    I am sorry for your loss. My Georgie dog went to join her yesterday and I can't stop crying over him being gone. I keep thinking he's right behind the office door over there, but he's not. The house is much too empty today. Who is going to let everyone know that I'm home at the end of the day? George was an 11 yr old Sheltie who did as much to raise my children as me and their father. He is loved and missed by us all

    (what a great first post...)

    TriMom217, I am sorry for your loss. Last week was horrible for me, but it is better this week. Georgie is playing at rainbow bridge with all the rest of our fur-buds. I miss Kallie...but it does get easier. I feel her presence in the house still and I keep her memory alive by visualizing her, but I know that will fade with time. I imagine Kallie with Katrina and Toby and they are happy together....

    big hug

    Big hug to your trimom.

    I hadn't realized how much i anticipate seeing my cat, if that makes sense. I guess i get this wonderful feeling just before opening the front door to see her there. Just a feeling of contentment that she brought to the house. I keep doing it, its been a week since she is gone. I am getting used to this new "normal" as I call it, of her not being around. I can't say i am "better" but it is getting easier sort of in a way.

    I have been journalling all my memories of Billie, as many as I can think of.

    I bought a photo album and have collected her pictures together. There is space in the album to write in, so I am going to write in some of the stories that go with the pictures or just thoughts. Sort of scrap booking, although i am sure the "real" scrappers would shudder at my creation. Anyway, i don't want to erase her memory from the house. I just don't. I have this little wooden ornament and that says "a house is not a home without a cat". She made me feel like home, and I want her memory to bring me the same peace. So that is my own focus right now

    Trimom- i have to say that TE has been an amazing place for comfort and understanding and compassion. I felt completely alone when everything happened, and saw SBC's post and immediately felt like there was some one else who understood. There are actually LOTS who understand.

    Many hugs to you
    and Thanks TE

    thanks all. SBC, I did not mean to hijack your thread with my own grief. Today was not any easier than yesterday. I keep wishing I had stayed with him longer, put it off for....I don't know....not like that would change anything....

    Three years ago we decided we wanted to move to NH. The real estate market here in MA totally fell apart and we have not been able to give away our house. George loved playing outside so much, especially in new-fallen snow. We kept telling him how much he was going to love NH, LOTS of snow for him to run around in, to bury his nose in. The sign on the NH/MA border says "You're going to love it here." Well, now we're saying, "he would've loved it there." I can't believe we couldn't pull off this move in time for George to go with us, he would've loved it there.

    I washed his dish and put it away. Same with the water dispenser. The brushes are still full of hair and can stay that way for now.

    goodbye Georgie Dog

    I too lost my dog on July 2nd. Still trying to recover from the loss. My little "big" girl Nutty; welsh corgi extraordinaire. I miss her. She was 14 years old.

    Hugs to you trimom217 and sbctwin. These types of losses are never easy. But the love they give us will stay in our hearts for all time. Remember the good times, talk about them, laugh about the silly things they did.

    For me talking about the funny silly times makes the hurt ease a bit. Take care...
    I just keep telling myself..."I am the Tortise; slow and steady finishes the race." I am the Tortise, coo coo ca choo.

    I have been so depressed since Ranger died, I never know what's going to bring me to tears. I can't go to they gym, haven't felt like riding, I really have no reason to get out of bed except to feed the cat. It's been three weeks and I'm so lonely without him. I just can't go on like this. I am going on a charity ride at the end of the month and after that I'm hittin' the animal shelter.
    I know how you miss Nutty and I am so sorry.When they get to be that old (Ranger was 14,too) you know they won't be around much longer and try to prepare for it but it still hurts like hell.

    At least I know now that it's not just hormones.

    I wish I could write something really special but I think that has been done by so many on here, what a great group of people there are on TE.

    My heart does go out to you.
