Mary, it's so sad about your Annabelle. Our fur babies are like our best friends and children rolled into one, aren't they? You did the right thing, but it doesn't make it any easier. You'll always love her and remember her. I believe our pets go to heaven, too, so I think you'll see her again and that'll be forever. God bless your heart.

Mary, I am sorry to hear about Annabelle. Our pets are part of our families & it's so hard to know they have shorter lives than us. I'm sure you enriched her life as much as she did yours. Hugs to you all.

Mary, if dogs and cats aren't in heaven then God has made a mistake and He doesn't make mistakes. I believe Winnie, Tigger and Lil Bit will be waiting for me. See you when we all get there!

I am so sorry for you loss of Annabelle. Losing a pet, especially a comfort pet is one of the hardest things. You grieve and cry but in the midst of that celebrate fher wonderful life.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words, and hugs. I think I am past the weeping and to the teary eyes when thinking of her. I've had many pets but Annabelle was so special. She really got me through a rough time, laying next to me during my illness when I was in bed most of the time. She was my little angel. I do picture her at Rainbow Bridge, running and playing with the other pets I've lost and waiting for me to come so we can all cross over together. It truly gets me through these days. (For anyone who wishes to tell me that animals don't have souls and don't go to heaven, please save your words. Annabelle was an angel and I believe she will be waiting for me.)

I am working on knitting rugs and blankets to take to her vet, who was truly amazing and compassionate on Friday, as well as the local shelter.

Mary, You did a very brave thing when you decided to give Annabelle relief from her painful life. Not everyone could be as kind as you were to her. Some would selfishly want to keep their pet no matter how much discomfort they were in. I know it is very difficult when a friend passes. Just remember the pain passes and you will think lovingly of her giving you such a great life for years. Ginny

Mary,

My heart cries with yours and I am so sorry that your Annabelle had to be put to sleep. Your Annabelle was lucky in life to have a wonderful companion, one that cared enough to let go. Never doubt that you made the right decision. You did. She is not hurting anymore.

My prayers are with you today.

Deb

Mary, I am so so sorry - but she is out of pain now and running with the wind on the other side of the rainbow bridge - she has a mansion picked out for you but we are hoping to keep you with us here for a long long time. I know it is hard but each day you will be stronger and you have really good memories of her. Sending you are large virtual hug!

Oh, sweet Mary, this is such a sad thing that we must go through if we want pets. they become our babies, our lives. We have been though this so many times over the years. Sometimes they just grow old and leave us, sometimes, it is illness. You will heal. Just keep yoursefl really busy quilting. Having yoourself focused on asomething else, can, after a time, ease the pain. Just picture her dancing across that bridge, barking, oh so healthy and happy. She will be waiting for you, someday. So now you have something to look forward to. Back to quilting, girl. And, put a picture of her on your quilting room wall. Oh, and make a quilt, especially for you, named after her.

Many ((((((HUGS))))) sweet Mary.
