farewell my sweet friend
There have been a lot of tears tonight. Thankfully, they have helped most in our family fall asleep, but for me they keep coming. Our sweet Beatrice (the beagle) was hit by a car tonight and killed.
I am so sad. Perhaps I am writing to seek comfort for those who knew her or read my blog regularly. I do know this will be a farewell for awhile. My heart is so broken and a bit ( alot, actually) of joy has left me…I can not even post a photo of my dear friend.
So long.

Oh, Carol, that sounds so hard. Both Ariana and I are very sad. How much fun and joy she added to your home. I am so sorry for you and your family. There’s nothing like a dog, and certainly no one like Beatrice.

I am so sorry, Carol. That is really sad. I remember staying with you the week you got her– she was the cutest little puppy in the world! How awful that it happened so suddenly. I’m sorry.

I am sorry. I am not much of a pet person, but I loved Bea. She was a very good dog. I remember you leaving soap operas on for her while you were at work.

Oh, Carol! I am so, so sad to hear this news. And so sorry that you and your family are going through this right now. I think I do know just how devastating the loss of a pet- a family member - can be. And it’s so hard. I hope you take all the time you need…to grieve, and celebrate Bea’s life with your little ones. Blessings to you.

I am really sad… Bea was a wonderful dog with so much personality. I love her freaky face, and I was so touched that she remembered me whenever we came, even though it had been a long time. I loved it that she liked to sit on my feet, and would stare at me until I would give her some attention. She had such expressive eyes. She was clever too, and found ways to break her diet and sneak in some extra food! You how we loved our dog Indy, and there will never be another one like him. bea is the same way. There will never be another one like Bea. But that doesn’t mean you will never love another dog. I believe God made dogs for our joy and wonder, and to bless us. Thank you Lord for giving us Bea and Indy.

We are so so sorry for your lost. The lost of a pet is truly devastating. They bring so much joy and happiness to our lives when they are gone the void seems to be unbearable.
Keeping you in our prayers,

Carol, I am truly sorry. May God bring you and your family comfort.

Oh, Carol. I am so sorry. She has been a part of your family since before the kids were born and her memory will always be so precious. A few tears have been shed in this household as well.

So so sorry for your loss. I know pets are often as special as family, and their loss as devastating. I will pray comfort upon you and your family.

I’m so so sorry. I know we don’t know each other personally (and while I love reading your blog I don’t often leave comments) but please know I’m thinking of you. Kristina

I’m crying just thinking about your little friend. She really was a good dog and a huge part of your family. I’m so sorry.

So sorry to hear about your loss. A big ((((((HUG))))) for you all.
June 13th, 2006 at 1:30 am
I’m so sorry for your lost. You’ll not only have to deal with your own emotions but also your little ones, and I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like. Please take good care of yourself and your lovely family.

Oh Carol and family, our hearts go out to you. The loss of a good companion is a hurt like nothing else. Peace to you, and comfort.

I am so sad for you, Nathan and those sweet kids. It has been so bittersweet to read all of the love coming your way from everyone who loves you Carol. Anyone who has loved a dog (pet) knows how you feel. Take all the time you need to heal your heart. Bea was a special gal - have never seen another dog do the “freaky Face” with such verve.
Peace to you sweet sister.

I’m so sorry, Carol! I wish I could do something for you and Nathan. I loved Beatrice and her “freaky face”. Remember sneaking up to the house just so we could see it? Beatrice was such a good dog…perfect for your family. She will be missed.
I love you…

I’m coming to this a bit late, but I’m so sorry for your loss. Pets are the easiest, most loving family members and they never ask for anything from us, do they?
