Feeling Lost - just said goodbye to my furbaby

[TashaRVT]

This morning at 8:43am, I said goodbye to my furbaby, Merina.

She was a 17yo shep/lab cross that's been with me while I was in college. She was with me before I got married, before we moved to our house and before we had kids.
She was THE world's biggest terror for the first 2 years we had her. She chewed EVERYTHING, she stole food off of the counter, she peed on the floor, nearly pulled my arm off on every walk and hated every other dog she met. After 2 years of very hard work, she became the next to perfect dog for our family.

When she was diagnosed with lung cancer and an abdominal tumour 3 months ago, I thought my world was falling apart.

I'm lost without her in my life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm going through it too and it hurts. There is no way to sugar coat it, it hurts. But it will lessen over time.

I am so sorry

We lost our dog at the start of the year and I still miss her everyday, they are such an important part of our families.
Hold on to all those precious memories.

Thinking of you
Quasar

I'm really very sorry. Losing one of our fur babies is heartbreaking, it really is. What a gift that she was with you for so many years, and through so many of the important parts of your life. She was obviously a special girl. Bless her, and big hugs for you

I'm thinking of you. I know how much it hurts. We lost our two old labs earlier this year. The bond we form with animals is such a precious gift. I believe we will see our furbabies again. I'll be watching for them over the rainbow bridge someday.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I was thinking about that last night, with my Rocky. My little rascal of a Maltese, I have had for 10 years. I could not imagine my life without him either. Hope your heart is able to heal with time, and that maybe she will send over another puppy to continue on, the big role she had in your home. Big hugs.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. They really helped me through some tough days and nights.

I picked up her ashes today; I ordered a special urn that's designed to be able to sit either inside or outside in your garden. It's called the Everlasting Rock Urn, and looks like a decorative rock, not just like an urn. That just didn't seem right, and I thought it might be kind of morbid to just have her sitting on a shelf in the living room or something.
I also got a pawprint made and it came back beautifully as well.

Sounds strange, but it's settling to have her back home where she belongs.
