Just so you know hundreds of us cried with you through this video. A lot of us know what it like to loss a pet and how much it hurts. You are not alone we are here.
My heart goes out to you, Norrine & your family for your loss. You apologised for not being your "usual self"; I would say no apology is necessary. You are your usual self. Your loving, human self is YOU!! That is why I follow you: you're honest, nothing fake about you. You are a genuine person, with genuine feelings, & please don't stop being that. Sending you lots of hugs & support.
My heart is breaking for you. They are not pets, they are family members. I’ve lost several and it never gets easier. I asked myself why I set myself up for such pain, but prefer to look at it as setting myself up for unconditional love. Treasure your memories. Sending hugs across the miles.
Our fur babies are more loyal then people most times, unconditional love to and from them is why I think it hurts so so much. I cried with you thinking of my Arrow that we lost years ago. They are free from pain now playing on the other side. As hard as it is to say “see you later” you gave him the best life and didn’t let him suffer. You were a blessing to him.💕
Our pets become such a huge, important part of our lives, and our grief is real and painful, because they are true family. Their unconditional love is the purest form. Heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
It is so hard to let a pet go. Our little 12-yr-old poohuahua is still with us, but she has congestive heart failure. We know it won't be long before she's not with us anymore. It's definitely hard to let them go, but harder still to watch them suffer. I think you made the best decision for your doggo. Thank you for sharing Domino with the rest of us - he certainly knew how much he was loved! What a sweet pupper. ❤🐶❤ Hugs!
My heart goes out to you! I lost my Precious in October to kidney failure. We put her to sleep and our day was almost identical to yours. Domino was a beautiful dog and loved your family as much as you loved him. You did the right, compassionate thing even though it was hard and ripped your heart out. You showed Domino how much you loved him by your courage.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I had to have two of my elderly cats put to sleep in the last couple of years I know how heartbreaking it is when you love them so much. I sat up with him all night on his last night as he couldn't even manage to lie down, but when he looked at me and tried to meow I knew he was asking me to help him end his pain...I'm crying again now just thinking about it. The vet said he'd had a stroke and his lungs were full of fluid. Please take comfort in knowing that you gave him an amazing life and in return he gave you unconditional love. Sending lots of hugs.
I cry with you, even though we've never met. I just love that we are meant to have these God-given connections with animals. We never forget even one of the four-footed (or however many feet they may have) treasures that come into our hearts. My tiny treasure that I have right now -- a five-pound Yorkie -- is a rescue dog, and I'm just glad I can make the second half of her life better than the first half. It's obvious that you all greatly loved Domino (FANTASTIC name, by the way) and did the best for him. I know how hard a decision like that is to make. Have no regrets, my dear.
I have a little long haired chi and just adopted a little Yorkie (and 3 adopted cats), all rescues. I've never had a Yorkie before but I'm falling in love with her. I had never had a chi before either and, despite their reputation, my chi is the sweetest, best natured, laid back little boy in the world.
My dear, many of us have experienced losing a beloved pet and your pain is very relatable. Please don't apologize for expressing your grief in your videos, it is the season you are currently in your life and if we can we will try to support you. Sending you hugs and light.
Our pain is shared. We live out in the country and people would just abandon their dogs and somehow they always ended up at our house. We had to let go of 5 strays which were part of our family. All between 13 to 15 years old. What a blessing they found us.. and we all would have waited for you to post a video. Love to you and your puppy .
Puppies have a wonderful way of giving you a little time where they are their old self just to let you know it’s time. Then they say goodbye! You acted for the best of your dog which is never easy but ALWAYS for the best. Your final gift was to let him go and stop suffering. 💗💗💗💗
It’s been over 30 years since we had to put down our Dalmatian and I still sometimes cry thinking of her. And YES through this video for sure! They most certainly ARE a part of the family! I’m so sorry ❤️
My heart breaks for you. My tears were running down my face as you told about Domino’s last days. We had to go through the same thing with our 14 year old yellow lab named Harley. He was the best dog and we still laugh at some of our Harley stories and he passed in 2015. It is heartbreaking and we didn’t get another dog until 2 years later. Now we have a beautiful (and huge) Newfoundland named Sadie and an Australian Shepherd named Buddy, (cause we thought Sadie would like a Buddy). Like everyone says they are way more than pets, they are definitely family.
I'm so sorry for your loss... I also lost my 18 yr old Cat named Ben on Christmas Eve,, he went to sleep and never woke up .. I don't have any human children but my 4 fur babies are my world. This is a true feeling of loss. Don't ever apologize for that . hugs & prayers from VA
I just watched your video and spent the next 20 minutes crying for your loss and remembering the loss of my Kodi who passed away about 2 years ago. Kodi was an American Eskimo and we had him for about 12 years. it takes courage to do a video as you did. I know I couldn't do that. You are such a special lady. A Hug to you.
People who say they are “just pets” do not get it. They are treasured family members. I lost my staffy x Jessie in February 2020. She was also 14 and had a slow growing tumour that we had successfully managed for over 12 months. At Christmas she developed an untreatable fast growing tumour that was misdiagnosed initially. I knew it was time. After she passed, I was sitting there devastated and decided to look on the Internet at puppies as I always planned to get another dog. That afternoon I picked Teddy up. He’s a real joy and a super affectionate red heeler cross. He helped me through. I miss Jessie but I couldn’t let her suffer. You did the right thing.❤️
I'm with you on that! I'm so sorry about your lovely dog but, like you, getting another as soon as possible helps me to come to terms with loss. I have a Hearing Dog who has been such a wonderful help when my husband passed away and when one of my two cats passed soon after. When the time comes for Luna (Hearing Dog) I am guaranteed to get another but may have to wait for a suitable one. My other cat is nearly 18 now and showing signs of slowing down. I know I will be a heap when he goes but I'm not sure how Luna would react to a kitten. Rehoming centres won't allow cats to go to a home where there is a dog.
I am so sorry for you loss, he is now on the other side of the rainbow in puppy heaven, so I know how you hurt and I wish I could just hug you for all you hurt... Dalmatian is one of my favorite dogs from a little girl. Fond Memories, BTW you have such a cute home nice and cozy...
Hi, just recently started watching your videos and going back on older ones. It is so hard to lose our pets. They are our babies. Please don't forget how much God loves us, and yes, He loves his animals too, so they will also stay in His arms waiting for you.
My heart breaks for you! I know the pain of losing your pet all too well. They are way more than pets. I want you to know I will be praying for peace and comfort for you and your children. You have many people and subscribers such as myself that care about you and will be praying for you. You have sincerely been an inspiration for me. I feel a kinship with you. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and love how real and open you are about your experiences. Keep your head up. Just remember all the sweet memories with your fur baby for the past fourteen years. Love and Hugs! Lisa in Virginia
I knew right away when you started this video that something was wrong I could see it in your eyes. I am so sorry for the loss of Domino. Your tears show that he was totally loved. That's all they want from us, and that's exactly what you and your family gave him. We who love our pets know your sadness and hope that our words will somehow comfort you during this sad time.
You don’t need to upbeat for us! We love you no matter what! And your loss is huge! I’m facing the same thing, within the next week or two! He’s 17 and nearly 90 pounds. He’s had an amazing life, both of our pups!!! 😢😢😢
Never apologize for being a kind, caring human being. My heart goes out to you and your family....it is difficult to loose a family member but he was in pain and is now at peace.
I am so sorry your beloved dog got so sick. I lost my dog 4 years ago from cancer. She was also put down, but I didn't get to be with her at the time as I was in the hospital. Cherish the memories.
I truly understand the hurt and sadness of losing a fur-baby. Thank you for sharing him in this video. My avatar is of my boy Cosmo. He was a Turkish Angora, my “17 pounds of love”. His adopted sister Tripawd (yes, she was 3-legged!) went before him . I miss them both very much. For me, eventually it got easier to talk about them, see pictures of them. I’ve since rescued a brother and sister Maine Coon cats whose human mom passed away...they’ve helped fill my heart. I love the awning, and the planter! Sending you and your family a huge collective hug.
My heart is breaking for you and your family. It hurts so much to lose our fuzzies. Each one is special. And your Domino was so very special. I loved the story of Domino's habit of sitting in your lap. You are blessed to have such precious memories. {{{HUGS}}} 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Norrine thank you so much for sharing your life, your devastation, and this Trash to Treasure video. I think pets hit our hearts so much because they're our babies no matter how old they get and they can't take care of themselves. You did the right thing and as heartbreaking as it was and is, that's all that matters! Love and hugs to you and all who loved Domino!
😢So sorry fo your loss. Be proud that you were such a fantastic fur mom. I know you gave him such a good life. Take one day at a time and give yourself time to grieve. It’s OK to cry and make sure you talk when you need to. We’re all here for you. Sending lots of love and hugs. ❤️❤️❤️
Norine, they are not pets but a beloved family member. I am so sorry for your loss of Domino. You gave him the best life and, best of all, a dignified and loving ending. It is never easy losing our fur babies. My prayers are with you and your family. RIParadise sweet Domino at the Rainbow Bridge.
My pets have always been my family. Each one is very special and will always hold a special place in my heart. Domino was ready and I'm glad you and the girls understood it was time to let him go. Please, take some time to grieve if you need! We will be here when you are ready to return. 💖 Btw, the upcycle was really nice and I thought unique. Step stool on top step stool...oh my! That's another danger. Please be careful. 💖 See you on Facebook, Cas. 💖
I am so sorry about your puppy. I enjoyed seeing him in videos. I know you will miss him terribly. Thanks for loving him enough to let him go. He’s not “just a pet”, he’s a family member.
Norrine if I could reach into my computer screen and hug you I would! Domino was always fun to see in your videos! He was definitely a family member and I'm so very sorry that you had to put him down but you made the right decision. Sending you and the girls lots of love and hugs! Now, on to your project in this video! It turned out so well and looks great! And I love the little succulents that you planted, what a good idea! Thank you so much for sharing this video and take care!
I’m crying w/you because it’s all to familiar and my heart hurts for you at this time of grieving! You powered thru and did a great job w/this video! Obviously he was loved and he loved back as they so faithfully do! big hug to you!!
I am SOOO sincerely sorry about your puppa hunny❣️🥺❤️🩹 They’re not just pets, there’s an extension of n part of our family. That’s a very long time for a good size dog as he was to love hunny❣️💜🐾💖🐾💜 Bless your heart❣️💜♥️💜 I know it hurts SO bad n they leave the biggest hole in our hearts n lives ever‼️ We are blessed for having them with us❣️ ({HUGS})💜🐾💜 I love this‼️ I could watch videos like this all day. Especially when it’s stuff being made with girl power‼️😊 You go Norrine‼️ Excellent job lady!!! Your yard n sitting area looks SO inviting! Thanks for the info on propagating succulents❣️
Oh no, Norrine. That is such a big hurt. Even just getting to see him on your videos, I’m sad too. All dogs go to Heaven when they cross the Rainbow Bridge. You baby is running around telling all the other dogs what an amazing family he had on Earth. Hugs to you and the girls, honey!
God gave you a great memory of your last walk. Our furbabies will stay as long as they possibly can and beyond. But we have to let them go; tell them how much we love them and thank them for every happiness they gave us. My heart breaks for you, Norrine, but know he's waiting for you and it will feel like minutes to him when you reunite! Much love, Dearest Friend!
I am so very sorry, I cried with you. These are not just "animals" they are our family (children) as well. It is so hard make that decision, I know. My heart and thoughts are with you and he knew how much you all loved him, he was lucky to have you as much as you were lucky to have him.
I am so sorry for the loss of your doggie, it is so hard to lose our pets! They definitely give us so much unconditional love! They are family! My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family! 🙏❤🐾🙏❤🐾 Such a unique way to upcycle the blinds! You did a great job! As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! Again, so sorry for your loss! 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
I am so sorry for your loss, my dogs were my heart. The loss can be very devastating, they are family. God bless you with peace and comfort. I cried with you, I know the heartbreak.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Yes, a pet is definitely a family member! We grieve them just like we would any other family member. I love watching your channel! It just won't be the same without Domino!
So so sorry for the loss of your precious fur baby! Thank you also for showing us that things don’t always go perfect with the projects and sometimes we do have to ask for help. Everything turned out great!
Finally! You’ve shown how much work a project demands, to beat a great result for the trellis. The new succulent garden is adorable. My heart goes out to you for the loss of your puppy. Many of us know the depth of the pain you’re experiencing and we feel for you.
So very sorry for your loss. Your puppy has been a huge part of your success on your journey. You have been blessed with a treasure trove of memories. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and prayers!!! 💔💞🙏🙏🙏
Our pets give us the best days and one of the worst. With senior dogs, it’s especially hard. Have peace as you go through the grieving process, you did the absolute best thing for him. Sending lots of healing love to you and your family. ❤️
I totally understand your hurting heart. We had to say goodbye to our 16.5 yr old puppy in October. I was on the other side of the country, helping with grandkids after their sister was born 3 months early. I didn’t get to say goodbye to my precious puppy, & my poor hubby had to handle it by himself. I miss him. They ARE family! ❤️❤️❤️
As a mom of a 15 year chihuahua, my heart breaks for you. Sending prayers and hugs. Don't worry about us, just care for yourself as you heal. Much love.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m crying with you. I have three cats who mean the world to me and I am dreading losing them. Pets are definitely family members and losing them is heartbreaking. Sending love and hugs to you.
I'm so sorry for your loss of Domino. We love our fur babies. We had to let our Maggie go 2 years ago, and our Kitty, Pepper last summer. We said no more kitties. And weren't ready for another puppy. But, you know what they say about making plans..... We took in a rescue and she's been a wonderful fur baby for me. She protects me and loves us unconditionally. No words will ease it, but time does help. Love your videos. Hang in there Norrine.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose a family member. I had to put my old girl Daisy down back in Oct. I've had her since she was 8 weeks old. She was almost 20 yrs old. I wasn't as sad as I should have been, but I had been saying my good bye's to her for two years. Don't get me wrong I did love her and miss her. But I know I did the right thing. God Bless you and your family for your loss. Prayers to you all. Just think of all the good times that you both shared. God has him now and he's running and playing like a puppy and I believe that one day we will see our sweet babies again. Stay strong, it gets better in time.
Our dogs were our babies, and i am so sorry 😞. In Sept of 2020 we had to put down the last of our 4 dogs. It is so heart breaking. Don't be sorry. He was loved and taken care of and just remember all the good times. Dogs are our family and they love us unconditional ❤ My prayers are with you. Love 💘 hugs and blessings.
My heart is breaking for you and your family. Pets give you what many humans are incapable of giving: unconditional love and loyalty. As you well know, they bring much joy to our lives. We lost our beloved Gideon (a Beagle/Terrier mix) 17 years ago and still miss him. It's so obvious that your puppy's unconditional love and loyalty was reciprocated by you.
Oh, Maureen, my heart goes out to you! Our pets are our family and it hurts just as much when you lose a family member. Especially if they are with us 24/7 as they are with this covid-19 shut down. Hold onto those special moments! God be with you. Thanks for all your joyous projects.
Praying for you special. Love in Jesus. Also, I think you are very creative and did a great job on your projects. Your seating area looks so cozy & relaxing. God bless
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand your heart. You gave him the best life, just know, he'll be with you always. That little shadow, that flash of movement, he's there, Love and peace to you.
So sorry for your loss of your fur baby. We receive unconditional love from our pets and are so blessed when they are with us for so long. We lost our dog of 17 years and yes it's a family member, Ripley died in 2017, and it still makes me cry, thanks for sharing.
With tears I'm writting. They are Our Furr Babies.. I Always go back to my Dakota..He too, Unconditional LOVE.. And He watched over and loved ALL HIS KIDS.. The neighborhood kids.. They all played together.. when he was too old to run out to passerbyer's.. They would, all Ages come & Love on him. Parents I didn't know .. I'd say he won't bite as a wee one comes up..'Oh, We know & LOVE Dakota'..(Boader Collie God given,🙏🤟 Protected All Of HIS KIDS)..All cried talking about him, when he left.. So, I and all Understand your heartache.. Your baby's All growing up together. A Dalmatian. He's BEAUTIFUL.. LOVE ALL YOU DO.. Gentle Hugs for you and your Family.. it's been 5 yrs.. Trust me, Buddy will be talked about in LAUGHTER and tears.. love ya'll..💞💕💗🤟🙏❣❣
I still miss my Husky, gone since 2013. My girl ShyAnne will do something that was so like Akaylah, that I end up thinking about her the rest of the day. Goes to show how humans and animals bond for life. We become so intertwined.
I am heartbroken for you over such a profound loss. I am tearing up hearing about your last day with him. You know you did the right thing for him. Yes, it's hard...but it's right. He's no longer struggling. So bitter-sweet that man's best friend lives such a short life. I have a 17 year old that's failing quickly and I know this sad day will be upon me soon enough too. My condolences to you in such a sad time. I hope you find comfort with your happy memories of him. Thank you for sharing with us this difficult time. We are sending healing thoughts and energy to you.
I lost my sweet boy on March 12, just a few days after writing this. It is still so painful. I hope your new dog helps you heal. I hope one day I will be at a place where I can adopt a new dog too.
Had to write again... this project is genius. I love the look of the awning. Also, the seedling planter is brilliant. You are such a creative lady. Again, I’m so sorry for your loss. You share so much of yourself with all of us, please don’t apologize for sharing your grief. Share as much as you want with us. We understand and we care.
Norrine my heart is breaking for you. Through the miles I send you a big hug. Not sure how you even made it through this video. I love your sitting area it looks so inviting. I am sure as I write this you are sitting there now with a glass of wine. Take care.
Thank you for being real and authentic with us; Domino was for sure your family member and a beloved one at that. I know what this is like and it is so hard! Praying for you and your family Norrine! It’s ok to cry.
I'm SO SORRY for your loss. My dog (who is my ESA animal / pet) is 12 yrs old and I definitely consider her a family member, as I have ALL the pets, especially dogs, we've had over the years. You're so brave to make that (HARD) decision, AND to keep on working, and sharing this video with us, despite your pain. Best wishes to you and your family, and as always, thank you for sharing! Much LOVE, Ki
I was crying as you told about your fur baby. I've had to take beloved fur babies to the vet and end their suffering. It's never easy. I pray that in time, the pain you feel now will lessen as you remember all the good times. And I truly believe that we will be reunited with our fur babies when we leave this world. Hugs for you and your girls. ❤
