This morning at 7:30 our DJ went to Rainbow's Bridge. His passing was peaceful without any problems. He did what we hoped he would do......go on his own. At the Dr yesterday I knew our DJ would not live out today and I really thought he wouldn't make it through the night but he. We did everything posssible for him medically and made him as comfortable as possible. Our DJ is now with Fuzzball and LittleOne. He's not ill anymore and we know DJ is running and playing. Even though our hearts are breaking and the tears are flowing we know DJ is at peace now. Last night my husband finally did understand that DJ's life was coming to an end. He's been doing pretty good today but I am the one that's in distress over DJ's passing and I'm having a really hard time. We both miss DJ very much! We love him so very much!

Dear Wanda,
I am so very sorry for your loss of DJ and for the pain you are feeling. I Know he is no longer in pain but it still hurts so much when they leave us. I'm sorry your baby had to leave this world. But am so relieved for you that he left on his own like my Snookie did. I was not on last night or today until now since I was feeling poorly again or I would have seen your message before now. Hugs
Love, Ann

i am so sorry for your loss wanda. the pain is so overwhelming at first, but, as you know from past experience, it lets up in time. i'm glad that dj's passing was peaceful - as you wished it to be. i will be thinking of you, ah

Dear Wanda,
I'm so sorry to hear about your dear poodle, DJ. The passing on of our furbabies is such a heartbreaking experience, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You did everything you could for him, & I'm glad he went peacefully on his own. Thinking of you at this very hard time.
Love from Elsie

Dear Wanda,

Sorry to hear about your DJ. Thinking of you and your husband. You're right - He's not ill anymore and he's at peace.

Hugs,
Lynn

Hi and thanks to everyone. We've been keeping busy but I'll come across something of DJ's and it sets me off. Like when we did laundry at the laundromat and I came upon his bath towel that I'd forgotten about. I cried and didn't care that other people were standing there staring at me. Husband explained to them. When I feed our kitten, Chinook, I tell my husband it's not right that DJ isn't sitting there waiting for his. It's not right that he's not there guarding his food from Chinook but yet eating hers. It feels really horrible to not be taking him outside for him to do his duties, to not be able to hold and cuddle him, he not meeting us/me at the door when coming in and it's only Chinook meeting us/me now. It's awful! The tears, as everyone knows, flows quite freely in the early days of our precious furbabies passing. It feels like the tears will never stop but I know they will in time. Once again we are so grateful that DJ went on his own even though it was very painful for us. We are glad DJ is no longer sick and is at Rainbow's Bridge with Fuzzball. My husband is holding up alot better then what I am. We miss DJ terribly! LOVE YOU DJ AND FUZZBALL! We miss you both very much!

Friday, the 4th, I picked up DJ's cremains from the vet. It was a very hard moment, actually a hard day, when they handed him to me and it was a good thing I was in another room. I cried and cried and finally got myself under control so that we could leave. I cried nearly all the way home. I feel somewhat better that we have DJ's cremains here and it doesn't feel as lonely now. I have my good and bad days. I sure do miss DJ!


Wanda

Hi Wanda,

I am sorry for your loss. It is so hard.. it's been 6 months since I lost my Jake, and while the pain isn't as searing it is still deep. I miss him so much, like you said, I miss his woooooowooooooooo's out the window when he would see me pull up in front of the house. Such a big hole is left; he was my heart dog. It's hard to read and write on this site because it's all still just below the surface for me. Some days I still have moments where I can't believe he is really gone.

It's the oddest thing, isn't it?, that having the cremains back at home is comforting. You wouldn't think on the surface it would be, but it really is, even Ann agrees with that one and she thought she was going to hate it, right Ann?!!!! I am still searching out the perfect urn for my Jake, I want something really nice, he came back to me in a plain wooden cube. But I am so glad to have him back.

Take care

I know what you mean about what they came back in. DJ is in a hard plastic container and I am also looking for the right urn for him.....not just any ole urn. It is comforting having DJ's cremains here at home. I'm sure, j4lorn, you will find the right urn for Jake.


Wanda

j4lorn you are so right. I fought so hard in my mind about Snookie having to be cremated. I just didn't want that done to my precious girl and I was so distraught. It just tore my mind up. I also thought she would haunt me forever or I would have nightmares. But when I got my sweet Snookie back I found a urn for her as soon as I could. I hated the tin she was sent back to me in. Now I am able to kiss her urn anytime I feel like it and it is a comfort having her with me.
Love, Ann
