Ellie died at home early Monday morning, after not eating much the previous day. She had her final bedtime hugs and scratches and then went to get a drink of water and rest by her wee wee pad, and by morning she was gone
A friend suggested that Cricket was getting bored alone in heaven and tapped Ellie on the shoulder, telling her to come sooner. I can believe that of Cricket, and I can believe Ellie would do that for her sister, but she is so deeply missed here on earth.
It’s hard to find words for the loss of Ellie, on top of the loss of Cricket just two months ago, which has left the apartment so completely dogless. My greatest consolation is that Ellie knew how deeply she was loved, and we know how completely she loved us.

So heartbreaking to read. We knew it would come but that never makes it any easier for anyone. My condolences for you are so deep. I’m happy to know that you spent time with two wonderful pups who gave you joy as they gave you joy. Take care.
Thank you so much!
I’m grieving with you.
Thank you!
Words will never do justice for the sorrows of the loss of a loved one. I’m sorry to hear this. You’re in my prayers.
Thank you!
I’m sorry for Ellie’s passing.
Thank you!
Oh this truly breaks my heart. 😔💔 I’m so very sorry for your losses Rachel. With love Matt
Thank you so much!
Very, very sorry to hear that ELLIE has passed. There are no words really except perhaps, as you said, ELLIE and CRICKET are together again across the Great Bridge. Blessings and three bows🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! I hope they are together.
My heart is breaking for you and your loss….
Thank you!
Dammit. Hearts here Rachel and great pics of a life well Ellie spent. It’s not much consolation right now but you were, obviously, a really good dog mom and Ellie and Cricket couldn’t have asked for more in a dog’s with humans life.
Thank you so much!
When we adopt a dog, we know we are signing up for heartbreak along with the joy they bring us. Knowing doesn’t make it any easier in the end….I am so very sorry for your loss of Ellie so soon after Cricket.
Thank you!

I’m sorry for your loss, Rachel—Ellie and Cricket were such fun-loving partners in crime. “Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.”—Agnes Sligh Turnbull
Thank you!
I am so sorry for your loss. It’s never easy, but losing Ellie so soon after Cricket is a hard blow. I think Cricket calling Ellie to keep her company is definitely what happened based on their dynamic on earth. They’ll be keeping an eye out on you and your mom for quite some time. *hugs*
I hope so. Thank you!
What a lovely life she had with you. Someone shared this, for you perhaps I think
“It came to me that, everytime I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog that comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.”

Thank you for sharing your happy memories with us! I am sorry for the hurt you are feeling now, but I celebrate Ellie feeling free of pain and in such joy on the Other Side. Happy Heaven Birthday, little one! 🎂
You’re right. I’m relieved for her, just not for me.
Perhaps she is working to introduce you to someone special even as we type. ❤️💕
I would definitely trust her judgment.
Rachel, I am heartbroken. I think you are right about Cricket, though. She did miss Ellie so much more than she let on. Now you have two angels watching over you. 💕
I really do. Thank you!
Gosh. I’m so sorry. 💔 Who will help you with your blogs now? Maybe when when you’re ready, you will adopt another dog or two with a way with with words.
That’s a lovely thought. Thank you.
I’m so very sorry, Rachel! I am praying for you!
Thank you!
I want to say something that helps but there are no words. I’m so so sorry and my heart is breaking for you.
Thank you!

I’m so sorry for two losses so close together, one is hard enough but two is very hard. I know she’s with cricket and they once again in each others company. May the you find peace and comfort from Heavenly Father.
Thank you!
Rachel, through all the stories, you and Cricket and Ellie, and I am so sorry for the losses.. yes, later, you are a dog person, dog family, and there will come a dog you love, to join you.. Warm hugs, keep your memories and share photos anytime with us please 🙂 …RIP lil ones…
Thank you!
I am sorry that you didn’t have more time with Ellie, especially since she had just lost her sister a little while ago. I know it will feel strange without the patter of puppy feet in your home, but I suspect Cricket and Ellie are tapping their feet in time together. And I am hoping that their beat sends a message to you that they loved you as much as you loved you as much as you loved them.
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry for you loss. As you said, they are now together keeping each other company and they both know how much you loved them.
Thank you!
I am so sorry for the loss of both your beloved dogs.
