Marty T, Thanks, that thread was useful. But does anyone know why you shouldn't separate ashes per the catholic church? I want to have a life gem made with approximately one half of Dulcinea's ashes. Thanks again, Dulci's mom ps here is Dulci last halloween! Wait, i don't think the pic came thru.. iam doing it again darn it, i can't get a pic to attach. it is so cute.

Lori, I am catholic also. I did not know that you are required to keep the ashes together. This applies to dogs? What is the reasoning? because i was going to definitely have a diamond made. but maybe i shouldn't????? Can you let me know what you know. Thanks, Dulci's mommy

I was wondering if anyone has heard of lifegem. This is a man made diamond made from the cremains of your animal. I thought this sounded interesting because i could wear it close to my heart. Has anyone done this? or is it wierd?

Thank you all for kind words. If not for my other two doggies, i don't know wht would happen. everyone here is so eloquent with their words, and i can barely see thru my tears to type, can barely move my fingers...I definitely need God's help right now to see me through this. My dog Koko who was the closest to Dulcinea is moping and not eating properly, I hope she pulls through. I am trying to be strong for her. I feel like i am beginning to forget what dulci felt like. I am so desperate I spoke to an animal communicator yesterday and feel a little worse with some of the things said. I want to picture my Dulci in heaven with Jesus and playing and being happy. I am so confused. By the way, we all just moved cross country one month ago and i have not really met anyone and I have no support system here. Especially none of my dog "crazy" friends back home. Well, htanks again, Dulci's mom

Maylissa, I have been in so mcuh pain to post much here.because of the loss of my dulcinea. i feel the same way as you.. that i ______ my dog. I can't even write or say the word K___. I hope youknow what i mean. I have been asking and praying for a sign too. I talk out loud to her and kiss her picture constantly. I pet her fur I had vet cut and kiss it. If i didn't have my other two dogs i would go to be with her in heaven. I can't wait to see her again. but from what i have read of your posts you did everything humanly possible for your baby. There is nothing more you could have done. I am punishing myself also. My husband keeps saying you cna't do this, you have to think of her not suffering any more. and i know that makes sense, but i feel i have to punish myself. I have lost so much weight by not eating. I don't want to enjoy anything with out my dulcinea. i think we truly have to deal with this by ourselves. but one thing i do know is that there are so many animals out there that NEED us. my babies are all rescues. My precious dulcinea was a special needs dog that i rescued when she was older. and she had the best life with us. I have been spending some time at my vets with animals in need because i am so needy right now and i think we can help each other. I know i am not talking about adopting another ANY time soon, but just knowing that we could give some animal out there who is MORE desperate than we are is what keeps me going. Think of how you feel right now and imagine an animal out there who feels just as needy because they are abandoned, noone loves them and they are alone and afraid. Just think what someday you could offer one of these animals when you are ready. You have to think of them. Just know, we need to go on even though this is the most physically painful, gut wrenching time ever. Dulci's mom
