Hey guys....

Shed a lot of tears today. I'll be ok for short periods of time, then start thinking about Lizzie and how I won't have any more new memories with her and it starts to hurt again.

What I am ok with is that I know I gave her a good life. I know I couldnt have loved her any more than I did. And i am certain she knew all of this. But I just can't wrap my brain around the fact that she's gone. It all happened so so fast.

I do agree with you Wease. I think the prayers were answered. Lizzie never did well with car rides. Taking her into a vet's office to have her put down just wouldnt have been the best way for her to go....not in my eyes, and not in her's. The fact that she went so quickly and so peacefully was a good thing....even though it's hard for the one's she left behind. The great thing about Lizzie was she touched the lives of the people she knew. If you were one of "her people," you certainly were lucky. I just happened to the luckiest of the lucky.

I know I still have many more tears to shed over the coming days, but that's the selfish side of me that knows she's gone now. The big heart inside of me knows that things are ok for her and that the time we had together was 100% wonderful. Thanks for listening (or reading) all my rambles guys. I consider you all family and this is certainly the place for me to share my feelings. Thanks again.

Bart


PS......Pistachios sound awesome Wease :) That's really nice of you.

Thanks for letting all of us know Lizzie for a short time. She was fortunate to have you and you did everything you could.

I know it's tough but hang in there.

Very sorry to hear bud, he did your best and were willing to go the extra mile for your dog. Not only were you blessed to have her, she was also to have you. Many of us here have dogs and will be in tears when this happens to us. Thanks for sharing your story. Hopefully one day you will spring for another and give some much needed pet a great home.

Sorry about your loss Bart. Every day for the last week or so I've been reading your updates and praying for a turn around to Lizzies health. Cancer is a nasty mutherfuker, wish God would give us a cure.
I remember that ride to the vet 2 years ago, tears running down my face, first time my wife had seen me cry in our 15 years together. One of the worst days in my life.
Bart you'll met up with Lizzie again at "THE RAINBOW BRIDGE"
Rest in Peace Lizzie.

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Deucer, you really said how I feel best in your first couple of sentences. Cancer is indeed a real motherfucker. Sometimes the hurt comes out as anger....towards what took her away. But then I try to calm myself down and remember all the good times she and I had together.

I broke down before bed last night because I always take her for a nighttime walk. I ended up going by myself, taking the path that she and I would normally take. I realized how much I missed being led by her, hearing the little taps of her toenails on the pavement, having her look back at me....i think you get the point. I think what i am finding out about all of this is I really did treat her more as my child than my pet. And a lot of the emptiness i feel is I don't have her here to take care of anymore. That's where a lot of the hurt comes from.

So waking up this morning was really hard. it took me a matter of 2 seconds to realize that she wasn't there waiting for me. It's storming here this morning too. She'd normally be curled up nice and tight beside me because she got nervous from the thunder.

Can't stop the tears. God this is just hard.
