My precious Punky

[complik8td]

I am deeply sorry for your loss :-(. I know exactly how you feel having lost a few pets in my life thus far. Currently, we have four toy breed dogs. The oldest, Cory, has been seeing a cardiologist for the past 5 years, as he has an enlarged heart. My husband spends a small fortune on Cory's meds, doctor visits, and routine tests. Cory will be 15 in June, if he makes it that far. :-(. It's been rough going for him lately and both hubby and I worry about him all the time. Cory is very special, as he is our 1st toy breed, and he's the eldest. He's always been the favorite of any house guests we've had too. He's such a cute and lovable creature! I treasure each day we have with him. Hang in there, and hold tight to the beautiful memories that Punky left with you. (((hugs)))

loss of a pet

I am sorry for your loss. In December of 2010, I lost my dog to bone cancer. It took her very quickly...two months from the intial diagnosis. I cried and cried for several months over it. Every now and then I still tear up when I think about her. I had her for over ten years from the time she was a two month old puppy. This poem gave me some comfort back then and I hope it helps you too.

@hrcfitness -- After I lost my dog to cancer I started wondering why. There are a lot theories out there that cancer is on the rise for domesticated pets and people due to the preservatives in the food we are eating. With my new dog, I am very picky about what he eats because I don't want him to suffer like my last dog did. No creature deserves to die in such pain like she was in...I feel sorry for you too because your cat probably went through a similiar experience.

Between the poem you posted & the one I posted I can not stop crying, both so beautiful. I too do not understand the rise of cancer in our pets. All my animals are on the healthiest brands of dog & cat food I can buy.

Tracy,
Your post gave me such of wave of heartache that it took me a while to be able to respond to you. When my niece was about 4 years old, she told me that cats and dogs are angels on earth and they tell God how we treated them when they go back to heaven. I have often reflected on that innocent observation and have felt sorry for people who think their pets are nothing more than soul-less entities . I know that when Punky reported back about you it was with a heart full of love and devotion.
I'm so, so sorry for how much you must be hurting right now. I hope that you have many fond memories to quiet your grieving heart and let you know that it is all part of the priviledge that comes with loving another spirit.

Thank y'all so much for understanding and responding to my broken heart. I am still trying to recover and I still do goofy things like talk to and kiss Punky's picture. Today I painted a silohoutte and instead of it being black and white, I did it in black and blond, the color of his coat. I also included a silohoutte of three of his favorite toys. I texted a picture of it to DH who got choked up looking at it so I guess it turned out pretty good. It brought me a lot of comfort to make it. Now to find the perfect space on the wall. Thanks again for the lovely poems, kind words and big hugs.
