Time to say my Goodnights to you my darling Angels.
Goodnight and God Bless. I hope I see you in my dreams.
Love you always my sweethearts. xx

Hi, Jan, thank you so o o much for sharing that quote with us. Not trying to diminish the words of the quote, but I hope you will understand when I say that I think this is true whatever the precious life form we share our hearts with.

One of the many goals of this grief journey is not to let go of or move beyond the love we have shared with our beloved companions, but rather to heal enough from the pain of physical separation from them so that we can embrace their sweet Living Spirits that are forever with us in our hearts and memories.

Jan, thank you again for sharing this wonderful quote with us and for your wonderful comforting encouragement that only you can offer each of us here. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Yes of course Moonbeam, the quote applies to all our precious fur/feather babies, I meant to add that in my post, thankyou for reminding me, and apologies to any who might have felt that I was excluding them and their beloved fur/feather soul mates.

Moonbeam, thanks for your kind words and for thinking of me. You bring so much comfort to so many of us on this forum.
Hugs Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Hi Janika

You are 9 hours ahead of me right...just trying to figure out the time...it's 10:30pm here so I'm thinking it's 7:30am there. Anyways, I just went to the chatroom and it seems like you had just left. Just wanted to say hi. Don't know how late I'll stay up. After being sick for two weeks, I went to the doctor's today and they put me on a steroid, prednasone, to help open up my lungs and breath easier. I'll be glad just not to be sick one of these days so I can get on with things. Hope you have a decent day, and hugs and pets to Pixie.

So Sorry I missed you Dennis. I do hope that you are feeling better now.

My Darlings, Tasha and Noushka, I am missing you both, Noushka you used to sit at my side whilst I watched 'Wimbledon'. Well its that time of the summer again, and It seems so odd not to be able to have our TV watching hugs, although I know you will be here with me along with darling Tasha.
Dear Pixie, has started to sit near me for TV watching, but she is not as keen on the Tennis, bless her. She loves The Dog Whisperer and sits glued to it, also Countryfile, anything with animals.
We need your Angel help again sweethearts, please be thinking of us again today. Life sure is full of worries and its ups and downs, you both always helped me through worrying times, and I know you still do.
Love you my sweethearts

Mummy and Pixie xx

Hi Jan,

I had to laugh that Pixie loves the Dog Whisperer. It's my fave programme too. But I can just imagine her, sitting glued to the television, as Ceaser does his famous "SHHH".

Hope you okay today.

Big hugs -- Cheryl xx

Thanks for your reply Cheryl. Pixie puts her head to one side when Cesar makes the schhh noise, funny to see.

My darlings, Tasha and Noushka, I just want you to know that I think of you every day. You are the sweetest Angels, you always have been, and always will be.
Loving you always and forever.

Hi Jan--

Just checking in to see how you are the horse (Pixie) are doing? I've missed you in chat for a couple of days now...

I'm okay. Just okay. Not exactly thriving. Unemployment is so BORING!

Hugs from Margi and Spiritwolf

Hi Janika. Just checking in with you also. I'm hoping you're doing ok. Thank you for being a good friend on this forum.
-Donna

Hi Janika,

I've been in the chat room a few times over the last few days, but all alone in there. Down in the dumps, waiting for the universe to give me a break for a bit. Hope Pixie is being a blessing in your life.

Dennis

Thanks everyone for checking in on us. Yes Dennis Pixie sure is a blessing. She has brought so much joy back into my life, when I thought that I'd never feel truly 'happy' again.

It's the 10 months for my Precious Noushka, this week so I have been having some bad days again. I'm sorry I haven't been able to post much just lately , but I am always thinking about you all, and all our precious Angels.
I too have checked out chat a few times but my timing over here in Uk is so hard to synch' with you all in US and Australia. I'll keep trying and hope to see you there soon.

Love and hugs to all

Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Janika,

Thursday nite, 11:43pm California time. I've been reading and posting short replies all night, trying to catch up, trying to connect, trying to keep from going out of my mind. 10 months since Noushka. I've chatted with you so much about her, and I find it sad that I never got to meet her. I just went to the chat room and it said you just left. Seems like this week lots of people have been having meltdowns. I've been crying for 2 hours, reading other's losses, and writing back. This is one of those nights where it feels like I'm the only one left in this world, yet the whole world is crying. It's so hard sometimes. I know you miss Noushka and Tasha. I miss my little girl so, so much. Hope your day with Pixie is pleasant.

Dennis

Thanks Dennis, sorry I missed you again. I keep popping into chat but never find anyone. I'll keep trying.
Ten months today , my darling Noushka, you joined our precious Tasha and our other Angels. Thinking about you so much.
Love you always my darlings. xx

Time to say goodnight and God bless my darling Angels. Please watch over all the people here who are so sadly missing their darling fur babies. Think of us tomorrow my sweethearts. I know you will be watching over us.

Loving you always and forever.

xx

Thinking of you my darlings. Goodnight and God Bless, Love you my sweethearts. xx

Hi Jan--

I've missed getting my regular Janika fix in Chat lately! What times are you usually on now? (In your time. I know you're eight hours ahead of us...)

How is Pixie the horse?

Leopold is sleeping right now and I am being very careful not to disturb him. Don't want to cause any sudden outbreaks of Jet-powered Unbridled Enthusiasm! LOL.

Just wanted to say HI, and that I miss you!

Me too, wanting to say hi to you, Noushka, Tasha and Pixie. I've been doing my "standing in the background" reading posts, just a bit unmotivated lately, but starting to physically mend and get outside a bit. Still planning to one day take you up on your offer of a cuppa. Hope to see you in chat one day soon.

Dennis

Thanks Margi and Dennis, it was good to hear from you both. I just popped to 'chat 'but the room was empty again. I'll keep trying. I usually check in 7 am ish and 10 pm ish UK time, give or take an hour each way. Hope to see you there soon.
Margi, if you can catch Leo the Lionheart please give him a hug.
Dennis I'm glad that you are starting to feel better, I'll get that teapot warming !

Love to all

Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

My Darling Angels
Sorry I haven't been able to post much just lately, but it doesn't mean that I haven't been thinkng about you. I think of you all the time. Tomorrow is a very important day when we will need your Angel love and prayers. I know you will be watching over us again.
Goodnight and God Bless my sweethearts.
Mummy loves you. xx

Hi Jan--

Missed you in the chat room yesterday, darnnit! I so wanted to talk.

Sending much, much love and good wishes in your direction--

Margi, Spiritwolf, and Leopold the Strange

Thinking of you and missing you my darlings. I won't be posting for about a week as we are going on a little holiday, but I know you will be with us. Our souls know no distance and can never be seperated.
Loving you always and forever.
Mummy xx

Hi Jan,

Enjoy your holiday.

Hugs -- Cheryl xx

Hi, Jan, I hope that you're having a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. Will look forward to sharing your news when you return. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hey there,

Just read that you are gone for a week. Did you go somewhere that you could take Pixie with? I guess either way, with you or waiting at home, it'll be good for ya. I was in Los Angeles for 10 days visiting with "me mum". I'd need all the Earl Grey tea in London to cure our issues. I looked a few times, in the chat room, but was always alone there. Guess we'll catch up in a coupla days when you return.

Dennis

But she doesn't have a lot to say..."

Pixie went too Dennis xx

Hi Jan,

Hope you are having a great vacation with Pixie.

Thinking of you,
Sonya

Madi,

Thanks for letting me know about Pixie. How are things down under?

D

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for your kind wishes and for thinking of us. We had a really good holiday and Pixie loved every minute. She behaved impeccably and was loved by all who met her. I will post some pics on my Pixie 'new beginnings' thread, very soon.

Dear Tasha and Noushka, it still seems so strange to go anywhere without your 'physical' presence, but I just know that you are 'here' joining us in whatever we do. Goodnight and God bless my darlings. Love you always and forever.

I checked into the 'chat room' but alas it was empty. It's almost midnight here now so I will bid you all Good Night, and hope to chat soon.
Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

Hi to Her Majesty, the Queen Janika,

Where's my bloody cuppa? Blimey!!! Welcome back. I'll look for you in the chatroom.

Signed,
The Cheeky Bugger

Ha, thats a great welocome back Dennis, thanks. I was thinking of you all and I can't believe how many new friends are on the forum in just that one week away. My heart goes out to all, and hopefully I will read everyones posts and be able to reply soon.
The teapot is warmed and best china is out awaiting your arrival Dennis. Just let me know in advance and I will bake some scones to go with the tea. Right now I am waiting in the 'chat' room, all alone , Shirley Valentine again, just talking to 'wall'. Hope to see you there soon. I'll wait for a few minutes.
Hugs
Jan and Pixie and my Angels xx

Welcome back, Jan. Glad you and Pixie had fun

Cheryl xx

Hi Janika. Thinking of you today. Just wanted you to know. I hope all is well for you.
-Donna

Hi Jan:

Hope you had a great trip and have some stories of Pixie. Yes, the chat room is empty when I am there, hope to run into you and others soon!

Thanks Cheryl, Donna and Dihann
We had a great time and its been lovely to get back on here and see all the lovely messages from you all. This truly is a great community. I have been thinking of you all, and if I'd had internet access at the 'Barn' I would have checked in. It was a converted barn right out in the middle of Suffolk, very peaceful and wonderful surroundings. Lots of lovely walks for Pixie.
Hope to catch some of you in chat soon.
Hugs
Jan xx

My Darling Angels

I've been thinking about you so much (I always do). You are there for me whatever I am doing, I know that. Darling Grandson, Max, said he was missing you again Noushka, bless him, so we got out the photos of you and Tasha and I made sure I didn't cry until he had gone home armed with some more photos of you both for his bedroom. He's only 6 but he is so sensitive to what I am feeling. He loves Pixie, and she brings so much love and joy again, they are getting along fine, but like me he will alwyas have you both in his heart and soul.
Your Angel magic is needed for a very special friend on LS. Please do all you can to help her over these next few days. I will be saying prayers too, and I know her Angels will be there for her.
My birthday is tomorrow, and it will seem strange not to have you both here with your little birthday ribbons on. I know you will be at my side. Pixie hasn't been initiated into the birthday ribbon thing yet, but I think she will look cute.
Loving you always and forever my darlings

Mummy xx

Hi, Jan, I would like to offer you my birthday greetings, and hope that you have a very pleasant day and celebration. I know your sweet angels will be celebrating with you as they always have, along with your precious Pixie who is still "learning the ropes". Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and I will look forward to knowing how things are going.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thank you Tasha and Noushka and Sooty I know you had a hand in my miracle.
Thank you Jan

Hugs
Anna and My forever guaridian angels

Bless all our Angels Anna.

Dearest Tasha and Noushka, I'll miss you at my birthday celebrations, but I know you'll be here with us. Don't forget to wear your pretty ribbons. I'll have to find a new one for Pixie, makes me sad using yours, altho' I know you wouldn't mind.
Loving you always my darlings.
Mummy xx

Hi Jan,

Just 'dropping in' to see how your birthday went? Did you get Pixie her bow? Would love to see a pic if you have one.

Hope you had a good one, and hope you're well.

Hugs - Cheryl xx

Me too, wondering how your birthday went? Do we get to see Pixie all decked out for the occasion? Sorry I didn't get to say Happy Birthday ON your birthday, but I was having four teeth pulled out...

Hope you had a fine one!

Big Hugs from Margi, Spiritwolf, and Leopold the Leopardcat

Thanks all for my birthday wishes on here and on FB. Yes, I had a lovely day and Pixie looked adorable in her big pink ribbon(taken from one of my presi's.)........ yes I got flowers, champagne and presi's too.
I will get round to posting some pics soon.

My Darling Angels, I know you were there with us, waiting under the table for cake crumbs, along with Pixie....... altho' she is too big to fit under the table. She still managed to find a few.
Thinking of you every day, loving you always and forever my sweethearts.xx

Hi, Jan, so glad that you had a good birthday celebration. Present ribbons do make great adornments for our beloved companions!!! Will look forward to seeing your pictures.


Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks Moonbeam

I still haven't managed to upload the photos. Hopefully I can get round to doing it this week. I will post them in my Pixie thread. My parents are moving back to Uk from Spain so things have been hectic. It will be lovely to have them back.

My Sweet Angels, I know that you will be happy that Nan and Bar will be back here with me. They love you both so much and know how much you mean to me.
Please look after the new fur Angels. There are so many and their mums and dads and siblings are missing them so much. We try and help each other on here when you have to leave us and I hope that you are all 'connected' too. I'm sure that you are.
Love you always and forever .
Mummy and your sister Pixie xx

Noushka

My Sweet darling Angels, Tasha and Noushka,

This time last year you started to get ill my precious Noushka. One week tonight, one year ago, was when we had to leave you with the 'vet' I am having a bad time as I'm finding it hard to think that it's almost a year since our last snuggle and kiss, which I never for one minute thought would be our 'last'.
Thankyou both for visiting me in my dreams, it does ease the pain of not being able to be with you, a little...
Loving you always and forever..

Hi Jan,

I'm thinking of you as you're approaching this painful 'anniversary'. Doesn't the time fly by? We all count the days, the weeks, the months, the years... sometimes I feel like I obsess over it (3 months, 1 week, and 5 days for me) I guess it's our way of holding onto them. I'm glad you have dreams of your darling girls - I believe that's their way of letting us know that they're still with us.

Sending you big hugs - Cheryl xx

Thankyou so much for your kind thoughts and words, Cheryl. It means such a lot to me. I'm sorry I can't post much at the moment, I can't seem to find the right words. Pixie is being really sweet, it's as if she knows that I need comforting right now.
I am thinking of you all and sending love.

Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Jan, you have nothing to apologise for, we all understand. Just know you're in all our thoughts. You will get through this - your angels will be looking down on you and guiding you through. Also, you have your earthly angel, Pixie, to help! I'm so glad she's providing sweet comfort. I wish I could reach through the computer screen and give you a big hug!

Take care - Cheryl xx

Mummy
As my anniversary approches I wanted to send you something.

Dog heaven is a special place
My tail is wagging fast
With all the things we dogs enjoy
I'm having such a blast.

Each night when I look in my dish
I get filet mignon for dinner
Never that dry stuff or stale meat
No cereal or filler.

So many other dogs are here
I never get dog lonely
It never takes me long at all
To find that night's "one and only."

We have so many balls to chase
I'm getting so much fitter
With water flowing everywhere
Always sweet and never bitter.

Sometimes it looks like Star Wars
When I stare into the sky
It isn't UFO's I see
But countless frisbees passing by.

The firemen here all love the place
A perfect spot they can retire
With one hundred hydrants for each dog
They'll never have a fire!

Cars with windows lowered
Pass by me on the street
With dog ears flapping from each one
It makes me feel complete.

Yet in this perfect playground
Doing all I love to do
I find I'm often thinking back
Of all the times I spent with you.

There could be no kinder owner
We always had so much fun
Don't forget that I had seven years
Every time that you had one.

You always gave me so much love
Such kindness and attention
You deserve an owner's blue ribbon
Not just an honorable mention.

So please keep my memory active
In the morning when you eat
As you're chewing on your bagel
I'll be sitting at your feet.

Arf!

Love,
Noushka
xoxoxo

Dear Anna( and my Precious Noushka)
Thankyou so much for that wonderful poem. I love it, and it has made me smile when I was having a bad day. This August Bank Holiday has many sad memories of one year ago, but seeing the poem this morning, really did lift my spirits.
xx

Jan
I thought of you and how you are feeling as you are approaching your 1 year. I did not write
the poem but I went in search for one that I thought was exactly what your Noushka would want
you to know. When I came across dog heaven I knew it was it. I am so glad that Noushka and I were
able to lift your spirit.

Hugs
Anna and My Angels
