awwww thanks gummie for your kind words. my thoughts are with you at this heartbreaking time and i can only hope that as the days go by you will find a bit more strength to carry on with life. In memory of all our loved and lost ones.

Bartok: So sorry to hear of your loss

dogz: Hi. wow.. memories flooding back now Kiara was a pomeranian. Thats her in my avatar. I went to bed one night and she went outside [to mess around and go potty], but she had been gone awhile and hubby was still up pottering around in the kitchen. he must have noticed that she hadn't come back in and when he went outside he found her laying near one of the small bushes in the yard. he brought her in and we didnt even have a chance to take her in to see the vet. by the time i was screaming for the car keys to take her to the vet she was taking her last breaths.. It was heartbreaking the swiftness with which she left. here one second and gone the next. No obvious signs of a bite, no frothing, nothing... she was just still on the floor and she had her eyes on me the whole time we wanted to get an autopsy done on her because i wanted to know why... why did she leave.. why weren't there any signs... why did she have to leave. I would have cut a limb free that night if it meant that she could have been saved. I asked about it when the vet opened the next morning.. they told me because rigour and mortis had set in well and truly, they wouldnt be able to give me an accurate answer. she was our 'only child'. have entertained the idea of getting another one recently but im just scared.. scared of what may happen and scared of loving and then losing all over again. we had her cremated and she holds court in our living room... perched on a table, beneath a huge pink frangipani painting and surrounded by her pictures and her favourate toy. Adding: http://forums.dogzonline.com.au/index.php?...topic=25853&hl= when she passed away i was beside myself... couldnt think... couldnt do anything but wish that i could relive the day all over again and maybe do something different.. i came onto DoL.. trying to seek comfort and i found it. The ppl here helped me so much.. so many kind hearted ppl who understood what i was going through. Thats my thread about her passing.

Gosh... here come the tears Little girl, its been 6 months and 2 days to the hour since you left me for the bridge. Not a day goes by that i dont think of you . You were only 10 months old :p . Kiara, little one i know you're still here.. i know you can feel the love i have for you still and im sure you can see my tears. I miss you so much and the pain still hasn't subsided. I miss your cheeky face and the way you could always, always make me smile. I know i have to let you go, set you free but a deeper part of me just cant bare to do that.. not yet at least. I love you and i know you knew this. I wish i could have had a bit more time with you and i cherish every single minute that we had together. Rest easy little one.. always and forever in my heart. Gone but never ever forgotten RIP My baby girl.. Love you.. always

Awww Rugerfly my thoughts are with you. In memory of your gorgeous Blaze Saane

haven: Thankyou for your kind words. I agree - its so hard to read anything in Rainbow Bridge without shedding a tear or feeling that lump in your throat. ;) I know for me - i will only dare coming in here when im at home and in the solitude of my little office. Where i can read, reminisce, cry and litter the floor in tear soaked tissues. My little girl left us 6 weeks ago tonight and it would have been her 1st birthday this Sunday. [Gawd - here come the tears...] I think the one thing that helped me immeasurably was this forum. People understood how i was feeling and shared their stories of loss with me and thats where i found the most comfort. After 6 long weeks the pain is still there and the tears - well they're always there. There were times when i would wake up in the middle of the night and just bawl... hug Kiara's little urn and cry all the while feeling like my heart was about to explode all over again. Sometimes the memories just spontaneously push themselves to the front of my head and i can remember so clearly the first second that i laid my eyes on her... the drive home from the breeders house when she was nestled in my husbands chest.. shivering a little because she must have been a little frightened... how i cried when i took her to the vet for her spay because i didnt want to leave her in a strange environment. ;) I guess thats the heartbreaking thing about loving an animal and a dog especially-because all they can do is give you unconditional love and loyalty and when you look back on your time together all you can remember is the good and never ever the bad. One things for sure - i love the stories in here and the memories people are good enough to share. Thankyou everyone for sharing and thankyou to every single one of the members here for being there for me through some of the most traumatic and darkest days of my life.

Kaye: My. You must have some wonderful memories of your Maya. RIP gorgeous one. ;) Your post made me cry a river of tears. The love you shared was beautiful.

Shelby: So sorry for your loss ;) Your avatar made me cry. What a beautiful boy.

RIP Jessica. :rolleyes: My thoughts are with you clover *hugs*

Hi Sue Just thought i would join with everyone else in saying that its fantastic news to hear about George getting back to his 'ole self again. Great news! :rolleyes:

Oh your post and your tribute to your little boy made me cry :rolleyes: . I know exactly how you feel - about the grief and the gaping hole left in our hearts when our furbabies make their journey to the bridge. I lost my little girl just this week and whilst the pain is still as poignant as the moment she passed on i will always always cherish the good times and the memories of my baby girl. jesomil - my heart goes out to you. RIP to your beautiful little angel.

Oh how sad and tragic. No words to offer you but lots of hugs. RIP Jake :rolleyes:

Margaret, What a beautiful boy he was. Treasure the memories and all the happy times. He will always be in your heart. :rolleyes:

Hi Tommy I dont know if i should give any advice because i have my own little issues with my little one, but im thinking that if you think his barking has probably gotten worse.. then its because of a lack of consistency. My little one is becoming a handful right now because of stuff that i let her get away with every now and again and because i would correct her in one situation and then let her do the exact same thing in another situation so now she thinks that barking all the time is fine ;) . I know now that doing that sends mixed messages and doesnt help you try to manage the problem. Maybe you could try to correct him each and every time he starts yapping and see if that alleviates the problem any? Obviously changes wont happen overnight and I know you've said that you dont agree with this method of training but if it was your only option you'd be prepared to see if it would work right? Good luck..

Brigantia, Pet Deli is an online pet store. They are the ONLY online store [that i know of] that stock EP. I know that in metro sydney there are only a few distributors of EP so pet deli is it for me for the time being.
