World Pet Memorial Day (June 10th)

[MaxJack'sMom]

June 10th is recognized as 'World Pet Memorial Day'. I would like to take a moment to remind our MT family that all pets are a part of the family and when we loose one of them, it takes a piece of our hearts too. Here at MT we are 'one big family' and I hope that any member that has grieved knows we share the same feelings. For those who have not had to go through this yet, we are thankful and happy for you and know that when it does happen, you have a large extended family to lean on.
So, I remember my first Maltese love....Max on this day. The pain of watching him waste away and the decision to let him go still tugs at my heart but I know he is forever happy and I'm happy with that knowledge now. Because of Max, I now have Jack, and I thank Max for that.

This will be my first pet memorial day having to remember my childhood Chocolate Lab, Lucy :(:( She hasn't been gone a year yet and sometimes going to my parents I still look for her to come running out the door greeting me. I just wish I could have been with her in her final days :(

I will definitely be thinking about my miniature Australian Shepherd mix that had to be put to sleep on 04/30/04.........seems just like yesterday and a day I will never forget. Here is a picture of my darling little girl that kept me sane for 12 1/2 years.:hearter::hearter: Kelsey is gone but never forgotten.

Years ago I had Bogart my Maltese and remember him to this day...he was the sweetest lovable doggie....always happy to see me when ever I returned...he played with the children and loved them...now I have Monique who is 12 yrs old....I keep her as happy as can be...she is different than Bogart and much different than Lucky my wonderful Lucky, a yorkie who passed two years ago come July...each dog has a personality all his or her own...but for me they are my children, aside from my real children, but cannot distinguish the love for them...they can never be forgotten....Sorry to all who bereive, I know the feeling..Ruaga

I'm sorry I missed this post. I think it is great that there is a memorial day, but I think of my Sophie everyday. Next week will be 3 years since we had to put her to sleep. I feel like Cheryl. I loved Sophie and cherished everyday with her and she led me to Zo zo (and later Abbie) and I am so grateful. I do admit, I would have loved to see Soph with Zoe. RIP my sweet angel.

I know exactly what you are saying and it is soooooooooo true! You just can't help but treat them like family.......because they "ARE" family to those that have been touched by a special fluff! But then, I guess they are all special when they have touched your heart.

Thanks Elizabeth.........she was "my heart" in soooooo many ways and saw me through some very tough times. I swore I would never allow myself to have another dog and get that attached. It was nearly devastating to my emotional well-being. But look at me now..........after nine months from the day we put her to rest, I knew I had to have another dog, and now I have four!!!!! Funny though, how every time one of my dogs passed, I swore the same thing. Then as time passed, I knew I wanted another one. I have never had the same breed twice, wonder why????:confused::confused: I have loved all the fluffs(breeds) I have ever had, I just always pick a different breed. HOWEVER, with that said, I think I am hung up on the maltese breed for "LIFE.":hearter:
