lexi, this seems so unfair. we are really sorry to hear of daisy's passing. our thoughts are with you - love never ends.
gayle & charon
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
My heart breaks for you at this difficult time. Daisy was very fortunate to have you in her life, and you did your best to keep her comfortable and she knew she was so dearly loved and always will be. My sincerest thoughts are with you and your family.
She will meet Titus who crossed the bridge a day before her, they will be happy with all the other angel doggies and running free again.
I know what you are going through right now, and we will get through this grieving until our hearts are filled with happy memories of our beloved dogs. Charon is right, love never ends. Stay strong and take care.
Big hugs across the ocean,
Carol

OSA in left hind leg–30 August 2008. Ampuversary–4 October 2008.
Titus earned his wings on 15th July 2010.
He is dearly missed and our love lives on.
Your comments have meant so much to me--thanks for caring and sharing!
Yesterday was actually somewhat easier than today has been. Yesterday there was some relief that we had finally done what we needed to do; it was difficult, but we did it out of love for our girl. Today, we feel her absence EVERYWHERE. I find myself wondering if her spirit is still around, as I've heard that pets will stick around for awhile to make sure their humans are OK. I can see her face looking up at me from her favorite spot. I can feel her soft fur with my bare feet. I imagine those are just my memories, but still I wonder and I cry for her.
We decided to go to our cabin, partly to go to a place that is peaceful and partly to deal now with the feelings of loss that were sure to occur there. This is where she went swimming just a week ago last Thursday. I counted 5 bones scattered throughout the place and on the deck. We packed up her various beds, dishes, and toys with the understanding that we will have another yellow lab sometime, sometime. But for now I allow myself to grieve as much as I need to, like when I'm writing this.
Daisy, 12 years young, had left forelimb amp on 5/19/2010 due to osteosarcoma. She left her body behind and joined the other spirit tripawds on 7/16/2010.
So grateful for each day with her!
Lexi (Daisy's momma)
Trust me, we stick around.
A few days after I earned my wings, my pawrents went on a long hike. They were so sad. So I barked for them, and they heard me. I made sure there was nobody else around so they knew it was me.
The tears are good for you, and some day they will stop. For now, you can write all you want here, we'll listen.

"Going Dog" def: living every day in the moment
"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 am so sorry to read Daisy lost her battle. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
