My Lilly would have been 5 years old on December 8th. We miss her very much. My daughter put her ornament on the tree. The ornament is a picture of Lilly on the first day that she came to our home. My daughter was balling her eyes out.....Still very sad that she is not here with us.

I would love to post a picture but I can not figure out how to do it.

I just wanted to post here since it hasn't been quite a month since Hamish passed and so I'm certainly feeling pretty lousy this holiday season...doesn't help that this has always been my favorite time of year...but I'm in no mood for Christmas at all this year. The house seems so empty But reading the posts here helps somewhat because I know I'm not alone in experiencing this.

Sorry for the somewhat depressing post; this has been a difficult week and I just wanted to tell someone.

*edited* I remembered this quote I happened to stumble upon in a book by storyteller Joseph Bruchac a few days after we lost Hamish, and out of all things it was this that gave me the most reassuring feeling; I figured I'd share it since it gives me a slight lift in spirits and it might help anyone else who has lost a dog:

"But here, in the land where my Abenaki ancestors hunted with their dogs for thousands of years, to dream of your dog does not mean that illness will come to you [as it does in some cultures]. It has only meant, for me, a reassurance that I will see again those dogs that I loved. It means only that I, like so many other human beings whose lives are brief, have dared to care for creatures whose years on this earth will always be fewer than our own." ~ Joseph Bruchac

I am happy to know that Henry is in very good company at the Rainbow Bridge. I know they are all hanging out together! Our Christmas ornament of Henry is front and center on the tree. He is forever in my heart.

Oh Elizabeth, that was beautiful, got me teary....and I'm sorry...I know it's hard (Big Newf Hugs from me and my crew) ((HUGS AND MORE HUGS))

All my dogs have had their own personalized Christmas ornament bought over their years.
Those that are at Rainbow Bridge, Gus, Emma, Harley, Sophie and Dudley I put every year first at the top of the Christmas tree, just below the Angel.

While hanging them up I reminisce about how wonderful they all were and what fun we had.

So, in my mind they are still here for Christmas.

At least we can share.......And know someone understands.........
Here is to all our sweet Rainbow Angels

This was run on our local news a couple of nights ago. A tree along a walking path popular with dog owners has become a Christmas memorial for passed pets.
