Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - To Everyone on this forum
| Hello! Everyone! I know it's been awhile since I've posted after the loss of my precious babygirl Katie JoJo (7/21/03 to 7/24/09) I just wanted to thank you all for the support and caring words after her passing.I think about her everyday but I know she is now pain free and running again at the bridge. My dear friends in Ohio surprised me 2 days after Katie JoJo made her journey with her baby brother Harley Lowrider some people may think it was way too soon to share my love again but Harley Lowrider has helped me heal. Everytime I started to get depressed and tears running down my face he was there to lick them away. It's been almost 10 months since she made her journey to the bridge (May 24th) and I have never stopped loving or missing her. I had her cremated and she sits on a shelf here in our room, everynight Harley and I give her a kiss, say we love & miss you and goodnight then every morning we repeat all but instead of goodnight it's good morning. This may seem weird to some but I had Katie JoJo's harness and leash hanging on her wall hook and then one day Harley jumped up on the bed and grabbed them and pulled them on the bed and laid on them, he didn't chew them or anything it was like he knew they were his big sister's. anyways I went out and bought him his own harness and leash but he wanted nothing to do with them he would sit in front of Katie JoJo's and whine like he was telling me "Mommie, I want to wear my big sister's Harness and leash" so I got them down and Harley sat there and I had no problem getting the harness on him it was like he slid right into it... Thank You all again for everything.. You can find me on facebook - Maria Teresa Alvarado or malvarado9@ivytech.edu God Bless |

| Maria, That is an awesome story about Harley Lowrider. Sometimes I think that different/new dogs are really the only ones who can ease the pain even a little bit. I lost my dog in January and to be honest, it has gotten easier but the pain is still very deep....so I am glad to hear that your new pup has helped. Dogs are very instinctive as well so Harley may feel drawn to the other leash/harness. Thanks for sharing... |

| Great story, and I love Harley Lowrider's name! :) I know what you mean about a new dog helping to ease the pain. Riley went to the bridge four weeks ago today, and I can't wait to have my arms around another dog again. |

| Maria, I am so happy that you have a new dog in your life that brings you smiles and eases your pain. Your story does justice to Katie Jo Jo, she left you a legacy and taught you that no matter what sharing a home and our love with furbabies is what it is about. |

| Maria I think this is Katie JoJo's way of letting you know that she is okay and happy you have Harley to love. Katie JoJo knows how very much you loved her and continue to do so and forever will be in your heart. Harley is one lucky boy to have such a wonderful and caring person to take care of him.

| Thank You All Again... I forgot to tell you as well the man I was with when I rescued Katie JoJo back in August 2003 known as her daddie. Anyways on Easter Sunday her daddie went to be with her. He was a great man, loving, caring and would do anything in his power to help another person...I now know that Katie JoJo is with her daddie and is free of pain...Her daddie always came up from Missouri 2-3 times a year to see her....Rest In Peace my precious babygirl and her daddie I love & Miss U both bunches....

| Dear Maria, Sorry to hear about Katie JoJo's daddie.... I am very sorry for your loss. I am glad that Harley Lowrider (love the name so much) is helping you heal. I would never say you can get a pet too soon after one passes, each person is different. I lost my darling ginger cat Will in March this year. That weekend, my husband and I were at the local shelter adopting another cat. Not a replacement for Will because he will never be replaced, but another darling baby we could rescue to share our home and love. Our new girl Emmy, and the rest of our brood helped us cope with the pain of losing Will. Wishing continued health and happiness to you and Harley Lowrider, Sam & Millie. |
