I think we all need this place to come.........TY Angela and everyone. Today coming home from work, I was looking at Piggyluvs pic on my dashboard and singing our fav song....... all I kept thinking is I wish everyone could have their precious luvs live as long as he did. What a lucky family we are to have had him into his aging yrs. Sometimes I feel selfish for grieving so hard , I had him threw the prime and wise yrs of his life. He passed with grace and dignity intact. I look at my 2 pyrs and 2 newfies now and think "will I see them threw a long and wonderful life like mas Piggyluv had. Did you all know that Mr Piggs had another name ...it was Gerik.lol. He didnt like it much , piggyluv stuck. Who names a newf Piggyluv?????...........my heart did. Hugs to everyone tonight as we join in support of each other who are having a bad day missing their luvs!!!

I have found reading all these recent losses very difficult as I can so relate how everyone must feel. Every-time I see there is a new message on Rainbow bridge I feel worried, but I have to look as I knew how everyone helped me with my losses.
Because this is a sticky, I would like to post pictures of my NN losses....The ones where NN helped me and where I could pour out my feeling and get support, which made it easier, because someone (s) understood.
I would always be grateful and thankful for all the support I have had.
From most recent
Our sweet sweet Tobias, a real gentleman and still so very missed (Dec 10)
Johhno (Dec 10)
Little Nugget our smart little working dog......May10
Gentleman Zack, Tessa's hero our sweetheart.....May 08
Abbey, my heart girl.......She was my intro to NN in 2003, with all her orthopedic medical problems.....May 2005.......
And you wonder why I hate the month of May
I have many more Rainbow Angels, but these are my NN Angels

When cleaning out my old car, I felt sad trading it in. It still had some of Cookie's fur on the headliner, and I found an intact Greenie under one of the seats. I can't bring myself to throw it out. It's sitting in my dresser.

its been almost 3 months since my luv left us, Im finding it hard to deal with loosing a senior luv than it was with Glory, she was a senior but also very sick. Piggs was not sick. I try to put it all into perspective , what the difference could be but cant. Theres one thing I cant do yet. I cant seem to remove Piggs remains from the box I brought him home in, I know inside theres a beautiful box of Cherry wood and a plaque that bears his name. But it all remains in the white card board box that says Pet Crematory.It sits in his glass doored cabinet along with all his momentos, his harness from the day he came here, his collar , pictures etc..I sure wish I could see my Big Burly boy once more. Ya know he was extra special....he had a personality that was so flexable and sweet...what ever the moment brang Mas Piggyluv would greet it like a party, although he was such a laid back newf, when a moment for fun and a new adventure would arise , Mr Piggs was at full attention and ready to roll by my side. I cant think of anytime that Mr Piggs didnt enjoy the day , the moment or just enjoy life. I know it will get better, time is a great healer but Im glad I have this place to come to and read others stories too. Hugs to everyone today.......sure has been a heck of a yr for us...........BUT I have noticed the cycle seems to have stopped, so many good things to read on NN these days. How awesome is that.

Erika,
I know all too well how you are feeling. :hug: My heart breaks for you and with you.
Saturday will be 2 months since we lost Oso and I'm not sure if it is getting any easier. The grief is not a constant stream of tears anymore but when it hits, it seems to hit alot harder. Like, Piggy, Oso wasn't sick at all 'til the day we rushed him to the vet.
Yesterday, I thought a caught a glimpse of him waiting for me, as usual, at the top of the stairs.

Been thinking about you and wondering how you are. ya probably did see Oso.....our luvs show up at the strangest times. Sending you a big hug today. Im such a realist and I cant seem to sort out the reality of it all , oh yes it hits hard but I think thats when we are loving them the most in our inner thoughts, ya think????:hugs:

Hugs right back at you, sweetie. I still can't grasp the reality of it either. It's just impossible that they are gone! The past few months have been so hard on so many of us. It was like some sort of giant Newfie recall.
I think it's very possible that those are the times that it hits so hard, and maybe it's because he's thinking about me too?
I received a sympathy card that said "on your heart remains an eternal paw print - and on your dog's is a hand print of love".
I think that's a lovely thought.

what a wonderful quote in your card........yes there was a big newfie recall.....we wont know why but I bet if they take the best from each one of our luvs and send a newf puppy down made of all that good stuff.........the absolute most perfect newf will have been found. Together we will all be OK.....thank goodness we do have each other. Im not one for putting myself out there and showing weakness but this time I dont care. Lets look to the stars and the roses and all the flowers today and feel the love they send us. Sending you some Piggy power hugs tonite

Hugs Erika - It's so hard, isn't it? I still have an ache that won't go away. Teddy was such a special guy too, he had so many health challenges all his life but always tried so hard to make the most out of each and every day. His passing has left a huge void in my life and I know you feel the same about your sweet Piggyluv.
