Hi,
My beloved little Chinese Crested Willow went over Rainbow Bridge tonight. I had promised her a good death and I kept my promise I was with her while the vet put her to sleep and I told her how much I love her. I have a lock of her hair and in about 2 weeks I can collect her ashes and bring them back home to me. God bless all of you for your support and sharing your loss it is a great comfort to me. I miss her soooooo much. I feel like a part of me has died with her |

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Willow. You kept your promise to her, as hard as that was, and that is the most important thing. I did the same for my precious Dante 6 months ago,just days before Christmas. They were kind enough to deliver his ashes before Christmas so we could have him home for the holidays.
It is veru hard for you right now, but believe me that you will get better. It takes a really long time, but you did the best you could for your pet. Never forget that. |

Thank you so much for your kind words. I dragged myself round Asda today. My daughter bless her turned up with a photo of me holding her when she was well. Its so beautiful. Reminded me of how she was before the cancer took her. It must have been so hard for you before Christmas. They say that we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and shadows shouldnt scare us. I believe I will see her again, this bodily death is only temporary, whole and complete along with all our family members. I shall be happier when I get her ashes back as she will never leave me again x

Dear Friend,
I understand the sorrow you are feeling in your heart without your precious Willow. You made the right decision for her as difficult as it was for you. You were with her as she slipped into a peaceful and pain-free sleep. This side of the "cancer journey" is very painful and the tears come readily and often. You will feel alone and empty and memories will come often triggered by something. Eventually you will have some smiles as you remember Willow and feel less pain. I think it would be lovely to place her urn and ashes beside your bed where she liked to spend time with you. She will forever be your "guardian angel" and wait for you to one day be reunited. I miss my Benny every day and I still cry sometimes and he left us on April 2, 2009. These precious best friends enter our lives and get into our hearts and forever stay there. God Bless you and your family in all the days ahead. Take your time to grieve, don't be around people who do not understand and there are plenty of those around. Look at lots of pictures of Willow and talk about her. Blessings, Joanne & Shadow I ONLY WANTED YOU
They say memories are golden well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Author unknown |

I am very saddened to hear your news. It is the worst thing in the world, but they are in a better place and like I said to myself, I cannot be selfish and have her suffer because of me, because I don't want to let go... XOX Patricia...

Thank you all for your kind words. it was my first day back at work today since I lost Willow and it was quite difficult emotionally a few times during the day. i miss her so much and it is only 1 week tomorrow. My daughter gave me a lovely photo of us all together in happier times. One more week before I get the ashes back. I want them back cause it will be like getting a part of her back although Im also dreading it at the same time cause its so final really. I have another little Chinese Crested she is lovely different to Willow but with the same hair but instead of being pink, brown like my Gizmo. What an awful May it was for me.
