on the bed most nights which is a switch for her. She has adjusted I think- and having her here is better than not having an animal...but she is not a huggy cat so we just do the best we can...

I have lost people and many animals in my life...but this is just the worst grief ever...I know that the prayers of so many folks and the grace of God keep me going right now...A new season of my life is beginning and I am retiring from teaching in two weeks...

I will find outlets and things to help keep me busy...
Sorry to sound so YUK.....but I know you guys understand...

Re: My Sweet Bagel in Heaven now..

You're right, Sande; we do understand. Each of us finds some different ways to manage our griefs - but they don't just go away. It takes time - lots of time - to heal from the worst of the griefs we feel when we lose a companion animal in whom we've invested so much care.

I believe the energy of those animals isn't lost, which is why I speak so freely of Kwali and Kumbi moving over here with Camellia and me to our new home, of them playing at Rainbow Bridge, welcoming new companions, especially from here, of them dropping things as needed from the Bridge to the humans caring for dogs here on the forum - and so forth.

They are just going on doing what they did naturally (or at least, thought about) when they were here on Earth with me.

Every animal who has been on this forum (lots of cats in Everything Else, for instance) is always a member here. It's a BIG, growing, increasing, family. And we keep learning from each other - animals and humans alike.

And the loving energies provide assistance to all who are here.

Bagel easily does her share, alongside and with you. So don't hesitate to tell stories of your life together.
