tlwtheq Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sweet Pea passed away this morning. She had been fighting with kidney failure for some months. After losing Olie on December 31, this is just a double, major hit. We took Sweet Pea out of a horrible breeding kennel at age 4 and gave her a better life. 3 Quote Max and Nelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Tara you are such an amazing care giver for all your animals. I am so sorry you lost Sweet Pea but that little dog had an amazing life with an owner that she had the best life with. She is now with Olie , Jock and all the other critters that have left their earthly bonds, free of pain and illness. Hugs. 3 Quote Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. - Anatole France Adventures with Sam &Rosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Oh that's so sad to hear. The old ones are the best and the worst. I don't know if tears can wash away the pain... perhaps they water the memories that flower in our hearts. Nothing can take away the love given and received though. Sweet Pea came to a good heart and a good life and was loved and cared for. I'm not sure any of us could ask for more. 3 Quote CAIRNTALK: Questions?

Jim Lauridsen Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Tara, we are sorry to hear about Sweet Pea. Bless you for rescuing her and giving her a safe life filled with love. Losing one we love so much is such a terrible thing, but remembering the love and the life we were able to share for those wonderful years is comforting. We think of Bailey every day, but now the tears are fewer and the smiles and laughter when we recall the time together are more frequent.

utgaard Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I am very sorry to hear of Sweet Pea's passing. She was obviously a very special dog, not every dog gets to drive, for a very special owner. You took her from a horrid situation and gave her years of love and stability. I will keep you in my thoughts. Quote Who rescued whom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlwtheq Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 My baby boy Olie isn't squealing his lungs out when people come to the door, and my baby girl, Sweet Pea, isn't flopping in the middle of the rug demanding belly rubs. And neither one will be able to run on the Assateague Island, MD beach ever again. We're taking Teddy Bear on Saturday, Guess I should update our picture, eh?

Dempsy's Mom Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Oh, so sorry to read this Tara. You have given all your dogs beautiful lives. RIP little Sweet Pea - she is with Olie now barking and getting belly rugs. You are a great mom. Enjoy your day at the beach with Teddy and I know that Sweet Pea and Olie will be with you in spirit - a heavy heart but happy memories.

Kathryn Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So so so sorry, Tara. You have just had too much. But Sweet Pea -- and Olie - were much loved, and gave so much in return. I hope those thoughts hold you steady in the days ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
