Hugs and prayers to everyone who is grieving.

I am so sorry to hear this...how is Chloe doing? Hugs to you both.

Thank you. Chloe, thankfully, is doing quite well. After we got back from the emergency vet, where two of the pups passed away, Chloe was running around and carrying on as she looked for them. That continued for a few days. She even adopted my black Nike sneaker to cuddle up to for a small amount of time. Now, she is back to her girlish figure, and running and playing as usual. She hasnt completely gotten used to her dry food (she was extremely picky when she was pregnant and I was making chicken, etc, for her every day). Other than that she seems okay. Thank you for asking!

I'm glad to hear she is doing well. My Prissie had a miscarriage last October, it took her a while to get back to normal. She kinda claimed my bed as her own and if any of my other babies jumped up there she would growl at them and run them off.

Hugs to you and Chloe.

I lost my sweet little Lilly last night. I had only had her for three weeks, I knew that she had major helath problems when I brought her home. She had a severe heart murmur and luxatting patellas in both back legs. What none of knew was that her heart was enlarging. I had her to our vet once a week and last night she started having trouble breathing. I rushed her to our vet and he did everyhting he could. But her little heart had enlarged so much just in the past few days since her last visit, that it actually collapsed the trachea. Doc said it was just too sever and she was too ill to save her.

My heart is broken. I can't stop crying and I have no idea what to do with myself. I came online to see what others may have experienced and here was your poem. Thank you again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lilly will be waiting at Rainbow bridge for you. You did everything you could for her and I'm sure in her short time here she knew she was loved and cherished.

Thank you all so much for sharing your beautiful poems and sentiments. It helps knowing that there are others out there who understand the pain of losing "just a dog". My little Lilly was only with us for three weeks before she passed but I couldn't have loved her more! She was so fragile and so very precious. We loved her so much.

Blessings to all of you for sharing your hearts not only with our blessed little animal babies, but with us too.

Thank you so much for the poem you posted. I lost my little yorkie 4 nights ago and he is all I can think about. I keep searching and reading different post hoping to find something to make me feel better. I lost my little Jag suddenly and unexpectedly. He was 9 years old and I'm not sure if he had a heart attack or what it was. He just simply fell off the couch. I keep searching to see if anyone else has had this experience. My heart is broken. Thank you again for posting your poem.

It is a pleasure. I, and the others who have added their poems, I'm sure, want to do anything we can to comfort the broken hearts of those who, like you, have lost their precious pets. I know that terrible heartache and I can really sympathize with you. I am sending you a very big hug and lots of love. I just wish I had words that would heal your pain, but I can only send you my sympathy and understanding. Although he died so suddenly, at least he died quickly and did not suffer. This is one blessing you can hold on to. All I can tell you,Sweetie, is that this terribly pain in your heart will ease, but while the pain is still so great, please come to us for comfort when you need it. Sometimes talking about him helps you to deal with your grief. We. especially those who have lost dear pets. are only too willing to offer you what comfort we can. I will pray for you.
with love and hugs
