Soaps.com - MESSAGE BOARDS

We lost our little Lhasa, Lamar, last August-while dealing with his loss I discovered a site at Rainbow Bridge where for $25 a year you can honor your pets memory-like a little virtual cemetery- I registered Lamar and visit him there often-I am in the process of creating a site in his memory on my server-but the Rainbow Bridge site is nice to have while I work on mine-

During the course of getting acquainted with catsmeow(Nancy)I shared the Rainbow Bridge link with her, she thinks I should share it with those of you who are pet lovers, so I am, and that is the reason for this thread-

Some time ago I submitted a photo of Lamar along with his rescue story to a rescue site- they were having a contest and would be picking 10 winners out of the all the entries to be used on their Christmas e-cards this season- I had forgotten all about it- a friend emailed me on Monday
saying she had seen Lamar's picture when she went to do her daily click-I still didn't know what she was talking about so I went to do my click and sure enough there he was- His photo and his story had been chosen as one of the top 10 to be used on the ecards. A very nice tribute to my little man--if any of you animal lovers are interested you can visit the site here- each time you click on the site a percentage is donated to animal rescue-----

wow Gommie your little dog is the first to be represented in the stories and he is so cute. I'm happy to hit on that site to help. Sorry for your loss.

gommie, I've had this site in my bookmarks for months and I go there every day and click. I also buy many products they have to offer knowing that the sponsors are donating the bowls of food. And, I also sent several "Lamar" ecards too. Love that picture of him.

gommie, i am so glad you posted this, it is a great comfort for all of us that have lost our companions

Gommie became a close friend of mine when i was going thru Princes sickness. She reached out to me as did cats meow and helped me cope with the devasting treatments i had to give him and the decision to put him down last week. Both of them are true animals lovers and anyone who loves animals that much is a friend of mine. Thank you gommie for your friendship and sharing the site with others. When yours is done, count me in!

What a nice tribute to your little fellow! Thank you so much for sharing the link with us.

You guys are so kind, thanks so much! Lamar was a very special little man- they all are- I so wish they didn't have to leave us-I am a firm believer in clinging to anything that gives me comfort at times like this-I have a friend who had to get rid of everything that reminded her of her little doxie- I, on the other hand, cling to any reminders- we are all different and we grieve differently as well-I leave a little light on at night for Lamar still- crazy,probably-but it helps me sleep better knowing it is on--

This will be a very hard Christmas for you too Sunny. I am so sorry, but all you can do is grieve through it-

My daughter's dog died today... she had liver damage and lost a lot if weight very rapidly. The only thing that I can think of is her heart worm meds got changed about the time she started to loose weight. But we didn't think much of it at the time b/c we went to a different brand of dog food at the same time that she nor my mom's dog ate real well, but Twinkie was obese, so we were glad she lost some weight. We went back to the brand they were eating and she still was loosing weight. So I think it was the meds, vet doesn't agree. I had to tell her after school today... It sucked.
I don't believe we need to immediately replace her I think we need to grieve a bit... My MIL doesn't agree and she breeds dogs I hope they don't give my kids a puppy for Christmas as ours was a little daschund and she raises bulldogs our fence needs to be fixed before we get anymore animals a tree fell on it during a storm, especially a large dog like that.
