Melanie,

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost my Doberman a few weeks ago to heart failure too. I also thought he would be a miracle dog and beat the cancer too since he was going on a year and a half after diagnosis. It is so hearbreaking and I know what you are going through. I send lots of hugs your way and I know that your baby Peanut is running happy.

Hugs,

Sheri and Angel Leo

Melanie,

My heart is still aching for your loss of Peanut… and I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's dog Winnie… but I'm glad that Peanut was there at the Rainbow Bridge, waiting to help Winnie come across… At least they are together… and one day… we will all see our babies again…

Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou…..ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!

Thank you all for your posts.

Peanut's been gone for 2 weeks as of today. I've been suffering from the worst insomnia this entire time. I am generally okay throughout the day, but as soon as I try to sleep, I am flooded with memories and images of Peanut. Of course, all my memories of her are happy. But the sadness of missing her is unbearable.
When I do sleep, I have nightmares that I'm trying to save Peanut from dangerous situations. At the last second, just before I get to her, the nightmare suddenly ends. This type of recurring nightmare also tormented me for a month or so after I lost both my Jake and my Waldo. I guess it's my mind's way of working it out, still trying to save her subconsciously.
I'm just waiting for the dream in which Peanut visits me peacefully. I know, then, my nightmares will stop.

Until then, Peanut.
I love you and miss you so damn much.

Best wishes for getting some rest, it is all part of the grief processing. Just thought I would share this dream I had about Jerry after we discovered his lung mets had metastsized.

Hi Melanie

Yes, I hope the nightmares pass and replaced by sweet dreams.

That was an interesting dream Jerry and the photo does not look photo-shopped in the least, hah! My mum had two of these kinds of dreams/nightmares the last few months when I had my SQ met. In both cases I was swimming but started to sink. Thank goodness for the handle on the life jacket she successfully got me back to the surface and then woke up.

Please add a picture of Peanut to our new tribute thread (Spirit tripawds: photo tribute) so we see and remember her whenever we look at that.

Melanie,

Sigh.  I wish there were words to comfort you.  If there were I would offer them to you (and to so many of us).  I hope the bad dreams stop soon and happy dreams take their place.
