Oh Linda, I can feel the pain and sadness you are going thru. I am so sorry. Hard as it is to do, you did the right thing and kept your promise to Dolly.

 

You have my deepest sympathy.

 

 

Fly free and without pain  Dolly. You are only a breath away.

 

Ev 

It is so, so very difficult when your head knows you've done the right thing, but your heart screams out in pain.  I hope soon the love you shared will bring you balance and peace.

Dolly was a very sweet girl and I know she was with you through some tough times...and your heart will ache for a long time...maybe forever.  I am glad, though, that you didn't let her be in continued pain.......and did what was best for her...even though you wished it could have been otherwise.

Hugs to you -- PAT

so sorry for your loss, but you did the most loving thing any of us can do for these wonderful pups.

A Parting Prayer

Dear Lord, please open your gates
and call St. Francis
to come escort this beloved companion
across the Rainbow Bridge.

Assign her to a place of honor,
for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.

Bless the hands that send her to you,
for they are doing so in love and compassion,
freeing her from pain and suffering.

Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her life
with the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her
by sharing those memories with others.

Let her remember me as well
and let her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise,
please allow her to accompany those
who will bring me home.

Thank you, Lord,
for the gift of her companionship
and for the time we've had together.

And thank you, Lord,
for granting me the strength
to give her to you now.

Amen.

Run with the wind sweet Dolly

Oh Linda, I am so very sorry!  I know how much Dolly meant to you, and she knew too!  You showed how much you loved her by letting her go so she would no longer be in pain.  She was such a sweet and beautiful girl, and I am sure that Mikey misses her too.  Remeber all the good times and that she will always be in your heart.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Oh, Linda, I'm so sorry. 

I can say I know how you feel. I lost my heart and soul in Feb.  And her littermate in April.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what a huge hole this leaves in your heart and Mikey's too. You did the bravest thing by letting her go with dignity and stopping her pain.  May your memories comfort you at this time.

Yours forebber, Harley 

Thank you so much everyone. Unfortunately we, as animal lovers, experience this heartbreak way too often.  My heart is truly broken. I miss her so much it hurts. No matter where I was in the house she was there, even the bathroom! It is so empty. I've had pets my entire life but Dolly was different, we had such a connection. I adored her. I will miss her forever, I just wish the tears would stop coming. Her cremated remains came home with me yesterday so at least she is here in some form. I just wish I could kiss her nose and rub her beautiful ears once more...

Linda Dolly Mikey Jester<

I am so glad that I ran into you at GIG, but sorry that I didn't spend more time with you......she looked so good with her greying muzzle......she will always be remembered here as Harley's Lady Dolly.....such a sweetie...I am so sorry for your loss...

Big Hugs,Peggy & Kidz

Linda,

No words can help ease your pain, but please know that those of us who have lost our special heart dog can sympathize.  I have a seizure dog and the thought of organ damage is a definite concern.  But, what can we do?  We have to give them the best quality of life we can while they are with us.  Dollly will be missed by all the members of this board who got to know her, either in person or through your posts.

Again, my sympathies.

Wilma, Penelope, Smudge (seizure dog), and Joe Boxer

Linda, I am so sorry to read this, I was away from the computer all weekend or I would have written sooner. Dolly was such a little sweetheart and was loved by all. I know that she went through everything with you, the good and the bad, but Linda she will always be with you in your heart until your paths cross again. I am so glad that I got to see you both at GIG. Take care of Mickey and yourself.
Hugs, Carolyn, Karma and Wilson

Linda - we are so sorry - I am just seeing this. There are no words - we know what you are going through - but we cannot imagine the depth of your sorrow at the loss of your heart dog, sweet Dolly - she was indeed a very special girl. Lots of healing thoughts and cyber hugs being sent your way. Give Mikey a big hug from us! 

Donna (Dave), Ripley, Ellie, and Mercedes

Thanks so much for the kind words. The house seems so lonely. She always had to be in the room I was in...even the bathroom! At my age I thought I had seen my share of heartbreak over the years but I know now that last Thurs. I found out what it really feels like to have a broken heart. I miss her so much it hurts. Mikey and I will be fine, thank God I have my silly boy to bring me a laugh a day!

Be at peace, my sweet, sweet angel girl.Linda Dolly Mikey Jester<

 Dear Linda,

There is such incredible sadness beyond words of your loss of Dolly.  We know that nothing can measure to the aching loss you feel for your beloved Dolly. 

We adored her from afar; and we ever so grateful to have met her in Sandy Paws in 2007.  She was quite a charmer, and full of spunk, graciousness, and wisdom. 

Dolly will always be watching for you from above;  she adored you as much as you loved her.  The wonderful thing about that is she loved you without reservation.  As humans, we are so lucky to experience, such a pure love.  Dolly had such a loving spirit, I know that she will always be with you in your heart.  When you look up at the twinkling stars tonight, know that Dolly is right there, shining the brightest.

With GA flags hung at half mast in respect for our beloved friend, Dolly; and may the comfort of your treasured memories with you help  to give you some comfort. 

Linda, I am going to ask Rich to go through the photos from SP 2007 as we had some taken with Dolly and I will send them to you.

With much love, though are hearts are broken,

Bonnie, Rich, and the GA Houndiez-Bullet, Pookie, Wickie, and Kris

 

Thank you Bonnie for your memories of Dolly. I promised my pups long ago that they wouldn't suffer a long illness when they were only being kept alive a little longer for me. I loved her too much, I didn't want to see her so sick and so sad for even one more hour. Better a day too early than a day too late.

It's so hard thinking back to all the trips, all the greyhound events, all the vacations, all the meet & greets, and all the friends I've made through her.  She was on every trip with me. . My first...I learned about this wonderful breed with her by my side the whole way.

Now I just miss her so much it hurts. My one constant through the past 8 years of life's setbacks. 

Now she is truly my angel...

I am just seeing this. I am heartbroken. I am so sorry. Dolly was a very special lady, even Nimby knew that. I'm so sad that you have had to send her to the bridge. Nimby and Earl were there to meet her I'm sure.

I'm sending you the biggest, warmest hugs. Tears for Dolly. You gave her such a wonderful, loving home. She loved you as much as you loved her.
