wendy

good bye dear friend

61 comments:

  1. Dear Velma, I'm presuming that this sad good-bye might mean you have had to make the hardest decision any loving dog owner has to. I've watched for the last few months as your girl struggled, and improved, and struggled again. I'm sad for you if this is the case, her leaving will mean a huge gap in your life. Kind regards Sue

  6. V - thinking of you tonight, she leaves you a bit bereft, yet fortunate to have know her. Sadness, tears and gentle smiles as you remember. Go well...

  7. V- such sadness to see such a friend go. May her passing be gentle; and may the memories that stay with you be those of faithfulness, love and joy. Thinking of you and sending love. B

  9. This is such a hard time. Examining each day, each hour ... is this the time?

    Making the shift from doing everything we can to keep them going to knowing the best we can do for them is help them ... stop.

    My heart is with you.

  10. Oh Velma, I'm starting to cry. Losing your dog is one of the worst things. I'm sure she couldn't have had a better life though.

  30. they say that when our friends (the four legged ones) pass they go across a rainbow bridge and await our arrival...this is something they tell children but I for one believe that all my friends (the four legged ones) are waiting for me so i could rejoice and play with them again. i think she's chatting with was and they are spinning tales/tails about two very special ladies...dear velma...dear wendy.

  43. ronnie, i don't think i ever loved a dog like this, never lived with one for so long, never been loved so well.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm sitting here in tears over a dog I never even met, but I know the love they give and the bond they make, and the hearts they break when they leave. I know as time passes she will make you smile again, even though the present is hard. Thinking of you, Jordi ... and Sienna and Tinta
