Too Many Losses She wasn't there to greet me. She wasn't there at all. Searching floors from one to three, No answer to my call. Then opened door to walk downstairs. The basement light was lit. There on ledge she was laid out, But couldn't sound a bit. The time had come, the dreaded one, An ending choice to make. In pain, would rather not be had In my arms to take... ...... And there she looked up to my eyes. A cry so small was heard. The last of which my heart would hear, I stood there tear eyes, blurred. The comfort of the last few years, She meant the world to me. Another loss, too many now, She's gone to heaven's sea. Sugar  7/05/2005 "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

)...: I lost my dog lady. I loved that dog with all of my heart. She was sent to a breader and then to a farmer. She would of been the perfect dog if she didn't have that one problem. -Juju Juju - 1.) a magic charm or fetish 2.)Magic 3.)A taboo connected woth the use of magic |

The Blue Bowl Like primitives we buried the cat with his bowl. Bare-handed we scraped sand and gravel back into the hole. They fell with a hiss and thud on his side, on his long red fur, the white feathers between his toes, and his long, not to say aquiline, nose. We stood and brushed each other off. There are sorrows keener than these. Silent the rest of the day, we worked, ate, stared, and slept. It stormed all night; now it clears, and a robin burbles from a dripping bush like a neighbor who means well but always says the wrong thing. Jane Kenyon |

So sorry for your loss. To love an animal is a blessing, it is hard because it is so short lived. SG |

ya know, this is the very reason why, I cannot get another pet, lossing the last one was way to difficult... But...whenever I become overwhelmed with loss, I fondly remember the many many times, these critters, were sometimes more human then we coulda ever thought.... Hugs to ya lady...God bless |

thank you for the kind responses and caring words...I went away for a short beach vacation knowing she was close to the end...but hoping she would have eaten and bounced back like last year. She has a resting place in my garden by the fish pond... M |
