One of my little babies died Saturday. The pretty little yellow one in my avatar. I just can't seem to quit crying. He was so special. Always bringing sunshine into our lives. I will always remember him fondly, once I can quit grieving.

Poor Patti! It's so tough to lose a pet. They bring so much pleasure to our lives....maybe they are angels in disguise and have to go back.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Almost all of us at this board are animal lovers and we know what you are going through we grieve along with you.
Come here and post if you feel the need to unload that's what a support board is for because at this time you will have thoughts of 'a comfort ciggy'. (at least that's the way it hits me)

Ann is right, there are many animal lovers amongst us. I'm still feeling really really bad myself for yesterday's lawn mower/baby rabbit incident. But pets are different. We bring them into our lives and we share something with them. It benefits both. No matter the size of the pet, it's the size of the heart we place upon them. That same heart now hurts when our lifespans exceed theirs. Be it the other way around, surely they'd mourn for us in their own way. I believe it to be this special quality to feel emotion and love that has a defined purpose in the "grand design of things". Carry the burden of your grief, absorb it so you can quickly focus on all that was good and happy.

I’m so sorry for your loss Patt......I know losing a friend really hurts. But time will ease the pain and time will allow memories to fill in some of the void they’ve left behind.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Patti. Only time seems to help when you lose a pet.

oh, Patti, I'm so sorry (((((((hugs))))))))))
Here's something I hope - in some way - will help. But, as Vanessa said, sometimes only time helps.
~ A PET'S PRAYER ~
If it should be that I grow frail & weak, and pain should keep me from my sleep, Then you must do what must be done, For this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad-I can understand, Dont let your grief then stay your hand, For this day, more than rest, Your love & friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years, What is to come-can have no fears, You'd not want me to suffer so, When the time comes please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend, Only stay with me to the end, and hold me firm & speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you too will see, It is the kindness you do for me, Although my tail has lost it's wave, From pain & suffering I've been saved.
Don't grieve that it should be you, Who has to decide this thing to do, We've been so close, we two these years, Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Smile, for we've been together for a while.

Thank you all. Knowing that others understand my grief helps. I know that time will heal my heart, but it just hurts so darn bad right now. Take me where my needs they'll tend, Only stay with me to the end, and hold me firm & speak to me, Until my eyes no longer see. I held him until the end. He was not alone. I also know that smoking will not bring him back. I learned that powerful lesson last year when my niece died. Thank you all for caring.

Awww (((Patti))) I'm so sorry for your loss. Words don't really comfort at a time like this, but since I can't be there in person to give you a sympathetic hug, the only thing I can do is say I'm sorry and that I really do understand.
