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- |

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 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! |

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-- |

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. grits, i hope you dont mind me saying but i think its possible the vet is right...when Prince got sick (kidney failure) he started to lose weight also...i was doing the injections (dialosis) to try to keep him alive but he just kept losing weight....when i had to put him down last week the vet said he was emaciated....i looked it up on the internet and one of the symtoms of emaciation (extreme weight loss) was due to organ failure....i just wanted to let you know what i found out....sorry about your daughters doggy. |
