I miss my little girl so much. Everyone who knew her loved her quietness. Even her vet said she was an old soul. All I know if that my heart is broken with loss of such a beautiful baby in my life. I feel so empty without her. She is everything to me, and the love and trust we share is something that can never leave me.

I always had dogs in my life and I assumed that when Emma left me, I would want someone else in my life. But I don't. And I feel like I have lost part of myself. I have always fostered rescue dogs as well as living with my own. But Emma wouldn't tolerate foster dogs so the two of us lived alone all these years. I just can't bear to see another dog in her favorite spots. And I feel guilty that I have a home that could be helping dogs in need, but I just can't bring myself to try.

Oh, Emma's Mom,

What a beauty Emma is - her sweet soul comes through in the photos. You definitely gave Emma a loving home and maybe one day you will want to open your heart and home to another, until then please try to be easy with yourself.

Also, wanted to thank you for taking the time to write to me. Today is a hard day for us it being our Scarlett's four month Angel-versary. Your words touched me and are also grounding as well. You are the first person I heard from that had also dealt with UTI's in their canine. We truly believed that we were close to finally healing our Scarlett but sadly that was not meant to be. It just kills us that we were not able to heal her.

Know that I will be keeping you in my prayers.

- Scarlett's Mom

Emma's mom,

Your Emma looks like such a sweet girl, and I'm so sorry that you are still in so much pain...I know how you feel as I just lost my sweet baby kitty and am totally devestated.
I have trouble right now coming up with any comforting words because my grief is still so fresh and raw, but I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am.

I hope you find some peace and know that your baby loved you and always will.

Hi, Emma's Mom, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. Please permit me to try to add some words of comfort and encouragement in this time of great sorrow.

It is perfectly okay for you to not want to foster homeless waifs, or even think about adopting another companion, at this time. Only YOU will know if / when your heart is ready to embrace fostering / adopting again. Whatever decision you make will be the RIGHT ONE for you.

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pictures of your beloved Emma with us. She is precious, and you are so honored to be her Forever Mom - - the heir to her eternal love.

I hope today is treating you kindly, Emma's Mom, and that you will have a peaceful evening blessed with your beloved Emma's sweet Living Spirit to comfort you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

Yes, she looks like an old soul. Oh dear. I am so sorry.

Emma looks so sweet. I hope she is at peace now, and I hope you truly know that she isn't hurting anymore. I think you will see her again some day. I know how you feel about never thinking ofwanting another animal in your home again. I also felt guilty after my kitty passed because he didn't care for other cats, how would he feel if we took in another, I worried if he would think we were trying to replace him. I think its different for everyone. Its okay if you never take in another four legged friend. I didn't think I ever would, but pretty quickly I started thinking of all the pets just waiting for a new mommy, a family and home of their own. I couldn't not adopt again. But I think it definitely is a personal thing. Maybe if you ever did decide perhaps you were ready to adopt again then you could foster again first - just to test the waters? Whatever you decide, its okay, as its the best decision for you, and that's what really matters.
