we wanted her to live forever – we would have done anything to see her be happy for as long as possible. Two weeks shy of her fifth birthday and three weeks shy of her 6month ampu-versary, she let us know she was tired. We listened. The only regret we have is that we don’t get to have more adventures with her.
Oh I’m so sorry. She was beautiful. As difficult as it was, you gave her the best care and gift you could. My thoughts will be with you.
Ohhhhhh, I’m soooooo very, very, sorry,
This was not the post I expected…not at all.
You never waivered in your commitment to do what was in Yeti’s best interest from Day One. And you didn’t waiver when she needed to help her crossover to the other side of this life. As you said, she let you kow and you listened. She knew you would.
All of her pictures…her delightful, beautiful pictures…showed a joyful and happy Yeti living her life to the fullest! LIVING LARGE!
Using her cuteness to her advantage…..knowng she could get away with laying on the Lilacs and nobody would say no!
Yeti k ew she was loved and knew exactly what she was doing when she picked you as her soulmates on this journey. Just as you felt sooooo privileged to have her in yourlife…she felt just as privileged to have you in hers. Know that to be true. She knew how precious she was to you.
Nothing can ever, ever break the bond you had. Yeti took your love with her and she left her love for you nestled safely in a corner of your heart. Your heart hurts too much to feel her there right now, but she is.
Maybe a few days from now when you can catch your breath…..put yourself in a grounded and centered state…..gently place your hand on your heart. All of the sudden you will become very aware of a special sensation…a special beat of your heart…..yeah, that’s just Yeti settling in letting you know she’s there.
I love the photo you posted today of Yeti being surrounded by your love AND the snow that she loved so much! This photo captures a oneness with you…a contentment from her soul that I hope will sustain you and bring you serenity.
Yeti, your life matters to us. We became your family and your biggest fans. You will NEVER be forgotten here!
I keep going back and look at her photos as I write this and sile tnrough the tears. Those pictures of her running and smiling….a happy, joyful soul!!
Yeah Yeti…you made it here …..Happy Six Month Ampuversary and Happy Birthday! We honor a true hero today and we celebrate a genetle giant.
Please tell us more about Yeti when you can. ‘Would love to hear how she “picked” you…some of her “antics” that made you smile…what ner favorite food was….what she did that made you laugh…..what you did that made you laugh.
And we would love othing more than to see lots and lots of photos of this magnificent soul.
Thank you for allowing us to get to kow this special girl and ner special humans.
Surrounding you with Yeti’s grace and infinite love.
Sally and Happy Hannan
So sorry for your loss beautiful Yeti
I’m so sorry to hear about your beautiful girl. I know you loved her very much. So much, that you let her go when she told you she was ready. That’s the hardest thing in the world to do. Thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way.
Thinking of you during this difficult time. Remember the good times and know you gave her the best life ever.
Take care-
Luanne and Spirit Shooter
My heart aches for you, I’m so very sorry. Yeti was such a sweet, gentle dog, it’s so not right that cancer can steal such a loving soul from our lives. I hope that the adventures you did have together can help you heal as you look back on her life and smile knowing that you were so blessed to have her for t least a little while.
Please accept my condolences, may her spirit shine on in the Tripawds Nation.
My heart aches for you.
Scooter, our Golden, passed on 9/17/13
Bone cancer.
Scooter is now in a wooden box, surrounded by framed pics. He is alive each time I think of him.
My 21 yr old daughter told me she couldn’t get over the loss. She needed another dog. I wasn’t allowed to even mention Scooter around her. She ached with the loss of the dog she grew up with.
I caved and we got Charlie, an Aussiedoodle. He is 4mths old. Such a character and has stolen another part of my heart. It was the best thing I did. I miss Scooter sooo much still. I tell Charlie about Scooter and my daughter talks about how Charlie is like Scooter.
My point is, please leave all options open. I said I needed at least a year to even consider another dog. Scooter would lay his big snout on my knee when I was sad. I was so torn up with grief after his passing. Now, I miss him, I love him. But Charlie is a baby and needs my love and attention. I didn’t replace Scooter. I added another member to our family. There isn’t a “right” time to do anything in our lives.
How wonderful that we had the richness of Yeti and Scooter added to our lives. Their love, their looks of unconditional adoration, their companionship…you listened to your Yeti as I did to Scooter.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Doing everything and then still losing our lovely dogs is such an awful thing. Please take comfort in knowing that she is running free with our other tripawd angels and heros at the Rainbow Bridge. Your time with her was too short but I hope your adventures and memories will live on forever.
Love,
Julie – Super Dog Angel Hunter’s Mom
So very sorry for the loss of your sweet baby.
Run free sweetheart.
So, so sorry to learn of your baby’s passing. May her sweet spirit fly free
We stopped to paw our condolences, soft husky woooos,
RA, Isis & Nanük
too young.. way too young..
The bridge just becamse more beautiful with her arrival…
My heart breaks with you…. I know what you are going through… it tears our heart when they let us know that they are tired and they just want to go play. And it starts a journey that releases them into a pain free world where they will wait for us to join them one day… and our hearts break.
and that is ok.. cause Yeti is still with you… in your heart… and you can feel her… just close your eyes and open your heart… she’ll go wherever you go… always.. nothing can take that away.. not even that nasty “C” word!!
Our hearts break with you.. and we smile when we see her pictures and what a playful soul she was!!!
Franklin now has some competition!!!
Christine…. with Franklin in her heart♥
