[SIZE=7]Hello Everyone, I have been trying to find all kinds of way to heal myself. For the members that said that maybe I should go to see a counsler, I have called and made an appointment for myself Thursday. I am beginning to think that I will not make it through this without some extra help. Most of you here are great and I really appreciate all the good things you have said to me but I think I am going to have a long hard road back to a place where I can at least stop crying and wanting to be with my buddy. Someone reccomended making a page of photos of Sparky so people could see what I fell in love with. So here goes. Also I am putting the link to my Corky's page, so everyone can meet him, I lost him on November 27, 1998.

Corky's Tribute page on Petloss.com

God Bless everyone who has lost their furbabies.

One of my favorites

Another one, i can't figure out how to put all these pictures in one posting so I am doing it this way. I hope it's ok.

He loved to play with the kitty

He loved to sit in this chair and get wheeled around

Hi Trish,

Your Sparky was a beautiful dog---those are really some great pictures of him. The pain of losing him will lessen with time but I don't think it's something we'll ever completely get over. We do learn to continue on and deal with the loss, each of us in our own way. I haven't viewed Corky's tribute yet, but when I do, I'll let you know what I think. I'm running a little late with some errands today, but I'll check back later.

LOVE & HUGS,
--JIM

Hi Trish,

I just viewed Corky's tribute at pet.loss.com. He too was a beautiful dog and the poems you wrote to him were beautiful. I know you miss him and Sparky terribly but I know they were very much loved by you and your family. What a great life they obviously had here on earth because of you!

Even though the time we have with our beloved pets is NEVER long enough and it hurts like hell to lose them, I don't think a one of us ever regrets one single moment of having them in our lives.

May God bless you and your family and give you the strength to get through this most diffucult time.

LOVE & HUGS,
__Jim

Hi Trish:

Sparky.........such a beautiful, sweet and beloved furdog!!!

I loved looking at all the pictures, really, but because I've always had "kitties", I love the one where he
was being playful with the kitty........
Very, very precious!!!!!

You did great with posting the photos.........I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how!!!

I, as well, checked into Corky's tribute......... A very handsome, beautiful furdog, as well.....

And, as _Jim said, "What a great life they obviously had here on earth because of you".......

The pain....................God, it really, really takes some time..............
It is soooo horrible.......I 'REMEMBER WHEN'.....

I wish you much peace and love Trish, to you and your family, as you go through this journey.....

Have you ever heard of that Garth Brooks song.........from way back....called, "the Dance???"
Talks about how we'd gladly go through the pain again, of losing..................
Because, "not in a million years", would any of us ever want to "MISS THE DANCE"........

The Dance, the precious lives of "our kids"...... You know??

The song is "one of those that just makes you cry"......... That one and the
Dolly Parton one, "I will always love you"............

Those songs, when I hear them, I cannot help but cry....
And, that's okay!!

I sincerely hope that day by day Trish, you are feeling even just a tiny bit better.
Baby steps...............

That's how I got through.....That's how most of us get through....

God Bless you and your family always & forever,

Love, Denise

Hi Trish!
Sparky is just gorgeous and full of personality!! I am glad you got all the photos up with the captions--what a beautiful animal! I can see he filled up the room and it is small wonder that you feel so distraught and upset by his loss.
I hope you will be able to share any insights that you glean from seeing someone "in the field" alot of us have been curious about professional assistance and anything you can share with us would be so appreciated!
Meanwhile, I will light a candle for you and say a prayer that you will feel comforted and recieve all the love and guidance that you need in your healing journey. I am thinking of you!
Love
Patti

I would like to thank all the people who wrote great things here. Especially Denise and Jim, your words were more than comforting and I could reallt relate to what you were saying. My baby's meant just as much to me as my own 3 children do. Does that sounds terrible or what? They were not just dogs, they were part of our family and I know that my children feel the same way I do. To songs "The Damce and DOlly parton's "I will always love you" are my total tear jerker songs when it comes to thinking about my furbabies Denise. I even believe that on a tribute page that I made for Corky, "I will always love" you plays in the background. I have finnaly made a tribute page for my Sparky which can be viewed at the following link plsu I am also putting COrky's here with his incase some people who wanted to see it, were not around when I posted Corky's link. I love you all and I don't know what I would have done since August 31 without the people here. I was even at a point where I wanted to join my Sparky and didn't care about anything else and I have 3 kids (girl(12),boys (15&17). I have to think about them too. ANyway here are the links, I hope that you enough their tribute pages as much as I enjoyed making them.
God Bless
Trish
