2 years and still crying

Sue Smart · 02-15-2011, 03:14 PM

It is coming up to the 2 year anniversary of Layla's crossing. I love Kayleigh and Vixen but that doesn't help my heartbreak. I wish I could go back and do things differently. I know it was the right thing to do and Daniel, my vet, agreed when I got her there. I hate going over Harmonsworth where she was so happy swimming, I miss the ease of owning her, not worrying about where she was 'cos she was always there. I know she was one in a million - God Bless you my love and although Kayleigh gets on well with Vixen it is not like the bond she had with you.

My last dog died 2 years ago this month and I know how you feel. We refer to her as Saint Daisy because she was such a sweet dog.

They leave such a void in our hearts. Big hugs to you.

My Poohbear passed away 2 years ago this month. Still miss her to tears. Although Chloe has been a fine replacement, she still isn't Poohbear, and I know I can't expect her to be.

May happy memories of Layla be healing for you.

They are forever in our hearts, and we will always have our precious memories. Till we meet again at the bridge.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I wonder if the day will ever come that I don't have a melt down and tears at least once a day over the loss of Remo.

My heart goes out to you. Sending you

It has been over 4 years since I lost Dakota. The intense hurt seems to ease, but the longing and sadness always seems to be there. Our heart dogs cannont be "replaced". I find it hard not to compare Phoenix with Dakota, so I remind myself that they are completely different dogs and Phoenix brought something new to my life.

Mourn and remember...grief has it's own timeline!

That saying "time heals all wounds" can be so wrong--time can just make things harder. I know how you feel, I absolutely adore Stosh but it's been two years since we lost Omy and I can hardly talk about her without crying.

I still cry when I think of Shane, he passed away 10/09. I miss him so much! My friends and I still refer to him as "the best worst dog ever"! He was such a handfull, right up to the end. Miss that guy always trying to take money out of my wallet, standing up and taking my sunglasses off the top of the china cabinet and knocking over peoples drinks with his nose when they were not looking at parties so he could drink them! LOL

I especially cry with certain songs, Layla unplugged, Unbreak my heart, Run. I flick through the music TV channels and dissolve in tears. I obviously can't play music in the car and have talking books on my Tomtom. My appreciation to your commiserations when you are in just as much pain as me.
