Ti'ana has passed to the Rainbow Bridge....
After a few weeks of not feeling too well, Ti'ana was sent for an ultrasound. Her liver and spleen were covered with tumors, filled with blood and cancer. The vet informed me that although she seemed ok today, It would only be a matter of days before she passed on, and it would be horrible for her. I did what I thought was best and put her down, while she laid in my arms. She was like a child to me, a best friend, a companion. And having her not greet me with tons of kisses this morning is breaking my heart. She had just turned 12 last month. She was a strong, loving dog who gave my family and I many happy years, as I hope we did for her. She took a piece of my heart to that Rainbow Bridge, and she is now romping with Shana, my first dog. We cry for so many selfish reasons. Angels on earth, animals are.... and for that God should have given them many many more years to roam here and love their families. This site has always given me inspiration and calmness....as I hope it continues to do. Love them with all you have, every day! She inspired me every day to be the best person I could be.... and will truly be missed.

Yes, me too. We lost our Leo this summer 2009, just when we were going to move.
Leo was with us when we started looking for our new home.
Now we have moved and every time I go past the hotel where we stayed with Leo I remember his conversation.
You see Leo talked and communicated like no other dog we have ever had (9 dogs)
The first morning of our stay he stopped in the hotel corridor and howled like a wolf, after which he continued with an aray of intonations (that´s what Siberian Huskies do, when they are calling flock members or have a good experience to share. This singsong naturally lead to guests opening their bedroom doors and wondering what it was all about (some were not so amused!)
Actually, he was communicating that the area we had chosen was fine and he approved! However, sad to say he told us that it was time for him to leave for the Rainbow Bridge, which he did shortly after our return. He knew he would´nt be with us, but he was pleased with our choice.
Still, his soul keeps popping up and reminding us of all the good times we enjoyed together, we remember him with so much love and happiness over the wonderful times we had together.Yes, I miss him so much and cry every now and again but Leo loved his freedom and to decide when it is time to leave for the Rainbow Bridge is his freedom of choice.

I am so sorry for all of the wonderful furry friends that have passed. I know the pain and it just devistates us! I too am grieving the loss of my little Tillie. It happened seven months ago and I still can't forgive myself for having left the room when the vet put her down. If I had to do it over again I would have held her and been there for her. Bless all of you who did that! Yes we will see them again as I believe that God cares about every detail of our lives and something so sweet and precious as a pet will not go un-noticed. I still have my little Tazer Bud and recently got Nelllie Girl who is a rescue dog. She is finally showing me who she is and the awesome thing is that she is so much like my little Tillie!

Could Nellie Girl be connected to little Tillie´s soul? I hope you will forgive me for asking (as not everyone is interested in these kinds of thoughts) but I am just reading a very sincere and interesting book called "Your Soul´s Plan by Robert Schwartz" and it could apply to dogs too.
Wishing you and Nellie Girl a wonderful life together. Coralie

I don't think Nellie is connected to Tillie's soul I believe dogs don't have souls, they do have spirits. The Bible says that only human beings have souls. If you are a Christian, as I am; the Bible teaches that we were created in HIS image and if we call upon HIM than we will be saved and our souls will go to HEAVEN to be with HIM when we die. I do believe that God cares about every detail of our life and that if this is true than I will see my little Tillie in Eternity. She was a special little dog and a big part of my life. I would question the book you are reading. It sounds like New Age teachings which I don't believe in. They contradict the teachings of The Bible which I believe is the inherent Word of God!

Thank you for your comment, this is what makes the World so wonderful that there is diversity even in thoughts. All books are interesting whether you believe in the content or not. I do certainly understand that your little dog was very special and you will see her in Eternity.
May I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year.

Bill, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss in Angel. Although we went to the vet, Ti'ana died in my arms too. It was just a year last week and I still think about her all the time. And I DO think they wait for us. This was the best site with the best people to help me get through a difficult time. It is very unfair that their lives are so much shorter. But if not for people like us (I found a dog roaming the streets this summer and gave her a home).. if not for us, what kind of people would be left in the world? My thoughts and prayers go out to you and Angel. I am sure Ti'ana found her with all the other dogs and they are healthy and running around. I am not going to say keep your chin up... cry cry cry... it helps. I actually write simple poetry and put it in a book with all of her pictures, that helped too.
