Weddingbee boards

So in honor of her, let's show pictures of our beloved pets, tell funny stories about our pets, etc.

This is my Bailey Boo. She always used to follow me around everywhere. Whenever I came home,she'd run up to me, I'd say "Give me a hug," and she'd jump up on her back two legs and wrap her front two legs around my waist to hug me. I miss her so much!

Thanks for your support. People on weddingbee seem to love their pets, so I knew that people could empathize. Bailey was old and sick so I know she's not in pain anymore, but it still hurts.

I'm sorry this happened to you.  We all know when we get a pet that it's going to happen one day or another, but it's still so hard to deal with...

I hope you feel better soon.

@Jaybird - Hope this helps you through this tough time :( I am scared for the day to come that my little boys pass away. My 9 month old puppers isn't scared of cars and i saw him in front of someones tire the other day, so thankful that person saw him and stopped.

Puppy Paws

Fifteen years of puppy paws moved outside today.
Inside my heart is breaking,
the Light of my Life - *Missy, has gone away.

I held her head, kissed her blurry eyes, and said "I Love You, Girl"
With gentle hands and heavy heart, I released her soul to God,
crying for her spirit to be free.
Never dreamed it would hurt so much,
Guess I wasn't thinking much of Me.

But she must be missing something,
she left her paws upon my heart.
Kind reminders of the time we had together,
I never wanted her to be the first to part.

They tug as fiercely as the shoestrings she once played with;
the tug of wars together, the one's I let her win.
The "tennies", the toys, all the things she loved speak about her passing
and I fall apart again.

Those little puppy "grunts" and kisses seem so far away.
I cry: "What was I thinking?
I said it'd be OK."

I said; "I'll be alright without you, If you really have to go.
No need for you to fret or worry,
we had our chance to love each other so."

Our final road together remains yet to be seen.
Puppy paws can be so gentle,
the pain they leave in passing, so mean.

"I'll hold them safely in my heart", I tell Her;
"but I'll let them run at will.
When we cross the Bridge together,
I know they will be still."

this is my baby!!! Her name is molly and shes like my child!!!!

maybe this pic will work??

Thank you, everyone, for the support. I am sorry for all of your losses as well! I also enjoyed the cute/funny stories that many of you had. That's what makes us all want to get pets again, even after losses and the hurting. I am fortunate to still have a dog and a few cats, whom I love dearly.

@ MsBrew: That poem is so sweet. Thank you.

@Sweetheartdealer: I know she's definitely romping in a field somewhere, probably swimming in some dirty dog pond in heaven, and I know she's probably with all of everyone else's lost pets, finally happy because she's no longer sick.

Here is my Panzer boy.  He would have loved to be friends with your Bailey Boo.  Since he was a shelter pup he wants to be friends with alllll dogs, whether they like it or not ;)  Don't know what I'd do without him, so I feel your loss of Bailey.  What a beautiful pup.  She was lucky to have a wonderful owner that loved her so as so many animals are not so lucky.

"The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make
a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you,
but he will make a fool of himself too."

I'm so sorry!! This post and all the fantastic responses totally made me tear up. We had to put down my first dog almost a year ago, and it was just awful. She was not feeling well at all though so we know it was for the best.. and for the last 2 months she was eating steak and chicken and "real people" food (wouldn't eat anything else), so she was pretty happy :) 

Us having fun :)

One of her favorite pastimes was asking to go out, walking around for 4 minutes, then coming back and asking to come in.. only to pretend like she hadn't done so and ignoring us.
