Your Pet Tributes

My baby died on March 31st... and I am lost without her. I truly believe the angels sent her to me 9 years ago and now I am lost and can't understand what I did to make them take her from me. I am heartbroken. I have had dogs before but they've never effected me like Tippy did. She was like my child in every sense of the word. We did everything together and she frequently gave me hugs - real pull you in hugs.

Tippy got cancer. They said I might get 2 months if we did chemo. My gut, my heart told me not to do that to her but selfishly I agreed in hopes it would extend her time with me. I'm so sorry. I feel like I let her down. I read a quote which said 'I will miss you as long as it takes to find my tears in the ocean'.

She lived each day with such joy and gratefulness. She even wagged her tail when she got a drink of water. She was all I had. She was my best friend. I don't let people close to me, I've been hurt too many times, but I told her everything and I know she loved me as much as I loved her.

I know people think you should just grieve and then get another dog, and I know someday I will because there are so many that need homes... but I know I will never get over her or find another like her. She was that once in a lifetime companion.

I love you and miss you terribly baby.
