1. Through the tears, I thank you.... this means so much

Though I still have my beloved doggy girl, Tallulah for a while longer, I know her time is limited and I treasure every moment with this precious gift of unconditional love. May all who have lost their treasures this year be comforted by what they brought to your life and when the time is right, please honor them by opening your heart to another.

All my love to the animal lovers and caretakers of DU (and the world). :loveya:

2. Very nice, 48, very nice.

Lost two of my buddies this year; Dottie, the bouvier, and Sinbad, the parrot. Both were sudden and unexpected.

Going to go give the rest of my animal family a hug. They give so much, and expect so little in return.

:hug:

24. aw...

:( :hug:

3. Such a sweet, sweet tribute to so many friends...

My condolences to all who lost a friend this year.

[Nevilledog]

4. Thank you so much 48percenter

My husband and I were very moved by your tribute. You are very special.

5. :(

I lost my KC this past week. She was the best animal/cat I've ever had the privilege of owning. She's a house cat and got outside while I was at work, and her kidneys failed on her three weeks later when we found her dying in our backyard. We looked just about daily and called for her, but to no avail. I think she came home when she got sick, but it was too late.

11. I'm so sorry.

Tears will leave no stain.
Time will heal the pain.
For every life that fades
Something beautiful remains.

6. very...

sweet tribute, beautiful music.

[Eurobabe]

8. putting the music

with the pictures is ALWAYS the part that makes me grab a tissue. :cry: :cry:

I feel lucky to make these tributes, to honor (as livvy so aptly put it) those who give so much and expect so little in return.

[mt13]

9. thanks!

it is so hard to lose a pet, they are such a part of us. and you are correct, the images to the music does make one weepy.

[motely36]

7. Thank you for this

It's amazing how attached we grow to our pets.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. I can't watch...too emotional

thank you----- we love them so much, they're such a connection to our hearts.

Lost my 11 yr old Pom, TeenyBeanieWeenie in April, suddenly and unexpectedly. Yet, there was a noticeable something, a feeling, during the month or two before she left, and our lives were in a big transition.

Well, bit of a long story, but the point is, there were synchronicities.
I still love her so much....so very special, my little silly baby. :cry:

[Muttocracy]

25. ...

35. Hi Joe, thanks, same to you---

here's a pic of her:

[Muttocracy]

37. aw, what a smile

I'm a "big dog" person in general but I've liked every Pomeranian and Pom mix I've met a lot - they're sled dogs in a more convenient size :)

[PatSeg]

12. How sweet

My condolences to all who lost a dear friend this year.

[robinlynne]

13. Thank you so much. I will save this forever. It somehow feels so good to have a memorial

to such a great love in our lives.
Thank-you.

[applegrove]

14. Very nice of you to put this together. Rip little guys.

[pipi_k]

15. I'm sorry, I just can't

watch the video. I'm afraid that if I do, I'll start crying and never stop.

Both for my own pain and for the pain of others who have lost beloved friends.

I lost my Puppy Sarge November 14, 2008...her 12th birthday. She was a beautiful red and black German Shepherd with just the sweetest personality I've ever seen on any dog.

It was sudden and unexpected, and relatively quick. I miss her so much and I can't yet look at any photos of her. Again, because I'm afraid I'll start crying and never stop.


I also have two other old doggies, Amy and Samantha.

Amy is a black Lab with lots of tumors on her. Too many to remove safely, although at this point she doesn't appear to be in any pain and is eating and sleeping and acting normally. She's 12 1/2 years old.

Samantha is a sable German Shepherd who is 13 1/2 years old. She is deaf, losing her eyesight, and gradually losing the ability to walk.

I don't believe that either one of them will be with us next winter. If either makes it through this winter I'll be very surprised.


When they're gone, I don't know what Mr Pip and I will do. I grew up always having some pet or another. But it seems the older I get, the harder it is to recover from their loss. They're like my children.

Anyway, thank you for this thread.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to anyone else who has loved and lost a furry (or feathered or whatever) friend.

[Muttocracy]

26. oh, that must be extra hard having them all so close in age

:hug:
I knew a woman who adopted one senior dog after another. I am so fond of my getting-senior-though-I'm-in-denial dogs that I think about my next dog being a senior. But then I think about the situation you're in and I don't know how strong I'd be.

[jgraz]

16. Sadly, I have one more to add :(

Our dear kitty Kafka, who lost her battle with cancer over Christmas.

Here she is a couple of days before she left us. Even after 17 years of life and 2 months fighting cancer, she still looked and acted like a kitten.

[Lavender Brown]

32. Beautiful kitty

I'm so sorry jgraz... :hug: My kitty (Bella) was the same, she was just like a kitten even though she was 19.

[faulknercindy]

17. I lost my baby at the age of 12 in 2004

He was a Rottweiler named Buster, my best bud. You never get over that loss.

[DainBramaged]

18. Picasso and Corey my Bullie two days apart July 12 & 14

It still hurts terribly.

:cry:

And my big guy Buddah I lost on December 27 of 2007. 2008 really sucked.

[Muttocracy]

27. oh, condolences and wishes for a better year to come

do you have any furry friends at home now?

[DainBramaged]

36. My 11 year old cat Coco and my kitten Lilly

But I miss my dogs. First time in over 35 years I am dogless. :cry:

[vt_native]

19. A moving tribute...

Here's one more, my beloved Ace (named after Ace Frehley, the Spaceman) who passed on labor day weekend.
Always in my heart...

[Muttocracy]

28. gorgeous photo... our condolences

[life long demo]

20. BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL

Thank you for the beautiful video. My sympathies to all who lost their furry friends this year. From someone who is owned by my mixed beagle, Skippy and cat, Miss Kitty, and many more who are waiting at the Rainbow bridge. God bless you all for opening your heart and home to your friends. They were loved.

Pippin and I miss our Atticus Pye so much. I still can't believe that he's gone.

[yellerpup]

38. Thanks you for this loving tribute.

We adopted two adult shelter cats this year, and are so happy to be steeped in kitty trust and affection again. My condolences to all who lost their dear furry, feathery, or finny friends.

[StarryNite]

39. What a beautiful and thoughtful tribute

to our furry family members. Sadly my 19 year old kitty, Toonces, died on Oct. 4, 2008. I miss her every, single day. Here is a picture of her that was taken about a year ago...

[mikeytherat]

40. Thank you for doing this. I still can't believe Tate is gone.

A new adoption did, however, come into the house over Thanksgiving weekend - Harry (Weird Harold):

41. What a nice memorial to all our departed friends.

I lost my cat Max in November 2002. He was 16 years old. I still think of him almost every day.

I have two cats now, one from a shelter and another that was rescued from an abusive home. I love them both, and cherish every moment I can with them. Their time here with us is too short, no matter how old they live to be.
