Butterfly died at six thirty this morning. She has taught me so many things, and now one more: life is fragile, well-being is fragile, but love is the strongest substance there is.
I loved you with all my heart Miss Butterfly, and I always will.

I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Sorry to hear… Find some comfort in the fact you gave her such a good life… 😦
Thank you.
Oh Rachel I am so very, very sorry. I know the depth of grief our souls suffer on the loss of our pets when we are as connected as you were with Miss Butterfly. She will be waiting for you when it is time for you to pass on and join her, welcoming you with wiggles and kisses. Love is never in vain.
Thank you.
Oh, I am so, so sorry. Sending love your way.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry Rachel. I know you loved her with your whole heart and I’m sure she loved you just as much.You gave her a great life for the years you were together. Run free Miss Butterfly!
Thank you.
Rachel, I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to your family, Cricket very much included. Fly free, little Butterfly.
Thank you.
So sorry, Rachel.
Thank you.

That’s beautiful. Thank you.
I am so sorry Rachel! We had to put our 16 1/2 year old dog down a few weeks ago, and I know the pain. I loved hearing about Butterfly in your blog posts so much and I’ll miss her a lot.
Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss.
Thank you. She was in a lot of pain and in truth; Daisy was kept going by her strong heart. Literally! It was the only thing still running right. I miss her, but the memory of her is still stark and she’s not likely to be forgotten anytime soon.
I think you feel the same for dear little Butterfly.
We’ve all lost pets, and it’s just like losing a member of the family because they ARE family. Just like family, though, we never forget them either 🙂
I can’t imagine not having Butterfly floating around in my head. That would be unbearable.
Dear Rachel,
I am so sorry for the loss of your little friend Butterfly. I know how painful this time is for you as I lost My Ollie back in October. I remember both my husband and coming out of the animal hospital crying so hard we could hardly see. And a woman seemed to come out of nowhere touching my arm saying it’s alright to cry now, but I hope you find comfort in the knowledge that you will see your furry little friend again someday…because love never dies.🙏
Thank you.
Rachel, I saw this on Facebook from another blogger, of all things. I am so sorry. I know how much Butterfly means to you. She has been a wonderful family member. xo
Thank you.
So sorry for your ( and us, the blog readers) loss. Butterfly will live on in the memories of all who have read, giggled, and shook our heads at her antics that you have so skillfully written about. Peace be to you and your loved ones.
Thank you.
Oh no, reading this brings tears falling down my cheeks. My condolences.
Thank you.
Hugs and understanding for you at this sad time. It’s never easy yet we still have the memories, and, yes, lessons they give us in their short time with us.
Thank you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Hold on to the memories – they will never be lost.
Thank you.
I am so sad for you. What a great loss. Thinking of you all. x
Thank you.
Oh bless her, she will be sorely missed by you and us, so sorry x
Thank you.
I am so sorry, Rachel. As a fellow dog lover, I have been through this and there is virtually nothing worse. I hope they are all there to meet us when it’s our time. My heart is with you.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Butterfly was a special beauty and through your blog she touched many lives. My thoughts are with you and Cricket too. I know she’s missing Butterfly too. Bless both your hearts.
Thank you.
I felt as if I knew Butterfly through your writing. Thank you for that. I hope you feel the support of all your fans while you grieve this loss. Thank you for giving Butterfly a wonderful life.
Thank you.
Break my heart. I don’t know why, but I’ve grown particularly attached to your dogs. We lost our Jiffy Ponlast fall and it was very hard. It’s better now. Remember, all dogs go to heaven! Butterfly will be missed. Love to Cricket.
Thank you. If there is a heaven, Butterfly is eating a feast of pizza and chicken right now.
So sorry to hear that. All my sympathies.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry.
Thank you.
Oh I’m so very sorry for your loss Rachel.Fly high butterfly, hope cricket is ok xx
Thank you.
Just wanted to say I’m thinking of you, I know how hard it is. x
Ah, Rachel, I’m so sorry 😦 Hopefully, Butterfly’s path will cross with my little Dustin’s and they can continue making mischief together on the other side 🙂 x
That would be wonderful! Thank you.
I’m so sorry Rachel, that is so sad.
Thank you.
I am so very sorry . I enjoy reading about Cricket and Butterfly.

Awww! I am very sorry to hear this. You and Cricket are in my thoughts. I know how difficult this must be for both of you.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry, Rachel. I hope your memories of the wonderful life you had together are a comfort to you.
Thank you. they are.
I am so very very sorry.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your precious butterfly. Godspeed, little one. Wishing you comfort.
Thank you.
So sorry to hear about Butterfly. Hang on to your memories and remember she will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge.
Thank you.
We mourn with you. The stories of her life enriched our lives. She touched our lives and will be remembered.
Thank you.
Hey Rachel, you have been kind enough to follow my blog for a long time, and I have been following yours too for just as long. I love our little beings, we give them a good home and they give us so much in return… All I want to say is that I understand what you must be feeling right now. We don’t know each other but I believe that sharing them little slices of life, from one ocean end to the other, makes us better understanding folks. I also want to quote a phrase I have heard a few times, and as an ornithologist and environmentalist I will always stand by:” You haven’t touched your soul until you have connected with an animal”. Fairplay to you my friend, we need more people like you out there! 😉 Keep well, Franck.
Thank you.
We are so sorry for your loss, it is always hard to loose a furkid…we will send prayers and paw hugs …🙏🏻🐾
Thank you.
Oh Butterfly you have left us all to go over the Rainbow Bridge. Such very sad news and will miss all your adventures. I send my blessings and prayers to your family left behind.
Nose hugs to Cricket. R.I.P Butterfly – Mary & Benji x x
Thank you.
I’m very sorry to hear about Butterfly’s death. I have been heartbroken at various times in my life when I lost animal companions and so I send you and your mother my condolences. Peace to you.
Thank you.
I am so very sorry to learn of Butterfly’s passing away. Her death is a real loss and I send you my condolences. Amazing how close we are to our special pets and Butterfly could not have had a better chronicler of her life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you.
My deepest condolences. Sending positive thoughts and energy your way.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you, Cricket and your family.
Thank you.
Oh, Rachel. I am so sorry. I lost Angie six years ago and I’m still not over it. Time will dull the pain, but it never quite goes away.
Thank you.
Rachel, I have never met you or Butterfly but have come to know you both through your wonderful blog. I am in tears over the loss of Butterfly, I can only imagine how you are feeling. My heart goes out to you and Cricket and your mother.
Thank you.
Rachel, I don’t know what to say other than to tell you how sorry I am. I loved reading the adventures of Butterfly and Cricket and all of us who followed your posts will feel the loss – not as you do, but it is still a sorrowful day for us all. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and Grandma.
Thank you.
