Kellye, Braden and all humans who were touched by Rosie....I'm just so sorry. I know there are no words. And I know its gets harder before it gets better. Everyone here will tell you that the grief hits you out of the blue like a ton of bricks, even years later.
You jave been through so much.
The intensity of this journey, the routine of caring for our tripawds...nothing else compares. The void seems unbearable. I'm glad you have Braden and he has you. I'm glad your daughter has you both and you jave her. And you jave us. We understand like no others can.
We also understand the Rosie did, indeed, send you her beautiful rainbow! No doubt whatsoever! We also know that the thousands and thousands of happy memories that you and Rosie shared will, slowly but surely, help push the sadness further away.
You can bet she is playing with her chuck-it game non-stop up at the Bridge! She probably only rests just long enough to eat ice cream and steak!! And she's also bragging about having THE BEST TIME EVER with you!! She would not have traded those spectacular times for anything!!
When you can, we would love to hear more about that precious Rosie...with pictures of course.
We feel in love with that strong and determined girl with the happy smile from day one. Her journey has touched us all and she will mever ve forfotten here!! 🙂
Wrapping you up in our love and hugs
Sally and My Chunky Spiritual Being Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie
PS...the Rainbow was a very strong message from Rosie letting you know her energy will always be with you a d that she is thriving up at the Bridge. Just wondering if she has sent you any other messages. Do you think Braden jas felt her presence yet?
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Hi all! I think of you daily, whenever I think of Miss Rosebud. I thought I could write more tonight, and try to tell her story. I just can't do it yet. It's too raw and painful.
But-I didn't want y'all to think I left the group. I promise when I can I will tell Rosie's story and share lots of wonderful pics.
Just know that you all have my love and respect. Thanks for everything. ❤🐕❤
So glad you connected. It's sooo important to stay close to your family here. We understand how hard this is...and will continue to be...for quite awhile.
We all have been holding you in our heart.
Rosie brought you here to us. And you and she brought lots of smiles to us. You belong here and we hope you realize that.
I know when my Happy Hannah transitioned, I felt like I also would lose all the wonderful friendships I had made here. I didn't see how I could "stay" where I no longer belonged without my Happy Hannah. She brought me here just like your Rosie brought you here. No, you could t "leave the group" even if you tried! We wouldn't let you! You mean too much to us! 🙂
Do you feel our sweet Rosie has reconnected with you any.ore since she sent you the beautiful rainbow?? Any .ore signs, or "feelings", dreams, etc.
Lots and lots of love and hugs to help comfort you

It's funny, I really only thought of you yesterday (my yesterday, that is, when yours was still a few hours away) and I wondered how you were doing and if we would hear from you again. I was hoping that we would.
Rosie's story is one of the ones that made me cry so much. Just know that probably all of us have shed a few tears on Rosie's behalf -and yours. I understand if it's hard to come back here, I don't know if I could, but we would be happy to hear from you if you feel like you can.
Much love from

Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
Hello, I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss. Rosie was loved very much, so much that you sacrificed your heart for her well being. That makes you an amazing, loving, caring mommy. In your darkest hours, just remember those beautiful moments you shared and how happy you were, remember the goofy times that can give you a giggle. She gave you those memories, cherish them and bring them out when you are missing her.
We all await patiently for you to be ready to share Rosie's story, its definitely worth waiting.

So sorry to hear this. Maybe a story about my son's take on this will bring a bit of peace.Daniel was in 3rd grade when our Golden girl was nearing the bridge. I told the boys it was time. Daniel came to me after dinner and told me he didn't want us to take her to the vet to die. I told him that if we could fix her, we would, but that no amount of money or medicine could do that. And if we didn't take her in, she might die all alone while we were at work and school. A month or so later, after our girl had crossed, we were at a school Xmas function and there was artwork on the wall for "What peace means to me..." Almost all of the artwork was focused on world peace and no war and no guns. And there was Daniel's artwork -- a very detailed picture of the vet's office, with our Golden girl on the table, our whole family standing there, along with the vet -- complete with a HUGE needle in her hand. And he wrote "Peace means taking care of our animals so that they aren't scared and alone."
I made a copy of the artwork and shared with the vet. When we were at the same point with Milo this past October, she gave a copy back to me. Making that decision is so hard, but my son had it right all those years ago, and it was nice to be reminded this time around, too.
Peace,
Jenifer & Milo
