MIssing You

I’m missing you so much today. When I was at the vet with you, I held you tight. I never wanted to let go. I ran my fingers through your fur, snuggled my face in it, treasuring every moment. I had my arms wrapped around your neck for the longest. It was so hard to leave you there. I left part of myself with you. I would pay all the money in the world to have you back with me. As much as I love my things, I would walk the street as a pauper if you were by my side. I love you, sweet dog. Today, the rain is falling just like my tears. I’ll be glad when I can remember you with happiness.

My Dearest, Sweetest Duke,
I still cry for you daily. I want you back in my life so badly. I knew it would be hard but I had no idea at all how nearly impossible it would be to accept that you’re no longer here with me. I long for happier times that are now just memories. I long to even dream of you or you to come see me somehow. I’ll always love you and never forget you, baby dog. I’ve been thinking a lot about you today. This time last week I was dealing with the fact that I’d have to let you go to the RB. I still haven’t accepted it. I know time will ease some of the pain. I’ll be glad when I can remember you without so many tears. Be safe and happy at the RB, knowing I’ll always love you. Waiting unpatiently until we can be together again.
Love,
Your Mama

i understand how you must feel. it took my husband 10 or 11 months before he was able to talk about zelda without crying. tears still leak from his eyes sometimes. it’s just gonna take time til you adjust to him not being there all the time. be gentle with yourself and be patient. take care,

(bursts into tears) Oh no, oh no… No, this can’t be happening. I’m so very sorry to hear about this. Something told me to go have a look at the Forties circle today, and I saw your update. I can’t believe it. Duke had lung cancer, and he’s gone on to the Rainbow Bridge? Oh hun, I’m so very sorry. I know how much you loved him, and believe me when I say that that love will go on forever.I know. Duke did not go to the Rainbow Bridge alone. You went with him; and he was met by my Pamina, Dylan and Alarm Clock, and my mom’s Sheltie also named Duke (who we lost last year). I’m so sorry to hear about this. Something just made me click on the Forties circle. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Love, Lightbulb, now known as

I know we do not know each other, but I think we both have the same love for our animal companions and it’s through that link that I come to offer you my deepest condolences. I wish you strength during this hard time.

Oh my goodness…I am so sorry. I am crying like a baby for you & Duke. The hard kind of cry that makes you break out in big yawns. THis is just horrible. I guess I feel so close because I followed you & Duke from long ago, way before you’d ever have to worry about this day. I am so so so sorry. i just hate this…I know time heals..but it hurts right now. One thing I guess we know, this day willcome..and even for each of us. Your spirits will be rejoined someday. My prayers are with you.
