I am so glad to find another furbaby lover here! It was so hard to lose my Sam after almost 16 years, he was the only constant I had in my life. I got him after my first husband and I got married. We divorced and I got remarried. We divorced (again!) and I got remarried for a third (and final!!!) time. Sam had a wonderful daddy for the last 3 years and I am so glad he did. My dh misses him too.
Sam had a heating pad in his dog bed when he was a little puppy but it didn't last long. The second night he got in his dog bed with it, he noticed it had a cord. He chewed on it until there was nothing left - I have no idea how he didn't get a heck of a shock, because the wires were exposed. He was quite a character!! I got a mini daschund about a month after he passed away because I started having cardiac trouble when he died. I started having bigeminy and runs of v tach, and also labile HTN. I'm sure most of it was just a coincidence, but it was just awfully strange that it happened the month of his death and after. My weinie dog, Sissie, has helped me so much, I wasn't trying to replace Sam by any means, no one could replace him, ever! but, she has helped me in a lot of ways.
About 2 weeks ago, we lost another furbaby, Shadow. She was about 10, and was an adopted doggie from the animal shelter. Part German shepp, part rottweiler, she looked fierce, but I had her spoiled and completely rotten. We did bury her, and we have her a very nice spot right by one of the trees she loved to nap under. I still miss her so much. Some days are easier, but some are harder. Guess it just takes time.

My beloved Nova died Nov 6th. I'm still devastated. Her death has been more painful than any human death I've experienced. It's so hard to lose our animals.
I had her cremated and I also had all her paw prints done at the same time. I have them in my family room in a pretty cabinet along with her pic and a doggie toy. I wanted her to always be with my family so where we go she goes. I'll have her buried with me one day.
anne, i love your stories about sam , he was quite the funny boy !! i feel as if i know him. yes i love all fur babies!! i am sorry to hear about shadow, he is with sam now playing in the sun on the nice green grass !! i'm sure they have seen kizzykat , at the rainbow bridge. it's so hard to get over our babies who have passed on. i am glad to hear sissie is doing okay. does she look for sam and shadow? lydia my maine coon looks for kizzy all the time, she looks at kizzy's ashes alot. they were togther for 10 years. lydia is 4 years younger than kizzy.
sounds like sam stuck with you through thick and thin. arn't fur babies great? i am glad you have sissie, no she's not a replacment for sam. never .. sam will always be with you . but i'm sure he's happy you have sissie to love.
i am trying to adopt, a little black and white kitten for lydia. i think kizzy would want me to save a life. but i will never forget kizzy. how are your heart problems? is everything okay? please keep me posted on how you are doing. i love animals they are close to God. they were put here for us to love and be loved back. i think animals are angels on earth.

batman , i am so sorry for your loss of nova. i understand your pain , kizzy died dec 17th and i am devastated still.. just like you and anne. i send you hugs and prayers. it's so hard i know , i still cry when i think of kizzy or see her heating pad or her picture. it's hard to believe they are gone. lydia still looks for kizzy , i do to.
i'm glad you have nova's paw print and memorial. you will never forget your sweet boy and he is still with you. i'm sure he leaves the rainbow bridge to come see you. i know kizzy comes to me. i feel her and dream about her. nova is with kizzy and shadow and sammy and they are healthy and running . i truly believe we will see them again.
i'm so glad you posted and told me about nova and anne with shadow and sammy. you are not alone . if you need me i am here. there are so many animal lovers on this site that helped me through my loss. :redbeathe:heartbeat:heartbeat

Yaes, my dh and I both want to be cremated and flown to Cozumel and be scattered at our favorite beach. It's so beautiful there. I told Brian I want to have Sam and Sissie's ashes taken there with us also.
I'm like you, it is harder on me to lose an animal than it is to lose a human, that is what I've felt at least.

Yes, that is where my hubbie and I have been the most relaxed and happy. It is beautiful and I love to feel the hot sun and salty air in my face. It is like a paradise!

yes i had kizzy cremated. the reason i had kizzy cremated is the same reason you had sammy cremated. i didn't want to move and leave kizzy here alone. i can bring her with me where ever i go. i know she is safe. i have a memorial by the fireplace , she loved sleeping by the fireplace. i have a open area by the fireplace and i have her ashes, and her pawprint and tuft of fur there with her picture when she was healthy. it's nice and cozy right the way she liked it. i still have her heating pad on my bed. it's only been a month so i use her heating pad . she loved that heating pad on the bed. i think of her all the time when i see it.
it's so hard to loose our babies. but they are with us, and they are playing in the warm sun beyond the rainbow bridge. they are waiting for us !! let me know how you are doing !! :redbeathe:heartbeat
