Life isn't the same

[rosebud78]

My little puppy died over the summer. She was only two years old and the sweetest little doggie ever. Her name was Cinnamon, although she looked more like paprika as she got older. I feel awful especially at night when I get ready for bed, I used to watch her try and jump on the bed and laugh, until she made it up or she just looked at me like Hello, some help. No one really understands what it is like, they all think it's just a dog, but she was more than that. I miss how she would box with you, and how her and her big sister would play all the time. When ever I took her for a walk how people would just stop you on the street to comment about what a cute doggie. I just plain miss my dog.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Cinnamon. I know what it feels like having lost two pups this year and last year. Even though you are surrounded by other people and pups, you still yearn for your little ones that have passed on to Rainbow Bridge. :hug2: :hug2:

Oh!! I have been there, I know exactly how you feel...as many members of the board do as well. I am so sorry for your loss. They say time heals all wounds however I am convinced "they" never had a dachsie to love, cherrish, play with, laugh at, cuddle with, and sadly lose. We are all here for you anytime you need a "shoulder." :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: To you to help you through this very difficult time.

Cinnamon...and hugs to you! :hug2:

Cinnamon will always live in your :heart:.

:hug2: One day you'll meet again at Rainbow Bridge and your little one will greet you with all the love that she showed you before she left. :hug2:

I wish we had the words to tell you how very sorry we are for your loss!

Lots of healing :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: for you to help you cope with your pain.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You've come to the right place to grieve...everyone here loves their dogs as much as you love Cinnamon, and almost everyone has experienced your pain. :hugs1:

If it helps you, we'd love to hear tales of Cinnamon and see her pictures.

She is waiting patiently at the Bridge for the day the two of you will be reunited. Here's the link if you haven't heard of it. It may provide you with some comfort. Rainbow Bridge (http://www.petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm)

You have come to the right place to find others who understand the heart break you are feeling. My first post to this board was made just days after loosing my little Mill mother Aggie. Please post more of your memories of your time with Cinnamon as you feel up to it.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cinnamon sounds like she was the typical, perfect doxie. I smiled reading your description, and cried, knowing how much you miss her.

You're right, not all will understand; but that is why we are here. If ever there was a group of people who could understand how you are feeling, it's here.

I know it won't heal your pain right now, but you will see your little Cinnamon again, and for now she is healthy and happy, waiting for you at the Bridge.

:hugs1:

Those of us who have lost furkids . . . feel your pain and . . . *we get it*. They are NOT, just dogs.

Time will help heal, but we know how hard it is to wait for "time".

Just know that we are all right here . . . with you *and* for you!

[Heide]

sorry for the loss of Cinnamon.
Some people dont understand how we feel, but we do. I have gone through it also. Many :hug2: :hug2: :hug2: :hug2: to you. We are here at any time you need us.

I always know I shouldn't read these. It has been one year, 35 days since we lost Muffin. I'm still waiting to feel better. None of my friends seem to be able to empathize with how Dennis & I feel. I know he will be at the Bridge but sometimes, I'm in so much pain. I really do know how you feel. Is it possible for you to adopt another one? It would NOT be replacing Cinnamon; it's just that sometimes, a new addition really helps. That's worked for us; none have made us think of him any less or miss him any less, but there are more laughs in the house now than before we added to the Lunch Bunch! I'm hoping that it is possible for you to locate another to adopt/save, especially if you could do that before Christmas. So sad for you. Praying you will feel better soon. Gay

I am looking for a new puppy, but it seemed that no doxies in the area had puppies this time around. Hopefully for my birthday there will be a little wiggly puppy in my future. I know I am a complete dork, but I already know what I want to name her and can't wait to hear little puppy paws running through the house. Thanks guys for all the support. I am so glad I found this site.

I'm so sad and sorry that you lost your precious Cinnamon and at such an incredibly young age too bless her heart. It must have been truly heartbreaking for you. :hugs1:

When I lost Herbie, my heart broke into a million pieces and I didn't think the pain would ever go. It did ease eventually though and although there will always be a Herbie-shaped hole in my heart, my darling Scooby has done so very very much to bring back the joy to my heart that was missing. I hope you'll be comforted to know that everyone here does understand and feels your pain. Run free at the Rainbow Bridge little angel :angel:

[Heidismom]

Oh, my! I can't imagine losing one at age 2! I am crying right now as I reply to your sad post. Yes, you have come to the right place - we do get it! None of our furkids here were just "dogs"! Do please share more pictures - we'd love to see your precious :angel: ! I have been in your shoes, and lost three dachsies in 10 months, followed by my father a month after the third loss! We do understand and are here to help you through this. Do please post anecdotes of Cinnamon, and pictures if you can. Making a scrapbook of memories might be a good project for you - remembering the good times helps!

[Bailey'sMommy]

I'm so sorry for your loss....they really become like children.

Thanks goodness you have such special memories of her in times like this....

We're here if you need to talk. :bighug:

I am so sorry to read of the sad loss of your Cinnamon :(

We are here for you anytime you need us :hug2:

We lost our beloved Doxie Dudley at 5, I am sending you :hug2: because I know it hurts. We have Dexter now who we love like I would never have thought we could after losing Dudley, but Dudley will always be my special boy and forever loved. A new puppy will never talke the place, but develop a new place for a new love.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. I couldnt imagine it. Your story was sad but also heartwarming. Especially how people would stop you and ask about her! That is a special feeling isnt it? You do have your memories and hopefully those will fill that empty spot alittle. How did you lose her if you can share this .... if not I understand. I dont want to be disrespectful but am curious. I'm sending you some :rayz: . I hope your puppy wish comes true!

You know we lost our Skipper 1 year ago today, it was the most heartbreaking day , and on New Years Eve, A day I will never forget. Soon after we started to look for a little one to bring us joy again and we were lucky that someone right here on the Board who is a meember had one little guy left and offered him to us, he was god sent to fill a hole in our home from our loss, we will never forget Skipper and now we have Peanut who is just as wounderful and lovable as Skipper was. So dont give up, theres a pupper out there somewhere looking for you.:hug2:
