We lost our Kori yesterday. Even though we knew it was coming, my daughter and I still weren’t prepared. The sight of her empty bowl, when I was preparing the collie’s dinner last night, just wrecked me. Kori and Ryder always ate their dinner side by side, and now he stands alone, none of the other collies are willing to eat in “ her spot.” I’m feeling her loss so deeply, and already miss my Sunshine girl so much. The collies are all sticking close by me, to try and help, but I know they miss her too. She was the 6th dog I’ve lost during my adult life, and it never gets any easier.
Love you my beautiful Kori Beanie, 8/30/11 - 5/15/24
Lulu: "We're very sorry to hear that Kori had to go away."
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Run free over the Rainbow Bridge, beautiful girl."
Chaplin: "And don't forget to stop by Tucker's Everlasting Rainbow Bridge Buffet to see Dennis and the gang and get a special treat."
Charlee: "We cats send lots of purrs your way."
Lulu: "And we dogs send lots of tail wags!"
Thank you
DeleteDear Kat and family ~ we say a fond farewell to your beautiful and much loved Kori, who will forever hold a special place in your heart of hearts. Run free and fast now ... Kori.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI am so very sorry. Having just lost Molly, I know your pain. Kori was a gorgeous girl and I know her pack is missing her right along with you. Huge hugs♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, I know you are still dealing with your own grief. This is the price we pay for all the love they give us.
DeleteI am truly so very sorry to hear about your dear Kori. She was such a beautiful girl and I know how much this kind of loss hurts the heart. Love and hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteJust this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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....

Thank you so much
DeleteFrom your earlier post we had a feeling her time was close. YOu are so right, we are never ready. We know our Lightning was ready but we were not. Kori was a beauty and she was so loved. Soft woos and gentle hugs to you.

Thank you, we just can’t prepare, and I just wish we they lived longer lives.

DeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss. It absolutely never gets any easier.
ReplyDeleteShe was the 6th dog I’ve had to say goodbye to, and each loss has just wrecked me. I just wish dogs lived longer, 12 or 13 years is just not long enough.

ReplyDeleteYou are undertaking the long journey through grief. While others may share that grief we all walk it alone. There are no right or wrong paths, no proper way to carry oneself, no set amount of time to complete it. Some steps will come easier than others. There will be rogue waves of grief that you won’t see coming, and knock you back days. But you will come through it. If you get lost let us know. We have been through it before and we might be able to help you find the way ou
Thank you so much! I’m a little better, but then something will hit me (like the sight of her empty bowl) and the grief is as fresh as the moment she left me.
DeleteFrom our heart to yours, we are so sorry to learn of Kori. It never gets any easier and they are always gone too soon. Kori was such a beauty and will always be with you in your heart. I'm so sorry for your loss.

DeleteWe read about Kori on the Cat Blogosphere and, even though we have not met you before, we wanted to send words of comfort. We know all too well the pain of losing our friends and the hollow feeling that comes with it. You clearly gave your beautiful girl a beautiful life.

ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI can’t seem to find a blog for you, do you have one?
DeleteI am sorry that your precious and sweet Kori has become a new Angel at the Rainbow Bridge. May the many wonderful memories you made over the years comfort and sustain you know and during the difficult days of grieving....and they will be with you forever deep in your heart.
ReplyDeleteI made you a memento to honor her memory, but don't know where to send it. I will post it in my blog; you will be able to 'snag' it from there. It will be up either Saturday or Sunday...
Thank you again, it was very sweet and appreciated
DeleteOh, what a terrible loss and what a beauty Kori was, but remember, she is with you every day out of pain and your time with her was more than perfect. Hugs from us.

ReplyDeleteKori was a beautiful girl, we are so very sorry for your loss. The pictures you shared of her show what an amazing life she had with you and how very much she is loved.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for your loss. It' never gets easier when one of our fur-babies crosses the Rainbow Bridge. I hope Angels Norman and Sam greeted your sweet baby and they're all bouncing and racing zoomies in heaven. Sending gentle thoughts of comfort to you and the other collies. 💔
