    Gracie - Thank You for all the wonderful years.

    Gracie was our awesome little Terrier mix girl.
    Gracie passed a few weeks ago in early January.
    It's taking me awhile to deal with her loss.
    Looking back thru photos of her reminds of how much joy she brought to us.

    Gracie had several nicknames from Kim, my favorite was "my little tenderheart"
    That's because Gracie was such a gentle, quiet dog.

    It took us several days of walking her at first before we ever heard her bark. We were so excited she could bark!
    Gracie came to live with us on Nov 4, 2004 from a Craigslist ad. Gracie was a year or two by then, they'd gotten Gracie from the pound and put her online for sale.
    Gracie was for our daughter, but soon Gracie formed a tight bond with my wife Kim, then in the later years a tight bond with me.
    For several years I couldn't sit next to Kim on the sofa. Gracie would climb over me to get to Kim.
    Gracie learned to come paw at me when she wanted something. If I was upstairs in my bedroom Gracie would come scratch on my door.

    Gracie enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, twice a day, every day, usually at least an hour each walk.
    Kim took Gracie on her morning walk and I'd walk Gracie in the afternoon.
    When Gracie started slowing down in 2017, her long daily walks turned in daily car rides thru the surrounding neighborhoods.

    Gracie ruled our backyard. She bolted so fast out the patio door after squirrels that I placed mats on the patio tile end to end as a launch pad.
    Gracie's favorite nighttime backyard activity was sniffing for possums and skunks(twice!).

    When Gracie was happy, she liked to sneeze. And when really happy, butt surf on the living room floor.

I'm not comparing the loss of a pet to the loss of a child, parent, relative or friend, but the grieving process is the same.

    So sorry for your lose. We lost little Bandit late last year, Dazee our Elkhound a few years prior to that. All I can say is that time does heal the wound and the pain will eventually be replaced with fond memories.

    I think all dog owners/parents/friends share your grief. You know Gracie wouldn't want you to be sad, but its impossible not to be.

    It’s amazing how these wonderful creatures become such a part of our families. We had to let go of Shadow 3 years ago, and not a day goes by that I don’t remember the wonderful joy he brought to our family. Time WILL lessen your loss, but those memories you retain keeps them in our hearts.

    We feel for you and your entire family Gene. Like everyone else who will post here, we have had that same pain, many times.

    It never ceases to amaze me how many pet owners put themselves through this grief over and over again but then you read stories, like yours, of how wonderful and important these creatures are in our lives and I begin to realize how special they are and really essential for the kind of life I want to live. They teach us so very much about everything necessary to lead a life full of caring, loving, commitment, unselfishness, and compassion.

    Sorry for your loss brother. But think of it this way, she's got lots of buddies to run around with up there in doggy heaven. Hopefully she's met my girl Bella and little guy Murphy. I'm sure they are just having great fun now, just like they used to...
