This is the first time I have posted since losing our wonderful dog Sharon last Wednesday.
Sharon Post Here

It has been an awful week, with many lows and a few highs when thinking of the "good times" we had.

However, I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your lovely messages you posted after we lost Sharon. The poems you all left had me in tears, they were absolutely lovely, and gave both me and my OH much comfort during some very very sad and tearful days.

I have copied all the posts to keep, because your words all gave me comfort.

Life is........well..........not sure what to say..............sad and empty..

I have received a lot of messages, emails, texts and also messages on our website. It just goes to show just how much our beloved Sharon touched the hearts of many. Also my apologies for not replying until yesterday to the many kind heartfelt messages, but I was really struggling to speak to anyone without breaking down in tears..

Gosh I miss her soooooooooooo much. I go and visit her grave each night and have a conversation, let her know we still love her so much, and miss her terribly. We have now put a tribute page for her on our website....as its the least we can do.

Her friend, Megan, is missing her, and I am not quite sure about her health just now either...........maybe I am being paranoid......

But the main point of this whole thread is to really say THANK YOU to everyone on HHO, family, friends and clients.....the messages has meant a great deal to us.

And again to pay tribute to our fabulous dog......Sharon....here are some of the "special" moments I cherish of her....especially the ones with a piece of straw or hay in her mouth....as that was her party piece...

Gosh C, what a tear-jerker thread this is. I am in tears here, for you, and for myself

. It's so, so hard to come to terms with; all I can say is that eventually it does get better. It took me a good year to get over the loss of my collie Poppy and there isn't a day goes by that I don't smile across to her grave, or go over and have a little chatter to her. Now I can do that without crying, but boy in the early days, it was really tough.

Megan looks so like Poppy facially; she is lovely. Sharon looks, as usual, delightful in those photos with her little piece of straw.

Look after yourself. I have no words of wisdom I'm afraid, as I was a wreck so I have no idea how to make it easier. Just time, lots of it, and then eventually it gets easier to accept.

Oh, that first Sharon photo with the straw, the look in her eyes just really goes straight through the screen.

Glad to hear you feel you can talk to her when you're at her grave, read what others write to you about her and such, because I've never believed in my grandmothers attitude of "lets not talk about anything that makes you cry or feel sorrow" ( strange really, I was 7 when my greatgrandmother died and as I recall she had a much better attitude towards sorrow and death, and luckily enough so does my mother, so I don't know why my grandmother always acted and said the things she did).
No, when my youngest nephew ( 7 years ) goes around and says godbay to Humla's soul before he leaves after sleeping over, I feel mostly happy knowing that he remembers her, that she touched his heart to.

Sorry to hear that Megan also is so sad, and really wish I could tell you she will live forever, but I do hope/think there should be a good chance for nothing to happen to soon. What a bad expression, not to soon... It's always to soon...


Hugs from Sweden.
 
What a very emotional thread. Tears first thing on a Friday morning.

I feel your loss. Many, many hugs ((((((( ))))))))
 
What lovely pictures, she was obviously such a character. When I lost my old GSD in 2006 (and I still miss her so much even now), her daughter pined terribly. Although she was eating okay she lost all her sparkle, and became very clingy. I ended up taking her to training classes (at 6 years old), just to bring her out of herself. Megan is probably feeling miserable too, which is why she is giving you concern. Try doing some new things to stimulate her. I hope she and you start feeling a little better soon, buy boy do these dogs leave enormous gaps in our life when they go

Bless you all for your lovely messages.

You know, there are many people on HHO, and it is during these times that you realise just how many of you are so kind, comforting and special.

During the last week I have truely felt blessed in the fact I am part of HHO, and have had the opportunity to meet some fantastic people on here, who although I have never met face to face......are willing to give comfort, best wishes and {{hugs}} to someone who is going through a difficult time. But also the lovely heartfelt messages regarding Sharon......words cannot say how much that means.

You are all such wonderful people, and dont let anyone say anything different.....

The thread certainly opened the flood gates for me. It will be 2 years in March I lost my Staffie Jess, she had cancer, we knew it was coming but still had to make the decision to let her go before she suffered, it was heartbreaking.

We had her cremated, her box is on my window sill next to our bed so she still watches over us. She never liked the cold, rain or wind so I thought she wouldn't like to be buried so she'll always be in the warm now from the sun through window (this all sounds daft now when I write it but that's how I felt at the time).

I talk to her all the time, say goodnight to her every night but I can look back & laugh at the things she did now instead of crying constantly, can look at her pictures and smile.

They are never "just a dog" but a huge part of your family, Jess was 12 when we lost her but I will remember her all my life.

This is Jess with her favourite ball, this ball lasted her years & years, anything else she destroyed within 2 minutes:

I love looking at the photos of Sharon with the straw in her mouth. It's not often that you get a dog with a signature characteristic like that and you will never forget her.
