Harriet has gone to the Bridge

[Lizzie]

My darling angel finally told me that she had had enough, the cancer had just got too much so we eased her journey to another place this afternoon, she died in my arms and I will never stop loving my sweet and faithful pal of nearly 12 years.

Run free my little sweetheart with all your limbs in the lovely green fields, no more pain, no more anguish, just peace and tranquility. My heart has gone with you.

I am so sorry not to have sent personal messages but it is so painful and I want everyone to know. :cry:

[Jeremy]

I'm so sorry Lizzie. :cry:

Just remember that she had 12 years of happiness with you.

[Diddeen]

Sorry to hear your sad news Lizzie. 12 years.. wow thats a great age for a dog! Just remember your good times together..

Oops sorry Lizzie i didnt realise Harriet was your dog. I can imagine how much she will be missed.
Take care.

[Adele]

We are all here with you, and you will not be alone over the forthcoming days and weeks, please do not hesitate to phone me at anytime, I will probably only cry with you down the phone :cry: :roll: but you know we are here.

Sending all out love, sympathy and great big HUGS

[Lizzie]

[Maaike_Butter]

Oh, Lizzie, I'm so, so sorry. I'm so very happy to have met the wonderful Harriet in real life, she was a wonderful, wonderful dog. I loved her straight away!

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I don't know what else to say, except that you're in my thoughts...

*hugs*

[kimbun's mum]

I am so very sad at you news Lizzie.

Harriet is now running free and looking down on you - I am sure she is telling all the other animals what a lovely mummy she had.

I am thinking of you and our doggie Meg is sending you a big lick and a huge old english sheepdog big furry hug.

[Denny]

So sorry to hear this news Lizzie :cry: :cry: Harriet was a stunning looking lady with such gorgeous curly locks, truely beautiful.

The special bond that we have with our pets is one of love, companionship, and loyal friendship, we all know that it is this special bond that makes the parting so very hard and painful and my heart goes out to you Lizzie :cry: :cry:

Time is a healer although it may not seem like that at the moment but you will smile with fondest memories of Harriet one day and be so glad that she was a part of your life, and still is apart of your life as we never forget those whom we love so very very much

run free little Harriet

[rngpwelfare]

I'm so sorry to hear our very sad news Lizzie.

Please take comfort in that you gave her everything you could to try a slow this horrible disease, you made her last few months good ones.

Take care love and hugs to both you and Lottie.

[Jaypot]

My heart goes out to you Lizzie :( You made Harriet so very happy and she had a wonderful life with you. This must be so hard for you but you did the greatest thing of all, you let her go when she asked you to. The ultimate sacrifice of all, letting a loved one go when all we want to do is keep them with us :cry:
Harriet will be remembered by so many people, those who met her, those who only read about her - her memory will go on in so many people's hearts and that is a wonderful tribute to a wonderful girl.
Take care of yourself and give yourself time - soon you will remember all the great things that you both did together.
Run free now Harriet, in a young fit body that no-one or nothing can ever hurt or make ill again. Have fun playing in the fields and if you see any of the Hairy Mob, tell them that I love them so much.
Time has no meaning at the Bridge, in the blink of Harriet's eye you will be reunited again.
Sending hugs and comforting vibes.

[beck]

So very sorry to hear about Harriet :cry:
She had a wonderful life with you and you were ther for har at the end.
Take care, thinking of you.x

[bunnytales]

Oh Lizzie - I was so sorry to hear this news Last night re lovely Harriet and my heart goes out to you at this sad time as I know you must be devastated to have had to part with her and you were so kind and brave to have nursed her illness through the past months with such strength - you've always been there to help her even during the toughest time yesterday.

She was such a lovely pooch and touched the hearts of everyone, like many others together with MandyM we were lucky to meet this Gal and she was such a poppit - so brave and spirited and clearly loved her pal Lotti and her Mum with such a big heart.

I think sometimes it can be difficult to explain the bonds we form with animals who touch our lives and the grief that follows when we part from them but I know little Harriet would be telling her mum to be brave now and sending some strength to help you and her pal Lotti through the coming times and saying "give us a smile mum" - I'm all healed now you know!!

Thinking of you and sending cuddles to Lotti and your furry crew.

Run Free now little Harriet - Sending a soft muzzle kiss XXX

[Caz]

I'm so sorry Lizzie that she felt it was time to go. She has been such a brave dog and held on so long and I am sure that was just so she could spend more time with her beloved mum and I am sure it was because of the lavish care and devotion you showed to her she made it this far.

Run free little Harriet - with all our love!

Caz

[Lizzie]

Thank you everyone for all your lovely messages, it means so much. My heart is still breaking and I feel as though it will never mend but Harriet is free and that is the important thing. Here is a picture which was taken on Wednesday afternoon - she really looks quite perky, I think.

[Maaike_Butter]

That's a wonderful picture. She looks content and...well, madamish! :lol: Not in a bad way, mind you, but in a "I rule here" way, and it's great!

*more hugs* to you, I have to admit I didn't sleep too well last night...:( We're all missing Harriet.

[Kara]

Dear Lizzie

Angela texted me last night with the news and I am sorry I did not post sooner, but to be honest I did not know how to say what I wanted to...

You must remember you did all you could for Harriet :love:

She had many many precious years with you and she is now looking at you wanting to help with the pain and sadness you are feeling.

Take comfort in knowing that she is playing with all the bridge animals, hopefully she has met my old mate Prince :cry:

Have a good cry, never feel ashamed for letting it all out, I have tears in my eyes typing this now. :cry:

Please give Lottie big big hugs from Aunty Kara x and all the bunskies too, remember too they will all help you through this tough time.

There will always be a very very special place in your heart for Harriet and don't ever feel alone as we ARE ALL HERE for you.

Take care Lizzie

What a wonderful picture - she does look perky as you say. She looks very regal - as though she could take tea with the Queen :)
I'll pop that picture in one of my gorgeous picture files - it is truly lovely and it shows Harriet off so very well.

[Dorothy]

Lizzie, I have only just come across this post. I've not had time to keep up with the Forum lately.

I am so very sorry to hear that you have lost your faithfull friend. But it is testiment to you and your devoted care, how long she lived and how happy she was despite her horrible illness. She truly was a well loved wee lass.
I know it must hurt terribly. Take your time and contact me when you feel ready. I will be thinking of you.

[gina paul]

I'm so sorry to hear this :(

Thinking of you

[bunnyhuggger]

Awwwwwwwwww Lizzie, I'm soooo sorry *biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig Scottish hug* Thinking of you and Lottie, you must be missing her dreadfully.

~ Run fast and free Harriet sweetheart, you touched many hearts, say hello to Kate and Russ for us, you'll know Kate, she's ginger and such a snob and Russ will be the one with the ball in his mouth at all times, don't ask him for it cos he'll not hand it over :roll: xxxxxxx ~

[nicolar]

I'm so sorry to hear of your sad news. The picture of her is lovely, I'm sure that is one that you will cherish, she looked lovely, what a pretty girl.

Take care, time is a good healer, remember all the lovely memories you have of her.

Nicola xx

[Lizzie]

What kindness you gels and boys have extended to us, it is so much appreciated, you are such a fine bunch and, truly, it means so very much to me, it is such a comfort...thank you all from the bottom of a rather tattered heart! xxxx Hugs to everyone.

[Marlene]

My dear Lizzie

How very hard for you to part with your beloved Harriet but please take comfort in the way she has been. She has still had zest and wanted to go for walkies and was still interested in her food. She was still enjoying life right up to the very end and knew she had your love and devotion. You did everything possible and Harriet knew this. Her lovely photos went into all our hearts and along with those lucky people who met her, she will stay there. I have her beautiful photo on my wall where she will always give me pleasure.

Never forgotten

[haffyj]

i am so sorry to hear your news!!! :(

remember she had 12 wonderful years with you and she will not be forgotten

[Towsbuns]

Only seen this today - I am so sorry to hear this - she was such a pretty girl and obviously a much loved member of your family - my thoughts are with you.

[MandyM]

Oh Lizzie, I am so very sorry to hear this news, and apologise profusely for the late reply, as I've not been able to get on the PC. She was a very beautiful girl and I feel very honoured to have met her, I know she will be missed very much; the pain will ease with time Lizzie. You have such wonderful memories and pictures of your special girl I’m sure she’ll never be far from your thoughts. Sending lots of love and hugs too you and the rest of the gang, and don’t forget we’re all here for you. xxxxxxx

Run free sweet Harriet xxxxxxxx

[Lizzie]

Mandy, I knew only too well that you would have been here if you could have been so to speak. I am so glad that you and Lany got to meet my special girl: funny thing is I miss her like I miss having another person around the house, she was so perceptive - Lottie is a fabulous little doggie but quite as well-endowed in the grey matter department if you know what I mean! :lol:

I have been coping better than I ever imagined but I will never stop loving my little sweetheart. If I am honest, I have probably been grieving for many months as she has been slipping away gradually. At least I know she is in no pain now and I hope she is running in green fields and has found my Dad who so adored her and she him. :)

Thank you one and all for your kind words, they really do mean so very much to me.

[bunnyhuggger]

I hope she is running in green fields and has found my Dad who so adored her and she him. :)

Lizzie, I'm certain your Dad came to meet her and show her the way. My grans and grandads in spirit have full and concise instructions on the way to 'greet' all my buns who cross the bridge, each individual bun's likes and dislikes, personality etc. I like to make sure they are prepared! :wink:

[Holly Go-Lightly]

I'm sorry Lizzie. :-(

[Lizzie]

Thank you Andrea.

And HB I just love your message there!!!!!! I've only just found it, I am soooooo glad I didn't miss it. It means so much to me to be reassured that they will meet each other. Whenever, I went down to Wales, she would always seek Dad out wherever he might be and, if he was sitting on the settee, she would plonk herself right next to him, half of her on his lap and the other half on the seat.

And I'll always remember the day we went to collect her at the beginning of May 1993, this tiny gorgeous puppy: I didn't think Dad was bothered about coming with us (although I knew he would love her once she arrived) but he got up, got ready and said "I think I'll come with you"!! Of course, I was delighted and I can remember us all going to the seafront after we collected her (the family we got her from lived in a small seaside town in South Wales) and we had an ice cream. Dad was sat in the back with Harriet in a little plastic box and I can remember putting dabs of ice cream on my finger for her to lick off!!! Aaaaaaaw, it all seems so long ago but I have such a clear picture of it. Now, none of those I was with that day is in my life any more...my Dad, Harriet ...and the ex-thingy which I really couldn't care a kipper about because it has enabled me to give Harriet the indulgent life that she deserved in the last 7 years!!!

Sorry, folks, I've wittered on a bit here but I am sure you will understand! :D

[Kara]

What a lovely Snippit of life beginning with Harriet Lizzie :D

Of course you are not wittering on dear, I am sure it makes you feel a bit better to share your wonderful memories??

Oh Lizzie what a lovely memory x

[Maaike_Butter]

Those memories are always the best...I'm so happy you have them, and I'm sure you're happy you have them, too.

*hugs*
