(sorry this read is sad, just needed to post to help me make it through) had I only been there in time I walk I wrap my arms tight I cry and don't sleep, my baby dog died this night. An accident-and me just out of sight… Not his fault, three and a half years old- all rough and tumble- is too young to understand be soft-she's too little. I cry because this time grandma can't make it right. I cry for her I cry for me I cry for all that's gone wrong in my deplorable life. I cry how much more do you think I can take? I want to rage against death and the forces that took her but it does me no good, so I sit in my weakness and I cry. I cry for two pounds of dog covered in fluff, her sweetness no longer to share. I cry for her rounding belly with long awaited pups yet unborn. I cry for the little man who, too young, has to see dying. I cry because she was so special, she was mine to take care of and now she is gone. I cry and I walk until night meets the morn, no amount of footsteps or tears falling can undo what's been done so I sit down to write and I cry. |

So sad to hear, It's tragic to lose a pet, especially if there are other losses as well. *HuGS* Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Jellybeans, You express yourself very well, how ironic you choose to be called Jellybean. Eceptional work. Sy |

Dear friend, I am so sorry. And I know it makes it so much tougher, trying to help a little one understand when you don't understand yourself... and when so many things have gone wrong and so many hateful people thrive and a little bundle of love and comfort is taken away. You do have my deep sympathy... You've written your grief well. |

(tears fall down my cheeks) (big hugggssssss) Oh dearest Jellybeans, I am so so sorry to hear about this, this poem broke my heart reading it for I know how losing a pet feels, for when I was growing up as a boy I had two puppies, and one got ran over by a car when I was running to save him from the road, and my other one ran away from home. Those pets were the only friends I ever had as a boy, and I cried for weeks, so sad I would never have them to hold in my hands again, to lick my hands and cheeks and something I could play with. (wipes tears) My heart cries out to your sad loss and I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain and bring your puppy back, but the most I can do is pray for your healing soon and I know that now your puppy is barking and running about happily freely, and so very happy it had the most loving and caring owner a dog could ever have, and for that it is happy! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so very much, and if you ever need anyone to talk to, please e-mail me or anyone else here, and we'd love to talk with you! We are all here for you, for you are a golden friend to us all! So very heartbreaking but beautiful, dear friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

I cry too! Poor puppy. Poor you. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

Oh Jellybeans I'm so very sorry for your loss! I know just how you feel....My little parakeet "Spot" died two days ago and I'm hurting inside over her loss. Take care, and if you need someone to talk to I'm here : ) |
