Reading your post brough tears to my eyes. My heart goes out to you during this hard time. Hugs to you and your family. It seems so little for the huge amount you have done for us all. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Now that Dale is home with you, I hope she brings you peace and comfort.

Hope you get another bully soon, which ever kind it is.

I wish I could fast forward time for you to get past the bitter pain and into the fond memories. Hang in there!

I wouldn't want to leave them behind either. I only have one, but Sid is sitting on the bookcase in my dining room.... The hospital where he was put to sleep did his paw prints on a card for me with his name and thats framed in my bedroom.

Thinking of you today

you and Dale are both in my thoughts. I know how this affects us deeply. Dale is there watching over you while she waits. Sending you a big hug.

Ron and I were discussing this very thing last night as we have two urns that are in our dressing room closet ;o( they need to be buried properly, I agree.

You will have an 'epiphany' and figure what to do with them very soon

My love and heartfelt hugs are with you today and always. RIP, sweet, sweet Dale.

I have all my boys and Oreo on a shelf in my closet where I can see them. My kids have instructions to put them in with me when it's my time.

The Bullies I've lost are lined up on the bookshelf, each in their tin. When we moved from the last house to here I left behind my Cocker, my rabbit, a cat and a bird buried under the blue spruce tree and decided I didn't want to leave any more behind.

I hope that in the future you can get another bulldog of some type.. you will make the best MOM in the world for a rescue dog with all your knowledge and compassion for this breed.
my thoughts are with you tonight as you lay Dale to rest with her ashes.

makes it so final. She's not in that box, so no matter what you do with it. Her little spirit will be with you always, no matter where you go.

Hugs,

I don't rescue animals because I want to feel better about myself, or morally superior to anyone. The best part of my life with animals is the humility they teach and the humanity the foster.

It's so very hard to lose a pet that you have loved and has been family to you for so long. I am sorry to hear this, but I am sure you wouldn't trade your time with her for anything. I'll be keeping you in my prayers.

Would you ever consider having their ashes buried with you?

Whatever your decision, I wish you the best.

I am so sorry you are hurting my friend. I wish there was more I could do for you, but maybe just knowing there are so many here who share your grief, and understand your pain, will help in some way. Many prayers are with you....

Amy and Sophia

for you today.
and here's one for you too {{Ela1ne}}

when she first came home

I know how you feel. Chief was the first dog I had cremated and I struggled what to do with his ashes. Do I bury the ashes in my back yard where all my other dogs were buried? Do I buy a nicer urn and display his ashes? A combination of the two? I could never decide what I wanted to do with his ashes so I kept them in my china cabinet until my Mom died and then I knew what I was going to do. I ended up burying his ashes in the coffin with my Mother. I knew she would have wanted it that way and it gives me a little comfort to know they are together.

I'm so sorry you're going through this
I understand how difficult it is.

and I just gave Ozzy a big hug for you.


"I love Ozzy"

What a blessing you were to Dale. What a blessing you will be to a rescue dog in the future.

I've been there too & I do feel your pain...
I hope you can fill the hole in your heart soon.
Sending my sympathy.



Pretty Please...

you tonight.

And always .....Winston

I now have seven urns sitting up on my fireplace mantle. I can't bury them either. My plan is that they be buried with my ashes, tho hopefully not for a long, long time.

Sorry for your loss just got mine and love him so much. Will pray for you XOXOXO.

I'm so glad they did a nice job with Dale's box. Grover's ended up being pretty amazing to me, as simplistic as it was. I hyperventilated when I had to pick it up though... so I know that pain too well.

I do hope you can convince your husband that you need more bullie in your life.

I am sorry for your heavy heart right now, take care and I am sending you a big hug.

buried our dogs here because this is where we will be buried someday too. We will have our own family cemetery, pets included. Hugs and sloppy kisses from our house to you.

The first one of my babies I lost it happened so fast, I didn't have time to think I was so numb with grief. I cry about him anytime I talkk about him. He was my heart. I never got his ashes, so the next ones that followed I wouln't get them either because I didn't have Harley's. When my Miko passed last Christmas the vet's office got them for me, I felt terrible to have hers and non eof the others, but she was my oldest and lived the longest she was 14! I have hers and I don't think I'll ever part with them. They will go with me. I feel your pain, and pray that one day you will be ale to give your heart again.

Frenchie or bullie, whichever you get, your husband will fall in love. You'll be great dog parents again.

Woof!

this time is...

hugs

When a bulldog you love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure...
(In loving memory of Kaddy; 12yrs 8mos 3wks)

there are no words to make the hurt go away, but know that your loss was felt by us all,

I got Sadie's ashes yesterday. I am not sure what to do with them, either. I don't think I am going to bury them in my yard because what if I move? There is a family cemetary in Kentucky where my dad and grandparents are buried. My aunt has buried all her dogs' ashes there, and her dogs never even went to Kentucky. Sadie was born on the farm owned by the same people who tend to the family cemetary just down the road from them. So I may eventually put her to rest there (and I hope to be buried there myself when the time comes). My cousin, from whom I got Sadie, told me she would be happy to bury her there. But for now I am keeping her with me.

Hugs,
Janice

It is really comforting to have the last remains of your with you. Nobody can care as good as you!

I've got two in my closet, too. And I will take them with me, if I move...

Elain, tell you hubby that a (rescue)frenchie is essential for you to have around, a house without a dog isn't a house!

Hang in there, the hurting will get less...
