Goodbye.......

Goodbye to our darling 9 1/2 yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Murphy, who after a bravely fought battle with  advanced mitral valve disease was laid to rest on Saturday. He brought much joy into our lives and I'm too sad for words right now....so will be taking a brief break from blogging. 

I'll choose a winner of the giveaway when I'm back with another post, so feel free to still enter (on the previous post) if you would like.
Love to you all......
Janet

I just stumbled upon your blog and I just had to tell you how sorry I am about the loss of your precious Cavalier. I am so sorry! I have two Cavaliers, Bentley and Clarabel. They are the sweetest puppies ever. I adore my furry babies.

Again, my heart hurts for you.

I lost my dog last year to cancer and it was horrible. Im so very sorry for your loss. I believe animals go to heaven, and as my little daughter said about our sweet kami, your dog is probably friends with a giraffe by now.

Brenda ~ Shabby Cats and Roses said...

Janet, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet Murphy ~ you take all the time you need to grieve ~ our beloved pets or more than just, well, pets...they are a most loved member of our families, and when you lose one, you grieve just as much...I know what you are going thru right now, as I lost one of my sweet kitties, Fuzzums, a couple of years ago, and I still miss him very much today. We will all be here when you are ready to come back to blogland :)

Sending you my thoughts and prayers, and a big warm hug to you, Brenda

I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets truly are part of the family and the grief that's felt when they leave us is heart wrenching. I hope in time your pain will be less and your memories of Murphy will bring smiles and comfort.
Blessings & Hugs,
Karen

Janet- Anyone that has ever lost a special pet understands exactly how you are feeling. It is like losing a family member. If you don't know about The Rainbow Bridge please google it- there are a lot of words of comfort in that piece. Hugs to you~ Diana

Janet -

When I lost my sweet little pal, it helped me to write a memorial tribute about him. Along with some treasured memories, I included some of his personality quirks and endearing habits. Maybe that will also help you...?

So very, very sorry for your loss. No words ever seem adequate during such a sad time.

Awww...so sorry for the loss of your sweet Murphy dear Janet. It's so hard to say goodbye to a pet. What a beautiful doggie he was. I know you will miss him. If there is a Pet Heaven he must be there.
Have a good week,

Oh Janet! I am so sorry for your loss. I did loose my Bennie in November and I did find a lot of support in blog land. Few Ladies like Riki and Holly had just lost theirs and we did support each other. I am back with 4 dogs! but it takes a while. Ciao Rita mammabellarte

minify said...

Oh, how I know that feeling. We lost our own sweet old dog in April, and he looked a bit like a bigger version of Murphy (Murphy was beautiful, by the way) http://projectminify.com/2011/03/30/farewell-old-friend/

I love all of your craft posts, but I think it's posts like these that bind us all together as a little blogging community, and make us human. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear old friend.
