Shannon has gone to the Rainbow Bridge

[Shannon's Mom]

Thanks, Sue. I remember your pets. We go back to my Noodles. My brother took me out today to get me out of the house. I just walk around the house crying and wishing Shannon was still here. But in my heart I know she was not doing well and is now no longer in pain. I will miss her forever and it's those little lapses of memory when I look in my bed for her or remember it's pill time that my heart breaks. Like I said, My head knows the truth but my heart won't accept it. It will take a lot of time. I'm greatful to those saying we will be together in eternity. There has to be pets in Heaven.

Karen, Tina and Cleo, I am so sorry you are also going through this. So many on the forum losing their babies. I wish we could all be happy and feel our pets around us and the comfort they offer. Shannon was my only kitty and it is so lonely without her but I hope she can forgive me and wait for me. I loved her so and will forever love her.

Cleo, I can relate to your grandmother visiting you. I was also close to my grandmother. She raised me. I have seen her in dreams when at a low point. I remember when she was dying and she told me the beautiful lady, waiting in the corner, had come to take her home. I saw no one in the corner but knew she believed and prayed to the Blessed Mother and I always thought that was who she saw in the corner. So I will say a prayer that all of us find peace and solace in our memories. I thank God all of you are out there for me and for Shannon. Thank you so much.

I would just like to include a quote from Will Rogers:

"If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went."

Of course, this applies to all our babies. Heaven would not be Heaven without them and not a place I would want to be.

AMEN!

I can't imagine a Heaven without animals. All the animals will get along. I hope I'll be able to cuddle with lions and tigers, play with bunnies, and have all my furbabies with me again.

I have to admit, this thread has made me miss my puppers a lot. Leah was my first Sheltie and she was a total love. I lost her in 1989 at almost 15 years old. Mickey - my heart dog, was next - gone in 2003 at almost 16. Angel - my sweet Rescue drowned in 2007. I will never know how old she was, but she was probably at least 13 or 14. I will never forgive myself for what happened to her. I miss them all so much.

Oh, Karen, I'm so sorry to make you relive your losses. My dog passed 25 years ago and I miss her still. There were others before her and they are also in my heart. Noodles, my first cat, died in 1999 of cancer. That same year I took in Shannon. Now losing Shannon has been excruciating because I think I may have missed symptoms and let her down in the end. Shannon has been under care since 2006 with thyroid, heart disease, chronic renal failure and arthritis. We had beaten all the odds and she was in excellent condition at 20. To lose her to a clot or stroke was cruel. To think she may have injured her head in a fall causing a clot makes it even more devastating. I will never get over her loss.

Just checking in and sending a round of hugs to everyone!

Peg, I hope I can get your photos of beautiful Shannon posted on here. Seeing her sweet face brings tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you got these photos taken.



Peg, the second picture is very small. I tried to enlarge it but it got blurred. I'm no computer geek. I opened it in Google Documents and it looks nice. I'm putting a link to the picture below. I hope it works for everyone.

I've been thinking about and sending prayers for you and the others here who have lost your babies.

Take care, everyone.

Oh my Shannon is beautiful!! Is she a dilute tortie/torbie? She looks like she has the same coloring as my precious Willow

I have pics of Willow posted in my thread link above...it hurts to look at them still. I miss her so much. I went to see my grandson today and he brought a smile to my face, but I cried the entire way home (and it's a 2 hour drive) because I just couldn't bear coming home to no Willow. I still keep re-living that night/morning over and over...it hurts so much still...

Sue, the link didn't work..

[Sue and Kids]

Tina, I was afraid the link might not work. Peg had sent me these pictures of Shannon last Christmas. I'll scan the small photo into my computer, send it to PhotoBucket and post it here.

Your Willow is so beautiful. What a dear. Sometimes we wonder how we will get through another day without our angels and everyday life feels like a prison sentence.

I'm so sorry about Willow. (((((((Hugs)))))))
