Anyone Remember "Flossie"? End of the Road Here! - Page 6 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Kerri · 03-07-2006, 04:37 PM

Flossie was a pure ANGEL in my eyes. Having her made me feel like a part of my Mother was still here. Letting go makes that much worse for me. My other two yorkies, Jasmine and Jake, are very special to me but Flossie had a special place in my heart.

My son just asked my husband earlier... "Daddy, do you know where Flossie is?...She is in Doggie Heaven where she will feel much better now". That stopped my tears for some reason...at least temporarily. He is exactly right and that is the story I told him this morning when I thought I was going to be strong when we both had tears streaming down our faces.

I keep checking to see who has posted back. I am better at typing my feelings rather than saying them in person.

You know we have lost 3 of our furbabies since September and when ever we go out to eat and the kids get Balloons when we get home we always look up to the sky and say here you go Buddy,Bear and Shadow we love you. And that makes it easier for me to deal with it and when it rains I tell the girls that it our pups thinking of us. So sorry for your loss hope that helps....

{{{{{{{Keri}}}}}}}, Yes, it is so hard, especially since Flossie also kept memories of your mom close by. It might help just a little to know how happy your mom would be for your love and care of Flossie and she would not want her precious dog to suffer. Now they're both happy and together again.

Have you buried her yet? Maybe having a little graveside "service" with your family would help some?

My husband buried her this afternoon but I wasn't there. He is planning on making her a headstone by this weekend. I need some closure but not this soon. I disposed of the pillows and towel that she has slept on the past week. They were in rough shape from the smell. Everytime I go in my laundry room, I still look for her and make sure I don't step on her because she couldn't hear or see.
I'm sure she is giving me a big thank you right now but I have to get through these next hard few days.
She cried all morning and kept trying to poop. That is the last I remember of her. When I petted her and loved on her this morning, she was terrified and did not want me touching her. I should feel relieved to know she is much better off and I do to some extent. I just MISS HER!!!

Of course you miss her - but you miss her as she was before these last few days. You will always carry her memory in your heart and you can visit these memories any time by just closing your eyes and remembering the wonderful, healthy Flossie. Time will help - you are such a good mom to help relieve her pain and suffering. I am sending >>>> HUGS <<<<

Today was a better day for me. I only slept about three hours last night off on and on but I woke up with a different attitude. The guilt had finally left me. I realized that Flossie was no longer suffering. I prayed last night that I would finally see the reality in the whole decision and I think I finally have. Of course I still miss her but what pets do you actually get to spend 18 years with? I was totally blessed with her presence so long.
I still tend to look around for her just out of habit I guess. She will forever be in my heart. I remember the suffering times but I'm trying to just remember her in her good times.

God bless you miss Flossie! May you rest in peace sweet Angel!

My heart goes out to you, I know what it's like to lose a pet. I know that there is nothing I can say to ease your pain but i just wanted you to know that if you need to talk i'm here..

I end up in tears whenever I read this thread about Flossie. You are right...she's no longer suffering, but it is so hard to get through the grief. I have been through this before and my heart goes out to you because it just hurts so bad. Best wishes to you and yours and Flossie shall remain forever in your heart! *HUGGGGGGGGS*
