Goodbye Sweet Sally.
You raised me up and gave me a reason to keep going.
Every day you made me smile and laugh.
I knew you were getting old, I knew time was short.
But it was never enough.
You fought so hard to make sure I smiled and I’ll never forget the way you changed my life.
Sleep well my sweet Sally, your forever in my heart.
I’ve never said that Sally is the best-trained dog. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she isn’t wild (all of the time). However, when she came into my life completely shut off from the world, I had never had a dog in my life before and the person who had promised she was his, did…
I have to admit I wasn’t going to write this post, I was just going to carry on as normal. However, I’ve had some lovely support via my personal Facebook page that I thought I would write a post about what is going on. For anyone who doesn’t know the back story with Sally and…
I have never been one to hide the truth and the truth with me and Sally dog, is we didn’t click at first. Or at least she decided I was her human and I decided I wanted nothing to do with “the dog”. For a while, I cried and went into a deep depression –…
Hello poochie pals! It feels like forever since the hooman allowed me to take over the blog! I mean what is she thinking, we all know you are here for me after all! I thought I would tell you all about a day in the life of the one and only Sally! After all, I’m…
Sally is getting on a bit now and while most of the time she looks as sprightly as ever, there are times when you can tell her bones are hurting her just a little bit more. Especially when she is getting up after a long nap, as such making sure she has a comfortable, supportive…
It has most definitely taken a turn for the colder and when it comes to winter if you have a dog or have other commitments that mean you need to venture outside. There is no way to get away from the chilling winds or rainy day. However, never fear as the great Millets have you…
Lovely Sally 🙂 I remember when we use to chat about Sally & Hudson, the things they got up to & what new things they had done that week. It is so cruel that we can’t have them forever especially when we are so lucky to have found our forever dog. I am heartbroken about Hudson every single day & have been for the last 6 weeks, so I understand your pain especially as we both relied on ours dogs for emotional support too.
It’s just horrid isn’t it – it’s so hard to get out those feelings and explain it to people. I just want her back so very much as I am sure you do with Hudson as well. There will never be another Sally or Hudson <3
So sorry for your loss lovely <3 what a beautiful well looked after and loved dog. I cherish everyday with my pooch. Thinking of you
Thank you so much – the place just isn’t right without her :(.
Sally looked like she was a fun loving dog, so sad that you have lost her, I know what it feels like to loose a wonderful pet
So sorry to hear about Sally – out dogs are so wonderful and so special. She looked the most amazing dog x
She really was absolutely incredible and I miss her so very much.
I am so sorry to hear Sally has passed away, she was absolutely beautiful, sending you big hugs xxx
Thank you so much <3
Truly sorry for your loss. xoxo
Thank you <3
I was so sorry to hear about Sally – she was such a beautiful, gentle soul and you two were so lucky to be together.
We had to say goodbye to Pepper in February, and I remember the reply you gave to me on a previous post when she was ill, you were so kind but I couldn’t bear to tell you she had passed, it hurt so much to tell anyone because then it was real. I hope you’re doing okay, be kind to yourself, love and {{hugs}} Sheila xxx
Thank you so much – I really was so lucky to spend the years with her I did. Oh I am so sorry to hear about Pepper. I understand what you mean, I didn’t know if I should say anything or not? I didn’t want to. But people have been so kind and followed her so closely I cried so hard as I wrote each post and cry as I answer comments. But it is amazing to see how many people loved seeing her pictures.
I hope you are doing a bit better yourself now? I hear time is a healer, but I’m yet to believe it. Love and hugs to you as well <3 x
I’m doing better thank you, but it still catches you unawares – used our dslr camera the other day and checked what I just taken and saw photos of her on there – can only imgaine what that is like for you on the blog, everywhere there are reminders <3
It's such early days for you, and I think the pain doesn't really get easier, it just changes – and maybe there is a bigger gap between those moments xx
It is such a strange thing isn’t it – sometimes I can do something and be fine and then the next time, I just lose it. So I think your right, sometimes those moments just don’t happen so often.
I’m not sure I’ve still completely taken it in, in some ways it feels like she is just off away somewhere, which is odd as I hardly ever went anywhere without her and if I did she was at my parents, bar a couple of times.
There have definitely been some comments on the blog that have got me, where people are entering competitions and haven’t read or realised and that sets me off. I have a competition I need to put up where the item they sent me has Sal all over, I sorted it a couple of days before she went, oh the timing! xx
I’m so sorry. It’s hard, but one day soon you WILL look back with smiles, not tears.
Thank you so much <3
I am so sorry to hear about Sally. Your memories will stay with you forever, she was obviously a really loved happy dog.
Thank you so much – she was such a special little girl <3
I’m deeply sorry to hear you have lost your beautiful sally
My thoughts are with you.
x
Thank you so much that means a lot.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing a pet.
Thank you so much.
I so sorry to hear about Sally. I know she was your special friend, this must be awful for you. I hope your happy memories will help you through this sad time.
Thank you – I’ve been trying to remember the fun times, but it is hard at times.
So sorry to hear this. There’s something so special about the friendship with a dog.
Thank you and there really is – the place is just too quiet without her.
so sorry for your loss
Thank you.
So sorry for your loss. We know exactly how you feel. We lost our beloved “Katie” to bladder cancer on February 23 of this year. She meant so much to us. It’s been two months and there are days when the pain of missing her is tough. But, she is in a much better place now.
Even though our Katie and your Sally are no longer beside us, the memories of the great times had together will always be there.
Hugs
I am so sorry for your loss of Katie :(, it is so hard isn’t it. I was barely without Sal in all the years I had her and so I look for her everywhere.
You are right about the memories I hold onto those tight.
Hugs to you as well.
Terribly sorry – you are both just fortunate to have ever found each other. She will live on in your memories and she will lively happily ever after in doggy heaven
Thank you so much.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is for you right now, as I’ve lost a dog many years ago and it was devastating. My thoughts are with you.
I also know how hard it must have been before now, seeing her getting older. My own dog is 9 and a half and this is something I think of, about the time being short. I have tears in my eyes as I’m writing this because I understand so well how it is for you now and what you have to deal with.
Lots of hugs xxxx
Thank you so much.
It’s one of those things isn’t it that people either get or they don’t, which in some ways makes it harder as how do you explain to someone who doesn’t understand?
I hope you and your dog have a few more happy years ahead of you.
Hugs <3 xx
Oh no! I am so sorry! She was such a beautiful dog.
Sending love and hugs xxx
Thank you so much – she had something really special about her. x
I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is such an unbearable feeling, but just know she loved you and you made her time on earth so special. Time will heal and you’ll eventually meet again some day.
Thank you so much and your right, it isn’t goodbye just farewell for now.
Sending you all my love, you gave her a wonderful life xxx
Thank you so much – I’m hanging on to a string at the moment she was a little star.
