A sad day

[7dachsmom]

Today was my Bubbas Birthday and i have not enjoyed my day at all!I have cried til my eyes are swollen almost shut.I miss him so much and on his birthday and special times he crosses my mind and I get misty eyed.Even though Bub was a pug not a dachshund he was a vital part of my family.He was MY first dog and opened my love to dogs.I have always been a animal lover but until him I never grasp the concept of someone loving you unconditionally.I packed up and moved with my daughter my cat and my Bub in tow after living in the same place for 15 yrs.Cause the new apartment owners requested me get rid of him.Thats how i came to my house.My 1 st house with bubba under my arm.Oh I miss him and I continue to cry at the loss of him.He went to the bridge in October 2004 and I still find myself going outside trying to find him at times.He is sorely missed by me his sister and all his pupper brudders and sistahs.:sorry: :sorry:4_EVER MOM"S BIG MAN!!!!

The Able Dogs board has lost several babies this week. Someone posted a poem, I cannot remember it all, but it closed with the concept that the best place to bury a dog was in his owner's heart where he would be carried and kept safe forever.

Bubba is safe in your heart.

:hug2: I know what it is like, their birthdays and the dates of their passings still get to me too.

:bighug: It's not easy and it never will be !! As long as Bubba lives on in your heart he will be right at your side. ;)

This is a poem that always helped me after I lost my beloved Purzi:



We have a secret, you and I
that no one else shall know,
for who but I can see you lie
each night in the fire glow?

An who but I can reach my hand
befor we go to bed
and feel the living warmth of you
and touch your silken head?

And only I walk woodland paths
and see ahead of me
your small form racing with the wind
so young again, and free.

And only I can see you swim,
in every brook I pass.

And when I call no one but I
can see the bending grass.

I'm so sorry. My heart also goes out to you on this bittersweet day. When your heart is aching, ...know that it is your sweet boy, Bubba giving it a hug.

Bubba was clearly a very special part of your heart. He will remain there until you meet again. I still cry for Stinker. Take care.
