Repeated flunky of the Carnivore Diet, but I'm still trying! Chronically ill and cranky. Love love, animals, healthy living and Christ esp. ✝️

@WilkesRosebud I understand. There's no replacing, of course. But saving another life in need, a distraction and a new BFF for my Schnauzer. Who I'm very worried about. Thank you for telling me.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

How do you say goodbye to your best friend? I'm completely and utterly shattered. She loved me so unconditionally and so purely, in a way no human is worthy of.
And without any notice, she's just gone, forever.
The pain is insurmountable.

And my poor Schnauzer is lost.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Malcolm_Sillick What a beautiful memorial. And a beautiful dog. They take a piece of your soul when they go, for sure.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

Did it help?
A lot of people are saying that....which I've always read that the best help is to adopt another. I'm afraid another dog will be so different, I won't love it as much.
Although I adore my other dog and he's very different. Oh gosh, I don't even know. This is the worst.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@777cmp47 @MelissaRNMBA It was actually normal for her. Very dark & solid. Why?

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@carmccone How is your other doggy handling it?

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@carmccone It does. I can't even function. Everything, everywhere reminds me of her. And she's just gone. We're never going to see her or hear her woo woo's again. It's horrific.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@JREHodges Shadow is beautiful! I love Shepards! Thank you for the pic! And nope, despite the awful pain, we wouldn't trade her, or the almost 14 years we had her, for anything.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@PhoebeeFrenchie That's an excellent idea! A tribute. I love it! Thanks! I hadn't really thought of something like that.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@peprob68 Thank you so very much!

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@KristinfromMN I hope so!

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

I'm so sorry your dog is ill, but I'm very happy to hear he's recovering! That's fantastic! That's a great way of looking at it, that the price we pay for their love is the pain of losing them. I appreciate that word of wisdom.
I keep thinking "was it really worth it to go through all this pain"? Yes. Yes it absolutely was. I wouldn't trade having been Blessed with her for anything.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@MIhernan Thank you Solo! I'm so sorry for your loss.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Osc_Schnauzer14 Praying for Oscar.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Soniabrwg I'm so very sorry. We lost our girl yesterday. It's unbearable. I will pray for you.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Annette18314829 I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our beloved girl just yesterday. I will pray for your heart and healing.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Nikkimac187 Thank you so much!! ❤️

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@Evertoningen She would have been 14 soon and we just thought we were doing everything we possibly could to get more years. Homemade food, filtered water, exercise, a fenced in yard. It just wasn't enough time.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

What a face on Eliza! She was stunning! I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will pray for your healing.
And as much as we're grateful she didn't suffer, I think that's exactly it. We (very stupidly) thought she was constipated and were hoping it was a UTI....in the back of our minds we knew there could be a blockage, but she had been behaving SO normally. Right up until she wasn't.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@CalabroneDogs I'm so sorry for your loss and pain. The one thing I've learned is that it's just as horrific as the loss of a beloved human. So I can imagine that the grief can come back at any time.
And yes, thank you. She was as perfect as her picture.

[Stacey Chapman @Stace_Chapman]

@JREHodges That really is so true. I'm shattered. I knew it would hurt, but I presumed like losing my cat. Which also badly hurts. This is like losing my human best friend.
