Lulu 11 y.o. Pom has gone over the Rainbow Bridge to meet Jojo

Glynda,

Sonja is right. You are here for everyone all the time, doing whatever you can to help. Now it is time for you to grieve, and for us to be here for you.

Addy is also right; I know without a shred of doubt in my mind that Lulu was thrilled with her life because of you. I am so glad you shared what happened with us, so that we can try to understand what you are going through. I am crying almost as hard as I would be if I had lost my own dog. I know the bond you speak of with Lulu. That is what Hannah is to me, so I can imagine how broken your heart feels.

I, too, was won over immediately with your avatar picture of Lulu. It was the one you were using when I joined two years ago, and I was immediately drawn to her cuteness. I have no doubts that no one could resist giving her whatever she wanted.

As horribly difficult as it was for you to let her go, I am glad you did not have to question anything, and that your decision was validated by the vet. I'm so glad that vet was the one to be there on that day, to help you through it. I'm so sorry that it was sudden, and that you couldn't take more time to say goodbye to her, but I know Lulu was where she wanted to be when she passed-in her mom's loving arms.

Glynda, Lulu was one incredibly lucky little dog, and no one knows it more than her. Don't focus on the difficulties she faced in her life. You said yourself how happy she acted, despite her difficulties, and how much that little tail wagged. Think about the happiness and love you gave her and how much you enriched her life, as well as how much joy and love she brought you.

I am so very sorry your little girl is gone. You and Gil are in my thoughts.

Julie & Hannah

Dearest Glynda, What sad news...I'm so sorry to hear of little Lulu's passing. May God comfort you and give you strength during this difficult time...
Hugs, Leah

I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Glynda and Gil

I am terribly saddened by Lulu’s passing. As others have said is something hard to believe and accept. I read the thread several times and between the disbelief and the tears flowing down my cheeks, it finally sunk into my heart. I ran immediately towards my baby Nina and as my heart was braking in thousand pieces I started kissing her forehead telling her all the times sweet Lulu’s avatar- alias Glynda” was there for me and so many others, no matter what, no matter how many cush-parents were in trouble, no matter how big or how small the doubt was, Lulu’s avatar was always popping into our lives, with so much insight.

I wish words would ease the pain that you and Gil are feeling right now, but they all seem so hollow….I’m truly sorry. I just wanted to let you know that I and for sure all your Cushing’s family are grieving with you. Your sweet Lulu was and forever will be loved as one of our own furbabies.

Thank you for all the times you helped me, for all the times you read my long stories, for all the times you listened, for all the answers you gave me, all the guidance and all the laughter. Please take a time for yourself and let us listen to you. I just hope that all the love that I am sending your way plus all the love that all your friends here and at home can mitigate little by little the loss of adorable Lulu.

For me, you and Lulu were ONE HEART talking to me, so I know that although she no longer will be among us, every time that you’ll talk or guide any of us, Lulu will also be guiding us, because she’ll forever be embedded into your heart.
You and Gill will be in my thoughts. Special candles will be lit in Lulu’s memory. I’m sure Truffa, Jojo, and a lot of furry babies will be enjoying beautiful “soirees” and amazing times at the Rainbow Bridge. Fly whole and free sweet Lulu, and keep watching over your mommy.


“Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.”

"In the Candle's Glow" by Laura Hickman

Marcella, you so beautifully wrote exactly how we are all feeling. Thank you for being our voice.

Glynda, thinking of you and sending love as you start the new week.

I have only cried twice today, once after reading all of your beautiful words and once answering questions from coworkers about what happened to Lulu. Otherwise, I'm holding up much better than expected; however, I mustn't go back and read all of your wonderful posts or it's all over for me. I am bowled over by the depth of your compassion yet I shouldn't be surprised because I've seen it time and time again whenever one of our family is grieving or worried about their precious pup. It's just a lot more overwhelming when you are the recipient of all that love and compassion.

It's difficult for me to read such beautiful sentiments as it sets me off on a huge crying jag. If I had an ounce of sense, I would have stayed away but what am I supposed to do? This place is my home away from home and if the truth be known, I have more in common with my family here than my biological family.

It's still very difficult for me but you sure make it a lot easier, and oh my, that includes those of you who don't often post but took the time to acknowledge the loss of my Lulu. Thank you so, so very much for being here for me, Gil and all of our furbutts. I love you and I hope you all know that you and your precious pups own a piece of my heart and always will.
