In Memoriam - Remembering Pets Whom Have Passed Away

So sad reading all these posts.

This is a really nice thread. I think as pet lovers our pets become part of our families and to lose them is heart breaking.

I lost my four legged sister Jazz on 9/26 and that was one of the hardest things I 've ever had to go through...It felt like I lost a close relative. My mother had her for 11 years, last time I seen my mother grieve like that was at my grandmother's funeral. Cancer affects EVERYTHING and it is a horrible disease! We miss her so much , but I know she is not in pain anymore.....RIP Jazz love you and will see you again! 6.18.2000 - 9.26.2011

I'm so sorry for your loss! Do know she's in heaven playing at Rainbow Bridge waiting for her loved ones!

Wow, I didn't even see this thread...I think about them every day and look at their pictures from time to time. I'd had all of my pets since I was a little kid and they passed when I was either a teenager or in my early 20s. My rottweiler, Priesse, got valley fever and my dad took him to get euthanized. I didn't even say goodbye because I was angry at my dad at the time. I sat in the backyard and cried a few days later. My other dog, Rex, had a tumor in his brain that was starting to push on his eyes. I came home from work one day and my parents looked like they had been crying. They told me that they had to take Rex to the vet to get put down. I still have his collar with his fur on it. My kitty, Wyatt, had Kidney problems and sometimes I neglected to give him his medicine because he hated taking it and fought me. One day he just stopped eating and started acting lethargic and I struggled for a week debating on whether I should take him to the vet or not. I didn't want to lose him because I loved him so but when I saw how badly he was suffering I had to take him to get put down a week before my 20th birthday. I cried for an entire week and even after that I was depressed for the longest time. We buried him in the backyard between the lemon tree and the palm tree, I still have some of his toys and his brush. Lastly, my beloved dog Shadow, who I was very close to emotionally, died one morning unexpectedly. At the time I had a full time job that ended at 1 in the morning, so by the time I got home I was very exhausted. I saw Shadow through the gate, smiling at me, as always. I was just too tired to go back there and play with him for a bit, I told him I loved him and that I would see him the next day. For whatever reason I decided to sleep in super late that morning and didn't wake up til 2pm. My phone had been going off over and over but I ignored it. Finally I heard a loud knock on my door and when I opened it my brother told me that Shadow had died. I felt like a knife had gone through my heart and I immediately started sobbing. I went into the backyard and there he was, laying in the grass as if he were resting. Shadow was my soul, it was such a painful thing to see but a few minutes later I felt a sense of peace because I knew he had gone on his own accord and not at the hands of a vet. Here I am crying, thinking about my lovely little angels....I hope to be reunited with them some day........
