It has now been twelve days since Murphy passed away. He was my very best friend and most loyal companion, and I know that because we both cherished each other so fully in life, that I am able to heal a lot easier than I thought I would. Maya and Moses have been a HUGE help and I am so lucky and thankful that they were, and are, here.

 

Maya was the baby of the group, and acted as such. She still chewed on things, barked incessantly, jumped up on everyone, wasn't trusted alone…

Dear Murphy,

It’s been 8 days since you passed away, and I still can’t believe you are gone. I am having a hard time accepting the fact that you aren’t within reach. That you aren’t pointing your fuzzy butt at me. That you aren’t laying on the wood floor to cool off. That if I put down the laptop screen, you won’t be there smiling at me down by my feet. I miss you. I never thought I could miss someone so much.

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I wish I would have been…

I don't even know how to describe how empty I feel. I came home from work to find my baby Murphy (4 years old.. just described in a forum as my heart baby) had suffocated in an empty bag of Doritos.. his favorite snack. A careless item left out while we were gone.



It's been about 4 hours.. and the shock and disbelief are blocking the way of grieving. How could this HAPPEN? We just moved to our new house in December and hadn't gotten a chance to formally introduce ourselves to the… Continue

Today, we lost one of the best dogs I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. 

 

 

His name was Buddy, and he was a Golden Retriever.  I’ve known him and his family since I was 13 years old—that’s a good 8 years.  Before meeting him, I was deathly afraid of dogs.  I was bit by a Golden when I was little; I deserved it.  I was bothering her puppies. …

Do you find it hard when your corgi passes away? Well think about this for a minute.

 

When I was little I had a corgi named Nosey, my first dog ever. He was attached to me the most out of my family. Around when he was 4 years old he got sick and we took him to the vet. The first day they said he had a stomache virus, the second day they said he had a disease; Addisons Disease. Transferring him to a vet hospital he died on my lap on the way there, but he was in his sleep…

I posted last month when the cat that I had left behind when I moved was euthanized.

I had also left behind a dog, Toby, 14 years old. He was a Sheltie/Collie mix. Such a sweetheart!

My parents went to Belize for my aunt's wedding, and while they were gone Toby was apparently not eating at all. He usually didn't eat as much when my parents were gone, but this time he hardly ate anything for the week. When my parents got back home he still wasn't eating, and then he lost the use of his… Continue
