MelodysMum Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Sheltielover, I haven't stopped thinking about you and your Annie since you first wrote of your loss. I am so pleased to hear you have your girl back with you now. Hang on to those precious memories, and keep talking about your beautiful girl. It will keep her alive in your heart. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 it is a hard time when you have to pick their ashes up, I have 3 of my beloved Collies in their beautifully hand-crafted wooden boxes with plaques in the house and talk to all of them daily.

ChEeKy_AnGeL Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Oh Sheltielover I know what you are going through, my family are going through it too, we are waiting for our Britt to be bought back to us as well. It will be hard to see him again, and I know that we will all be upset all over again, but as WendyH says, it's the memories of our darlings that will keep us together, our memories of Britt will pull us through and keep our hearts warmed with him. The best thing is to always remember them. ChEeKy AnGeL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned by Shelties Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hi ChEeKy AnGeL, did you have your loving friend cremated? if so who done this for you?? Im slowly getting my shit together, have decided to take Annie with me to work every day, people may think it's stupid but hey at least then I can have a chat to her bout my day and get things of my chest and know she understands in a strange way.. It's two weeks tomorrow since I made that decision and sometimes I bloody regret the whole surgery for epilepsy, then I will still have her... and not writing in the forum.. Anyway take care and my heart goes out to you and your family. I remember everything bout her even down to her smell can never forget that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malleerr Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Sheltielover You poor thing - i have just read your posts. Don't feel crazy or stupid for taking Annie around with you. I know how hard it is to do the dreaded pick up, but to have them home again with you is so comforting, although you never stop missing them having them close is something i suppose. When we lost our first dog Niki (4 years ago) people thought we were silly having her cremated and bringing her home, but it help us so much through the process especially when they have past in traumatic circumstances. Four years on we now have two wooden boxes holding our precious departed furbabies (dog & cat) and still speak to them all the time. Hang in there the pain does get better - although i know how hard it is to look forward. Know and take comfort in the fact that Annie knows all that you did for her was because you loved her and cared for her so much. Sending hugs your way.

KitKat Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I know how you feel...i was able to collect my Harm yesterday and i feel 'more comfortable' now that i have him back with me. No one can say how you are feeling/doing is 'wrong', 'silly' or any such thing...each person is different and each person grieves differently..do what you feel you need to do. If carrying her with you makes your soul feel easier then do it. My thoughts are with you, and know your darling girl is still with you and will stay in your heart forever. Pets in Peace also looked after my sweet boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriment Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I can sympathise ;) big :D to you sheltielover and anyone else going through this same thing. I have Roxy in a velvet pouch inside a hand crafted, lacquered wooden box on the bookshelf in our entrance hall. She only moved there a little while ago, before then she was in our bedroom. When we moved house, Roxy was the last thing to leave. I left her up on the shelf where she used to reside in our old place... so she could watch over proceedings of the move and only when we closed the door behind us for the last time did she ride on my lap in the car up to the new house . When I had to have a pup from my first litter PTS at 4 wks of age, I had her ashes come home in a velvet pouch and because she was so young, and because Roxy never got to have any babies of her own, I put "Bella" in the same box with Roxy, so now they have each other for company. Yep it all sounds crazy. But only to those who haven't been there ;) RIP all our beautiful babies :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Chick Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 It's so nice to hear that i'm not the only crazy person. I now have 4 rosewood boxes in my lounge room. The first one was done in 1992 and has moved to 3 differant houses with us, and the last one was done two weeks before christmas. All of you other people are so much braver than me though, A good friend of mine is a vet nurse at my clinic, so she comes and picks my babies up for me to take back to work with her, and she holds their paw for me as they "go to sleep", otherwise I just keep getting them "repaired", because I just can't let go of my babies. I still cry over each and every baby in my lounge room, when the need arises eg. aniversaries, birthdays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I know how good it feels to have them back where they belong. My Princess rests beside my bed , just as she did when she was alive. It doesn't take away the pain but it's a comfort to have them back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
