I know it's Sunday…I think it's been 3 weeks since Ruthie left…it seems like a million days ago, yet only yesterday…Was June 13th only 3 weeks ago?  I checked the calendar and I think I got it right.  I don't seem to have a grasp of time on this.

After 9 months, Ruthie lost her battle on June 13, 2010. My heart is broken…I miss you so much my dear sweet girl.

We just read that Comet lost his best friend Rugby to cancer one year ago today. May he run free of pain and rest in peace at the Rainbow Bridge

11 months today and though the pain isn't as overwhelming as it used to be and the smiles come more often than the tears with the memories and daily thoughts of you, the hole in my heart remains untouched that will never be filled until we are together again.

Mommy misses you each and every day.

My soulmate, my best friend, teacher and inspawration to live each day as you would – happy and carefree and in the moment.

I love you Zeusy

It's hard to believe today marks nearly two years since we set Jerry free from his broken body, on this day back in October, 2008.

Rock on Tripawds fans, he's looking over us all from the Bridge.

Thinking of Zeus and Jerry today.  Unfortunately the price of loving deeply is grieving deeply.  We were blessed to have our babies in our lives.

It's been six months since we have lost our precious Tehya and it seems like just yesterday. We miss her beyond belief and to this day I am all of a sudden hit with tears thinking about her.  I promised my husband that we would not get another dog as it was just so hard to lose this one after we fought so hard to keep her with us longer but to say I regret that promise is an understatement. So for now I will keep that promise but in the next few months I might just have to keep planting a little seed to see if I can soften him up for another little puppy for our house!

 

I hope with all my heart that Tehya is running and playing with all of the wonderful Tripawd angels that crossed the bridge before her and those that have crossed since she made the journey herself.

My heart is breaking for you.  The pain of losing your Tehya will stay with you but I am glad you are starting to think about adding another dog to your life.  I know that when we love deeply we grieve deeply but even with the pain I know that the joy that Tehya added to your life is stronger than the grief.  Here is a quote that I find comforting.

A Dog's Heart

It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them.  And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart.  If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

I love that quote Debra, thank you.

As hard as it is to have our hearts broken into pieces whenever we lose our special dogs, I can't imagine our life without them. A new pack member always comes in good time though. We all heal differenty but there's something that just clicks when we know the time is right to bring another one into our lives. Until then, we must honor our grief by acknowledging it and letting it run its course.
