About this design:
Everyday earring design inspired by jewelrylessons.
I lost the canine love of my life last week-end, she was 12 years old but in such good shape that it was brutal to lose her, her heart just stopped in her sleep... So tough on the whole family, to all you dog lovers out there, hug your dog :)

Rosie says:Really like the earrings, they will go with everything! I am so sorry for your loss. It was one of the hardest things to loose my k9 best friend just over a year ago. The heart break lessens with time, then you can remember and talk of all the great and crazy things she did
it helps.

Natures Precious Gems says:What a nice way to remember your loved one:) We lost one of our dals in October to liver failure and her brother 2 months later to a brain tumor. Even tho it was a sudden loss, at least your dog didn’t endure any pain and you didn’t have to make any tough decisions. I wish we would have been so lucky. For Christmas my husband bought me a blue topaz ring in rememberance of them. I designed a mug with a collage of pictures for him. Both of us were unaware of our gifts to one another in honor of our dalmatians.

Gemme Designs says:No matter how it happens, the result is the same, finding your best friend dead in your house when you awake one morning is very tough, I’m not sure luck has anything to do with it. A double loss in such little time sure is awful, sorry for your loss…

Canadian chicky karen says:I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you. I love all of my animals so much, and when I lost one of my dogs last year I was devastated, it hurt so much.
Your earrings are lovely and the name truly says it all!!!

Vampire Chickie Ravin says:Beautiful earrings. I feel your pain as well, just a couple of months ago I lost Lachesis, Chesis for shord my greatly loved greyhound mix, it was sudden as well, as the vet was drawing up the shot to put her to sleep, she suddenly went into a seizure in my arms and died. I was, and still am devastated. She was my best friend, and my cat Harley who I swear was my soulmate, despite my being human and she feline, died a couple of years ago, and I still haven’t gotten over it, I don’t think I ever will, she was the most special furry companion I have ever had. I know it probably wont help much now, but know she’s with you in spirit, always will be, and will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Gemme Designs says:Thanks Ravin
I know what you mean, I had such a special bond with my dog, I wish I could have had a chance to say goodbye, so many things I would had done differently that day… It helps to talk about it though and thank you all for sharing your stories
Sorry for your loss Ravin…

grama rose aka stormy says:Your earrings are stunning….and I am so sad for you about your dog…I have two standard poodles and I am staying home with them for Mother’s day I would go nuts without them..of course I live alone with them so they are my babies.. Prayers to you !!! Deb

KittyMom Linda says:You have my deepest sympathy Johanne on the loss of your dear loved family member. You must be suffering on this Mother’s Day to know that your “child” is no longer able to spend the day with you. It is wonderful that we are able to share this grief openly here as sometimes we try to keep it in. It must be particularly difficult to wake up to find our loved one is gone. We are never prepared even when we know the time is near, but to have them go so suddenly is hard to imagine. And, also to you Beth, your loss is also felt by everyone here. Blessings to both of you. Oh, the earrings are a wonderful tribute – almost forgot!
