It makes you reflect on life.
We are all here for such a short time.
It makes me think as I go about my day, I need to be more like my puppy, kind and forgiving. Isn't that something we love about our dogs? They just love us unconditionally.
I know it sounds corny, but that cashier who is so slow and won't even look at you, she might have just lost her mother to cancer.
The guy who cut you off in traffic, he might be rushing to get his dog to the emergency animal hospital.
That neighbor who is so sloppy with trash and weeds might be going through a very difficult divorce and is having a hard time just getting through each day.
You can really brighten someone's day by just a smile and a kind word or two.
Take good care of yourselves, and those around you.

Thank you so much for posting this. Life is so short and we waste some of it with negative feelings and actions. We all should be like our babies, kind, trusty, loyal and lovable.

you know ....you are so right - so much is trivial when you stop and think about it -

THANK you for that great post about going thru our day - It opened my eyes too - and it IS something to try to do even though we tend to forget....Very nice post Sunshine - you are like your name says-

Yes, welcome and thank you, Sunshine!! I'm sure everyone is still stunned as I certainly am. My heart is just broken for these babies and their families! Your attitude reminds me so much of my daughter, Amanda, the absolute "Light of My Life"! Thank you so much for your post!

All dogs (animals) go to Heaven, I plan on going also..that is the only way I can deal with the loss of the innocent ones.

It's just too sad of a day, to know that there was no reason for these babies being taken so soon, but it is out of our hands and in His. I agree with Pat, that one day I will see all my babies in heaven and we'll all get together and start up where we left off Oh great, I'm crying again...

Yes i think we all feel this way today, its hard to concentrate and difficult to read other posts, who would ever expect this to happen... its tragic!
i feel terrible for the mom's and dad's they must be so lost without them

I hope they know that we are here for them all, i just wish i could do more!!

I couldn't agree with you more. most of the things that would make me fall over laughing just aren't funny today. i feel so badly for all of these families. my heart goes out to them. i'm sure what villette did will help to hear a small piece of their broken hearts....my prayers are with you.

[sunshine22]

I'm still crying, too!
I have to stop reading these posts and do my work but it's hard.

We send our love to all who have said goodbye to their sweet babies.......we are so sad for each of you.

God bless,

Max and Maggie's Mom
