I do not wish to share this post.

My heart is breaking right along with yours and your post has started a new rush of tears. I am just so sorry for all the pain and sadness and the loss and longing for our babies. I am so sad myself I am of no use to anyone but I am thinking of you.
Love, Ann

I am very sorry for your loss of Abby. I can tell that you are one of the very special people who don't just lose a "pet"... you have lost a family member.

Don't think anymore about a "replacement". What you need is some time to let your grief fade a bit and let life take over the driving.

However... as my grandmother always says "never say never". Only because it would be wrong to place any sort of limit on any part of your life. I doubt Abby ever limited herself It sounds as though both you and she were very lucky to have each other.

I wish you well in your healing and will light a candle for Abby tonight.

Abbys Mommy,
I guess since you still think I have a sick baby at home you did not get a chance to go into my post that Snookie passed away on Sunday. She died on her own here at home in the arms of my husband, my daughter, and me. I took her yesterday to be cremated and my heart is so broken but I know she is pain free and running with Chili Bean, Abby and all our babies from LS.
Love, Ann

Abbys Mommy, You have nothing to apologize for I know you were only trying to thank me for comforting you. My journey has been long and I am thankful for every extra day that I have had with Snookie. She lived 4 months longer than the vet thought she would, but she was getting so sick so often near the end. I am glad she is passed away on her own as I was going to take her Monday to put her to sleep. Snookie is now running pain free but oh how I miss her so much. Life without my little girl will never be the same.
Hugs, Ann

Abby's Mommy,
I'm so very sorry for you loss of your little girl. Dieter was our special "boy". We have no children and he was our four-legged child and our love for him immeasurable. The pain of losing him has been so unimaginable. Each day I can't believe he really is gone and I still shed tears and it's been 4 months today since we had to have him put to sleep. I'm like you and think that we can never have another dog, go through this pain. Then I think of what an amazing dog he was and feel truly blessed to have spent those 14 1/2 years with him. What would our lives have been like without Dieter? I know right now we are not ready for another dog. We adopted a dog, Chelsea, when Dieter was 4 as a companion for him and he loved her sooooo much. Chelsea is still here with us, but never really warmed up to us, as she came from an abusive home, but she loved the deet man and misses him so. We thought about adopting a companion for her, but she really doesn't like other dogs and only enjoyed Dieter. So for now we will love Chelsea and cherish our time with her til she goes to the bridge to meet Dieter. If you ask me today if we will ever get another dog, my answer would be no. The grief is too fresh and the pain too great to think of experiencing that all over again. Dieter was our special love and I miss him more than I can express, as i know you miss your Abby.
your in my thoughts
