M y baby Pontiki passed away September 23 2007 and I'm still missing him so bad. Right now as I write this I have tears running down my face because I miss him so much! I know he is in a better place with no pain and no worries but I wish so much that he was still with me. I hurt so bad missing him every day. He is my sweet babyboy and nothing will ever take his place. I miss him so much, and it hurts so bad and nobody understands the way I feel about him. I have to suffer his loss by my self and it really hurts. I sit and stare at his picture and wish that I was with him so he won't be alone and scared. No one understands how much I hurt being without my babyboy! All I can do anymore is cry and wish I was with him!
You don't have to face this alone...That is what the Rainbow Bridge Angel Babies Mommy's do so well. Not only do they listen and give great advice, they understand because they live it as well! Many People do not understand why you don't "just get over it". Cheyanne has been gone 2 years and thank Dog she found these wonderful mommy's here. You might want to bring Pontiki to the Turtle Pond. Mom takes me there and actually laughs and smailes as she does crazy things through my eyes... Just please know we are all here because we miss our fur babies, so you are not and never will be alone. Cheyanne (& Mom Kim)
You are not alone. Everyone here understands what you are going through. Please do not think Pontiki is lonely and scared. All of our babies are together, having fun and also watching over us. I truly believe that.
Can I say.....I've heard mommy refer to me as her "heart" dog. I know I was, and will always be, extra special to my mom and dad. Everyone who knew me on Earth loved me. I was a tough act to follow. But along came Skye, and he and I were terrific pals.
He didn't behave nearly as well as I did, but mom and dad loved (and continue to love him) tremendously. Skye came to the Vets with us when I left for the Bridge. Mom and Dad and my sister were crying their eyes out. Skye came in, saw me sleeping, and knew I was gone. Mom and Dad think that helped Skye understand where I went (even though the doctor said Skye knew I was sick long before anyone else did). Mom and Dad highly recommend having second (or third) pets accompany you to the Vet if the opportunity presents itself.
After I left for the Bridge, Mom and Dad knew they would have to get another pup right away. Not to replace me, but to fill a huge hole in their hearts and to be a pal for Skye.
Quinn arrived a couple of months after I left (I helped in choosing her - mom says I sent them an angel!).
I tell this story for a few reasons...mom cried an awful lot, and is leaking right now on the keyboard. But to those of you that have gone so recently and whose mommies and daddies feel so empty inside, I want to say that it DOES get better!!! Hang in there, and we promise it will.
I also am sharing this because you should never feel guilty for getting another dog. People have more than one human child and they love them all, right? Maybe in different ways, but they love them all. I do not feel remotely jealous or concerned that mom and dad love Skye and Quinn so much. I know how much I was loved; every second of every day. And I have been at the Bridge for 2 1/2 years, and not a day goes by that mom doesn't think of me. (Especially when she sees the oak leaves I send her!!).
So - my mommy's heart goes out to all of you keep coming to this group, and you will always have someone to talk to. It's ok to cry - and it's definitely ok to smile and feel happy!!
Hi...my name is Floppy My sisters post regular in dogster. Mom finally added a page for me a few months ago. Even then it was too hard for her to post for me.
I have been reading some of the posts and just wanted to offer my support too if I can. I have been at the bridge for 4 1/2 years now.
As you all talk about the loss of your precious fur babies, I just want to say we do understand. I think the pups and kitties on dogster and catster are all very much loved by their families and missed very much.
My mom still says, "I miss my Floppy girl"...it used to hurt very much, but now when she says it, she looks up at me at the bridge....she knows I'm watching
Thank you both for sharing your stories. It does help to hear from people that the pain eases after a while, because right now I just can't imagine it ever getting any better. And I know we'll find the right rescue for our house eventually. It felt good fostering Joslyn for a few days and getting her all cleaned up for her new home. We wish her all the best. We just weren't the right home for her.
Floppy and Preshy - - - this is how life works. The Angel that I sent to mommy and daddy is named Quinn. If you look at her page, her nickname is FLOPPY GIRL !!!!
Don't you think that's a sign? I do.......While we were talking about how hard it is to lose our loved one, and Preshy so recently, along comes Floppy Girl to add her opinion ( a great one by the way!).
And the angel I sent mom and dad has the same name? Coincidence? I think not....
Prescious - your mommy WILL get better, and maybe you can send signs to help her. Whatever is special to you....or maybe something she's not used to seeing. Send her a sign and it will help her grieve.
