Winfield Hugs and Kisses "Daisy"

We lost our Daisy girl early yesterday morning. We had planned on taking her to the vet but she died at home, the place she loved the best. We buried her next to her favorite boy Beau in a beautiful oak casket made by her Dad, lined in pink fabric covered with daisies. She had gotten so weak she could barely walk. I had been sleeping with her the last few nights, Monday night I fell asleep around 4:30 am, when I woke at 6 she was gone. I hope she knew I was there, snuggled close with my arm around her. I feel so bad that I was sleeping when I shouldn't have been, that will haunt me for a long time.

The first time we saw Daisy she fell down the stairs and landed at our feet. She was fine but from then on she was ours, it seemed to be fate. She loved us so much, she was both a mommy's girl and a daddy's girl. With 3 brothers she learned how to take care of herself, she ruled the roost. She was spoiled beyond belief, the only girl and the baby.

We never got a final diagnosis, it wasn't hepatitis as we were told. In the end it didn't matter, the prednisone caused internal bleeding. She wasn't able to eat for 4 days. I know she was hungry, she would stare at her bowl. No matter what we offered she refused it.

Rosco already misses her. Monday night he ran up to her like he wanted her to play but then kissed her real quick and went to lay down. Before we took her out of the house he slowly walked up to her, looked at her for a minute, then hung his head and slowly walked off. After we smoothed the top of her grave he laid down on it, his head where her head was. That broke me, it was touching and sad.

I said in an earlier post that I believe in miracles, Daisy was the miracle. I know you are safe and healthy with Beau, and when you left you took a huge piece of your Dad and I with you so you'll never be alone. I'll see you again someday and until I do you will aways be with me. RIP baby Daisy, we love you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Daisy knew how much your family loved her.
hugs,
Oh Holly,

I am so sorry to hear your story and your loss of your beautiful & wonderful Windfield girl Daisy. Our hearts are with you and we'll give all of ours an extra hug today with your family in our thoughts.

What a lucky girl to have found such a wonderful family and have so many fun, caring and loving years!

Huge Hugs!

Diane & Roland

Lily, Katie Lynn, Nelson, Molly, Emilie, Maddie and Daisy

We're hoping ours will join in with yours at the bridge, Megan, Noodles and Sarah
Oh Holly, I am so sorry. We were all hoping the vet was wrong. Daisy knows you were with her til the last second. Hugs to you and Roscoe, who obviously misses his sister.
Your story just brought tears to my eyes. How precious you were able to be with her until the end. I have heard that puppies can bond with their new owners just by smelling them near as they sleep so I know beyond a shadow of doubt that she knew you were there with her before she passed.

Give Rosco a squeeze,

Emily
I'm so sorry you lost your Daisy. She sounds like she was such a lucky girl to be in your family. Now she is free from pain and suffering.
Oh, I'm so sorry!

At least Daisy is with her brother and isn't in any pain or discomfort anymore. She knows you were there until the very end.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Daisy. I'm writing this with tears running down my face so I can't even begin to know how you must be feeling. You have been in my thoughts constantly over the last few days and I so wanted to send you a PM to see how things were but I daren't in case the news wasn't good. I'm sure Daisy knew you were with her until the end - maybe she was waiting until you fell asleep before she did. She will be free of all her pain now and waiting for you at the bridge.

Try to be brave and remember all the happy times you shared- we are all thinking of you at this difficult time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I too cried when I read your post. If a stranger can feel the love you have for Daisy than she most definetly knew she was loved. I agree with Daisymog...she was waiting for you to fall asleep. Please don't think for a second that you let her down. Cherish your memories and take comfort in knowing she had a wonderful life.
I am so sorry for you loss and she knows that you were right there with her loving her. :ghug:
Holly,

I am so sorry to hear of Daisy's passing. She knows she was loved right up until the end.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Brenda
Dudley and Murph
Oh, we are so sorry to hear of Daisy's passing. She was much loved and will be missed terribly.

Laurie and Oscar
Oh I am so so sorry to hear this, I gasped when I saw the "in memory of Daisy" love and hugs :cry:

I beleive they know when they are passing and how wondeful if Daisy looked up one last time and saw you by her side :hearts:
Oh im so sorry Holly, Im also writing this with tears in my eyes,
Daisy had a good mum who loved her and she knew it! Sending you lots of (((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))) :hearts:

:cry:
I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Daisy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Please don't feel bad about this, these dogs are so amazing I have no doubt that she waited to go while you were both asleep.

We'll miss you Daisy, please say hello to my Shaggy at the bridge, I know he'll love you!
Oh, Holly, I am so, so sorry for your loss of your precious Daisy. She was a special girl and knew how much she was loved. I agree that she was waiting for you to fall asleep so that she could peacefully pass. My heart aches for you.

I will keep you and your family (and poor Roscoe) in my thoughts and prayers while you grieve.
Holly,

I'm so sorry to hear of Daisy's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your famnily while you grieve.
Holly,


i'm so so sorry for your loss.

:ghug:


wendy and gismo
Holly,

I am so sorry...I always fear seeing the black banner...Your tribute also brought tears to my eyes...It sounds like Daisy was the MOST amazing girl ever.

Like someone else said, she probably knew the best time to go, and Im SURE she knew you were there.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Darcy
I'm so sorry for your loss :cry: Reading your post brought tears to my eyes too, your love for her is so evident... and I have no doubt she knew that too and knew you were there.
Oh Holly... I'm so very sorry. :cry: Please don't feel guilty for having fallen asleep. You were right there with her and she had the comfort of your touch. Sometimes animals and people wait for a loved one to drift off or step out of the room before leaving. Take comfort in knowing that you were right there with her... I'm certain she was at peace. Jim said that this is the way she would have wanted to go... quietly and in her beloved owner's embrace. Hugs to you and your family. You gave her the very best.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Soon you will be able to remember the happy times with her. I too believe that she waited until you were asleep. Maybe she felt it would be easier for both of you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Holly, I'm sorry for your loss. She suffered so much; but it's hard to let go. You and the family are in my prayers.

Hugs from Barney and Maggie.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I am so so saddened by Daisy's passing. I am sure she was reassured to have you with her and it sounds like she went peacefully. I too have tears in my eyes from reading this and thinking about all she meant to all of you.
My thoughts are with you at this very sad time. I am sure she felt your presence as she drifted over the bridge. I know she will be missed . It is always hard to say goodbye to unconditional love.
Holly,

I'm so sorry. I was shocked when I logged on and saw. Don't feel guilty about falling asleep-- she was probably waiting for you. She was probably most comfortable resting next to you so she went in the way that made her feel most secure.

Our thoughts are with you. :ghug:

Jill, James, Clyde, Lucy and Bear
Oh honey I am crying buckets with you
Daisy knew you were with her
...felt your warmth & deep love
Such a lucky sheepie girl to have you as her mama
When it's time for one of my babies to go,
I would hope I could have my arms around them
Gentle Hugs to Rosco who grieves as well
Diane & Beebles, Cassie, Brodman
Daisy knew you were there. She was exactly where she wanted to be and with someone she loved.

People say dogs don't grieve. Roscoe knew immediately and will grieve now for awhile. I firmly believe in letting the other dogs examine the deceased, if it occurred at home.

Daisy is no longer ill or in pain. Hugs to you, your family including Roscoe.

susan
Holly, I'm so sorry! I'm sitting here crying too. Of course she knew you were with her! My heart goes out to you and your family.
Oh Holly, I am so sorry. Daisy was a good friend and you were a good mom to her, right up to the end and then some. I'm sure she knew she was enveloped with love when she decided to go.

Please give Rosco a few hugs, it sounds like he's hurting as much as you are.

Jil
Holly,
I am so sorry for your loss. :cry:
Daisy definitelty knew you were there. I agree with everyone that she waited for you to fall asleep.
Big hugs to you, your hubby and Rosco
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I am so very sorry, sitting here at my desk crying for you all.
Hugs :cry:
I am so sorry to hear about your loss-I couldn't even try to imagine the pain you are going through, I didn't even know Daisy, yet I sit here crying for your loss. Daisy didn't want you to be awake when she passed, she knew you were right beside her. My thoughts are with you...
I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling now.
Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I try to find the words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Your comforting embrace and presence made it possible for her to peacefully let go and find rest. Please know that my thoughts are with you. Give poor Roscoe a hug from me, too. He's grieving her loss with us all. :cry:
Hugs to everyone, I too have tears for Roscoe, that is so sad how he misses her.

So sorry for your loss. :pupeyes:
Dear Holly,

I'm so very sorry. I believe she knew you were sleeping with her, and I bet, she didn't want to wake you.

She will be watching over from the bridge, loving you for the wonderful life you gave her.

With deepest condolences...
Deborah
I'm sorry for your loss
I had to log off twice to go to the bathroom to clean my face before getting through to the 3rd page. Kind of hard to explain to my colleague why I was crying like that.

I am so sorry Daisy is gone. I know there is no words on earth that can really ease your pain at this moment.

But it was the best way any dog would like to say goodbye to their mama. It was your smell that comforted Daisy the most and as we all know they are so sensitive to our feelings, I don't think Daisy would be able to go without worrying about you if you were all crying. It is a blessing how much she was loved having you as her mom and she left for the rainbow bridge in the best way a dog can have...in their mom's arm, smelling the familiar smell of their mom, the peaceful feeling of a sleeping mom...it was the best for Daisy.

My 17 years old Himalayan died in my arms when I had to put her to sleep. I cried so loud that I think not only the whole clincic could hear me, the whole block probably could hear me. It must be very frightening for my cat seeing me like that. I wish I didn't send her away in such a stage...

Hugs to you
I am just devastated to hear this news. All my thoughts and prayers go out to you. She was a very special girl who had the most love any sheepie could possibly have. No matter how they pass we beat ourselves up. I hope in time you will realize that she had the most peaceful passing possible lying in her loving Mom's arms. I think if she would have looked at you that would have haunted you. I hope you find comfort in all the caring friends you have here. You gave Daisy a tremendously loved and cared for life.
Love to you Holly and your family at this sad time. I am so sad to hear about Daisy, she was certainly a blessing and very special beautiful girl who shared your lives and love.

RIP darling daisy.

:( Thinking of you all at this sad time.

xxLisa
I write this through tears.

My thoughts are with you.

Jo-Ann
Like others, I had to log out, dry some tears and then log back in. No words will comfort you at this time so we're sending you lots of hugs.
Oh goodness :( I'm so sorry for your loss. She's at peace and knows you loved her so very much. Hugs and kisses.
My heart goes out to you. I know how hard it is to lose such a beloved companion. It is easy to see how much Daisy was loved--and I am sure that is what kept her going for so long. She knew how much she was loved.
I am so very sad to hear about Daisy. Tears are streaming down my face as I think of her looking down from the Rainbow Bridge. I know that she is thinking how blessed she was to have such a loving family.


((((Hugs)))))

Lori
Hugs and kisses to your family. You are in my prayers. I had tears running down my cheeks as I read your post.
I am so sorry about Daisy, I have been there last year when my Dallas went over the Bridge, I know the big hole you are feeling right now, in your heart and in your daily life.
You are in my prayers.
I just can see Dallas welcoming your girl at the Bridge.
She will have lots of sheepies to play with.
I'm so sorry about Daisy and I know she's left a huge hole in your heart. What a special girl she was and may she and Beau be now playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge.

Your post was so well written and heart felt that you've no doubt left all of us in tears. Thank you for sharing a little of her with us. I'm really sorry about your loss.

Marianne and the boys
Oh Holly, I'm so sorry. :ghug:
Holly, I am so sorry for your loss. I know your heart is breaking.
Please don't you feel bad that you fell asleep. I am sure Daisy knew you were with her. I would think you being there resting with her would have helped her feel calm in her final moments so she could go to sleep ,no pain no fear just her mommy holding her.

Antoinette
I am so sorry for your loss. Your story started weeping so hard my old girl watching me. I know from experiance that is a hard event in ones life. I hope your others loves are of comfort at this time. :cry: :cry: :hearts: :cry: :cry:
I'm so sorry for your loss :( My prayers are going out to you (((big hug)))
In Memory of Daisy

I heard a whisper from God above,
it sounded so sweet, and full of love.

I know you’d rather, not leave so soon,
but your days are numbered, under this Earthly moon.

I waited until your mom went to asleep,
to give her rest, from the tears she’ll weep.

You have but a moment, to kiss her hand,
then, I'll ask that you obey My command.

Now close your eyes Baby Daisy, and let this world go,
I’m sending a friend to meet you, his name is Beau.

Be not afraid, for there’s nothing to fear,
You’re coming to Heaven, Daisy Dear.

Holly,
I'm so sorry for your loss! We just never have enough time!
Pam
Holly,
I am so sorry for your loss. Daisy did know you were with her until the end.
My heart is with you :ghug:
Holly,

So sorry to hear the news about Daisy. Big hugs to
you and your family during this time.

Daisy was a special sheepie sharing her days with a
special family. You took great care of her and she knew she was
loved very much.

Our prayers are with you....

Joan

Loving thoughts coming your way to help you through this time of transition. Sounds to me like no dog could even hope to find more love than you gave your sweet girl. She is being welcomed at the bridge by Jessie Mae, "Donkey Dan", Caleb and Hannah. I sent them a little message to look for her...hang in there and no regrets.
Holly, we are so sorry to hear of Daisy's passing. It seems such a short time ago that you lost Beau. My heart just breaks thinking about the grief you must be feeling.

Daisy was able to go peacefully at home. That's always a blessing so don't feel badly that you weren't aware of the exact moment she left this world. She knew you loved her unconditionally, that's all that mattered.

Nelson also sends his sympathy. Whenever a Windfield dog goes to the bridge it's a part of his legacy passing as well. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

:ghug:

Nita & Nelson, Jr.
Holly, I am so sorry to hear about Daisy's passing. I can't imagine how your heart must be breaking ....

I think it was a lovely way for her to leave this world...Stress-free and asleep with her favourite person....She and you were both lucky that it happened that way..

Hugs.....
Hugs kisses to you. She will live in your heart forever.
:cry: Im so sorry to hear about Daisy's passing, stay strong and always think of the happy times you all shared, always in our hearts...never forgotten... xxxx
Daisy knew you were there until the end and everyone is here for you now.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending you a big hug!
The loss of one of our babies is never easy. The fact they are with us such a short time is the only downside to loving them.
Thank you for sharing your Daisy stories with us. I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad you were with her.
Godspeed sweet Daisy
After I first posted about Daisy I told her how many people wished her well and were praying for her, some who didn't know her but knew she was a special sheepie girl. After she died I sat with her for a long time, combing her face and cleaning the blood from her bottom. I told her she needn't be afraid, Beau and Flash would be there, and so would many others. I also told her many people from all over the world would be sad she was gone.

Well, I don't even know what to say. The wonderful responses were overwhelming. For this I thank all of you, old friends and new. Unless you've had to post here you don't realize how comforting it is that someone takes the time to post. From Benny, Luke, Rosco and me thanks from the bottom of our hearts.


In an ironic twist : the blanket I pulled from the closet to sleep on was an old Dukes of Hazard sleeping bag. I didn't even realize it until I went to put it away.
I'm very very sorry for your loss of Daisy! :cry:

I have seen her pictures and she was absolutely beautiful! It is soo good to share your pain with everyone else on this board, same as I did when Ellie died. It helps soo much and I send you all my thoughts!!! :hearts:
I am so sorry to hear about Daisy. We will keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers.

Eric
I am so sorry for your loss. My Shaggy pledges two months worth of cold nose kisses to you and yours.

Chris and Shaggy :cry: :cry:
