ARUBA: It's all about Natalee...we won't give up!


« Reply #860 on: April 02, 2011, 03:16:09 PM »

Some of you may remember my Blondie, our blonde lab that I accidentally backed over last summer.  I'm thankful today that she fully recovered from that accident and that we were blessed with many more months of her sweet presence.  She started having seizures a few weeks ago and when they became frequent we had to put her on medicine to control them.  In a few days the seizures subsided but other problems became more apparent, and were getting worse.  She was suffering, struggling to breathe at times...she couldn't get up on her own anymore...and eventually became incontinent.  Although it broke our hearts to do it, we took her in and with all of her humans that loved her around her...she was put to sleep this past week.  It was one of the hardest things my DH and I have ever had to decide to do, but we couldn't bear to see her suffer any longer.  She was absolutely the sweetest girl ever, she was a mother figure to the rest of our fur babies...she loved them all unconditionally...as she did all of us. 

We are all so sad...we loved her and miss her so much; but will always be thankful to have been blessed with her in our lives.

I stand with the girl, Natalee Holloway.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

I'm sorry to hear that Blondie passed on, Texasmom.  Our furry friends are part of our family; it hurts to see them go.

Thank you so much grace-land, I'd read about the Rainbow Bridge before and the video was beautiful!  When I had to say my goodbye to Blondie, one of the things I told her was that I would see her there when my time comes.

So true LEP, we've lost some too over the years and it is always so hard.  Blondie was an outside dog for the most part.  But as she got older and we could tell that she couldn't see and hear as well, we started bringing her inside at night...or if the weather was bad.  DH would let her out in the mornings, or if it was too cold or wet...I would let her out at lunch.  We'd been doing that so long that I don't even remember how long ago we started that, but she liked that arrangement.  She loved sleeping in the sun, and wondering around all over the place out here; and when she was inside you would have thought she was an inside dog!

I know that no matter how they go, it's hard.  This was the first time that we had to make the decision so that there would be no more suffering, and right now it seems harder than when we've lost others.  I don't know if it will always feel that way... 

Your babies are getting older, and their day will come.  You've been blessed with many good years of companionship with them, and all you can do is show them how much you love them every day.  I know that Blondie knew we loved her, without a doubt...but missing her is still so hard right now.

LEP  I am so sorry to read about your sister. I just read you post as I just got back last night from Washington and my sisters services. Prayers to you and you sister. I understand how hard it is.  an angelic monkey
Thank you for the kind words.
I am glad u r home safe and sound.
NOT a way for a vacation, huh ?

Hi Green Eyes,

I am very sorry to hear about your sister. Her goodness and good deeds will live on.  I will say a prayer tomorrow when I go to Church.

I am sending a song, because this song always makes me feel better.

"This to me is Love" by the Dubs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnGQgbb_Als

Seahorse

Thank You Seahorse  What a lovely song.  an angelic monkey      I have always liked the Dubs.

Here is a song my son ask to be played at my sisters service Alan Jackson Sissys Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCvgXw-Bh04

Thank-you Green Eyes,

I replayed Sissy's Song, a few times. Thank-you for the link. The song is soothing and bittersweet.  If it was not for Adam and Eve, we all would live forever. We do live forever in everything we do and say, especially on the internet. 

A neighbor passed on (few months ago) and her husband donated a box of Swan's cake flour to a food bank. I remarked that the Mrs. will live on when someone bakes a cake.  I hope he understood that.

Thank you mymonkey, an angelic monkey you said something that I really needed to hear again.  My head knows it but my heart hasn't quite gotten the message yet.  It just hurts.   


This seems to be one of the hardest parts of the day, when the sun is going down and it would be time for her to come in.  I happened to check in here and it meant so much to me to see the hugs and kind thoughts from all of you. 

Thank you all again...so much!    an angelic monkey

TM, my heart goes out to you! It's like loosing a family member and I know how hard it is! Thank you for posting the picture. You can see the love and sweetness in her eyes. I know she felt the love of the family every day of her life, and when it was time, you didn't fail her by keeping her. You let that love lead you to do the best thing for her. It was a very unselfish thing to do. Heartfelt hugs, TM!
