My darling Brandy

[Cathy T]

I'm so sorry to hear about Brandy. Like the others have said...I am glad she got to experience a bit of the good life with you. What you did for her made her life that much better.

Oh, that is so sad. At least she new a bit of love and a caring touch in her last days with you. Those of you who rescue are truly angels!

I'm so sorry to hear about Brandy.. but at least you gave her a happy ending of her life.. time is short, always too short, but at least having to let go is never easy but better when she was happy then when she was miserable..

I wish you a lot of strenght in the time to come and keep that image of her playing and running around in your memories forever!

Sorry to read about your loss Sara, Now and again someone special comes into our lives, even just briefly, and touches our hearts. Brandy was your someone. You gave her your love and kindess and she found the strength to enjoy her last run. Play happy at the Bridge Brandy.

There is a place that some of us know
Where our dear departed pets all go
Where the sun always shines and butterflies wing
their way across fields where bluebirds sing
Where toy mice are scuttling and Frisbees do soar
There's tug toys and tennis balls and chew bones galore
With fields full of bluebells and a cool rippling stream
Where angels bring titbits and bowls full of cream
So try not to worry and try not to grieve
The love in their hearts will never leave
They'll happily play there and patiently wait
'Til you go to fetch them at heavens gate

Sorry for your loss....

I'm so sorry to hear this - bless her, it's so tragic that she was with you for only a short time. I hope though that it is a consolation to you that she did know love and care for that time.

Thinking of you

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful support! It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow since I helped Brandy across the bridge, and I'm just barely starting to accept the fact that she's gone myself. It's never easy, but for some reason Brandy's death hit me harder the most, but the chance of actually seeing her romp and be a normal dog right before she passed away does bring me alot of comfort! I knew she loved me almost as much as I loved her, she never complained, she'd just lay there for hours and let me slowly work on her matted coat - To someone who didn't know her, Brandy may have looked like a unkempt dog that nobody wanted - To me, she was the most beautiful collie in the world! Some day when my heart has had more of a chance to heal, and I can think of Brandy without tears, I plan to rescue another old collie that just needs a special place for it's last days - More then anything, Brandy re-awakened my deep love for the breed!!!! Maybe that's what she was sent to me for!!

Cavymom, I'm so sorry to learn of Brandy's passing I remember your first post about her and how you felt such a strong connection with her.
I'm sure she loved you every bit as much as you loved her and perhaps her romping around was her way of showing you just how happy you made her...

I am deeply sorry for your loss. It sounds like you gave Brandy happiness in her final days. She was lucky to have found you.
