World Pet Memorial Day (June 10th)

[MaxJack'sMom]

This is a very somber reminder of something that eventually happens to all pet owners. We love our pets with all our hearts, be it a dog, cat, bird, lizard, guinea pig, turtle, snake, fish, the list goes on and on, but we do love them no matter what they are.
Today, the world remembers their pets. I hope everyone here on MT that has had the heartbreak of loosing a pet, our prayers are with you.
I would also like to offer my prayers and heart felt wishes of peace to Helen as she had the heartbreak yesterday of Pebbles death. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. It doesn't matter if Pebbles was only 7 days old or 7 years old, her presence and love become one with you and your heart now has a part missing. You can be assured that you did everything possible for her.
I am sure the whole MT family feels your sorrow and please remember that we are here for you.

May little Pebbles and her sister Mia rest in peace. They are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge.

Andrea, I never wanted to think about that day when we had Max. The day it happened, Aug. 6th, 2005 was the worst day in my life while owning a pet. We went together as a family to the vet and they let us be alone with him for as long as we wanted before they did it. I wanted the cancer out of him so bad, but I knew he was shutting down all his organs, and he just kept looking into our eyes and giving us kisses, it killed me. I was balling like a baby when they did it, me holding him in my arms telling him it was ok. I felt like I let him down so badly. I got to stay with him in the room afterwards for as long as I wanted. We went home, and I kept the things I wanted to keep and took the rest to the animal hospital as a donation. Then I swore I would never again get another dog. I cried all the time. I still cry, I'm crying right now, but the silence and looking at his favorite spot on the couch and not seeing a little white fluffbutt sleeping there was getting to me. My son kept saying it was time and it would make Max happy. That's how you have to look at it. You're not being disloyal or unfaithful by getting another pet. That's why fate brought us to Jack. He needed us and I desperately needed him.
Now he drives us crazy and sometimes I wonder why the heck I did this again, but one little kissy lick from him and my heart melts. That's why we honor our late pets and go on with our lives with new ones.
