Hello dear friends at LS. It has been a long time since I have been here.I see there's been some big changes. It feels like a different place now. For those of you who don't know me, I am Zachary's mom. My Zachary Daiquiri died on June 18th 2001. LS helped me tremendously duringthe healing process after his death. I encourage you all to post and express as much as you need to.

Zachary's 12th birthday is coming up on November 8th. He was a Maltese dog. He died very young. At 9 1/2 yrs old. He had some kind of neurological problems that were thought to be symptoms of a brain tumor. My friends Sue and Gail helped me alot (i met them here) and their babies Grizzly, and Carley went around the same time as Zachary.

It's been over 2 years since I lost my baby. I keep his ashes on a special wall mantel along with a shrine near my bed. I miss him dearly. I love him beyond words. One day I hope to see him again. I plan to be burried with his ashes. I will never love another creature the way that I love Zachary.

Rest in Peace my beloved boy
November 8 ,1991 - June18, 2001
I am always loving you buzz.

Dear Zachary's mom:

Welcome back; thank you for visiting us again.

I am sure we all light a candle in our hearts for all the loved ones and their fur babies for as long as this site is around. It is nice to hear from an "oldcomer" and to know that the memories of our pets will carry on in our hearts for as long as we are here.

I know you still miss Zachary and I know how hard it is as his anniversary approaches. I hope you continue to find solace here.

Love,
Jennifer

Thanks jennifer.
That was so very sweet of you. It feels good to be back here. Your kitty was so beautiful! When and how dir you lose him/her?

Hi Kathleen,
I know how you feel about Zachary. I love my Scott more than I have ever loved before. I covered his grave in flowers for his anniversary on Sept 22, 2003. Boy, it's been
13 mos. without my dearest love. Look Scott! Mommy made it!
I love you Scott! You are my heart and soul. Even if you
are gone, I still love you beyond everything.

Annica Jonsdotter.

I Annica!
Scott was really beautiful! Do you have other horses too? You must live on a farm? Thank you for your words of comfort. Believe it or not...I still grieve for Zachary, it's just not as intense as it was in the beginning. I miss little white boy. I would snuggle with him in my bed for nearly 10 yrs. The bed was cold and hard after I had him pts.

That was the hardest day of my entire life. I can't believe I lived through that kind of pain. I swear I thought it was going to kill me.

Thanksfor your post.

I still remember the pain vividly too - I didn't just think it would kill me I HOPED it would. But what doesn't kill us makes us stronger - and this forum allowed me to share what would otherwise have remained bottled up inside for heaven knows how long.

Dear Kathleen,
I grieve for my baby to this day, but I try not to think about it because it only makes me cry. You can see my post under the forum Eulogies, Tributes and Poems for Scott's story.
I did not get another horse after Scott departed me. Having a horse will never mean the same thing to me again as you will see if you read Scott's story.
I have been without horses for 10 mos. since my other old man died. Still can't believe he's gone, he'd been in the family for 17 years.
I don't live on a farm, I boarded on private property in the mountains.
Thank you for talking about my boy, he was solid gold to me.
Take care, my thoughts are with you and Zachary.
