Thank you so much. It’s been really hard, and we miss him so much. We will get another mini-schnauzer again one day, but not anytime soon.

This is my Olivia and she traveled to Rainbow Bridge in 2014. She was our baby girl and so deeply loved by us. I am crying as I post this. Her absence feels like a dagger to the chest.
I really hope that someday I can be reunited with her and all of our other animal companions.

I am very sorry for your loss. We are in a waiting game of one of our pups for congestive heart failure…unfortunately we can’t fix it & now just wait…Our friends just lost their pup off 11 years a week ago now…May I ask where you I got this acrylic from? They asked me to make a plaque for Emma’s Box…This one is beautiful & I would like to offer the color option to them. Thank you. Positive vibes sent your way through the grieving stages.

Thank you so much. It has been very hard, and it’s been a little over 2 weeks. I still think he’ll be there when I turn the corner.
I purchased this acrylic through an online shop here: 1/8" (0.118/3.0mm) Ivory Haze - 12" x 19" Sheet – Houston Acrylic
I am so sorry your pup is ill.

You and your pup are in my positive thoughts. I would love to see a picture of your pup. We’re a big family here and we always share personal photos especially when it comes to animal companions.

You are absolutely gorgeous and he is so precious!!!
The forever goodbye for a deeply loved animal companion is one of the most traumatic moments in a person’s life.
Unfortunately I have experienced a forever goodbye many times and it never gets easier. I believe it gets more difficult the older you get.
On December 31, 2013, I had to say a forever goodbye to my precious Dudley. For many weeks I was catatonic. One day I was searching on the Internet for something to help me. I came across this eulogy and it changed my perspective. Even though Dudley was not physically here —-all the energy his body gave was still here.
All the barks, the wagging his tail, the licking of my face when he gave me a kiss—- it was all still here.
I am going to post this eulogy and hopefully it will help you during this very sad moment in your life.
After you read the eulogy think of a moment you shared with him that made you laugh. The energy that was created is still here and so is the memory.
AARON FREEMAN:
You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got.
And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever.
And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives.
And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly. Amen.
