IBQLTN2 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 We all do sure love our little fury friends, nothing seems more loyal or more accepting than our pets. I too have lost many over the years due to old age, but losing one so quickly and tragically is heartbreaking. So sorry to hear of your loss. Praying Chugs is in safely chasing butterflies in a much safer place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheri Butler Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Oh Barb..I am so sorry! I know what your going thru. I came home from a vacation to hear mine had been run over by a car too. Had to pick him up in a cardboard box at the humane society..while they said..."please dont open the box." Those lovely little cats and dogs sure find a fast way into our hearts and lives, and they forever stay there. My thoughts are with you. See you in 6 days!

LinneaMarie Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Awwww, I'm so sad for you!! Extra hugs at MQS!! We lost our dog about 10 years ago and I went out about 3 months later and got another German Shepard puppy!! I'm so sorry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Sorry to hear the sad news about Chugs. It is a sad day for you and your boys. I know it isn't the same at all, but even when my hamster died I cried so much (mind you I was 16 at the time) that said, pets are special to us, and when our current hamster dies, I will be crying all day. If we could have a dog (my DH is allergic) we would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm so sorry to hear about Chugs and how you had to find him. Heart hurt big time. May our words and support for you and your grown boys help you through this. You can tell Chug was special and he had a great life with you.

RitaR Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Barb, I'm very sorry you have to go thru this, moreso in having to tell the boys. I am one of the never again people, it just hurts too much, and I hurt enough for people and their situations. May God ease your heart and help you tell the boys..

barbm Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thank you for all the comforting words - and especially the prayers. Yes, he was just a dog, but he was so much more than that. Slept on the bed between us at night, kept the coyotes away (and he was only 25# soaking wet!), went for walks with my DH, announced visitors, tore through the house looking for us when he'd come in from his travels - he was what made being alone tolerable for me, when my DH would have to spend months away. I'm better this morning, somewhat - my DH is on a plane home. So we will grieve together, and together we'll find a way to tell our boys. Last night would have been unbearable without the solace of this group, so my thanks come from my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Barbara, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 2 Saint Bernards within two months of each other, it took me 4 years before I could think about adopting another dog. Animals bring so much to our lives. I can't believe that who ever hit her didn't even have the decency to stop. Dianne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyllis Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Oh Barb, I'm so sorry for the loss of your Chugs. There is no such thing as "just a pet"...they become a member of the family. Hugs to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carreen Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 How do we get so attached to these little darling balls of fur?? I have the ashes of my lost ones sitting on top of the grand piano and talk to them everyday. I'm so sorry for your loss. Carreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSewSimple Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I will say a prayer for you. Animals are a part of many families and play a major role. Mine do. I just believe God put them here to warm our laps and our hearts. I pray you will one day find another one that you can love as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisalnewman Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Barb, I am so sorry. I totally understand your loss. My Rotti died this summer. He took a piece of my heart with him. I am tearing up just writing about it. Do not ever underestimate your loss of a dog, who else loves you unconditionally but your dog. Chugs will be greatly missed but when your heart is ready it will heal by loving another. Although it is not the same, my new pup has given me the chance to open my heart up once again. I will forever miss my Rotti and he could never be replaced but I know I am a better person for having him in my life. So if you ever need to talk or vent in an email please do not hesitate. I get it. Lisa:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thank you, Lisa - I'm tearing up, too:(:( But my DH (who flew home this morning to be with me) and I are already talking about a new pup (or two), maybe as early as this summer. Chugs gave us too much love and enjoyment to let that be missing for very long. A bummer, though - with all this, I have completely lost enthusiasm for the quilt I was working on for the MQS Audacious Auction - guess it'll have to wait until next year. Can't see through the tears to quilt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Barb, I feel I need to chime in again on this subject. In August 2000 I lost "Happy" the joy of my life (in the doggie world). We got a new puppy in Oct. We got the same breed (Lhasa Apso). Well, although I knew better and tried to avoid it, I compaired "Daisy" to Happy. It was wrong of me. Daisy is so darned sweet but she is NOT Happy. I could have avoided this by getting a different breed. Just think about this before you select the next love of your life. Good luck in your selection. I hope he/she will fill the hole in your heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
