Sonny Boy - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

frankly · 03-09-2012, 01:34 AM

I had to put my Chihuahua to sleep yesterday. He was with me for over 12 years. All the way to the end, he comforted me. He was with me through the hell of Mikes addiction and Bretts death.

My home is empty and quiet.

Sometimes I wonder if the pain ever has an end.

My Sonny Boy loved me so much, even when I felt that no one else did or ever really could. I know he wasn't human, but he was better than any human I have ever met.

I love you Sonny Boy.

So sorry for your loss, the link above isn't working
Properly just google rainbow bridge. It helped me when I've needed it most

So sorry Frankly. Animals can give us a purity of love that is so strengthening and beautiful. I'm sure Sonny Boy is watching over you and thanking you for the beautiful life you gave him.

Sending hugs from one grief warrior to another

(((Frankly))) My Toby brought me so much love and joy, yet the pain of losing him lasted so very long. Today, almost 3 years later, I can smile at the memories instead of crying over the loss.

I hope your Sonny Boy runs into my Toby, because if he does, I know they will be pals. My Toby loved dogs, I think he thought he was one.

Hugs and Hugs

I am so sorry for the loss of your Sonny Boy...We do love our animals, don't we? I feel the same as you, frankly. Take care, my thoughts are with you...

I have had better and longer relationships with many of my animals than with humans. I love them fully, completely and deeply, and they give that same love in return. I learned about unconditional love from my pets... and I have grieved the loss of all of them who have gone on. They are loving and devoted companions.

Someone who says "its just an animal" or to "get over it" clearly has not had the honor of experiencing that kind of love.

Im very sorry for your loss.

Sonny Boy was the first thing ever in my life that wanted nothing from me but my love and the ability for him to show me how he utterly adored me. It is the first time that I allowed myself to love and trust so completely. He wasn't going to leave me for another woman or drugs, he wasn't going to grow up and start his own family.

From the time I was born, no one wanted me, relationships only ended up wanting something from me, my kids needed me and life in general just wanted to kick me. Sammie and Sonny just wanted to love me, warts and all. Sammie has been with me for 14 years now and Sonny was with me for 12. Those two little chihuahuas saved my life on January 1, 2005 in my darkest hour. Now that Sonny is gone, Sammie wants nothing to do with me. It feels like I have lost them both.

He was my baby. It has been a month and it still feels so unreal, so wrong.

No, he wasn't just a dog, he was hope and love and a little bit of good in a very cruel world.
