grieving our pets

ladies,I am friends with a woman who runs a buns rescue. I bought one of her HellBuns tshirts as a fundraiser. I love what she does...rescues these pitiful creatures who many just dont understand arent LIVESTOCK.

prayers out to you and your lost ones...

Just a few days ago I was looking at photos of my beloved Bailey, baby dawg. We had to put her down in Jan. 2012. She was 13 years old. I loved her very much, still do. That dog was different from any other animal I had in my life. She just made me light up on the inside and so many others too. I would always get stopped by people to comment on what a beautiful dog she was. She loved people and other dogs but Bailey was a shy one with humans she did not know, yet.

My heart goes out to all of you here and thank you for making it safe for others like me to share my still lingering grief over the loss of my baby dawg.

Mare and I lost our beloved Ember a couple of weeks ago. It was beyond heartbreaking. Mare's composure with most things always fascinated me, but with this loss, She no doubt lost it. I guess I have always known that when that day came, I had to be the one who kept it together. It was rough.

Ember was the sweetest orange cat I have ever known. In fact, he changed my opinion about orange cats after seducing me with his lovable charm. He was feisty when you irritated him (and of course, I had to poke that tiger on occasion), but for the most part, he was the most lovable feline I have ever come across. The house isn't the same without him.

I still grieve the loss of my Charlie and Shaolyn. Even though they died years ago, my heart still hurts knowing I lost the two best-est friends I have ever had. They've been with me through thick and thin, and when I lost them, a little piece of me went with them.

Now, a little piece of me left with Ember.

My friend got me involved with Bunny Advocates, my bun Parsley came from one of their foster homes. You're right Miss Tia, people do thing think of them as livestock, even though Bunny Advocates repeatedly goes in to train people in bunny care, and in how to screen potential bun parents, nothing has changed.

Oh Greyson, Bailey sounds like she so much like my sweet newf,Joey. Every single person he met, told me he had changed them somehow. There was something inside,within him, that touched something within each of us. It became such a phenomena that we called him the Buddha Dog.

It makes me believe that there are beings on this earth, that carry the Light stronger than others. We all do, but some exude it more purely than the others. And somehow they do so in mass appeal. Your Bailey surely was one of them.

And Hollylane, our local rabbit rescue does alot of education too. They also use social networking to post photos of these buns in adorable pictures, so people have different images of buns other than in wire cages at county fairs.

Speaking of livestock, even livestock need to be handled with care and appreciation. We have lost our connection with our food sources. We buy it in plastic and cardboard.. Rarely do we connect with the animals that feed us, therefore, we allow the meat industry to do inhumane things to slaughter animals. I was raised by a farmer, who tenderly cared for his livestock, named them, played with them in the open fields, and come the day they were to go to auction, would spend time with them, thanking them for feeding his family. We knew the animals that fed us and instead of grossing us out, made us appreciate our meals and taught us to not objectify our food. Breathing animals gave their lives for us. Food chain, yes, bottom line. But it was a sacred lesson my father taught us....

sorry for off topic/on topic chat. Hugs to everyone with losses...

question....has anyone NOT adopted a new pet after the loss of their pet? Was the loss that huge that you just could not do it again?

It has been a sad and sudden farewell to the Enchanting Dog
