Pet Photos thread where too much is never enough.

[arewethereyet]

@Nay_Sayer I am so very sorry.  I am all too familiar with the loss of a beloved pet.  It doesn't matter if you know it's coming soon or if it's a surprise...it's a pain that leaves a hole in your heart, your life, and your home.

Good on ya for planning to adopt another dog.  You have the love to give and that dog needs you.

Appreciate it. 

The hardest part was the last 2-3 weeks sudden weight loss, developing a bad limp, poor bladder control and she had gone blind.  If she hadn't passed in her sleep I would have had her put down.

2 days ago I got back her ashes in a very beautiful wood-carved box. Kudos to the Vet, I assumed it was just going to be a decorative tin container.

I have the ashes of three dogs and now our African Grey in small wooden boxes.  I have them set up with photos of each pet.  The dogs' first collars are displayed too as is Karma's Deaf Dog collar she wore later in life.  The vet tried to get the ankle band off of Chewy but couldn't cut through it, so I saved her very favorite thing in all the world...her bell.

I see Ziggy's eyebrows getting frosted and hate what's to come.  

They work their way into your life and your heart and take a piece of you when they leave.  But it's still worth it.
