RIP Daisy. Our wee girl lost her fight yesterday.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

Her heart finally gave out on her. What a sweet, gentle heart it was. She was eleven, and the vet told us last year that she wouldn't survive the summer. She never did listen if it didn't suit her. Sleep well, my good girl.




From a few years ago. That smile.

Thank you for all the sharing you do…you may not know this but your weekly

So now, I cry with you…but we both know how much more our life meant with our
sweet fur babies in it.

[WinstonSmith4740]

51. So very sorry, SCE.

One of the toughest things about loving our "fur kids" is the fact that we outlive them. But I'm sure her tail was wagging as she trotted right over The Rainbow Bridge and is happily running around with her new friends. Take care of yourself.

[Autumn]

Gods speed Daisy.

[CTyankee]

61. It took me YEARS to get over Marvy Dog's death...

I know whereof you speak...but it does get better. You don't think it will, but it does. Remember what Joe Biden said, "The day will come when the thought of your loved one will bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye."

My heart goes out to you. I've been there...

55. I know she was loved, and so did she!

[secondvariety]

56. Beautiful girl...

Sorry for your loss.

[Moral Compass]

57. So very, very sorry for your loss

Daisy looks like a Maltese (although forgive me is she was a Bichon) one of the sweetest breeds I've ever encountered. Unfortunately, unlike most small breeds, they don't live that long.

We adopted a Maltese named Alec some years ago from a family that decided they had too many dogs. He instantly became our dog that night. It was like we'd always had him. He used to sleep with his head on my pillow. But he was my wife's dog first and foremost. She adored him and he adored her.

Around 11 his esophagus started to collapse and at the age of 12 it did collapse. He was in agony and couldn't even lie down. He just coughed continually. Sometime that long, long night he had a heart attack. We had to have him put to sleep.

We still miss him every day. He had an incredible personality. He would enter the room like Kramer from Seinfeld...coming in a rush and then skidding to a stop while looking at you expectantly. Expecting what I never knew, but you always knew he had come into the room.

I know your Daisy was special and precious. I'm glad you had the time with her that you had. And I'll grieve with you for your loss. I understand.

[spooky3]

[Systematic Chaos]

81. Such a cute little dog! I'm genuinely sorry for your loss.

I lost my Marmie-cat about 3 years ago, and I still get all emotionally fucked up about it sometimes. It is painful beyond belief to lose a pet if you're really sensitive to animals.

[pacalo]

82. ...

I'm sure that you gave her a good life & she knew she was loved.

[catbyte]

83. Oh, SCE, I am so very sorry about your precious Daisy. I can hardly type from the tears.

[Dogtired]

93. So sorry for you loss

It is to me as difficult to lose a pet as any member of a family. It is a hurt and loss like none other. Thank you for loving and treating your girl well. As your heart heals in time, please rescue another dog or animal and pay it forward, it will help you and the one out there that needs a home and the love you can give them.

We lost our little dog Leo last May and it still hurts. It gets a little easier as time goes on and the sweet memories he gave us will live on forever

[lastlib]

105. very sorry, Salmon. Losing a little four-legger always leaves a hole....

No doubt Daisy was a very special pooch who was fortunate to have the love of a devoted two-legger. Think of her fondly as being in a better place now, where there is no suffering.

[lavenderdiva]

106. I'm so very very sorry for your loss

Peace to you and Crystal, and all who knew Daisy.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. As a fellow animal lover we know what those tears mean when a beloved friend goes over the Rainbow Bridge.

...I guess it's only fair to bring a few tears, this time.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss, SCE, but so incredibly happy that your little girl had such a wonderful family and home - and you will have her and her brothers and sisters in your hearts, forever! Hugs, my friend.

[anniebelle]

138. What a sweet little girl.

So sorry! Through my tears, I write this. I know, having suffered many loses over the years, that time is the only relief you will get. They are such a part of our lives, it seems like a vacuum when they're gone.

I hope Daisy will run into your arms at the bridge.

There is an Indian legend which says:
"when a human dies, there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of this bridge awaits every animal the human encountered during their lifetime...
The animals, based upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away"....

My furry child is battling renal failure. He was a Katrina rescue and was 8-10 years old and I have had him over 9 years. I don't want to cross the rainbow bridge too soon, but we are as prepared as we can ever be.

I hope Daisy went peacefully and painlessly.

[toby jo]

157. I'm thinking of Black Molly, the ugliest dog I ever adopted, roached back

& all....

But christ did she have a smile on her :0

The day I brought her home she lit up and cracked a grin and never let the damn thing go til the day she died.

Some pups just have that expression that lights them up and talks to the world all day long. Your Daisy brings it to mind....

I'll never forget the smile of my Molly.

Peace to you both, Salmon, and to little Crystal, too.

What a beautiful girl, that Daisy.

[WoodyD]

171. So sorry

We just have to love them and enjoy them for the time we have them.

“I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race; for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?"

- Sir Walter Scott

My two dogs need a hug right now. Okay, I'm the one who needs the doggie hugs . . .

[Mnemosyne]

172. I am so sorry to hear about Daisy, SCE.

How is Crystal doing? She must feel so lost.

[freckleface]

173. SCE I'm so very sorry for the loss of your sweet baby girl, Daisy

I rarely post; my first was to you thanking you for the comfort you brought me when my baby girl Frosty died. You bring us all laughter and joy each week. Now it is our turn to surround you and your family with love. Daisy, would you give my Frosty a bark-out?

[Aldo Leopold]

174. It's hard, I know.

We're lucky to have their company while they're here...

My condolences.

[AikidoSoul]

175. Please accept my condolences -- though inadequate. I miss my little Tookie
