Don't force it. Who says you have to get rid of things according to a time table. You'll do it when the time is right for you.

But I'll warn you. If you don't do it fast enough you'll wind up with another one.

Nobody has even tried to tell me to get rid of anything, they would not dare to!!!

The only thing i got rid of, was all her meds. I still have her food and treats. I will save the toys she always played with along with her leash and collar!!!

I find it very hard to get rid of their collars. Eventually I started to bury the collar with the ashes. But with one of my fur-kids I could hardly bring myself to bury her ashes, even though we have a special place in the yard.

It all takes time. You had many years to love Trix, so of course the hurt stays with you for a long time. I know hearing that doesn't help much. But you will feel better again, even though it may feel like that will never happen.

I've been thinking about you too.

I know about the water bowl, i just emptied the water yesterday. That was hard!!! but have left both her water and food bowls in the same place and don't think i can put those away just yet. Her collar and leash will be saved, they are on the shelf as well as her rope that we played with and a special something that someone from here made for me. Its a key chain that has "I (a heart shape) Trix", and a ball she always played with.

Just wanted to say hi, thinking about you guys and your puppies...

I have a shelf with some of Trix's stuff on it, now i am waiting for her ashes to complete it.

Take your time with that... we still have Seamus's collar on the little lab statue in the foyer. And his ashes on the whatchamacallit that the TV is on, since he liked the living room.

Is someone going to be with you when you get the ashes? I found that difficult. My husband is not at all a crier, but when we got that little bag and little box, it was hard to think that was all that was left of such a big heart and bigger personality. We both cried at that.

Plus, that just seems so final. I hope you're not alone.

:(

(((hug)))

Have not even thought about bringing someone with me to pick up her ashes... oh man im tearing up gotta go... btw i feel alone without her!!!

I am sorry, I know how this hurts

We put our doggies tags on the Christmas tree each year...my Scottie McKay, our family dog from when I was a teen passed in '84 at 12, Molly the midwest regional frisbee champion in '87 at 14, Maggie Mae and Scout, pure breeds with congenital troubles in '93 and '98 both just before their 5th birthdays and Jakey in '08 at 14.
We have ornaments that resemble them or a picture ornament to hang with the tags.
Its a nice tradition and we feel like they are still with us after all these years,
they never leave your heart and this love a blessing to honor

Thanks for everything everyone said about leaving Molly at home. I dropped her off at my friends earlier and shed a little tear. She is such a sweetheart.

I know she'll have a fantastic time at my friends and her dog Blue even wagged his tail this time when he saw her.

Chime - maybe in a while we may be thinking of the Colin's of the world, had a nasty moment the other week when a bigger dog tried climbing aboard, nearly had heart failure!

{sigh}

i love that this thread is still going after all this time...here is a pic of my buddy Nash...after reading all of these stories about dogs passing, it makes me fearful of when it is his time, as he is 9 now...i have had 5 dogs in my life growing up, but he is the first one that i can say is "my dog"...we had a cancer scare earlier this year and had that removed and he seems so much more vibrant since then. i love him more than anything....

we had a black lab named sammi and she passed away in 2007. she was the sweetest dog ever. nash was devestated and still acts a little funny when i take him to my parent's place, almost like he is searching for her.

i would not worry too much about your sammi. just make sure she has a happy and complete life. because that is all she is trying to do for you.

it is funny how we seem to care more for our animals than some people in our lives. i think my reasoning is my dog will never hurt me, while i can't even say that about close friends....

Hi Sen, it has been a long time. i looked through like 40 pages of this thread to see if i ever posted a pic of him but i gave up looking since there are 438 or so pages or something lol... yeah he is getting up there but he is still as energetic as ever, which is good. i am sure he would like to play with Gracie. the good thing is that since he is getting older he is much less dog-aggressive so i can actually take him places without him wanting to "dominate" other dogs lol...
