Our sweet Olivia

Livy

Livy

Olivia imprinted on my children from day one when we picked her up 9 years ago. They cuddled her, played with her, and cried deeply whenever she was sick. It was over time she imprinted on me. Having not grown up with a pet, I was a bit standoffish. Yet, she ignored that and would follow me anywhere. The responsibility of having a dog was burdensome at times; but, it became one of our greatest blessings. The responsibilities were a very cheap price for her priceless love.

She gave us and taught us what unwavering love feels like! I knew losing her would be hard but didn’t think it would be this hard and this painful. I know the degree of pain is another testament to how much we love her! This kind of love will never die. She is forever a part of our hearts.

They say all dogs go to heaven - if this was untrue, I know in my heart God would make the exception for our Livy. She protected us. She never wanted to see us fight. She demanded affection from everyone. She was patient with us. She was beautiful, smart, charming, … absolutely everything we would want and need in a family member. She completed us. Her earthly absence has broken us and we pray God heals us through our gratitude and acceptance. We are extremely thankful for her time spent with us and accept her loving memories will live on forever.

Forever missing and forever loving our sweet sweet Olivia,

Your Gilmore Family

When you have to let them go, you miss the licks, the tail wagging. the ear flaps. When we had to let our Harley go in 2021, it was the toughest thing I had ever done. He came back to me for an extra snore the next day - I know it was him. I still miss his conversations with me, but eventually we got Max -and oh my - the Schnauzer joy he brings to his older sister Schatzi who looks very much like your Livvy. I'm sure she and Harley are together having a good time!!

So sorry for your loss. I have been there and it always leaves a sad spot. However the love we have with them outshines it. She is now your sweet angel. Blessed to you and your family for being a great part of her life as she was to you.

I know the feeling.
by: Patrick E Libby

In 2012 my Smokie went across the Rainbow Bridge and I definitely can relate to the feelings that everyone is going through right now. Schnauzers do bring so much joy and happiness into our lives each day that they are with us. It is so hard to say goodbye to them when it does take place but place Olivia in your hearts where she will always remain forever.

Losing a beloved Schnauzer is harder than losing some relatives. The heartbreak you feel will go on for quite a while. But, believe it or not, there will be a day when you will be able to speak about Olivia and not get upset. Her memory and the joy you had with her will shine through.

When you do think about getting another dog (you have too much love not to do so), please note that every dog has a very different personality. Different quirks. You won't replace Olivia, you never can, but the love of a little friend can be yours again.

What a beautiful tribute to your sweet girl. It is such a huge loss. I found it interesting that you said you didn’t grow up with a dog . And now you understand that life truly is better with a dog!❤️ Prayers for you and your family.
