In Memory of "Marbles" ( my heart is broken)

Never posted in the cantina before Karda,

Your story brought tears to my eyes. Marbles is a lucky dog to have found your family. Gracie has a few nicknames too. I called her poopers while getting her house trained, which turned into a german translation of voofers. Since the kids heard me call her voofers, now they do too. Try to remember all the good you did for Marbles, hopefully that will lessen the loss.
 
Thank you unky and chris.
You are welcome to post here and participate in our discussions as well as anyone else.
The cantina is a gathering place for our friends.

My dad used to love to listen to Eddie Arnold. I miss him too.
This goes out to my friend Kronckew and anyone else feeling like i do right now. To anyone in pain or who has suffered loss.

So sorry...daschunds have personality, that is for sure, sounds like you lost both a person and a pet...and there are very few greater losses than that combination. I'll PM you with more on the subject. I need to keep it short but sweet. Peace, Marbles, and rest...rest....
 
Thank you, David.
Yes, that is why it hurts so much, i feel like i've lost a child.
I'm sorry if i've made anyone cry or feel as badly as i do.
Even though misery love company, it was not my intention.
Just remember those you've lost fondly and make sure those still with you know how much they mean to you.
 
You're very welcome. I don't believe any regular of the Cantina would ever intentionally spread misery. Making people feel for you means that you are great conveying emotions through text. So, perhaps, someone named Karda could be on future children's reading lists someday? I do not want to say anything further about that though. This is Karda's thread about Marbles, and I will make sure to keep it as such. Peace, everyone.

Sorry for your loss. Me and my wife have lost 3 dogs in the past 4 years. It's hard that's for sure. Ours were Basset hounds, all three got cancer. Our dogs are family, the sign on our door says just that. Unconditional love, dogs are always there for you. Be it a wagging tail to greet you when you get home, or just to cheer you up when you're feeling down. It's just a shame that their time is so much shorter then ours is. You have our condolences, me and my wife.
 
Dear Marbels, peace journey
 
I understand your grief, your loss and your misery. My condolences and thoughts of love to both you and your wife, Karda.

When thinking of my little friends that have left me begins to weigh on me and bring me down, I will stop and remember them in times when they were happy whether it be running, howling, swimming or getting attention. It has worked for me, though their loss will still pop up and haunt me. Please, don't let the darkness of depression sap you of your strength, your joy, your peace and your love.

Peace

Rick
 
Karda - our condolences to you and your family on the loss of a good friend.
 
Sorry about your loss man. Hearing stories like this make me wanna go hug my to cats, and give them some extra loving.

Unfortunately, time is the only thing that I feel heals things.
 
Oh my... I have been away for too long...

Karda, myfriend, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I know hearing those words, along with all the "I know how you feel" stuff often rings hollow when it seems that how COULD anyone know how you feel. THe answer is that no one can - a pet truly never is a pet - rather another family member, that now you must cope with the loss. While there is nothing I can say that will bring you immediate consolation, though I wish there were, perhaps I can offer somethign that will give you some longer term consolation - You have done everything you could have for the best, you have fought the good fight, you have kept your head high and proud in the idea that you have done everything within your power to provide the absolute best for your friend and family member. No one can think less of you of you for it, and I too shed a tear for you in your loss and pain.

He does, indeed, wait for you, with patience and love, on the other side.
 
Thank you all for your words, they do mean much to me.
Each day seems to bring more healing. We are trying our best. It will just take time.
We understand his time here with us was limited and i think we are at the part of missing him.
It's just so quiet here.
 
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hug away ab!, that was one thing that marbles loved. to hug, to snuggle, to wash your face and behind your ears. He took great care of his people. He loved to help.

Thank you for the RB quote. I firmly believe that i will see marbles again when i finish my star journey.

Is missy pedigreed? Is she a dapple dachshund? It is feasable that you may have marbles sister. We got marbles from a breeder whom had been in business for about 50yrs from the midwest (Kansas), whom only retired a few years ago. I would love to see a pic and compare certifications with you. You may post a pic here or send one to my email in my signature.

Karda I am so sorry to hear about your loss. There is nothing that can compare to the love of a dog. The most unconditional pure love there is.
