@MamaBee, I just got caught up with this thread and read of your loss of Bailey. I'm so, so sorry. I know there's nothing I can say to really help. It is, and has been, obvious to me for some time now how much you and Bailey loved each other and how happy and content he was in the life you made for him. You're not alone in your grief, as you can see - we know well what you're feeling - even on those days when it feels like you're alone, please know that you're not and feel those spiritual hugs over the miles.
Meanwhile, among the pups and kitties that other Pricescopers have mentioned are greeting him and playing with him over the bridge, please add the sweet collies Lucky, Katie, Abraham, Andrew, and Crockett, who will make it their duty to see that he is surrounded by a loyal pack into eternity, and kitties Buckwheat, Paddy Paws, Squeaker, Little Booper, Mr. Silver Slippers, Shrimp Scampi, Little Bit, and Baby Girl, who will fill his days with leg rubbies and noggin' bumps.
@MamaBee i just caught up as well. So sorry for your loss. It’s truly like losing a part of you. Time will heal but in the meantime, take care of yourself. You are not alone at all. Lots of love!
Thank you Cerulean It’s true..I feel like an arm or leg is missing. He followed me everywhere. I couldn’t use the bathroom without him parking himself outside the door until I came out.If I moved to another room to sit..he followed me…Some people don’t like when their pets do that. I did. I felt his love for me. I know he knew I loved him too. I told him every day.
Kissing a cold hard cardboard box of ashes is a poor substitute for my darling Tibby
Hugs. That’s exactly why we buried Lily’s ashes. I couldn’t abide having her with me but not anywhere near. It was heartbreaking, but for us it’s also been the most liberating. She’s on the hill with the chipmunks - her frenemies - forevermore. And she will always be with us no matter how far. Oh how I miss her! She was my heart dog….
Isn’t that maddening? We’ve replaced many a keyboards from which our nieces/nephews have “liberated” keys…
Im sorry about Lilly's passing
Hugs back
We are going to bury his ashes in the garden in one of his favourite spots but we have to paint the house and build a new fence first before we can do the garden
so meanwhile he sits on the china cabinet and looks after my day's jewlery
He was such a big cat and its such a tiny box

How are you doing today, @MamaBee? Do things look a little bit brighter?
I’m so sorry @MamaBee. I wish there was something I could say to take this pain away.
I’m hoping things work out so you can be with your grandchildren this weekend. You deserve some joy.
@AnastasiaBeaverhausen It was a hard day today. I drove us to our other house in Maryland. Bailey always stood up in the back of the cargo area taking in the sights. I loaded the luggage there because now the cargo area is empty. I kept looking back to see him when I was driving…but of course he wasn’t there. When I got to the house I had to get all his beds, bowls, etc. and put them in a trash bag so I couldn’t see them. My husband will put them in his car when he gets here. I made one trip to a rescue to donate his things. This will be the last load. It’s actually harder now because it’s settled in that I won’t see him anymore.
Thank you so much for asking..

I'm so sorry it's hitting you hard now. My moment of realization was the first time walking thru the door after my dog's passing and not hearing the tippy taps of her paws.
It does get easier over time. But yeah, it really sucks for a while. Virtual hugs if you want them.
I remember this feeling so well. You are doing better than I was - I couldn’t bring myself to move anything, but couldn’t stand to see it all without her. My darling DH took everything downstairs until I could manage to see it again. Somehow it was easier seeing things out of place where she normally wasn’t. I know your pain. I’m so sorry for your loss!
Thank you @bright&shiny I find it really hard to have his things around. I found a fluff of his hair. I put it in a baggie to keep. It’s miserable..
