Squirt - my Queen has crossed The Bridge

Dearest Leslie,

Sending you both my love....

I have no words, only tears after holding my breath reading your thread the last few days.

all my love precious girls

Leslie,
Nothing I can say will ease your pain right now. Sending love and prayers.

With a heavy heart I'm wishing Squirt a peaceful journey on angels wings.

Barbara

I am so sorry Leslie, My heart is heavy with pain and sadness. We will all miss our little Squirty...

I keep typing, then deleting because nothing comes close to expressing what I want to say so please just know that Squirt, you and the other pups will be in my thoughts and prayers.
It takes amazing love and courage to do the right thing for our pups when we know the heartbreak that we will feel.
Tomorrow there will be a bright shining star in the sky running free of pain.

Dear Leslie,
I am struggling to find words that might bring you even a tiny bit of the comfort that you have given to us. Sending you love and strength, and keeping you and Squirt in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Hi Leslie

Sending big hugs to you and Squirt because like the others I do not know what to do or say, like Zoe... Squirt has always been here since I joined this forum and it feels like a big part will be missing with the pair of them crossing over so close together. We love you Squirt, go well you beautiful girl xxxxxxxx

I too have no words, just know that I am thinking of you and Queen Squirt. You and squirt have been a huge inspiration to me and many on this forum.

Rest easy now Squirt and safe crossing xx

Leslie,
Thinking of you and Squirt today and sending all my love.

My heart is with you. I am so sorry to read this update. You have been such a comfort and pillar of strength for everyone on this forum. Lots of sincere hugs and prayers being sent your way.

My heart is breaking. You and Squirt have been there for us since the beginning of our journey, and this just doesn't seem real. You are both (and the other babies) in our thoughts and always in our hearts.
Sending love and strength.

Leslie:
I was up most of the nite saying this can't be real. I am praying that Squirt has a peaceful journey, and I know all the others that have crossed before will be at the bridge waiting anxiously to see the girl that beat the odds so many times. I can imagine the depth of anguish you are feeling dear Leslie, God help you and Squirt thru this.
Patti

I too have had you and Squirt on my mind through the night. I pray for your Queen Squirt to have a peaceful journey to the bridge and strength for you dear Leslie.

Sweet Squirt I have known you for a short time but you have touched so many lives and are loved by so very many. There will be a piece missing in all of our hearts.
God Bless you both.

I love you and Squirt and all the pups.

Thinking of you and sending lots of love and hugs.

I am sending you all the strength that I can Leslie. I am so sorry that Squirt is doing so poorly. There is nothing that I can say that will ease your pain. My pain is still so fresh from losing CoCo. Squirt is your heart and your baby. She was a special dog and no one could have loved and cared for her like you. I am crying for the pain that I know you are going through and blessing you for loving her enough to let her go. You are the most caring and strongest person I have ever read about. I am hoping you will take care of yourself. With loving prayers, JoAnne

Have to go to work but want to stop again to wrap my arms around you and Squirt with love and caring.

I am here too. Both of you are in my mind and my heart.

My heart is breaking for you Leslie. That was a beautiful poem you posted. God bless you and Squirt. Big hugs to you.

Thinking of you and Squirt this morning..

Barbara

I am here too, surrounding you both with love. xxxxxx

Sending strength and good thoughts this morning. Sail on Squirt.

My Sweet Bebe has flown. She is with her Sissy now. Thank you for being with us. We could both feel your love.

Squirt, forever my Anam Cara...............

Oh Leslie, I'm sorry. I'm just so, so sorry.
Please be well and take some comfort in knowing that Squirt is free of pain and many restrictions she had.
Fly away Squirt with your angel wings.
Leslie, it will be a beautiful reunion when you meet her again next time.
I'm so sorry. Hugs. Song.

I'm just so sorry Leslie. Nothing I can say will help you feel better, but know that we are all standing by you and I for one have an ache in my heart for you.

I kept putting off looking at the forum this morning, as if maybe if I didn't see the words then it wouldn't be real.

Fly free our Queen Squirt and watch over your momma, she is going to need to feel your love surrounding her.

Leslie, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry, but what a life she had eh. That girl she just had personality out the ying yang. All the best ones do you know. That is what makes their loss so huge! They leave a hole that seems to encompass the universe because their personalities were that big. They couldn't be contained and Squirt was certainly that. The way she would talk to you and nudge you to say, hey, hurry it up mom, I'm hungry. Or where have you been, it's been ages since you walked out the door. She said what was on her mind, that girl did. She made me laugh so many times with her antics and I loved to hear the stories of what she was up to and hated it so much when she felt down and had off days. It made your breath catch in your chest and then up she would rally and some new adventure in her life would happen. Today is the beginning of Squirts new adventure.

love and hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

I could not have said it better than Sharlene. Just know, hearts around the world are thinking of you and Squirt today.

I was scared to look and see this. I am so sorry Leslie. Squirt had a beautiful life with you. Blessings
Patti

Run free Queen Squirt xxx

So very sorry Leslie. You really did give Squirt the best life.
Fly free Squirt

So very sorry for your immense loss Leslie. Fly with the Angels Queen Squirt, you are whole and in no pain now.

Leslie, this poem gives me a lot of comfort. I love the Rainbow Bridge Poem, But this poem Loss of a Heart is to remind us they never really left us: I hope you receive some comfort from it.

The Loss Of A Heart

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep...
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear.
"It's me, I haven't left you. I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour your tea.
You were thinking of the many times, your hand reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to hold your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your keys.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be near you everyday.
To say with you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over.. I smile and watch you yawning...
and say "Goodnight, God Bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home with me.

I am so very sorry, Leslie. My heart breaks with yours.

I am so very sorry for your loss - I wish you strength and peace during this tremendously difficult time.

Someone said to me recently that we always know we will outlive our dogs but it doesn't make it any easier when we do. It made me think about how remarkable it is that, despite knowing they will be with us for a relatively short period of time, we throw all our defenses aside and love them boundlessly - just the way they love us.

Oh Leslie, I am so, so sorry....

I am so sorry Leslie. We all feel your pain.

My heart is breaking for you my very dear friend. Squirt had such a wonderful life with you. You were the best mom she could have had. You gave her so many years of love and happiness. You shared a very special bond. Fly free sweet Squirt.

I'm sending you tons of love and huge hugs. You are a very special lady.

Hi Leslie

It is a sad day for sure when I come to Squirt's thread to say goodbye to one of the matriarchs of our forum. We will all miss that little sweetheart and her endearing ways. She has given me many a laugh and a smile through your colourful stories of her great doggy life. I know you will keep on going and work through your grief as that is just the type of person you are, a tough bugger... just like Squirt!! I hope you know you have all of us to lean on as you grieve, no mater how sad we all are at the passing of one of our favourites you are the one feeling this loss the most, so now is the time for you to lean on us and let us help you. If you are ever up in the night feeling at a loss please come find me and I can chat till the cows come home about Squirty. We are with you darl and I am most confident our girl is with those she loves and the many friends we have lost here on the forum. Take Care Leslie and the gang we LOVE you all xxxxxxxx

I am so sorry Leslie. Squirt is with the Angels now and I'm sure she will be looking over you and thanking you for the great life you've given her.
Please be strong

Nadia

I am so very sorry Leslie. I have lit a candle to honor her memory and all Squirts adventures that made us laugh, made us smile and now make us cry.....

Rest in peace Sweet Bebe.... Tonight, you are our newest and brightest star in the sky....

(((HUGS)))
