| Thank you everyone for the kind words, and good thoughts. This was just what I needed when I got online this morning. I am having her cremated, and when I feel ready, I'm going to look for a pendant, that I can put some of her ashes in. |

| I am just so very sorry for your loss and the trauma that you endured during the process. I pray for you to have peace and that you will learn to replace the bad memory of this one day with memories of all the good days with your girl. |

Location: Okemah,OK | sorrel horse ranch - 2014-04-07 1:49 PM I am so sorry you lost your Mattie baby. My heart goes out to you. I went through this in November and there isn't a day I don't cry and my little rat terrorist. I don't think I can ever be happy again. You cry, scream, sleep and whatever you need to do to deal with your loss of family. Prayers and hugs to you from me.
I had to have my 14 year old rat terrier, named Tara (for Holy Terror), put down in May 2008 - I still cry for her to this day and miss her like crazy - it's so hard to let them go but I wouldn't trade the years I had with her for anything in the world |

| They're really not just animals, they're family. Take comfort in knowing she's crossed the rainbow bridge and is probably having the time of her life where she's at <3 Praying for you |

| I know how you feel. We lost Walker 2years ago and there is still not a day that I don't miss him. I was told that he was just a dog, but he was not. He was my best friend and was the only thing that got me through my mother dying. It will get easier with time, just always remember the good times. Sorry for your loss. |

Location: CTX | I am so sorry for your loss. And you have to grieve, this was not just a dog, this was your buddy. Keep reminding yourself you did everything you could do for Mattie.
I have a heeler of around 13, and a rat terrorist of 14, and I dred the day I will loose them.... But they will be waiting for us on the other side!

| I already know losing a Blue Heeler will be more painful than any other loss I have experienced. I am sure Mattie's heart belonged entirely to you, and I'm sure she didn't feel any differently in the last moment. So sorry for your loss. |
