Cry My beloved Xena is in Heaven

2 months ago today - May 16th - I had to let go of my little baby girl Xena. She was 12 years old and had had Cushings disease for 4 years - my terrific Vet extended her life but, in the end, diabetes and acute pancreatitis damaged her kidneys to where they could not function. She was my first dog and the best decision I ever made in my life. I have a Remembrance Corner for her in my den with her ashes and pictures. She gave me 12 years of heaven and unbridled joy. I miss her terribly.

So very sorry for your loss! You have precious memories of her which will help.
Words can't express your loss nor the right sympathy from me to comfort you. Hugs from Buddybear and I.

I am so sorry for your loss.....we have these precious little wonderful gifts from God that mean so much to us....then we have to endure loosing them. I just lost one of my precious little girls who was also 12 years old, just a day ago......this is such a horrible sense of loss we endure. Please know you are surrounded by friends and members here that are going thru what you are experiencing......we honestly empathize with you and feel the loss you are feeling. I wish there was something I could say that would erase the pain you are suffering thru now.....I can not even help myself right now....just know you are not alone in your suffering.

My deepest condolences on Xena's passing. Like you said, she gave 12 years of adoration and love. Hopefully that can, in some way, help to ease the pain you are going through.

When I lost my little girl, Ashley, close to her seventeenth birthday, five years ago I found the following passage helpful. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Xenia will forever remain in your heart.

On Losing a Dog – Phenomena: Only Human

Living Love
If you ever love an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember...

The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your young new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked numerous opinions of many vets, or done long research in finding a breeder. Or, perhaps in a fleeting moment, you may have just chosen that silly looking mutt in a shelter--simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore, and claim its special place in your hall or front room--and when you feel it brush against you for the first time--it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through the many years to come.

The second day will occur eight or nine or ten years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your long-time friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you once saw energy. And you will see sleep where you once saw activity. So you will begin to adjust your friend's diet--and you may add a pill or two to her food. And you may feel a growing fear deep within yourself, which bodes of a coming emptiness. And you will feel this uneasy feeling, on and off, until the third day finally arrives.

And on this day--if your friend and God have not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own--on behalf of your lifelong friend, and with the guidance of your own deepest Spirit. But whichever way your friend eventually leaves you---you will feel as alone as a single star in the dark night. If you are wise, you will let the tears flow as freely and as often as they must. And if you are typical, you will find that not many in your circle of family or friends will be able to understand your grief, or comfort you. But if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through the many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul--a bit smaller in size than your own---seems to walk with you, at times, during the lonely days to come. And at moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, you may feel something brush against your leg--very very lightly. And looking down at the place where your dear, perhaps dearest, friend used to lay---you will remember those three significant days. The memory will most likely be painful, and leave an ache in your heart---As time passes the ache will come and go as it has a life of its own. You will both reject it and embrace it, and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.

But there will be, I assure you, a fourth day when---along with the memory of your pet---and piercing through the heaviness in your heart---there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with each animal we have loved, and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love---like the heavenly scent of a rose that remains after the petals have wilted, this love will remain and grow--and be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It is the legacy our pets leave us when they go. And it is a gift we may keep with us as long as we live. It is a love which is ours alone. And until we ourselves leave, perhaps to join our beloved pets--it is a love that we will always possess.

I'm so saddened to hear of your loss. You give of yourself and love your babies so completely that the heartbreak of losing them is so difficult to cope with. We are left knowing our lives are better because of the love we shared with our little ones. Please know that I care and share in your loss.

Lisa that was a beautiful message. So true it is a living love that stays in our hearts. Love never fails it is constant. I thank the Lord for the sweet memories we can hold onto when our precious fur friends leave us. Someday we too will pass and I believe heaven is filled with beauty and our friends with fur will be there waiting. My mansion will need a doggie door! Oh the goodness of the Lord. He knows our needs He knows when a sparrow falls and He has our dogs in His care.
