It is never easy to say 'Good-Bye' to one that means so much in our lives and the 'Emotions' just hang in our hearts for some time to come. You do have the satisfaction of not only 'Knowing, Loving, and Caring' for her, but, also that you did ALL that you could do to help her 'Face' the situation.
However, though the moment is a very Sad one and the grief a 'Heavy Load' to bare at this time; you do have many more Good 'Memories' of her and she has 'Set the Bar' very High for another to 'Shoot' for and bring their 'Personality and Character' to your heart. There will never be another Callie, but your heart, mind, and memories will certainly 'Stretch' to include many more.
I saw this thread last night, my heart breaks with you. I didn't know her personally, but I know you had a unique and special bond. Both of you guys have been so helpful to this community. Educating and teaching me and others things it may have taken forever to learn otherwise. You guys have shown me so much information and given me advice on just about everything and anything. You have been there when others needed solace. Time I return the favor. My prayers are with you and your family. I pray that you can heal and recover from this sudden loss
Oh sweet SBC & GW! I just found this. I am SO sorry for your loss of the amazing Callie! My heart breaks for you both!
As Bay said, it is impossible to know the full extent of one's loss, as we have different relationships with each animal. However, we do know that Callie was an exceptional dog and you both had a special connection with her.
My prayers are with you both, that God would begin to heal the hole in your hearts.
I have come on here so many times this morning and sat in front of the keyboard wanting to say thank you all for your kindness.
GW and I are truly overwhelmed with grief.
I have buried many dogs in my lifetime and each and everyone has hurt but this- this I simply cannot express.
