The same thing hap...Dear Amanda...I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me. I came home to find that Sheppy passed in his bed. I even got on the floor and touched him and called his name thinking he was in a deep sleep. He had not been sick. I was all by myself and did not know what to do. Needless to say I was beside myself. As I sit here crying from your message and Jack's reply I just have to say it will be 5 months on April 17 since he passed. I also lost my beloved Max the year before. For me the grief has not subsided. I wish u the best and will keep u in my prayers and thoughts.

We ...I think Allie waited for me to return to her. We had to take her to the er vet on Friday. They thought they knew what was wrong and could treat her. Sunday morning they called us with sad news. We rushed to her and she collapsed as soon as I touched her...I held her while the vet helped her go. She waited for me. For us, that was right. Hugs to all of you. It has only been 8 days. I miss her with all my heart.

Jack has helped me replace those memories with the good 17 years God gave me with him.always stay open to all the signs they give us to let us know its not goodbye.

How quickly the pain can leave when you speak to us and be replaced with acceptance and peace..At least for a little while it seems. I don't know the specific pain Amanda feels as I had to make a sudden decision to let the ER vet who I had never met before help Harley pass when it was his time. I do believe God speaks to us through miracles like you that have the gift of words that makes sense where there seems to be none.
