Had to put our Pepper down today :-(

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Emily}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I've asked my rainbow buddy Yogi, to give Pepper a tour for ya. They'll have lots of fun together while they wait for us to one day join them. Yogi has been there for 6 years and 5 days so he know his way around.

Take care of yourself, and don't ever worry about what anybody else thinks. If it's time for you to cry, just cry. If that makes someone around you uncomfortable, they can leave. You need to grieve.

My wish for you is for a wonderful miracle that lifts your spirits and turns the lump in your throat into the warm spot in your heart as fast as can be.

Hugs and butterflies,

LBTC, this is such a well thought out posting.............the tears just flowed!

Emily my heart goes out to you, I truly am so sorry about your darling Pepper.

Love and hugs.

Oh Emily - I feel your pain. I had to do the same for my beloved Tango only six months ago and seeing your post made me cry all over again.

Remember the good times, know that you did the right thing, and let the grief happen. Hang in there!!

I'm so sorry Emily. Take solace in knowing you gave Pepper a wonderful, happy and long life.

Yes, hold that thought. You made a tough decision, but in light of all the joy you shared with Pepper before, I think you can be confident that you made the right one.

Thank you all for your kindness. Your words and thoughts are greatly appreciated. I'm so glad we took this holiday picture, just one week ago today, when Pepper was a lot better:



I'm also so thankful to have my wonderful DH at this difficult time. He adored Pepper, she was his girl, and he is grieving as much as I am.

So many people have been through this, and I've been through it myself before too. Just knowing that we as humans share this kinship and can empathize fully when one of us loses a beloved pet is a thought I find comforting.

Gentle journey, dear Pepper.


Much alofa from Sherry (and my cats).
