time will heal

Pets are part of our families. Beautiful tribute.

thank you for sharing your poem. our Harry (heeler x shih tzu) was such a big part of our lives and we still miss him now. he had cancer and had to be put to sleep to – such a hard decision. he will always have a special place in our hearts.

ohhhh hun, so soorry for your loss, its hard to loose such a great companion, and I hope you know about Rainbow Bridge, and know that they are there waiting for you, they are whole, and healthy and play happily waiting for the day you come back to collect them.

That is a beautiful poem

wow what a beautiful poem. Dogs are amazing and they were both very lucky to have shared there life with someone like you.

Dogs do become way way more than our pets! They are like little kids to us, our babies and it’s always had when we have to say goodbye! I guess when the time comes we may have to tell ourselves we are making the decision in their best interest.. Hard I know, but it’s always quality of life that comes first.

Mel1, I’ve got some pretty amazing poems and other stuff that I’d like to send to you. At the risk of putting it on a public forum, here’s my email address(kad7591@yahoo.com.au), so if you send me your email address, I’ll send them to you.

Take care & give your baby a hug from me. xxx

Thank you for your heart felt words, you brought me to tears. At the moment, he is doing well on his medication, but his condition has really deteriated quickly. We are enjoying our time with him, he is still giving us lot of love and laughs and we are just watching him for any signs of worsening. He is so fit and healthy looking that its hard to believe his heart is in such a bad way. But i’ll take your advice. He already is the most photographed member of the family, and we’ll just look after him for as long a we can.

I found that keeping an exercise book near me was an effective way of dealing with my grief. I wrote down thoughts, memories, poems, all sorts of stuff, and it really helped me. What started out as a hodge-podge of thoughts and memories, became half a dozen poems and one longer story. And it’s a memorial of kinds to my babies too.

what a beautiful poem you have written

Ah Mel1, I know what you’re going through. Both my babies had Heart Murmurs, and with appropriate medication, they both had over 4 years of good quality of life after being diagnosed. But the time came when all the medication & love in the world couldn’t make them comfortable, and I knew that I had to love them enough to let them go. Hardest decisions I’ve ever made, so enjoy every moment you have with your baby, take lots of photos & store the memories in your heart.

I absolutely adore dogs and this is a beautiful poem.

I feel for you and know how you feel as our dogs we have always called them the kids and we have laid a few to rest due to old age and it does leave a big whole in your heart. We have only 3 left but they are 17 yrs 13 yrs and 11 yrs so I know there time will also come but I will not get another one once they are gone. We had 9 dogs and 24 cats we now have 1 cat and she is old. As with any death you morn for them and there is no time limit

I feel for you. We do love our dogs and they do become part of our families. My gorgeous little dog has be diagnosed with an incurable heart condition, and we have been told by the vet that we can’t tell how long we will have him. At the moment, he is still feeling well and we are spoiling him a bit. I know we will miss him terribly when its time for him to go.
