My late pup

[ChickMagic]

I just found this picture of her. I rescued her from my abusive ex husband (he liked to beat her too). She was cremated and her favorite toy is in the box. I have left instructions that when I'm dead and gone, she will be in the box with me. :cry:

[flamingyouth]

1. I am so sorry

What a sweet doggie. I'm sorry for both of you. :cry::hug:

[WildClarySage]

2. Awww what a darlin'!

Sorry she's not with you today.

[frictionlessO]

3. sorrow and empathy for you....

:hug: :cry: its all I can think of...

blessings

[ChickMagic]

17. Thank you so much

She's been dead for a few years but there are times that I still become overwhelmed and cry. :hug:

[frictionlessO]

30. she was a best friend to you during what had to be horrible times...

only natural to mourn every now and then, time doesnt erase a fact it can only assuage the pain.

:hug:

[sui generis]

4. what a cutie

I have way too many little cedar boxes with ashes and toys and photos in them; 'tswhat happens when you never turn away a stray and they all live to be 1000 years old in dog and cat years.

I dunno I think they'll just have to re-cremate us all together. I know one thing for sure I don't want my ashes scattered in this damn state, but that means somebody's going to be raising eyebrows traveling with a suitcase full of white powder!

5. what a SWEET FACE!

what breed(s) was she?

When did she die?

[ChickMagic]

9. Her mom was a poodle

and her dad was an opportunist. :) She's been dead for about 8 years, but I still think of her often.

[Tom_Foolery]

13. I was five when I got my dog Inky...

and I had to put him down when I was 21. He's been dead for almost 24 years, and I think about him everyday.

How could anyone have been mean to your sweet little dog? Some people are absolute idiots.

[ChickMagic]

15. Well, he was mean to me too

Pure-dee psychopath, that one. I don't think I'll ever not think of Sally (my young niece named her). Since I couldn't sleep without her next to me, her box is going into my box so we can sleep together.

[Tom_Foolery]

21. I'm sorry that you were abused...

I hope he gets what he deserves. Men who abuse women are cowards.

[ChickMagic]

25. Karma definely kicked in

When I had cancer he repeatedly told me that I should die. He tried to smother me in my sleep among other things. Now I'm with derby and I'm happy as a clam. Cancer free, wonderful hubby while my ex lost his house and last I heard the ASPCA took a dog away from him because of abuse. He's a habitual liar, but according to him he's in a nursing home with MS. Aww. Too friggin' bad.

[ThorsHammer]

6. Sorry about her, cute dog

We also rescued an abused dog, and he's become like a little brother to me. I don't even want to think about him dying yet, as he's in the prime of his life, but I'll miss him like family. I really hope that there is a "doggie heaven".

[arwalden]

7. Very Sweet Photo!!

I know exactly how you feel. I adore and love my dog more than some members of my own human family!

Your furry baby was very lucky to have you for a mom!

[ChickMagic]

12. Thank you

I hope she felt the same way. I've not gotten another dog because the pain was too great. I was with her when the vet euthanised her. Even the vet teared up. She was special and looked after me when I had cancer.

[smbolisnch]

8. Awww, how sweet....

I am sorry she's not with you anymore :hug:

[ChickMagic]

10. She could flirt like crazy!

I always took her with me on trips because I couldn't sleep without her next to me.

[Bouncy Ball]

11. Aww, she is adorable!!!

And by the way, HI ginbarn! (You know me from a couple of DU gatherings in the Dallas area.)

[ChickMagic]

14. Gimme a hint!

I'm old and senile - you gotta help me out here. Oh, and HI to you too!

[myrna minx]

16. I am sorry for your loss.

She looks like such a sweet pup. :hug:

[ChickMagic]

19. She was the best!

Thank you for the hug. Back at 'cha. :hug:

[Cooley Hurd]

18. What a sweetie!

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing and your ordeal.

Let's hope 2005 brings you much happiness! (and maybe a new pup too?)
:hug:

[MissMillie]

20. What a love!!!!!

She was lucky to have you in her life.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

22. Awww Ginbarn, I am so sorry

what a cutie :hug:

[ChickMagic]

27. I still miss her every day

If we ever get a house, I'm going to get another one. Thanks for the hug - I've been thinking about her a lot today after finding that picture. :hug:

[Wcross]

23. What a cute dog.....

I sure would like some quality time alone with your ex-husband to explain why beating women and small dogs is wrong.

[Tom_Foolery]

24. I'd like to be part of that guy's education, too! n/t

[ChickMagic]

28. My knights in shining armour

And people wonder why I love DU so much. :loveya:

[ChickMagic]

26. Well, get this....

When I was in chemotherapy - the biggest guns they have - he pushed me down on the floor where I work and stomped on my chest. Broken ribs. The night before I left him he drove me around bad parts of town to see the homeless huddling against the cold. He said that's what would happen to me. Psyops, big time. I think he's getting his due now.

[Wcross]

29. If I was on the jury...

you would have been aquitted. I am sorry you had to put up with a "man" like that. I sure hope he is getting his due.



This is a picture of my girl Angel and her two pups. I took her in two weeks before this picture was taken. If she sees me putting on my belt she starts cowering and acts as if she has been beaten before. I have never so much as verbally scolded her (she's a sweet-heart), so I think her previous human had abused her. All I can do about that is give Angel the best life she can have from now on.

[ChickMagic]

31. That trauma can last a lifetime

Maybe if you used the belt as a leash, she would start to see it as a positive thing. Or wrap it around your hand have give her monster petting. That might assuage some of the trauma. She's a doll!

[welshTerrier2]

32. what a sweet face ... and eyes that understand ...

i'm so sorry for your loss ...

i hope you get another pup when the time is right ... loving dog owners are the very best people ...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

33. Awww...

What a precious poochie! I'm so sorry for your loss, Ginbarn... :hug:

[Cuban_Liberal]

34. What a cutie!

I'm sorry for your loss.

36. I'm very sorry, she's such a doll

[ChickMagic]

37. Thanks to you all

I've been missing her a lot this week. You people are the best. :grouphug:

[roguevalley]

38. they love you so much don't they? Animals, give me one anytime.

the best things i heard in the tsunami is about the temple elephants that knew the wave was coming and cried, running away at last. They were later found walking through the water, picking up people and putting them on their back. SNIFFLE! I love animals. Your dog is wonderful.

Anyone who hurts an animal is a bastard. Hurting that little dog? Your
ex was a bitch.
