Baby Mo - 3-19-14 - 3-07-26Yesterday I lost my best friend, my dearest constant companion of almost 12 years. There's a hole in my heart, in my world.
Dear Mo, no one could have ever loved you more.
love and kisses, mommy
goodbye, my darling boy. We'll meet again somewhere in time, a sunny beach, a deck overlooking the ocean, filled with joy and sunshine.
''You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know how much i love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away."
[our song]
goodbye, my darling boy. We'll meet again somewhere in time, a sunny beach, a deck overlooking the ocean, filled with joy and sunshine.

Oh Lizzy. I am SO sorry to read this. You will be utterly bereft I know. I hope that you have friends close by who will help you through the early days of grieving for him, but I know it is like losing a family member. Sending (((HUGS))) Jennie xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennie. My friend came and helped me sort Mo's belongings to donate or recycle. But the house is empty now, and I suppose always will be. Thanks!
DeleteOh no - will you not have another companion? Perhaps give a rescue dog a 2nd chance at a happy(ier) life? I imagine you would be so lonely without a dog to keep you company.
DeleteNot replacing Mo anytime soon, prob not ever. I'll have to make a new routine, start over. Friends like you who know loss and grief ---as do we all---will understand.

ReplyDeleteLizzie, I am so sorry. I always looked forward to news about Mo. Thinking of you. Susan (UK).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susan
DeleteOh Lizzy-- I feel so bad that you have lost your darling Mo;((( I sincerely hope that your fond memories of your life with him will help to warm your broken heart...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. [emailed you].
DeleteOh, no, no, no, no. That's such sad news, Lizzy. I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is sometimes worse than losing a human family member. Our dogs are so constant, happy to see us, non-judgmental, dear friends who are always there, ready to listen (even if they don't understand). I know you will miss him so. I wish I could offer more than words, but I do understand how you must be feeling. Though I never knew him in person, I will miss reading about Mo. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy. Yes pets are such an integral part of our lives. Their absence if so sad.
DeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Humans who love their dogs with such deep affection are special people. I will be keeping you in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
DeleteMy dearest friend, Lizzy, I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful companion Mo. Our companion pets are just so heartbreaking to lose, they take a piece of our hearts with them when they go. Hugs, Kara
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind thoughts, Kara.
DeleteOh my dear friend, we sorrow with you with tears of sadness. Your little Mo was the perfect companion and you must never ever doubt that he knew how much he was loved.

DeleteSo sorry - dogs bring such job and also break our hearts.

Thank you Ceci.

ReplyDeleteThank you

Oh my.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry.
Every new posting for the last two months or so I feared for this day.
You loved Mo
You cared for Mo when he was not well.
Try to find comfort knowing he is not suffering and you and those that helped you with him did the very best of your abilities.
He is forever in your heart.
Cry for him, cry for yourself.
I know you struggled with his health and still struggle with yours.
You did your very best.
He has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is no longer in pain.
sending hugs.

The Rainbows Bridge Poem
RainbowBridge.comJust this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
so sorry it got published twice both by me (Bonnie) don;t know how to fix
DeleteLizzie I’m so sorry. I know the unconditional love our pets have for us. I have loved and lost two pugs. My last was rescued from a horrible puppy mill and I could see the gratitude she had. Take care.

DeleteI am so very sorry Lizzy. Losing a 4 footed family member is the hardest loss to bear. Be happy for the years you have and listen for his spirit in your dreams and quiet times outside.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Val
DeleteThinking of you and little Mo so much as I looked through your 2020 archive for a pic of your little Jane Porter brown basket quilt.
ReplyDeleteSt Patrick's Day Mo in his jolly green top hat! You always made me smile when you described him having the 'zoomies' or making a nest in your/his fabric container while supervising quilt production. Thank you for sharing him with us. The void left behind is like ours when cats, Zsa Zsa and Coco went. Bless you for giving him the best life. Penny Xxx
♥️♥️♥️
DeleteOh! I am so sorry. Words can't express my deep sympathy for you. Like Penny says above, Thank you for sharing him with us all.

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your dear comments. Your support and kind words have been meaning so much these past few days. Please know I read and treasure each comment. Blogger is not letting me post replies right now. I ll try later. with gratitude, love, lizzy
ReplyDeleteI know I commented on Instagram, but this post hits home and makes me so sad. I've seen many losing their 4 legged friends lately and I suppose that gets me ready for Elsa. She is aging so fast. I'm sure you have a huge hole in your heart and routine. He was an amazing and funny companion. And a great topic for your blog! We all loved Mo too!
ReplyDeleteThank you , Lori. Best wishes to you and dear Elsa.
DeleteHow very sad to lose your lovely boy, my heart goes out to you. Little Mo gave us all some lovely memories and I know you will be able to look back and cherish yours when the pain is less. Big hugs and love from Elaine in UK
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaine
DeleteOh no.......I'm reading the sad news about Mo with tears streaming down my face. He was part of our lives and will be missed terribly. My heart goes out to you Lizzy. Terry in So. California
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry
DeleteSo very sorry to read this. It’s just so hard to lose a beloved pet. And Mo has been such a spunky and charming feature of your blog. I know you will miss him terribly.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes it's so empty here without him..I keep looking to where his bed was.
DeleteOh Lizzie, I know I haven't replied for a while, for reasons I was going to write in an email, but I have been reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteOh Lizzie, I was so shocked to read about Mo. I am so very sad to read this, sad for you and for beautiful Mo. So sad that as soon as I read it, tears rolled down my cheeks.
I know so well what it's like to lose a devoted and adored pet, more than a pet, a much loved part of the family. My heart breaks for you.
No words can express the love and companionship you and Mo had. Losing him will not only leave a huge hole in your heart, but a huge empty space in your home.
Mo was deeply loved and spoilt by you, he truly deserved all the love and special treats you gave him, and in return loved you.
You gave him a wonderful life, no-one could have given him a better one.
Sending hugs to you.
Love to beautiful Mo too, may your Spirit continue to walk down those little lanes to the beach, every day. X
