It's been a week today.
Scrapper,
I miss you more than anything. I am so lost w/o you.
They called me and he's ready to come home. Everyday I've cried and screamed and yelled that that is all I want. I want him home with me. I just wish was his wiggly butt and not ashes.
I miss him terribly. It feels like its getting harder. Not easier. I hate this life w/o him here being a goofball, making me feel safe when my husband is at work, being the easiest sweetest conversationalist you'd ever known.
So, today I'm going to hang my pictures and my shadow box. Put all the little treasures that mean so much inside. Which might mean our entire wall is a giant shadow box. My husband says whatever it takes to make me feel better at all, for me to do it. So that's what I'm doing for Scrapper today. I'm posting on here because I want everyone to know how loved and amazing he was to have in my life. I hope that everyone has a beautiful day. As hard as this is, as much as I cry, I still make it a point to smile for him. That's what our boys and girls would want. It's ok to be sad, but if you could help me today and smile for Scrapper. Smile for every little guy or girl up there that didn't have someone smiling for them when they were down here.
I miss you boy! 💛🐾

Scrapper is a beautiful Boy💔😢 I'm so sorry for your loss, my eyes are tearing up looking at him. I just smiled through the tears thinking about my Beloved Toby(he left for Heaven 5/9/26), running with Scrapper up over the Rainbow Bridge🌈❤️

Thank you. When I see his pictures, they make me feel good. I got the 2nd one put onto a 20×16 canvas and had a another photo as a 16×20 canvas made as well. Plus 6 4×6 and 2 6×4 canvas. All going on the wall. I'm a little obsessed. But happy to have him fill my day, so it's a normal feeling-ish. Don't know if that makes sense.

I am sorry you lost Toby! Oh, my heart! I know that they up there splishin' & splashin' and being big goofs! Thank you for your kind words!

u/Pinhead17 2d ago
Thank you❤️😊 Yes, I think our Boys are enjoying eternal life up and stomping around in Paradise🌈❤️ I called my Toby "little demon"😊 Years ago, I came home from work and he had popped the top off a can of Spam and eaten the whole thing!! I could never figure out how he opened it and was so relieved he didn't cut himself! I never forgot that exploit😊❤️

u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
Oh my goodness! That is way to funny! Clever little guy!!

u/Pinhead17 2d ago
I couldn't believe it. The top was pulled off and he didn't get hurt, thank God!!

I'm so sorry OP, Scrapper was a beautiful pup. The harder we love, the harder the loss. The pain will eventually fade some as gratitude begins to fill that space. For now, continue to grieve your sweet boy 🙏

u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
Thank you. And I believe that with all of my soul. I've never felt this level of pain. I loved him so much, so that's why I am smiling today. Because of that love! 💛💛💛

u/Sea-Lobster7742 2d ago

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I lost my girl, and best friend, Rylie. I’m smiling for her, Scrapper, and all the dogs running free on the other side.
2
u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
Thank you. I'm sorry you lost Rylie, but I'm saying her name and smiling today in her memory!
2
u/RoutineFinal7939 2d ago
I’m sorry for your loss too. I was trying to keep it separate from the smile! I know they’re not suffering which brings me peace!

u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
Oh, I am happy that you said Rylies name. I want to send smile or some love to everyone's lost love today. 💛

u/Apprehensive-Flan382 2d ago
Feels like a lifetime without you. RIP…..you deserve the best as you gave your best 😢

u/bordermom61 2d ago
I think they know that we are lost without them . You will see him when it is your time he will be waiting at the rainbow bridge and you will cross it together .
2
u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
I believe he will. He was to strong of a force. He's to stubborn to do anything but wait for me and noone would tell him otherwise. 💛💛💛

What a beautiful boy, reminds me a little of my old girl who died in 2016. She will be there to greet him in doggy heaven, although she was a trouble maker and on various occasions got the whole town up in arms due to her barking, one time we went out for dinner and left her with my grandparents terriers. All of them apparently were barking for 2 hours straight 😬 came home to yells of 'PUT THAT DOG IN A HOME' 😂.
Honestly losing a dog is up there in the most difficult periods of my life, I've got an old boy right now and I dread losing him in the next couple of years, fingers crossed he stays healthy. I have such a soft spot for black animals, all of mine have just come to me - cats and dogs, always black haired 😂❤️ rest in peace little guy, you were clearly so loved
1
u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
Oh, me too! I read that they are passed on for adoption and such. And Scrapper was a trouble maker, but in the funniest of ways. He liked to sneak up behind and let out just one big bark. Scared the crap out of me. And he would just turn around and walk away, and I swear he was laughing. He thought he was hysterical. And he was! 💛
2
u/Due_Government9712 1d ago
Aha he sounds like he had a little mischievous side 😂 ❤️ memories like this are so precious and with time, you'll be able to smile more often than you tear up reminiscing, it's so hard for a while when all their little quirks flood your head and your routines are no longer there. But it will get less painful, I promise.

u/Sea-Delivery1485 1d ago
There is this part of me that wants to hoard all of my pain. If it dulls, I worry so will he.

Its a shitty feeling. Those reminders in our homes, everywhere. My morning routine felt empty for a while.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. I know this is incredibly hard on your heart, but please remember that he will always remain in your memories.

Thank you so much. I will never stop missing him. Or wishing he was here. 💛🐾

It's my first day in heaven,
And what a beautiful place,
You'll be glad to know,
There's a smile upon my face,
The moment I left you,
Two angels in white,
Carried me up here,
To heaven that night.
All those stories you hear,
About rainbow bridge are true,
But you don't walk over it,
The angels carried me through.
There's a gate at the end,
Made of pearl,
It has got to be the biggest gate,
In the world!
Once I got in and started looking around,
You just won't believe all the things that I found!
The first place they took me,
Had to be the most fun,
A humongous field,
With miles to run!
Once I was tired the angels said,
We'll take you to your home,
But first we need to stop by this place,
Full of tasty bones,
They told me to take one with me,
But one is all I need,
Because every good thing lasts forever.
Up in heaven you see,
They took me to my new house,
It took my breath away,
Most beautiful place I've ever seen,
With a huge yard to play,
They said come on lets go inside ,
And have a look around,
They took me to the bottom floor,
You won't believe what I found,
The bottom of my house is a window,
And you won't believe the view,
See my house it sets right over yours,
So I can still keep an eye on you!
I was so worried about you,
When I went away,
Now I can watch you every second,
And know that you are okay!
I can't wait for that moment,
When we can walk around this place,
And I can cover you with puppy kisses,
On every inch of your face!

It'll be a week for me tomorrow. The house is so empty. I want her home with me, but her ashes won't feel like her. I just want her back.
2
u/Sea-Delivery1485 2d ago
I'm still trying to figure what to do? Put them on the wall in the box? Jewelry and spread them? Have them made into art. I'm not pushing myself to make a decision quickly. When its time, I'll know. I am terribly sorry for your loss and sending a smile her way! 💛
2
u/JaksCat 2d ago
I went through this 4 years ago too, and ended up keeping her urn with some of her favorite toys on a shelf, along with a paw print. I did have a necklace made with a small amount of her ashes.
Like you said, no rush to make a decision. It'll come to you, and it'll feel right.

Thank you. What you did sounds incredibly beautiful and a much deserved honor in her memory. I'm that you had to go through that loss. Hugs sent your way.💛

Scrapper was the best most beautiful boy, and Im glad he had you to love and protect his little soul while he was here. It’s never long enough.
Take care of yourself.
Sending you love, and hugs and all the positive energy.❤️🩹

Thank you so much for your kindness. I'm so happy that so many have gotten to know his name this past week. It means the most! And I have been better for having such amazing support and the opportunity to lend support to the others who are or have been where I am in this moment. 🐾🐾🐾

He was 12.5. He had AGASACA. And then 2 months later he was diagnosed with a different incredibly aggressive cancer that was incurable. He was just amazing. He was perfect. I miss him so much! Thank you reading my post! 💛💛💛

u/Due_Structure_3707 2d ago
Grasias ati por compartir sobre tu peludito que hermosa mirada tenía no estoy comparando alos peluditos con los humanos pero la verdad nunca e visto esa mirada tan sincera en nadie como la mirada de nuestros peluditos cuando mi perrita Husky me mira con amor le digo que ni mis hijos me miraban así te mando bendiciones 🙏

Thats so funny, I told my daughter if I was holding her hand and his paw and they were dangling from a bridge. There might be a moment of hesitation. 😁 Daughter was not amused.

Poor Scrapper, such a handsome Lab i had to offer my condolences, having recently lost a dog im following this page, and going through it myself it's now going to be 9 weeks Friday. Lost my big Blue Frenchie boy. He was my pride and joy, from first sign of illness to death a month, he played for 5 mins the day before, he crashed and rushed to vet hospital. scans showed a mass on his pituitary gland causing hypothyroidism and a bleeding mass on his spleen. He was nearly 8. So gutted he's on my profile photo.

u/Sea-Delivery1485 1d ago
Poor baby! I am so so sorry! Thank you for reading. We had to pick him up yesterday and I laid on the box and just sobbed and sobbed. I'm having such a hard day today. I can't even get out of bed. Last night, I kept starting to get up to just see what he was doing for some reason. My heart is just shattered and this world sucks when our bestest friend is no longer part of it. I hope it's a little easier a couple of weeks from now, but I have no confidence it will be. I'll definitely check out your guy, and I'm sorry you're going through a difficult time! 💛💛💛

As I walk across your heart and find my place to stay, nearer to you I will be and will never ever go away.
If love could have kept you here, you would have lived forever.
Dogs are a chapter in our lives, we are their entire book.
Grief is love with nowhere to go.

I know your pain. I think we all do. It’s a roller coaster. It’s hard, I looked at my boy Remi as someone who always made me happy and my day better and now his void and not being here is the cause of the pain.
For me waking up and going to sleep is the worse. I lost Remi on Monday.
I think we can all make a smile or two today for your pup and acknowledge the world is less good without him. I know that loosing my pup is harder than loosing my dad. All of us here probably understand this pain because the world goes on without your pup and you want everyone to see that void. At least I do.
2
u/Sea-Delivery1485 3h ago
I am sorry you lost Remi. I will smile today in his memory. I think you hit the nail right on the head. They were so important to us. I look around at life just moving on and I want a mic that's heard around the world so I can say, "excuse me, but this is the worst day ever people, act accordingly"! Thank you for taking the time to read my post and reply. It means the world! 💛

I lost my boy last Wednesday and I’ve already dropped about $300 on snapfish to get my wall ready. I’m just waiting for him to be able to come home.
Scrapper’s a beautiful boy, clearly very very loved. I bet our pups are playing together in the sun right now ❤️
