PSmitty Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ah, no. Cancer sucks so bad. I was hoping you'd have more time with him, but it's never enough time anyway. What an awesome little dog he was! I'm very sorry for your loss. Run free, Kipp. You were always one of my board favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody & Duchess Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Kipp is a beautiful boy and I am so sorry for your loss. I hate the stupid cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentleLake Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Maralynn, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I've been following Kipp's story and I wasn't ready for this, so I know you can't have been either. We're never ready, no matter how long we have to prepare. Your tribute to Kipp is beautiful. I know the hole he leaves in your heart is huge. roxanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jo&Tex Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 It sounds like Kipp had lots of fun and adventures during his life with you. So very sorry, Maralynn. Kipp knew how much you loved him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 We can learn so much from our dogs. The expressions he's making in those pictures, melts my heart to see a dog look so wonderfully happy. I believe he was both blessed and a blessing to you. Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildFlower Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Mara, I am so sorry. You did right by your boy. Run free Kip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisK Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 " Oh no..I was so hoping to hear that Kipp had rallied yet again. Kipp had a wonderful life with you and when the time came, you gave him the most difficult gift of all..you let him go. Run free at the Bridge Kipp - hugs for you Mara .. "There is a cycle of love and death that shapes the lives of those who chose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings or walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given."

alligande Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 To lose them young is so hard, but no matter how old we never have them long enough. So sorry that you lost Kipp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maralynn Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks everyone. He was quite the dog and I miss him like crazy.It stormed last night and I started bawling because Kipp hated storms and my automatic response was to reach for meds or put him in the basement. A couple people have tried to be helpful and mentioned "well at least it's not as bad as when you lost Missy". No, it is as bad. Different, but is sucks and hurts just as much. I know everyone here gets that and that means a lot right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chene Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Not callous, no. Just grasping for the positive, I think. Death is hard. People get flustered and rarely know what to say to it. I too am sorry that people don't understand, but don't resent them for it. We're here for support regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdogz Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I also have been checking back and hoping for better news. They never live long enough, and we are so privileged to have had them for such a short time. My sincere condolences....and he will live on in your heart.

nancy Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Lost a dog, a sister-in-law, a cousin, and two cats, another cousin to cancer - recently. No fairsies! The pain will - eventually - resolve to an ache. And then you can enjoy the memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Beer Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sorry to be so late on this, but I am very, very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time we have, it's never enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
