Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Sad news...need a shoulder

I want to give you ALL a big hug and thank you for all your kind words, prayers, stories, and sympathies. Its still soon, so the grief is still kind of fresh, and I look around the house and remember all the stuff she did, all her little quirks and mannerisms. But then I think that the fact that I can recall all that means that she'll never truly be gone, and I know I'll see her again someday.

However, I feel a bit selfish because I worry what effect this might have on my IBS recovery.

I hope that is an ok feeling to have. I missed a few sessions on my CDs (again!) and had some D this morning. I'll get over it like always. I just feel a bit bad that I worry about me at this time.

My mom is taking it a bit harder. She was with her a whole year (mostly) alone while I went to school in Orlando and she's having a hard time coping with it. And the other two dogs seem to know she's missing, too, especially her little boy. I just pray they all move on ok. I know I will.

I found a good picture of her from last Christmas that I'd like to share in her honor. I have photos and some video of her that if it ever gets a little hard to recall her best, I can easily be reminded of exactly the kind of dog she was. She was regal, dignified, danity, and curious. And no dog will ever take her place.

Again, thank you all. Im sure where she is, Rusty appreciates it, too. I have at times felt she's still around us now, watching over us and helping us move on.
