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.

Oh Rachel, I’m so sorry. Sending hugs and condolences to you, your mum and Cricket. That dear little girl will be missed by all of you and all of us.
Thank you.
The grief is deep when we lose a dog. Be gentle with yourself. Do something special to remember her. Peace to you, you mom and Cricket.
Thank you.
Oh Rachel, I am in tears reading this. Dogs are the centre of my universe so I fully understand the gut wrenching shock you have received at dear little Butterfly’s passing. Give Cricket lots of extra pats because she will be grieving in her silent way and will not understand what has occurred. Spread the love. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you.
Gigi and I are so sorry to hear about Butterfly I know she will be sadly missed by you all.

By a sweet butterfly, The world has been blessed.
And now for awhile anyway, the world will seem less.

When All That’s Left Is Love by Rabbi Allen S. Maller
When I die
If you need to weep
Cry for someone
Walking the street beside you.
You can love me most by letting
Hands touch hands, and Souls touch souls.
You can love me most by
Sharing your Simchas (goodness) and
Multiplying your Mitzvot (acts of kindness).
You can love me most by
Letting me live in your eyes
And not on your mind.
And when you say Kaddish for me
Remember what our
Torah teaches,
Love doesn’t die People{puppies} do.
So when all that’s left of me is love
Give me away.
That’s beautiful. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss. Condolences to you!
Thank you.
Oh Rachel I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I never met Butterfly in person I loved her. I know that sounds crazy but it is true. Just like when I saw Midnight on the internet I had a strong feeling to adopt her and I was right. Butterfly knew she was loved and was very lucky to have such a loving home and family. Again I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
I’m so sorry you’ve lost your Butterfly. Dogs hold a piece of our heart, and it’s so hard to say goodbye.
Thank you.
So sorry to her about Butterfly, Rachel.
Thank you.
Rachel I am so, so sorry. I have loved following Butterfly’s, Cricket’s and your daily lives and will miss Butterfly. You really do love them so much and it hurts when they leave. I’ll light a candle for Butterfly in our house for a while. It will be a nice reminder.
Thank you.

So sorry to hear this. Brings a sad smile thinking of Ms. Butterfly with ears flapping running in Heaven’s flowery meadows as free as the wind. Know that she is and will be every somewhere close by remembering the love you gave her. Blessings to you.

So sad to hear this news Rachel. She always made me smile as soon as I saw her pictures. Condolences to you and Mom and Cricket..

My condolences, Rachel
Thank you.
We are all so very sorry and so sad to hear about Butterfly’s crossing the bridge. There are no more words, except to say we all know what you are going through. God bless you. Pip and the boys
Thank you. I knew that I needed to tell all of my blogging friends about Butterfly’s passing, because you are the ones who know exactly how I feel. The outpouring of love has been overwhelming and incredibly comforting.
Doggy people understand completely; it is devastating and merely thinking about the death of dear Uncle Johnny all those years ago now still brings tears to our eyes. Take care. Pip and the boys
I am so sorry for your loss. Stay strong and let your memories heal your heart.
Thank you. I have pictures of Butterfly right over my computer and I really feel like she’s here with me, reading all of these wonderful messages of love.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Cricket durning this sad time.
Thank you.
I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. You have captured her beautifully in these pages.
Thank you so much!
My heart goes out to you and yours for this great loss. As you’ve noted in your grief two truths: life indeed is fragile and we can learn so much about it (life) from our pups. Be well soon.
Thank you.
So sorry about the loss of your beautiful companion.
Thank you.
