Sorry to hear that, Corson... Please stay strong. On a lighter note, my rat terrier's name is also Cookie.

Blessings and love, ~ Dan

[DoubleHelix]

Terribly sad to hear your news Corson. Dogs are some of the most unconditionally loving pets we have.

My dogs mean everything to me! Sending my heart out to you in your time of grief.. What kind of dog was it ?

[karelia]

::offers hugs::

I'm so sorry for your loss.

It probably doesn't help right now, but your familiar is now in a place that is so, so much happier than here, even though s/he was very fortunate to be with you during this lifetime. But it hurts to be the one left behind. It will hurt tomorrow, and the day after, and next week, but eventually, the pain will fade and the happy memories will gain the upper hand. ::offers more hugs::

[astrid]

aww.. wow , so sorry to hear this ,

Hugs

Sending you much healing energy.

When i was losing my dog, i was a real mess.
But when i eventually had her put down i felt her spirit enter my heart.
It was so strong and so profound.
That seriously changed my whole view on spirituality, that i had been resisting until then.

Your dog is still very much with you, Corson , be comforted by this.

Blessings,

Astrid

[myrm]

I am truly sorry for your loss Corson. You will know more furry friends I promise. I still miss my dog 'Runner' whom I gave to my neighbor when I moved three years ago. Bless your heart. myrm

[Phoenix]

Corson,

Sorry to hear about your dog buddy.

I'm sure cookies wouldn't want to see you sad - don't forget that

much love to you

Excellent! Another friend waiting for you on the other side.
I have a few siamese cats waiting for me and I can't wait to say hello to them again.
I loved them so much on this side, I know they took that with them.

As did yours.
I will go get a Jack Daniels and celebrate for you both.

[Carmody]

I feel feel for you. My pup died two years back in a way... that even the vets were beyond their limits to handle.

Sometime she visits... and we go out and play.. really, really hard. She lived life like a cross between a shotgun and a flamethrower.

[Flasky]

*big warm hug*

Rejoice because they were here and rejoice because they are going to be there - waiting for you.

Love, love, love, love!

[pharoah21]

It's one of the hardest things to go through, but L.S is right, besides, now you have a spiritual guard dog looking out for you. Read my last thread if you wish, my girlfriends dog died last week and we were both hurting, P.A gave us a lot of help in dealing with it. I wish you support and healing. Loving energy is currently being sent your way.

Blessings.

[Nani]

Corson, silence yourself for a moment, pay attention just to your breath, in...and....out, keep just listening to your breath, keep going for as long as you can. Cookies does not want to see you sad, he is in a nice place and wants to see you strong, send your love to him while listening to your breath feel him happy and connect with that feeling.
I send you my love.

Nani

[Anchor]

Man, that is tough. I know how that goes, there is no logic or reasoning that can help or magic away this emotional pain.

Something you loved is taken away - there is no way this is ever going to be easy.

When it happened to us I took the day off and we walked among trees and gardens until our feet were sore. Tree's do help. Tears help.

In the mean time, I think the energy you will find coming your way from those of us who have read about and considered your plight, should help a bit.

e-Hug!

Man's best firend is sooo right on for dogs. I am so sorry for your loss... can totally relate. Lots of love to you.

Your grief is a continuance of your love for cookies, honour it as such.
Your heart may feel broken, but notice that you are still feeling love even through the tears.
Visit cookies, astrally or however is appropriate and see how he/she is feeling and ask how she is seeing your grief.

[giovonni]

My deepest sympathy corson

this kind of loss is never easy :(

THE LAST BATTLE

If it should be that i grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.

You will be sad i understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend.

Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

i know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

corson

Hi corson,

I am extremely saddened to here the news of cookies passing...

I remember when my Red Healer 'Cattle Dog' Ringer died on the 27 December, 2009, he was the most loyal and loving member of the family and loved by all...

I am a grown man and I cried like a baby every time I thought about Ringer for days...and the pain of losing a loved one never really goes away it only gets easier through time...

I buried him in the backyard, and ever day and night would go out and talk to him and thank the universe for bringing him into our family...

One night just before going to bed about a week later after his passing I was looking at a photo of him when he was a puppy and asked the question: Please let me know your Ok Ringer - 'I kid you not' corson, deep in my inner left ear, I heard him barking and sensed he was running around in a lush green paddock free of the pain and suffering he endured prior to his passing!

corson, there is nothing wrong with allowing yourself to mourn for cookies as long as it takes, and remember the Love and Joy cookies brought into your life...

I hope this helps you a little bit...

Kind Regards,

Jack

[D-Day]

Corson,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I too lost my best mate recently (the furry kind), so I appreciate how you must be feeling right now... you must stay strong friend!

I am not one who is adept at finding the right words to say at a moment like this, so I will simply post the following poem which was sent to me by a friend after I lost my own dog...

I give you this one thought to keep - I am with you still - I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone - I am with you still - in each new dawn.

Love, hugs and blessings to you dear Corson... I hope this helps :)

[woodshreder]

There is no greater loss than losing your best friend.Sorry for your loss Corson

After nearly 3 years since the loss of my GS "Rain" I still have moments of sadness thinking about the soul level connection I shared with her. Wish you the best in coping , Always, peace be with you

[GCS1103]

My heart goes out to you Corson. I have been there too and didn't think I could handle the grief. There's an emptiness that takes a long while to go away. I am wishing you peace and strength during this terrible time. All of our beloved pets are waiting for us at "The Rainbow Bridge".

Much love to you-
Goldie

[Carmen]

So sorry to hear of you loss, Corson. Its hard a much loved pet. It's like part of you has been ripped away. Hugs from me.

[Eva2]

This is so tough - I've been there - and the initial period is the roughest to get through. I still think every day about my dog who died almost 8 years ago. However, I firmly believe, with such a strong attachment, s/he will remain with you. For a period after my dog's passing, I often felt him jumping on my bed at night and I was told some years later by a shaman that he was hanging out in my aura. I know my guy is in a great place, no longer in pain and suffering, and I often feel his presence - no doubt, Cookies is still with you, just in a different way. Write Cookies a letter - it might help. Sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.

Quote
By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,

Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.

Where the friends of man and woman do run,

When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,

Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.

On this golden land, they wait and they play,

Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,

For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.

Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,

Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,

Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.

All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,

Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;

Together again, both person and pet.

So they run to each other, these friends from long past,

The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,

Has turned into joy once more in each heart.

They embrace with a love that will last forever,

And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

Dear Corson,

I'm so sorry for your loss and the grief you are experiencing. It is heartbreaking for you and please allow yourself to grieve in the way that works best for you. Each person has their own way to get through the loss of a loved one, therefore I support you in what ever you need to make it though your sadness. I love you and your "cookie" who loved you too. Blessings for you will miss each other.

I am so sorry, Corson! Much love to you!

[eva08]

Corson, I am so sorry for your loss. Many years ago when my sweet dog died, I was in grief for weeks, he was like a person to me. And at the same time, I could connect with his spirit - and his spirit was HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY - running around like a puppy, playing like a puppy kissing me little kisses on my cheeks. His spirit saw me cry one night and just came by and laughed at me and I started to smile and laugh too. I could feel him and his happiness. He wanted me to be happy. He is one of my doggy guardian angels, playfully barking. Sometimes I still think he is right here with me in my current dog, but he does not want me to think back only be happy in the now moment in thought reality or physical reality.Sympathy

I am really sorry to here about your loss. I lost several dogs in my life and I think of them often. I know this can be a difficult time.

[dendraw]

Dear Corson, I know that feeling....I also feel like I never know what to say! I do remember though, when I was in the hospital after my motorcycle accident a couple years back, just having people come to visit really left an impression. That feeling of being cared for......it's obvious that MANY here care for you....AND your loss!!! Big hug to you! Love D

[Foggy]

Corson:

Are you still on deck?

I know your heart is broken. You will never get over the separation and loss at this time; but, you will get through it. The raw painful memories will fade in their own designated time.

In the meantime, you may wish to consider gathering a special photograph of your friend, along with a candle and some matches. Place them somewhere to designate a small alter and display anything else you choose including fresh cut flowers and cremains if available.

Visit the alter light the candle, incense or whatever displayed and say a prayer of thanksgiving for all the fun and happiness your friend shared with you. Express your gratitude for the joy your dog brought to your life and how rich their companionship made your life.

Tell me about your friend. Was she a lady? Did you take her for a walk every night at 11PM...or did she go to bed earlier? Would she sit at the refrigerator the moment a thought went through your mind....a little ice cream would taste good?
It didn't matter where you were in the house when you had that thought....she would go to her post and patiently wait until you acted on that thought. Did your friend read your mind also?

Did she like to chase squirrels? Did she ever catch one? Did she like to go swimming? What about going for a ride? Would she sit at the door so you couldn't leave town without her?

Do not deny your pain. Be patient with it and yourself. Do you think this will help?

Ecclesiastes 3:18-21

Listen to this passage

18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[a]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”

[atut]

Let go... no need to be sad.
Life is a dream experience. We live in this human body to learn the lesson in 3D reality. Everything is temporary, don't be too attached.

[ozlemer]

Sorry for your loss Corson... Know how it feels... Only time will ease the pain. Stay in there...

Oh Corson, :hug: My advice is to cry your eyes out.

[Cjay]

I'm sorry for your loss. Animals are wonderful friends.

BIG HUG

[The One]

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

[Roseheart]

Great sadness. Let it flow through.
Love surrounds you. x

[ktlight]

Corson,
It is so sad. But remember what a privilege to have spent time together and an honour too. Can you celebrate his passing, it was his time to go. It will be easier on yourself if you let him go. You have got good memories and a good heart. He would not have been a friend had you not.

Sorry to hear it mate :(

[Ineffable Hitchhiker]

I am sorry to hear about your dog, corson. :(
Take all the time you need to grieve, I know how hard it is to lose a dog.
Remember how lucky you were to have had Cookies and Cookies was just as lucky to have met you, too.





I buried him in the backyard, and ever day and night would go out and talk to him and thank the universe for bringing him into our family...

I hope this helps you a little bit...

What a wonderful story, jack.
I would like to share my own story and pehaps corson will take comfort in knowing that our pets never truly leave us.

2 weekends ago I had a dream about our dog, Chester, who had left us 6 years ago.
In the dream, I was walking along a road and suddenly out of nowhere, he appeared. He ran up to me and jumped up, licked my face and went quite crazy running around in circles, wagging his tail. I was so filled with joy.
The dream was extremely lucid. You know how sometimes you just know you are dreaming and everything seems very real in "present time", well this was one like that.

The crazy/weird/serendipitous thing was....8 hours later, my son asked me for a photo of himself as a kid, which he needed for school.
And there we were, looking at photos in of him with Chester!!!


Much love to you, corson, in this difficult time. :hug:

[jjl]

You have my sympathy. Sending loving vibes.

[Chelle]

Hi Corson,

This brings back memories of when I lost my first Staff, the pain was immense.
I feel for you.

Kind Regards
Chelle

[sheddie]

So sorry Corson to hear about Cookies, you have a very special friend waiting for you..and some wonderful memories to cherish

this is a hard time for you, just know we are all here for you

sending you a huge hug and much love xxxxx

[learninglight]

Dearest Corson

How wonderful for you to have had such a wonderful fantastic loving experience in the time you had with Cookie
Time is a great healer of pain, you will one day think of Cookie and your feelings will all be wonderful, the hurt will have gone.

You are in my thoughts
Much love to you and yours

Saying goodbye to innocence is the hardest thing to do.

Grief is the price we pay for love but don't ever be sorry for the depth of love you feel.

You will meet again.

Very sorry to hear that:( The older I've gotten, the more I realize that human lives are measured in dogs. Always sad to close that chapter of someone you love so much and hoped you could have spent your whole life together with I guess it could sound weird to someone who doesn't love dogs.

Anyway, sorry about your loss Corson. I know it's never easy.

[HURRITT ENYETO]

Sorry to hear that Corson.
Its very tough when we lose members of the family.
You have my condolences for what its worth.:(

I am sorry for your loss of a friend. I too have a special friend and I can't imagine my best friend not with me. Be strong and be thankful for memories..

Well said Gaia.

Corson, what you can't see in my new avatar picture is that I was posed kneeling down with my three 75 pound muts and their goofy smiley faces. Had to pare it down to fit in here. All three of them are rescue dogs with abusive pasts, and for all I know all three of them would have been euthanized without us coming to look for a new dog; because it had been time for an old friend to say good bye.

Do yourself and your next friend in waiting a big favor and go break him out of your local animal jail, I mean shelter. You'll know him when you see him. The more the merrier at the Rainbow Bridge crossing.

Fred

[Belle]

Oh Corson, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sitting here with a huge lump in my throat and tears streaming down as I remember the losses of my 'babies'...Sugar, Mr. Red, Buster 1 and Buster 2, Kitty-Kitty and Maxwell. Each one was so special in their own way and I miss them dearly.

It helped me to gather pictures and tell the stories to family and friends, sharing how special each one was in my life. Please, tell us about Cookie. What was she like? What made her so special to you? How did you first get together?

:hug:

[Rainbowbrite]

Hi Corson,
I'm really sorry to hear about your Cookie passing over - i understand your pain, (i lost my best friend growing up, Sadie - a springer spaniel - just over 15 years ago) time honestly helps with this and i believe s/he will be waiting for you in the everafter and will probably 'pop in' to check on you from time to time. I don't have any other advice to add to the excellent words given by others here on this thread, other than to add my love to the global hug here for you :grouphug:

Brightest Blessings to you (and Cookie) - Rain

[Snowbird]

Many many puppy-hugs to you Corson. :hug:

[Anno]

I've been through this a few times. It never really goes away fully. When I think of the sadness, I swap the thought out for a happy memory instead and trust that my pooches are off somewhere better having grown from our time together teaching eachother many things.
Noone can teach you to be human better than a dog. =]

[g.k.r]

sorry to hear it m8, hope you will be ok soon

[Sniffity]

So sorry to hear about your dog Corson sendiing happy tboughts, light and love your way :hippie: :hug:

Sniffs x

[Lifesong]

I'm so sorry, Corson. My love and prayers are with you. <3

[Flash]

Truthfully sorry about your dog Corson. May I share with you what I learned through death of dear ones? With time, their physical attributes kind of slightly fade away. One thing that never does fade away: love given and received, it always remains as intense, love does not fade.

This told me that love is the most important thing in this universe, love.

I hope this will help you to go through the sorrow,
Flash

[benevolentcrow]

So sorry to hear of your loss, I can only imagine how hard it is for you. Time will pass and the fond memories will grow stronger.

[Charlie Pecos]

Well Corson and Avalon, you have really got me today. Here I am reading through this thread, crying my eyes out having to continuously reach for the tissue box, a big burly construction guy, crying like a little kid. Avalon you are a group of very kind and loving people with very big hearts and I thank you for your outpouring of support for a friend in his time of grief. It is a priviledge to be amongst you all.

I too have lost several very special friends. The one I miss most is Ted, an 18 pound himalayan cat. He was more dog than he was a cat. He would sleep in the dogs pen, he would eat the dogs food, he would walk up to the dog and head butt him, and you could whistle for Ted and he would come running. I got very drunk the day I had to let him go. We know that we outlive our friends and that on the first day that we meet, there will also be a day where we must part ways- for a short time. I very much look forward to seeing my friends again.

Corson, my heart goes out to you. Stay strong, but do take the time to grieve for your friend- it is only natural. This too shall pass.
I know you have gotten a lot of hugs- but how about one more from a bear? :hug:

[Heather2017]

Oh, Corson. I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember sweet Cookies from your former Avatar photo. As others have said so well, please know that her joyful, loving spirit is still with you in your time of grief.

Sending you lots of big, warm hugs, :hug:

[KosmicKat]

Having suffered a loss myself this weekend I offer my sympathy, for what it's worth. And the thought that Cookies gave you some wonderful memories to keep for the rest of your life, and a little bit more training in how to love a fellow-creature. Hold on to the good memories.

p.s. I don't remember the link but I remember recently reading a post by Bill Ryan saying that [Cookies] is not lost. Reach out to her telepathically, and ask her to come back, and be ready to find that special puppy in a new litter somewhere nearby.

[Ecnal61]

losing a pet is like losing a child, i know because iv been there corson, hang in there friend, p.s what was your dogs name?

[Donna O]

Sorry to hear that, Corson... Please stay strong. On a lighter note, my rat terrier's name is also Cookie.

Blessings and love, ~ Dan
My sincere sympathies are with you. Please remember you will see him again someday, he is part of you.

[Darla Ken Pearce]

Corson, I am especially saddened to hear of your loss. I know how attached and comforted we can get with our beloved furry companions who have taught us unconditional love for so many years of our lives. They are so precious, and fill our lives with so much joy.

About two months ago, my little dog, Topper, was here just fine one day, slightly ill the next, and then gone. I was first of all, in shock, at how quickly this happened. But something was very different this time from all the other deaths and passings I've known and that is their spirits are more in your face, "I'm alive and well" they say.

You may not "see" them but you feel their presence so strongly, it's difficult to mourn. On the other hand, the mortal remains are the most difficult part. Because, we sense and know that there is no one home there. It's disturbing to see so much that was dearly loved just lying there without spirit present. If you but simply blink, though, here comes their spirit to embrace you ~ even as you mourn ~ and this is separate from the body that is no longer useful to them.

It is pure illusion that only the body remains. It was like this with Topper. His body lay down in our garage. Heavy snow and frozen ground lay outside. For the first time, ever, we couldn't even penetrate the ground to dig a grave. I've heard of this happening with people and the prospect was agonizing to me. It's something that had never come up before. In California most of my life, there was no Winter.

In the end, we had Topper cremated and his ashes spread out over a farm nearby, much like those places he loved to roam during his life. A friend's dog and his ashes were spread at the same time, so even in death, Topper's remains were not alone.

And besides this ~ each being has their own angels and guardians with them throughout their lives. No one is every truly alone, that's an illusion and not true at all. We have the most loving creator you can ever possibly imagine. This was a great blessing many of us remain unaware of but I can attest to it's truth and every being has them close at hand. We have simply forgotten. We can, however, ask for this remembrance at any time and it will be given.

Dogs and cats and other beings are not bashful or hesitant about incarnating right back into our lives. I hope you realize this. It's an easy decision for them. So, you need to always keep an eye and heart out for a new incarnation of their spirits. Some are simply exchanging bodies or envelopes for a newer version. An updated model. What became so clear to me and was the most important thing to get out of it was how wonderful and alive are the spirits of all those we loved and believe lost for a time. Death simply isn't so. They are there with us with a simple loving thought.

i know ~ this experience is a sad one but some of the sting can go away like a soft Summer breeze, if you realize that we are eternal beings. It is an illusion that we really die and go away at all. The veils are so thin now, as to be almost non-existent. I love how easy it is to contact spirit and have this special "knowing" that all is truly well. Shortly after, Topper's death, my own beloved Dad followed. It was like a preparation and a time to get my attention with this closer consideration of death.

Please know that nothing is ever lost. We will have the greatest reunions one day and that day is close at hand. When all the veils are transparent and we have true "sight" into all that has been taking place around us. We are mulit-dimensional. Had we the simplest glimpse into the new happier and higher heavenly dimensions awaiting us, it would be too distracting for us to return at all to the 3D and 4th ever again.

We must realize that as Earth ascends and as we ascend along with her, all that was thought lost will be returned to us many times fold. I send my love and great blessings to you Corson and everyone else who suffers a loss during this ascension process. It is said that many will leave and that this is written in our divine plans.

It is by personal choice and can only be made by the person. Some agreed to this long prior to birth. It is our concept of death that needs desperately to change and be updated into the new dimensions and fabulous realities that lie ahead for all of us. Be of good cheer for Cookie, Corson, and dry those tears, sweetheart.

Much love and a big hug! xoxoxox

Hi corson, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, reading this thread has brought tears to my eyes also, my Bernese mountain dog 'charlie' died three months ago, he was nearly 10 years old. I know this might sound strange, but following his passing I was desperate to know that he is ok, loved and cared for where he is now. Eventually I gave in and went to see a medium who I was told about, she was able to pick up on Charlie being around, she told me that he is ok, he is with his dog family, and would be waiting for me when it's my time to pass over.
Two weeks ago we have rescued a Newfoundland dog called murphy, he is a lovely loving big boy!

Please take care from Colin x
