so sad

[Wiztherewoz]

There's a small part of me that has wondered how anyone can muster the togetherness to write their deepest feelings on a public forum so soon after the loss of a precious friend. But, here I am, seeking some kind of solace, or even just finding it comforting to be able to get it off my chest a bit, or something... I'm not even sure.

I've lost a real friend today. My boss's BC, Pip. She's never not been shadowing me while I've been working there... It'll be so weird now without her. I can't even imagine.

She made it impossible to sweep up, because of her infatuation with the sweeping brush, she'd bark this awful ear piercing bark and grab the brush and running through the dust piles, scattering it all over the place. She'd pester the horses, she'd run ahead of them when they were going in and out, she'd run behind them whenever you'd do any work with them, she'd grab their tails, she'd scare us to death nearly getting killed on numerous occasions, and she'd steal any food she could get her teeth into. And she'd go nuts for water from the hose pipe!

She was a bloody lovely dog. So full of energy and joy. So loyal. So clever. So loving. Such a good friend. She will be missed so, so badly. How am I supposed to work there and do anything at all without missing her being there now?

It was awful to see her so ill today, and we are devastated that she is gone. I can't believe I'll never get to see her ever again. That lovely, lovely girl.

RIP Pippa dog. The world will be a little less bright without you in it. We'll never, ever forget you. x

Ah no, I'm so sorry Heather. What happened? (if you want to tell) It's terrible to lose a beloved friend, no matter who the animal "belongs" to.

[Wiztherewoz]

Cancer. :(

She got poorly really, really quickly. She had an operation a few weeks ago to cut out her cancerous growths, but a week later they were growing back again. And in the last few days, the deterioration was shockingly fast. It was really aggressive, the cancer. She was thirteen years old.

Aww Heather I'm sorry :( It seems to be one thing after another at the moment, it's just sh!t.

I thought about making a remembrance thread for our 4, but it felt weird, because 3 of them weren't mine, but I still want to. I dunno.

[devastated70]

i'm sorry Heather... i'm sure it's going to be lonely without her..

[Irish_Lass]

I'm sorry Heather. RIP wee Pip, she looked like a lovely wee doggy. :( Its never easy and I'm thinking about you. *cuddles*

How sad to lose such a great companion and friend. I'm sorry about Pip.

[Kkye]

I'm sorry too. That's all I can really say, I miss Iris and I can understand.

[RoxyGirl]

I'm so sorry to hear this Heather. My thoughts are with you and Pip's "owner".

May she rest in peace.

[dlaura]

Awww Heather I am so very sorry to hear of your and your bosses' loss. Sending you cyberhugs hon.

[diogy]

I like to think there is an animal heaven (just like rainbow bridge)
I'm sorry and feel your pain. Your friend is in heaven with mine. Take care of Lupi
for me Pip.
RIP...

Why not Emily? that's what this section is for. We'd all love to hear about them, and offer support. It will give their deaths some meaning, if others mourn them too, you know?

[e1beth1]

I'm so sorry. Just because she wasn't yours doesn't mean you can't feel real pain for her loss especially since you spent so much time with her. Sounds like she had a wonderful life though, you can find some solace in that.

[Wiztherewoz]

Thanks, everybody, for your understanding comments.

I gotta go to work very soon, and see for real that she's not there anymore. It struck me in the middle of the night, and woke me up. Just laid there, feeling like I'd been kicked in the stomach, thinking, "Oh my god, Pip's really dead." :(

This is gonna be a tough day...

[devastated70]

I'm sorry heather..
i still have those continuous thoughts in my head/sleep/kick in the stomach concerning sadie.. it's a hard thing to try to accept and/or get used to..
i hope things get easier for you,, NOT seeing them everyday when you are so used to seeing them, spending time with them, is a very hard thing to try to adjust to.. i'm still trying............... then you get pi**ed when it finally sinks in that it is TRUE,, and there is NOTHING that you can do about it, change it,,, etc..
all you can do is KEEP GOING and appreciate the time with the animals you do have around you and get as many hugs and kisses while you can...
i hope you have a decent day...

[Llamalady]

I'm so sorry Heather... My heart is with you now and always...

[Irish_Lass]

Hope you coped ok today pet. x

[Wiztherewoz]

I was doing fine. But I just heard "Sand and Water" by Beth Nielson, and the tears finally came. Stupid sad songs, making me cry. :( I'm so sad, for Pip and for them all, all of those poor precious creatures, and good people dying all over the place...
Tears won't bring them back, I know, but god my heart could just break to pieces right now.

[Llamalady]

If only tears COULD bring them back.

Rest in Peace sweet Pippapup. You must have made her so happy letting her play and follow you around all day, you were probably her best buddy! I understand your pain I wish I could help you. Love and hugs, Pip x

[Wiztherewoz]

She was everybody's friend. *sad*

[catlady2006]

I'm so sorry for your loss. My parents dog Kenzie passed away last year on my birthday & it was really tough. Rest in peace Pip.

[katiem]
