Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Aiyana would be 14 today....
| I have been crying on and off all morning - I can't believe how much I still miss her every day. Since tennis balls won't fly far enough, I am sending three balloons to the bridge this afternoon. One each for Aiyana, Wolfie and Gwen, as I am sure the three are happily romping together at Rainbow Bridge. Happy Birthday my sweet big girl, we love you! P.S. I was posting fine this morning, now none of my posts will show up. did I do something bad? LOL |

| Oh Julie.....I am so sorry! Birthdays and Anniversaries are incredibly tough. It has been a little over 2 and 1/2 years since my boy Jacob went to the Bridge and 7 months since my boy Rocky took his journey. I miss them terribly and think of them daily. I am sure Aiyana, Wolfie and Gwen are playing to their heart's content at the Bridge. The balloons are an awesome idea. Teresa |

| Thank you both... Aiyana was always such a great dog...the best dog I have ever had (I love them all though). She was the perfect Golden, she lived to please us. Even in her very brave battle with AIHA, that tail still thumped whenever we were near. She still smiled all the time, that big golden grin LOL. She lived for us, especially her boy...those mighty big paws can never be completely filled. My kids and I just let 3 balloons go...it is very windy here today, they got stuck in a tree, and a large gust came and sent them way up into the sky very quickly. We watched until we could no longer see the sparkly dots. We will have a special dinner tonight, our 3 pups included...and celebrate the greatest dog ever! |

| Julie -- I remember your sweet Aiyana and her fight against IMHA. I understand how you feel on her birthday. I feel the same way. The birthday, the day I brought Wiley home, the day IMHA struck, and the day she left us still give me a good cry -- and it's been five years since we said goodbye. They are like our children, so I guess it's just natural. Love the balloon idea for your great dogs -- seems such a great idea since all three of them are now free of suffering and are happy and healthy again. |

| Julie, I feel your pain. My husband and I were just talking about it last night. We just lost a very special dog in May to a very rare disease and he was gone in 5 days. I told my husband as much as I missed Caleb It still was not as painful as losing Salome to AIHA. Even though it has been over 4 years the loss is as fresh as the day it happened. We just can't put our finger on what it is that makes it hurt so much more.? I know that they are all playing at the bridge waiting for us. I understand the significance of the balloons but I worry about the effect on the wild life that may encounter the remains later. I know a few years back that someone posted an alternative idea that was wonderful. I just can't remember what it was. Maybe Joanne can help refresh my memory? Hugs to you and yours. Penny |
