Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA & IMHA) - Two Weeks tomorrow
| To all with the IMHA/AIHA family, Tomorrow will mark two weeks since my Barkley laid in my arms and knew my kisses on his sweet face.... Thank you for all your kind words of support, encouragement, and shared grief. I hope all of those still blessed with the opportunity to still fight the fight will cherish each moment, each soulful look, each soft furry head...in the end all we really have is time and love. Gratefully, Cheryl (and always Barkley) |

| Cheryl, thank you for loving Barkley! He knows how much he is loved. I well remember the 1 week, 2 week, etc...and now it has been 6 1/2 years since Stormie went to the Bridge...I will always miss her..she is my soul dog. It does get better but you NEVER EVER forget the loving pawprints on your heart. Mrs. Gates |

| Cheryl and Barkley, That is such a beautiful message. Today marks one month since Murf went home. I am so sorry that anyone has to go through this grief. Your message helped me wipe off my tears a little. You are so right - in the end all we really have is time and love. Chrissie and Murf |

| Hi Cheryl, Sunny left for the rainbow bridge just one day after Barkley. Our babies are romping together waiting for us. My prayers are with you. Leslie |

| Oh Cheryl, I know, I think of you and Barkely all the time. I understand how your heart aches. Today is only five days since I lost my Nancy and I can't stop crying.. I cry and cry...still can't believe I have lost two aiha dogs, so unfair. This illness is unfair to all of us! What a horrid disease. My little black dachshund has had mild diarrhea these last couple of days.. I am nuts with worry, I have checked his gums and the thought of any illness makes me crazy. He is really ok though, he is eating, playing and acting normal... so far, but I am so paranoid... You will be in my continued prayers.. AnnaMarie |

| My thoughts and prayers go out to you. It's been three weeks since Miracle went to the bridge and my heart still aches over her sudden passing. |

| Thank you to all of the "pet parents" who have privileged enough and brave enough to love their furry children so completely ... and to then mourn their loss just as fully. It seems that broken hearts are much like broken bones...they may appear to some to have healed and to be functioning once again as they should. But to the seasoned eye of those with the wisdom to know...the broken place can always be found even though the body continues to journey on. My heart will now forever have a permanent place of pain...and a permanent place of joy with the name of "Barkley" as long as it continues to beat. But I feel privileged to have had the opportunity for the latter, even at the cost of the former, since each time my heart aches it also gives me the image of him joyfully running as if his very life depended on it...and my heart again whispers "thank you, my little guy, for all the gifts of you." There is an old song that now has taken on new meaning for me... "Smile...though your heart is aching Smile...even though its breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile...and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you. Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile...what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile... If you just smile." Barkley Boy, you are my tears...but also my smiles. Thank God you were mine...if only for a little while. May these words ease all of your tears...and bring back to you your smiles. Tenderly, Cheryl (and always Barkley) |
