for your comments and thoughts and support concerning the death of my dog funkie. some of them were so heartbreaking themselves i can only say how sorry i am for the loss you also went thru.

i had to put her to sleep yesterday as she had stopped eating and could barely walk. she did go to the pond for one final drink. i sat with her on the couch all the nite before and that moring till it was time. it still doesn't seem real to me yet!

i'm gonna hold off on appliance work here for awhile till i get adjusted to the fact that she is gone and it's just duke and i. funkie used to sit in the living room and watch me work on my rollermatics and dishwashers. i promised her before she went that i would try to take as good a care of duke as i could i would try to get my rollermatics finished sometime this year! obviously right now i have no interest in any of it! it won't be the same without her sitting on the couch watching me.

i would not have had her put to sleep if i had thought she had more quality pain free time left. the vet told me wed. that the tumor in her belly could rupture at any moment and she would die a very painful death. had i been at work whern this happened i would never have forgiven myself. when i saw how sick she was fri morning and how she would not eat and could barely walk i decided to keep the appointment and have it done. i couldn't stand to think i was keeping her in pain for my selfish reason of not wanting to say good bye.

i laid in the floor with her at the vets office when they gave her the tranquilizer shot and then the drug that put her to sleep. i will have her ashes back this week.

i'm sorry if i missed anyone else's thread concerning a pet that has died thisd past winter. i usually try to make some small comment of condolence and hope but i think i did miss a couple this past winter and i feel really bad about that! i send my sympathy to anyone who has posted a thread about a pet loss now! and i'm sorry for not responding at the time. sometimes it seems so sad to read about i simply have a really hard time with it. again i apologise! my not sending a comment of hope is not right and i am the first to admit i have a lot of character defects as we say in AA! i'm a selfish jerk! again i apologise.

thank you again for all your comments. i'm just gonna take the next few weeks and adjust to the silence and the loss. funkie always barked when she heard my car or motorcyccle coming down the street. that silence is very hard to deal with right now. duke is not much of a barker.

but i know time heals, we all know that from experience! most of us have gone thru this, some more than others! it's never easy and it hurts a lot. but again i would rather have the pain than be a person who never feels this pain.

thank you so much

i'm sorry i had your name there and somehow i didn't get it posted. thank you for your comments too ofcourse and the mixer bowls arrived yesterday morning very early. i remember i was laying in bed with funkie and duke when the man left them on the porch. funkie actually heard it and looked up!

those bowls will always remind me of her now!

thanks
 
The Power Of Love

My Beloved friend, the beauty of love is in its enduring power to recreate itself, always growing and always being just what we need. You have found it once and like a credit card that has been authorized it will work over and over again. Bask in the memory of Funky and seal the pictures and moments, letting the tears of pain and agony wash away the grief. The healing is finding joy in pain and happiness in sorrow. Funky is already ording an inventory of bellows, pliers and rollers for you. Whe your rejoined, you'll have all the parts you need and Funky will show where they are. I am truly sorry for your pain and honored to grieve with you. Much love, Kelly
 
THERE IS A PLACE

There is a place, far away,
But not so far, you can't "visit" each day.
It has rolling green hills and bright blue skies,
Just beyond the "view" of HUMAN eyes.
Where butterflies dance in the morning mist,
and the dewdrops sparkle with the suns first kiss.
Furred, hooved, and feathered creatures abound.
With each "new" arrival, they gather round.
As each new arrival crosses the "bridge",
They sweep down to greet them, from the "lookout" ridge.
Quickly, they give them to understand,
In God's own time, they will feel again, their HUMAN'S hand.
God's child angels, are the caretakers here.
Spreading love and gentle hugs, there is no place for fear.
No storms, no thunder, and when it rains it is light.
No flashes of lightening split the night.
Tis a "resting" place, at Rainbow's end,
Where they wait til they may rejoin, their HUMAN friends.

In sympathy for your heart ache...
 
So sorry for your loss.

I've lost many relatives, but I've never lost a family member from my own home (people or pets). I'm sorry that I just cannot even begin to imagine how you feel. Nevertheless, My thoughts are with you and Duke. Hopefully you'll adjust to a quieter life and take comfort in each other.

Providing some local e-support,
Dave
 
Our thoughts and sympathies are with you at this most difficult time.
I believe you did the right thing. As you noted sometimes people keep their dogs around for too long. I think you hit it right with poor Funkie. You did what you had to do.
 
You did the right thing, and I now how difficult it was do, but Funkie is in a much better place now and she in pain free. Cherish your memories of Funkie and keep her in heart.
 
I am so sorry for your loss, I know you are in terrible pain right now. Please take some small comfort in the fact you gave Funkie a wonderful life of companionship and love. Time does heal wounds, but Funkie would want you to be happy. I'm praying for you and Duke.

Animal Lovers Understand

I cried harder at putting my 16.5 year old cat down than I did at either one of my grandmother's funerals.

The best thing you did was let him go. You knew and so did he and unlike watching a human just fade away in pain and suffering, your dog is free of that.

You did the right thing, even though you might question it sometimes.
 
I am so very sorry for your loss!

I admire the strength it took to see past yourself and do what is best for Funkie. It won't be easy, but just take it a moment at a time. I hope you find peace and joy in the years of happy memories you shared.
 
I know how extremely difficult it is........

I had brought home a puppy on Valentines day when I was in grade school. Her name was of course, Valentine. She and I grew up together, through four litters of her own. 16 years later she was having seizures on a more frequent basis and my mom said it had to be done.

I took her to the pound myself and it was the most incredibly difficult and painful thing I have EVER done in my life.

Many, many years have passed since this time and I not had another pet since.

So Pete, I personally know what you've had to go through and my heart goes out to you. I am vear sorry to hear about the loss of your loved one.

Pete,

I'm so sorry to be late with my most sincere sympathy for the loss of your sweat dog funkie. It looks like many of your web friends here feel as bad for you as I do. My partner and I love our cuddles so much, I don't know what we would do if this happens (which it also did last year). Take this time to heal and remember the good memories you have of funkie. Give Duke extra love as well.

Peter i am sorry for your lost, i had a couple of cats that has past so i know the feeling.
You will always remember him in a good light, plus i believe he help you with that
very cool Kitchenaid 4 way Hydro sweep pound spray system he was by your side.
So i hope your well and take care.

Darren k.
 
You are welcome Pete.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Time will heal and you will never forget the good memories.
Sometimes I think about animals that I had when I was just a child and my heart still sinks.
I guess it is really true love.
Brent
