Our Pickle

 :'( we lost our sweet mini dachshund Pickle a couple of days ago. She was 13 yrs old. She had an aggressive cancer that we didn't even know she had. Once symptoms became noticed it was to late. We had here sense she was 6 weeks old. My heart hurts. At times I've felt like I can hardly breathe. She was so cuddly and loved people so much.
To make matters worse, my German Shepherd who is 16 is getting worse with the cold weather. He is also missing Pickle. He is barking and whining for her. It's just so sad to see him grieving. I feel like it's just a matter of time for him.
I know we've all lost loved pet family, so please share a few stories about them.
Pickle loved to be our barn cat dog. Loved hunting mice, snakes and moles.
Max has been our guardian and protection as well as a baby sitter.
How blessed I feel to have had such great canines in our life. And even more so that God brought us Bear.

My Aussie, Bridgette, was a sweet gentle soul.
Picture of her and our  first Siamese as a kitten.   More than once in the winter I'd see her laying outside and there would be a cat or two curled up on her for warmth.

Awww Holly , my heart breaks for you. (sending a massive hug to you)

I had a corgi when i was a child , he lived to the age of 17. He was a wonderful dog that became mums shadow after my sister and i moved out. Mum had to have an operation on her shoulder many years ago and I was looking after him whilst she was in hospital and One morning when I had gone into visit her, he had passed over the rainbow bridge before I got home. He was sleeping peacefully in "mums chair". To have to break the news to mum whilst she was in hospital was horrific, but ive always said  that he knew "it was time" and that he didnt want to put mum through the ordeal, in a way.

I really loved that dog and have such good memories as a kid of taking him for walks ect and probably the reason I was so hesitant in getting another dog.

And I didnt for a very long time........... Until 6 years ago...

Try and think of all the good times with Pickle Holly , Im sure she loved every minute of being part of your lives :)

I too, have lost beloved pets.  My most recent loss was my 3 year old Flame Point Siamese -- at a whopping 18 pounds, and all LOVE.  Of course, I replaced him with another Siamese -- this time a Lynx Point I rescued from a shelter, but he is so timid, it will probably take him a year to come out of his shell.  He is getting braver, but I had a rescue cat once (a Ragdoll) that actually took 3 years to come down off my kitchen cupboards and sit by me in my office.  After that is was just a matter of time until my lap became her favorite place.

My heart breaks for you, as I know what you're going through.  I always replace those that I lose, as it helps the other animals in my home mourn less as they meet a new friend.

Holly:
I am already looking for another great Pyrenees so Bear won't be alone.
Thank you all so much. It hurts terrible. I just love the look in dogs eyes. They have such a good soul.
