I Remember You - Today
 

I thought I'd post this thread for those of us that care to, when the spirit moves us, to remember in brief or in full those beloved we have lost over the years. I know that since I have been a member I have lost two of my furry friends, and of course I at the time posted RIP threads.

This is a thread hopefully that many can if they so desire to say Today I Remember again you. A place to put our thoughts and our memories out here in this special place.

Today I remember Renny: My earliest memories are of dogs, Renny was actually our neighbours dog, who was my constant play companion. His owner let him run free most of the time, and he adopted my home and most especially me. Renny would walk me to school and back again. He would walk me to the local store and back again. He accompanied me to the small outdoor skating rink. He played ball with me. And onetime he saved me from a GSD attack. He was very independent a small stout dog of unknown origins. Renny came home to our house to die. He died in my lap when I was about 8 years old....
I remember you Renny. Your love of life, your tail wags, and how you could always find me anywhere. You taught me to love a dog with a big attitude, to always stand your ground, and to be kind and protective of those weaker than you. God Bless you Renny.

That's very sweet, gemy. All little creatures leave a little paw print on our hearts and I'm sure he's helped make you a wonderful furparent now. Renny definitely knew who loved him most when it was his time. :)

Aww so sweet to remember Renny.

Oh what a great story and tribute!

I remember Puddin' my first Yorkie, who at 12 years old stayed right beside my ill father so my father never felt alone and always kept his hand lightly on Pudin'. They both died the same day 12 hours apart, were cremated and buried together. It was hard to lose my two best buddies at the same time but I always knew they were together!

Gosh, I have so many pets thought the years that it have loved and lost. I remember Buck, the sweet baby boy Beagle I bottle fed from day one. I remember his parents sweet Sugar and Yogi. I remember Shadow my Great Pyrenees who was so protective of us. I got you from the Humane Society and you were the best dog ever. I miss you so much. I remember you sweet Snuggles. You were the little kitten that showed up at my door one day. I remember telling DH that I promised to find you a home. Well I did, with us. 18 years later you went to Rainbow Bridge. I loved each and every one of you and I hope that you all are having a blast at Rainbow bridge.

Thanks for putting this post up . . .

Today I remember you Brownie aka Moo Moo . . . .he was a 13 lb a feral Tiger cat that my DBF broke. He turned into a indoor/outdoor kitty. He would go out at night even if it snowed. He decided to show me every kill when I was outside and proceed to eat them in front of me. All the neighbors knew him. He would kill the Easter bunny each week of Easter.

That crazy cat would constantly roll around in the street. But he was my mush kitty. I miss you biting my head when you wanted my attention. Just giving me love and I you. We had to put him down because of cancer in his ear. I miss you everyday. I know your with me. Xoxoxo

A great remembrance of Renny.It is nice to hear of what our little friends have done for us in life.Today I think of all the things my Keally has done for me in life.Bless you for sharing your story and Happy Easter.Susan

I made a promise to Spencer that I would never forget him. He is buried in my rose garden with a stone engraved with one simple word..."Remember". Every night, before I go to bed, I tell him "good night doodle, I love you and I miss you so much". Doodle was his nick name...

Today I remember you Buster. You brought so much joy into our lives as a foster and will never be forgotten. See you again someday at the Bridge.

Awh that is so heart touching. Their memories come upon us at different times and in different ways, and those memories are their living legacy to us.

Denny helped shape a little girl with a huge capacity to love. You have lived up to what Renny taught you years ago. You are so devoted to your pups and anyone you love, and you give of yourself so freely. Our pups teach us so much about love, how to live in the moment, and to love unconditionally. Thank you for starting this thread. I remember my loved ones every day, and I'm so grateful that my love for them has brought me closer to special people like you.

Meika, not a day goes by that I don't miss you, look for you, expect you to monitor my cooking in hopes of a treat. Every Sunday afternoon I think of that awful day just 6 weeks ago that you were taken so quickly. You are always in my heart.

I *LOVE* this thread...thank you, Gail :love:.

I remember Boots, my first love in an animal - he was a very special cat I had as a kid. He used to let me give him gymnastic lessons. He was SO unique and special. I love you, kiddo.

I remember Sedgwick...my heart aches for him even today. I'm so sorry you had such a trying life...you never had it easy, my little hero. I love you so much, my dear little brave fella.

I remember Einstein Friday Fitzgerald - my beautiful HUGE hearted spirit-filled gorgeous girl...you are truly one of the loves of my life. My life was blessed bc of you, my darling precious girl. I miss you so much! You gave me SO much love, you have no idea.

:love::love::love:

Thank you...I miss my doodle dog. My first Yorkie...the reason I got another. I can't explain the love I have for him...he meant the world to me .

Words are never adequate to describe a love so strongly felt. Although it always hurts after losing ones loved so dearly, I'm so glad that the loving remembrance and bond lasts forever. I have such an overwhelming love for all of my babies, and my memories bring me such joy.

I am always reminded of the famous quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery when I think of my forever loves. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Our dogs teach us so much about unconditional and everlasting love.

Winston and Spencer are very lucky to be loved by you.

I absolutely love that quote...it's all within. I am lucky to be loved by them as well...

Thanks for remembering
 

Rocky & Bullwinkle...... Loved them soo much. Hurts like heck to this day... I have tears in my eyes as I write... I lost them too soon.... Rocky was 15 years, I was trying to be ready to let him go....his 1 1/2 tumor on his front leg reuptured and my choice was made for me....held him the whole time... God it feels likes yesterday..12/05/2013

Bullwinkle a.k.a. Bully died of a broken heart... We lost him 3 WEEKS later...12/31/2013.... My husband held him till he ran to find Rocky at Rainbow Bridge.. Bless them for filling my life with love

My biggest struggle is getting another one.... I would adopt, or a puppy.....but could my heart handle the end again. That is what I struggle with the most...

I had 2 Pandora Beads made with ash from both of my fur babies and wear them daily to have them with me.
My son got a blanket made with Rockys pix on it and a pillow with Bully's pix on it, the card attached read, " so you can snuggle with them whenever you want"!!
Lord knows I do!

Thanks for letting me spill my heart

Any answers!? Or help with that?

I remember my dear Max , he was my first Yorkie who sadly passed at 11 years old , I loved you dearly and always will.

Thank You
 

Thank You juliealfiesmum, for posting that wonderful wording on a dogs last will....I really took that to heart and showed my husband and he too agreed. We shall see where the hearts will go.... Thanks for putting that in my heart...

I'm glad that you find it helpful, hope that you find a little one to love.

I will always love and miss my sweet, beautiful little "roses," who were unique in all the world because we loved them so dearly. Ashley, Kiwi, Gracie, and Jolie have left us with such special memories that bring us such joy. Their love will forever be felt in our hearts, and their impact on our lives is everlasting.

Because of Ashley and her precious sisters, I found YorkieTalk, and we found our little doll, Katie. We are now celebrating two very special years with our very special little girl. We adore Katie like her sisters before her, and she has brought such love, laughter, and life to us. We are just so blessed to have found her.

Thank you, sweet little ones. You made us so happy, and we will never forget all of the beautiful ways you touched our hearts and made our lives so much brighter. We will always love and remember you.

Thank you for this thread, it is 6 years today that I lost my darling Yorkie.

Oh how I loved that little one and she me. We were like two peas in a pod and just thinking of that last day of hers brings tears to my eyes.

After this long you'd think I'd be over it but I know now, I never will be however, am learning to live with it and think of how lucky I was all those years.

Funny how an animal with four legs can bring someone with two such joy.

RIP always Crystal:aimeeyork Heaven isn't heaven unless you are there.

Oh, Joan, I am so very sorry. I know how much it hurts. Thursday is was four years that we lost Ashley, and her sisters a few years before her, and I miss them so much. I know it's more difficult for you, because I remember the loneliness and great feeling of loss before Katie joined our lives and helped to heal or hearts.

It would have been a far greater loss not to have had our babies love. The memories of them helps to keep them alive, and their love remains forever in our hearts.

I really care, and I hope today can be a celebration of your beautiful Crystal's life. She was very special.

Oh Lisa, I am so sorry, I remember what it was like at four years, the pain was immense but today I am really at peace. I do hope you have that to look forward to next year or soon after. Bless You.

Joan, I too remember that day, and how sad we all were at Crystal's loss. I was very new to YT and so impressed with the outpouring of love and support everyone had for you.

Yesterday, June 9th was only 3 months since I lost Meika. Some days I feel ok, then there are those days that I sink into the dark hole like it happened yesterday. Grieving is a very long journey I think, and the good memories are all that make it even bearable.

Karma - Gone too soon
 

I remember you beautifull gentleman that you were. That gorgeous tail swishing so evocative of your feelings. I remember picking you up as a kitten 3months old. So brave, so inquisitive. How you pounced and played with your toys. How you travelled everywhere with me in your crate.

And you grew up to be a gorgeous Maine Coone - how you put up with and even loved all the young puppies that came into your life. You were so gentle with them. And sometimes you would tease the young puppies, by hanging off one of your cat towers and dangling a paw over a nose or a face:)

I remember so clearly you jumping from your tower onto my bed. Thump it is time Moms to get up and feed me!

Oh and the sounds you would make. The chirps and peeps like the birds we would listen to in the early morning.

I do hope that on your Rainbow bridge you have some Blackies to play with, Zoey is there.

I miss you my gentle cat and will always remember you.

I remember you Dudley
 

and all the love you and I shared. I miss you so much and hope you are having a wonderful time with your people daddy. I am glad that your pain and sickness is over and now you can run freely now and play in the grass that you so loved. Have fun sweet boy and I will see you and Dad before too long. I love you both.

I have been thinking about you and Karma a lot. The anniversary dates are so very difficult. My heart weeps for you. I remember your horror when he need to go the the cardiologist, when you thought he was lost, when you first saw his wound, and then when you discovered it was cancer. Most of all, I remember the love you will always feel for one who was loved so dearly. It is a love so palpable and beautiful. When you would tell me stories about Karma, I could feel your love and deep commitment to him, like all of your furry loved ones, and I grew to love him, too. I love your stories about how Karma taught Magic to stalk and Razzle to leap. He was a great brother and such a gorgeous, special cat. I remember Karma today, too, and his family, who loved him deeply.
