Kendrasmom,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. Having to make that decision is just unbearable. And yet we do bear it, exchanging their suffering for ours. Our sheltie, Sadie was such a feisty, fiery little thing. She was our little tough girl, and I know she would have endured anything, suffered anything to stay with us. But we couldn't let her.
Kendra sounds very much like my Birga, who gets along beautifully with everyone as long as they understand that she makes the rules. She's a big dog too ( half German shepherd/ half English mastiff), and yet one of her best friends in the world is an especially tiny min, Dachsund...heaven help anyone who ever tries to hurt that boy.
Big hugs to you,
Dayna

Not only is there a
hope, but there is a
promise you and Kendra will see each other again.

Have faith that His promise will be fulfilled when He calls all of His children back to Heaven to live with Him there. For all who have passed before us that we have loved and for those who one day we will leave behind..........all of us will be reunited and live forever in love and eternity.
Hugs to you KM. I wish you sweet dreams tonight and may all your days be filled with sunshine and peace.
Much love,
Beth

You can be sure Kendra is happy feeling healthy and is definitely watching over you, like the angel she was become.
I too hope you see her in your dreams and know she will always be a part of you. Such a thing has happened to others so one never knows.
Your memorial to her sounds so very nice..her things with her..and her back home again.
Hugs

Slim Jims????
OMG, that was Candy's favorite treat. I cried the other day because we had a bag full of slim Jims for our Diva. We even used them to hide her pills. In fact, when we take her on walks, she always had to make a stop a few of the local markets who gave her one.

I pray your hurt will subside with time. Missing her so much is undeniable. While the missing never stops, her sweet and tender memories will wrap you in her never ending love and bring you comfort and peace,
I promise you.
My Goliath has been in Heaven for nearly 8 months now, and not a day goes by that I don't think of him many many times. The difference for me now is that I can think of him and smile and give thanks for all he brought into my life. Without his life, there would be no memories of him to keep so close and dear to my heart.
Kendra is very happy where she lives. Who wouldn't be in a place where there is no sickness, no starvation, no evil, and no worries or pain? She soars high amongst the angels who watch over us here on earth. Somehow believing that just brings me so much peace.
Much love to you KM,
Beth

Dear Kendrasmommy, Please permit me to add my sincerest condolences to your loss. I think cancer is more hideous in our fur babies' bodies because their bodies are smaller than ours - - which makes the disease more able to spread more quickly - - less defense systems to fight the illness. My number one kitty son Eli died of Lymphoma almost two years ago. I will never forget the day the pathology report said it was End Stage. I kept thinking, "If only I had taken him to the vet sooner," - - but the blood work they did came back absolutely normal. It was only the pathology report on the tumor they removed during surgery that confirmed the horrible prognosis. He was on a very low dose of chemotherapy to help keep him comfortable - - including Prednisone. And he did respond for a very short time. But then an infection set in and although he recovered from the infection, the treatment was just too much for his little body to handle. Two days after bringing him home from several days at the vet's hospital I had to take him back - - it was our final journey together on this side of eternity. I am so thankful the time we did have - - my Eli was a special needs kitty to begin with, and taking care of him in the last few weeks of his life made him even more precious. Please believe me, kendrasmommy that you gave your fur child the last gift of love you could - - the release from a failing physical body that could no longer enjoy being with you. Kendra is now healed and happy in heaven's perfect garden playing with the angels while awaiting the appropriate time for you to join her. It takes time to work through the horrible loss and emptiness when one of our furbabies leaves us, even when we have other fur kids who still need our love and attention. Just take it one day at a time - - and please know you are not alone in your grief journey. Each of us here do understand what you're going through, and we are here for you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.
Peace and blessings,

Kendrasmommy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your precious Kendra. I went back and read the posts you wrote when she was ill. I can truly understand how difficult it was when Kendra was illl with cancer. You took wonderful care of her. I know it's hard to be strong when our fur babies are so ill.
I lost my dog Lizzy to an inoperable tumor this past Oct. I was shocked when I found the lump. And more devastated when I learned it was end stage cancer. The prednisone shrunk the tumor for awhile. But, Liz went through the panting like Kendra did. It was summer time and Liz had to sleep in front of a fan with the A/C running. My heart was breaking just knowing that in time the cancer would spread. Luckily, she had some really good times before she had to leave us. She was always smiling and making me laugh with her silly ways.
Grief is filled with it's ups and downs. You'll have good days and tough ones. But just know that Kendra is free from all illness now. She had completed her time here on earth and earned her trip to Heaven. You were so fortunate to have such a beautiful and special girl come into your life. May you be at peace with the loving memories you both shared.

I feel ya Kendra's mommy. It's been 4 weeks as well and there hasn't been one day, especially after coming home from work that I don't miss Candy's "happy dance". So I only know too well the level of pain you are going through. It's not easy. Hang in there and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
I look at Candy's ashes on top of our table too and can't believe she's there.
All my best and warmest regards
Candy's Dad
