[:'(] Princess Died This Morning

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    Thank you everyone for the kind words it's just so hard with having 3 other dogs she's not with them and I just can't get over it I bought a coby digital picture frame trying to find all her picture's bought frames got one where you can put 15 pictures also bought those scrapbooking things you can put on pictures I bought it for the frame going to add them on,Bought a charm where they digitally put her picture on it from walmart doesn't seem enough tho. Everyone keeps telling me I need to come around how can I? I just can't believe this.Broken Heart

    What a wonderful tribute to Princess.   You're remembering her LIFE ..... key word there .... LIFE !   Some (most ?) people won't understand what you're feeling in your heart - WE do.   It will take time.   It took me quite awhile to stop crying and start smiling when I thought about Michelle.    Its been nearly a year now, but she's still a part of my daily life ..... LIFE .... she's in my heart.  She taught me patience and kindness - she taught me how to rest - she taught me how to be still and just enjoy the sights and sounds.   Princess, I'm sure, had lessons for you also - and those lessons will be a part of your entire LIFE ... she was a blessing to you.   Think of the blessings she's given you, and take your time greiving her loss - in your own timeframe the grief will lessen and be replaced with only the happy memories.  It takes time but you will go on - with LIFE -- a life that was shaped in part by Princess.  

    My thoughts are with you.

    Keeping you in our thoughts. I know you think you can't go on, but try and think of the good times with Princess and all the happiness she brought you. Remember your other dogs miss her too,so try to give them some extra hugs and kisses--dogs sense when your're sad.You just have to go day by day,and soon you'll just remember the happy times,as my mother's doctor told me when my mother passed away. Take care.

    Take all the time you need to grieve. Don't worry about what others think or say. She'll always be in your heart.

    Princess knew how much you loved her. She's not in pain anymore, and is not alone. I'm sure she's already found friends at the bridge to play with. 

    Take care.

    Thanks, my mom keeps telling me you saved Princess from that home she was at, I got Princess they said she was 6months old and she was suppose to be a pure blacklab thats what was in the newspaper and everytime we went to go see the dogs they always wanted us to go at night and one night we finally went and there was 3 of them 2 girls and a boy I wanted the boy but wasn't allowed to get a boy so I picked the smallest girl and that was my Princess these people thought we were stupid tried to tell us only one dog came out pure blacklab and she was at the farm so we took Princess I'll never forget she cried the whole way to my house howling felt so bad for her got her home she was so scared she jumped at every sound we already had Daisy she was almost a year old by then, I started to look Princess over she had scars all over her stomach, we were so glad we saved her from them, even up until she died she was scared of plastic bags or sounds but it wasn't as bad as when we first got her, my mom says remember you saved her from those people who beat her, and I am so glad I did but I miss her so much I just don't understand why she died it happened so fast she was fine and then 3days later she was gone.

    I called the vet again I was thinking what if she was poisoned maybe heartworm? Called she didn't have heartworms and they said if she was poisoned it would of showed, so I guess it was her heart, the day she died we took her into the vet they dropped her and I am pissed about that and what the lady said when I screamed how can you drop my dog she said she didn't feel it (stupid B%^CH) that lady said she had an underline heart problem, I told my mom today when I talked to her remember a long time ago I told the vet can you check her heartbeat because it beated twice all I know it didn't beat the same as my other dogs and that vet said no it's normal and I never thought it was. Now I should of kept on them.

    I know I'm seconding guessing myself and blaming myself I just feel like it's my fault some how I just don't know why she's gone from me.

    You DID save her - and you gave her a wonderful beautiful happy life filled with LOVE.   She had many many wonderful years with you, which is more than she would have had otherwise.     I know that Princess would want you to remember all the good times you shared.    Have you started the work on your scrapbook ?   I'll bet that doing that would bring back lots of happy memories and help you work through your grief (I know it did for me).    Try not to beat yourself up - even the vet, who had over 8 years of schooling and many years of practice couldn't foretell that anything was wrong.  You really did your best and you gave Princess the life she deserved - take comfort and find peace in that.

    Hang in there and give your other babies a hug from me.

    dasisyprincess I am so sorry for your loss of Princess. You were the best mom Princess could have had.

    Run free Princess run free

    Princess when you see Buddy or Fluffy, Suzy, Muffin, Ginger, Sally, Scooter, or Buffy play and have fun with them. Tell them someday Mom will be with them again as someday you will also be with Princess again. Keep Princess in your thoughts and memories until then. She will never  ever die as she is in your heart and memories until we are united again with them.

    I am so sorry for your loss, I know what you are going through as I am also going through the same thing here.  God Bless you.

    Your collage is beautiful;  I hope you find peace in it remembering all the good times you've shared.

    Your collage is beautiful. I am so sorry for your loss. Dogs come into our lives and take over our hearts! We lose a piece of ourselves when they are gone, but we are better for having them be part of us. My Shadow was 15 1/2 years old, I thought I was ready. I still cry bittersweet tears when I think of her.

    I like the song by Garth Brooks "The Dance"

    "And now I'm glad I didn't know
    The way it all would end the way it all would go
    Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
    But I'd of had to miss the dance"

    Princess will always be with you!

    *hugs*

    Time will make it bearable! Princess is still loving you back! I know I will be the same way when I lose my Maxine. Your friends are here and we understand.

    Go hug your other dogs. They need you too, they miss her too. Use them to help you heal.

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, Princess.  I really enjoyed the collages you created.  Princess looks so happy to have had such a loving home.  The angels sent you to her to get her out of that awful abusive farm you got her from.   Don't let people tell you how to mourn your loss, not everyone seems to understand what a special friend a dog can be both to a person or to the other pets in their lives.  I can tell you are remembering the good times you had with her.  I lost my dalmation, Dancer very suddenly about 8 years ago now, & while the pain of losing her isn't as great, her memory still lives in my heart & mind nearly every day.  I know that the day will come that I will see her again, but in the mean time I have rescued two other dogs.  I adopted a great dane, black & tan hound mix named Trixie not long after I lost Dancer and last Sunday I rescued an american foxhound named Maggie.  They are learning to get along together.  Both seem happy & content to have each other.  I hope I can make them as happy a home as it seems you made for your family of two legged & four legged members.  Keep trying to remember the good times & don't forget your other babies will need love while they are missing their friend.  I hope everyday the pain is a little less for you.  Most importantly take care of yourself & your other babies.  Best wishes to you.
