At a little after midnight on Aug. 12th I lost my beloved Boston Terrier. She would have been 13 years old in October and I got her when she was ten weeks old. I always knew it would break my heart if anything ever happened to her, but I didn't comprehend the excruciating pain that it would bring to me. I'm so totally devastated and lost. She was the most amazing little lady, protective, loyal, funny, sweet, and above all else she loved me unconditionally and showed that to me every day of her life, as I loved her in the same way. She was my heart, my love, my companion and my friend. I will miss her for all the rest of my days. Be at peace my angel, I will love you always.
Your devoted Mom,
Cathy

Dear Cathy just how much pain we feel when our babies go does come as a shock doesn’t it. I don’t understand why maybe because even though we KNOW we still expect them to live forever and ever.

Be assured that your little angel is at peace the only one that is suffering is you and eventually you will smile at the memories and wonder when exactly it was that you started breathing again.

Take care and post here as often as you feel you need, we all understand how you are feeling and sympathise with what you are going through.

Love Sue

When I first got my babies, it never occurred to me that they would pass someday, and before me. That seems odd; I know animals have shorter life spans. But it just never occurred to me. As Freyja got on in years, it began to dawn on me. And in her last year, we both realized that there was a strong possibility that might have to help her along... The week before she died, we knew. And the appt was 48 hours or more after we made the appt. I cried and cried that week... But even then I was not prepared for the utter sense of loss and despair. HA -- I am STILL NOT prepared -- and its been a few months since Freyja left this world!!! I still cannot believe how much it hurt then, how much it still hurts now...

I am sorry for your loss and your pain, Cathy. It will hurt for awhile, but it does get easier.

Love,
Jennifer

Dear Cathy,
We are in the same boat my friend! I had to put my CAT Fish down on August 1st 2003! I'm so happy to have met another person who names their pet after another animal. Out of curiousity, how did you come to your name? Mine just happened, no reason.
Fish was Grey and White, I called him Wuss because he was afraid of everything, sometimes even me! He had liver and gallbladder problems and I couldn't let him suffer anymore.
