I feel everybody's pain....beloved pets are seperate from the rest of the madness of the world, and especially hard to part ways with,....I remember crying like a baby while I built a cat coffin and pickaxed a hole in the frozen bank out back for my black cat ,...Cinder was her name,....a reformed farm cat that was with me for 14 years.

Amesbury, you have to remember that you can't experience joy without pain. The only reason we miss our pets so much when they pass is because of all the happiness they brought us. If you go through life avoiding pain, you'll never know just how happy you could have been! You're right though, it is similar to loosing a family member. Just ask yourself though, would you have rather had not had that family member in your life at all? Chris

I am with lex (No Pain no Gain) I except the pain of loosing a pet because the good times you spend with them out weighs the pain in the end. Then there are the memories Amen!

It was only the two of us......the house feels empty......quiet.....
Everytime I ate wings I would open the container and grab a piece of celery and turn and throw it to him....he would always be right behind me...waiting for his treat. I ordered wings last nite and turned but he wasn't there.
Made for a long nite
Had another candle vigil at his side last nite......I'll make it a permanent nitely thing to lite the candle and say goodnite.
I miss him so much.... it hurts....thx for the thought's everyone.

Privvydigger;

I can understand your pain over Rhett. Have been thtough the same thing more than once. When they go, a part of you goes with them....The more I know of some people, the more I prefer the company of animals.
I hope that, in time, you will provde a loving home for another "Rhett".
Best Wishes.

writing down about the happy times together helped me...
finding pics and placing them where I could see my little girl also helped.
found the comfort in just sharing with a few people who were pet lovers......
did a lot of crying alone while driving in my car.
right now the new pup who is 2 lays devoted at my feet.
I love him dearly,
but no one can ever replace my little girl.

what a gift a pet is.
the love we get.
unconditional!

True Love
that we can't
get anywhere
else in life.......

Forgiving...

Man's Best Friend!

Best Part is we will meet again!

There are a lot of online pet
memorials to leave a post of
memory of your pet.

Did you ever post a pic of Rhett?
Maybe you could here.
In memory of... Just a thought.
I'll say a prayer for you at this difficult
time. Take care....

I had to reformat my computor and all my pics are on a disk I can't find.
My sister has some she's sending down to me so I will post a pic soon
I woke from a nap just before........the minute you remember.........I didn't think it was going to be this hard.
