Georgina, thank you so very much for posting this thread for me.

Thank you, all, so very, very much for all of your love, support and wonderful words of sympathy.

Rich and I loved Sydney so deeply. She was our child. And our hearts feel like they are broken into a million pieces.

Georgina, Patti, Teri, than you for being there through it all with me. I don't know how I would have made it without the three of you, staying in touch with me.

Each of you was my rock.

You'll never know how much you helped me, talking to me all weekend.

Sydney, my darling girl, I can still feel you, here with me.

Daddy and I loved you more than life, itself, because you filled our lives with such happiness! Every single day, you made us happy.

We were so blessed to have you for nearly 15 years.

Rest in Peace, Sydney, my precious, baby girl

Someday, we will be together again.

Oh, no. Rest In Peace, little Sydney. I think I can tell in some small way how very much you will always be loved and missed. This world is a much sadder place every day a beloved companion goes home. I cannot help but believe that Heaven is where the Rainbow Bridge resides and one day.......oh, one day.............

Jodi-thank you & God bless you. Somehow you always know the right thing to say, to do......

Yesterday, after we let Sydney go, we went to our church. We lit a candle for her at the Altar of St. Francis for Sydney.

Then, Rich went to the office in the Rectory and asked Father John, our Pastor and very dear friend, if he would come & anoint me, because I have been out of church for over a week with a terrible sinus infection and ear infection. Normally, we are there every morning.

Father came immediately and took me in his arms and hugged me.
He asked me how I was holding up.

Then, he said, he wanted to give us both Communion, before he anointed me. He took us to the Altar and celebrated a short mass, and he said, "I don't know if this has ever been done in the church, but, "The Mass Intention is for Sydney", and after mass, he anointed both, Rich & I.

Receiving Our Lord, brought us both, peace.

When I went in to the Sacristy this morning, to begin my pre-mass duties, Father John said, "Let's just sit down and chat awhile", and we all sat and talked about Sydney.

He knew her very well, because he visits at our house, and when we go to the IN Dunes to camp, he comes out and spends a day, and he always took Sydney for a walk with Rich and Kia.

We are going to Chicago with him on Thursday after mass. He said it will take our mind off of the pain for a little while.

We are so blessed to have our YT family & our church family.

Hugs,
Sheila

Thank you. I believe, that our Father in Heaven who created our precious little dogs, also has a special place for them, and we will see them again.

He created dogs to be our companions, and oh,what a wonderful gift He gave us!

[Patti]

Oh Sheila how wonderful of Father John. I am thinking of you all the time and will be here for you anytime. Sydney was truly special and loved so much. Hugs and prayers.

[lisaly]

Father John sounds like he is a very special man, and I'm so happy about his mass. I understand how great your love and loss is, and it hurts me to hear the pain you are in. I hope your health improves and that you feel comfort from your faith and the love of others. I will say a special prayer for you and Sydney.

We are so sorry for your loss.

i am very sorry to hear of the loss of sydney, and clarissa. it really is so hard to lose one of these little precious babies. my little nika passed away this past august and i still find it hard to deal with every day. losing her has broken my heart. our love for them will never die and we will always have those precious memories forever. i am so fortunate that we touched each others lives and hearts in the short time we had together. she changed my life for the better and i feel her love and presence with me always and i know that i always will. we will not ever forget how special they were to us. i have nika's furmother zowi and i adopted a puppy last october. i talk to them about nika all the time. i don't know what i would do without them!!! zowi had a very hard time dealing with the loss also. i have also found great comfort and support on this site from wonderful people sharing their stories. i'm glad you have also had friends here to offer you support, it helps so much. i know for sure our little angels are keeping each other in good company until we are together again. this is also comforting. again, i am so sorry to hear of this loss. i see her birthday was 4/17, my little angel nika's birthday was 4/16. i will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and would like to send you a hug!

I've read everyone's wonderful words of support and comfort and sympathy.

There are no words to express, how you have made me feel.

Thank you, each and every one of you, for understanding this horrendus loss we have experienced.

Today, I feel as though I am walking around in a fog. People's voices seem so very far away.

Sydney's 15th birthday was almost here, but I guess, God wanted her to celebrate it with Him, in Heaven.

We were really looking forward to camping soon-but now, we have no enthusiasm for the idea at all-it's somethig we did with the girls and Sydney loved it!

We had thought we might have at least one more season with her.

Sheila,

I am so very sorry to hear of Sydney's passing. My thoughts are with you. Sending hugs.
