In Memory of Holly Lee
 It’s been a little over a week since my dog Holly passed on. It was about 3 years ago on an early Saturday afternoon when I received a call from my parents. They had just headed out for the day when they came across a little dog wandering down the middle of a busy road near their house. After picking her up from the side of the road I was able to get her into the vet that same day. She was malnourished, had hair loss on her head and tail due to flea bites, had a yeast infection in her ears, bad teeth, mammary lumps, a lump on her side AND she was blind. The vet could only estimate her age as “ancient”. The flea problem and yeast infection were treated immediately but the dental and biopsy on the lumps had to wait until I fattened her up some. The lumps turned out to be cancer as did the lump on her side. She had the side lump and mammary chains removed and had her dental work. For the first 6 months or so she always walked around with her head down just as she did when I found her. As time passed she lifted her head and walked with confidence. She had a strong, independent personality. She didn’t NEED me but she liked having me around. I, on the other hand, was not long out of a long term relationship and she was just what I needed. I loved coming home in the morning to get a kiss or two from her. She was stingy with those kisses which made them even more special to me. Some mornings I didn’t get any but I still annoyed her with my kisses and hugs. I know secretly she loved it. I’m grateful for the time I had with her and I miss her. |

 One year ago today, I lost my (tri color) Australian shepherd (Bailey). She was my first Aussie shepherd, the best dog that I ever had the pleasure of being "owned" by. I miss her and the way we were in sync with each other do not get me wrong I love the two dogs I have now.. I believe she had a heart attack and passed on with me by her side. She was loyal and loving to her last breath. P.S. Kind of funny how I stumbled on this thread exactly one year after her passing

Dear Gage and Snack Time,I am so sorry for the huge loss you both suffered. When one of our beloved four leggeds leave us, a part of us leaves with them....but we are more complete because of their presence in our lives. If not for them, I do not think we humans would be tolerable on this earth. Our connections to our pets are perhaps the last final thread that connects us to the Whole, the universal spiritual connection.
Mourn, for that is but another form of love. Love to both of you...

Gaige - I am so sorry for your loss! One day at a time, as they say. Be gentle with yourself as you grieve. If you need anything I'm right up the road, and I have my new rescue Foster for you to love on, when you need some love time!
SnackTime - I'm coming up on a one year anniversary of the loss of my wonderful Taylor Dane. My heart goes out to you. I still miss her with everything I have.... -Moonie |

Mr Moon, I am sorry for the loss of your dane, too. How sad. Truly sad.
I still miss my beloved Story, the landseer newfoundland, that I laid to rest a few years ago. She was my constant companion while I was in such horrific pain from my surgery and from lost dreams and failed loves. She carried me thru those years of mine and in return, I kept her safe and made her feel secure in her last two years with dementia. we loved them well, didnt we?
