It’s been a little over a month since we said goodbye to our six year old Rottie Koukla. She fought lymphoma for almost two years. What an incredible dog! Before that we lost our Dalmatian Spec. Before her, we lost two other beauties…

It is never easy to say farewell. You say that you will never allow yourself to fall in love again, and then you do it again and again. I cannot resist, the unconditional love from a pet is something so wonderful and if it only lasts for five minutes, I will take it instead of a lifetime of nothing special!

It’s amazing how once they’re gone you can’t think of a single thing they did wrong. I was constantly yelling at my Marley to stop barking and that first day without him in the house was the most silent, sad day I’ve ever experienced.I know how you feel, it’s not easy to explain to people who don’t own a dog, they can never be replaced.

Oh you’re so sweet to remember. My cat Desdemona died last summer and for some odd reason, just this morning, Thalia grabbed a black cat doll-like xmas thingie (lying around because..why?) and danced around with it shouting “Desi Ornament! Desi Orrnament!” And it all came back.

I feel you.

The snow on his nose makes my heart skip a little. What a cutie. So sorry for this sad anniversary.

It is hard to believe it has been a year, and Nono’s Rainbow Bridge is beautiful, thanks for posting that Nono. I’m with pogonip, and hopefully someday we will meet up with our beloved pets in heaven.

Jenn, our thoughts are with you. After reading your post today, I gave our boxer (Maker’s Mark) an extra hug and belly rub. With a new baby and a 20 month old (and complete insanity in our house right now), our sweet, loyal Maker’s makes an extra effort to lay low but supports us every step of the way. You reminded me that these lovely creatures capture a huge part of our heart and for many of us, are our first babies.

I’m not sure all people go to heaven, but I’m absolutely totally positive that dogs do.

Jenn,

I am sorry you have to miss your baby, and that he could not stay forever and ever.

Nono,

Oh, that Rainbow Bridge poem. It touches me so every time, and now my nose is running and my eyes have tears. But I love it every time too.

So sorry Jenn. I remember too, and I know how hard it is to lose a special pet. May he always live on in your heart and mind.
