beebalm 7,215 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Dearest Precious Sweet Donte our sweet Angel now ?...... My Mom and I are at a loss for words We can't believe it Auntie we feel your pain ? and we are so very sorry for your loss. We just don't have the words.... Sending you, Lacey and all your family our love during this most horrible devastating time? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marlene 14,113 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I am so sorry I can't post this in the appropriate place because my computer is only allowing me to post - not respond to others)....adding my heartbreak and condolences. Like others it never occured to me this would be the outcome of Donte's vet visit. I'll bet Donte will run across a special lady named Roseanne. She and her husband adopted Boxers through us and we kept in contact. Roseanne is so small, so fragile and so loving of all creatures.... She passed today. I think she just might stay at the Bridge as an angel to all sweet creatures that pass by her. I am in tears and I'm heartbroken for you Julia. Run free Donte...play and snuggle and do silly things until your Mama and Lacey meet up with you. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missysmom 24,975 Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Sweet sweet Donte, we love you so very much sweet angel, we only knew you a short time but loved you dearly, tears are flowing for you and your family this night. Run pain free now our love and we will all see you again at the bridge. Hugs, love and prayers to your dear family at this very sad time. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PipsMom 34,988 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Update: October 10th Julia wants me to pass along the message that she has read each and everyone’s condolences off and on through this terrible sad time and she isn’t able to remark just yet ......But know everyone’s comments and sentiments are deeply appreciated. When the time is right she will be back but till then you still can still leave a message and she will read them in her own time. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Also Donte is back home now with his family in a beautiful onyx urn... surrounded by his favourite toy duck and his paw print framed picture. Inside the duck is a some of his hair and other precious items 4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beebalm 7,215 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I so understand @Summerangel you not being able to type to us just yet. Even if you tried you wouldn't be able to see the screen with all your tears. I know you adored your boy oh so much ? Buying your black and white boy and girl of the same litter that very special day, not so long ago, was probably one of your favorite days of your life. Never did you expect to lose your treasure ? at such a young age so full of life. So happy you have Lacey to snuggle with in this oh so tough time. I bet losing a Shih Tzu is that much more difficult because they are the closet breed to being like a human baby, like how we spend one on one time for many minutes per day grooming them up close and personal. I know how sweet Donte's right front leg you called his adorable ‘sock' made you always smile oh so much (how you cherished him) and you now can smile because he jumping happily showing off his very special pretty sock to all the puppies at the rainbow bridge ? I really have empathy for you at this very horrible sad devastating time. Time does help heal some. Sending YOU love across the ocean...... hope my reply helped you some Off to hug on my little boy ? now …. this is all just too sad 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crinkly 15,586 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi Julia and Crystal, I've been wondering how Lacey is coping without her brother? Sending her love and snuggles too - because it must be very strange for her. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PipsMom 34,988 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I asked about Lacey just last night. She has had some quite reflective days but always ready to perk up once daddy gets home ...were she gets heaps of sugar 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missysmom 24,975 Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thank you for sharing Dontes memorial with us Julia, it is beautiful. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. And extra big hug to Lacey and you 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sending her love and snuggles too - because it must be very strange for her. Animals do grieve over the loss of their buddy. I lost a horse a few years ago. That evening when I was feeding them, one of my horses walked towards the back of the pasture just a calling for the missing one to come eat. Ordinarily this one doing the calling pushed everyone aside so he could eat first. Hugs to sweet little Lacey. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
minabey 3,687 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 My favorite photo and story is of your love of munching on a certain plant. Thought that was so adorable. Run free, Donte. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Summerangel 18,997 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just a short stay here today. I’ve read all your messages through lots of tears. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for all your kind words. I cant believe my little man has gone and I’ll never see him again or smell his unique smell or kiss his little paws. We are completely devastated. My life will never be the same ? Got to go, I can’t see through all these tears. Love you all xx 3 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your memories of all the good things from days past will be in your heart forever and will never leave you... Thought I'd share this, yes I cried watching too...
