Pet Bereavement Support Group
The loss of a pet or animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a loved one. Whilst there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this community focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
Yesterday morning I took my brave warrior dog to the vet because he wasn't eating as much and as a teacup Yorkie, he didn't weigh much to begin with. After the exam, the vet said my sweet boy was at the end of his life and it as time to help him cross the Rainbow Bridge. Oliver was my heart dog, the kind of pet that you have a strong connection that can't be defined or explained. I called him Bow Wow Boy and even sang a song to him about being the best puppy in the world. I had him for only 11 years, not nearly enough time with this special boy. I could go on and on about what made him worthy of his song but it's only making me cry harder. I know I'll cry whenever I think of him so I guess I'll be crying until I'm gone. I'd rather cry than ever let time go by without thinking about him. Anyway, just needed to share with people who have been through this and understand the pain losing a special friend.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmonĀ

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....


Annette would say to build a memorial to him with some special toys or things he played with....hugs
Find somethings to do to memorialize your baby boy. I hope you find some comfort
Thank you for understanding, for sharing your stories at the cost of your own pain! Bless you all!!
