For those who may be interested, we are going to gather in Megg's memory, for the candle lighting ceremony that's held each Monday evening at http://petloss.com . Her name has been added to the Bridgelist and it's a lovely ceremony. She was a very special girl who is loved and missed by us all. At the bottom you'll find information from the site to explain a little of how it works.
The Monday Pet Loss Candle Ceremony
On Monday evenings all across the globe we light candles in memory of our pets. It is a very healing ritual with no adherence to any religion orcreed, just a simple lighting of candles to bring us all together. While there is an on-line Ceremony in our Chat Room every Monday, the Candle Ceremony does not have to be done on-line. Each of us can light our candlesin our own way, and privately, but since we share a common love and sincemost of us do light them at the same time, we are joined in love and inspirit.
Candle lighting times are... In USA: 10 PM Eastern 9 PM Central 8 PM Mountain 7 PM Pacific 6 PM Alaska 5 PM Hawaii
We also have online lists of the pets we honor in the Monday Candle Ceremony: The Bridgelist for those pets whohave passed on to the Rainbow bridge and the SpecialNeeds list for those pets who are ill or have special physical needs.

Linda, This is a very wonderful thing that you are doing for Megg and Lynn. I will lite my candle every Monday
at 7PM for them and for all the others that we all have lost.
However, I know my self very well. I have a huge wound that stops me from even reading most of the tributes to
our lost pups. Even writing this is tearing me apart. The only way I can cope with this is to hide from it at all times.
I will NOT be at your site, I will be the silent candle lit on the sea.
Thanks again,

Brenda:
We each deal with things a little differently. You do what you need to do...we know that you care very deeply for Lynn and Megg and that's what matters. Besides that... by lighting your candle at the same time, and putting it on the sea, you will be with each of us who lights a candle at the same time.

What a beautiful gesture.... thank you Linda for doing this for Lynn and Megg....
Lynn... your Megg has touched so many of us of the years ...... her joy, her sweetness... You shared her life with us and now she will forever be a part of our life.............
Olesia, owned by Izzy-45lb SWD, Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.3, Stable almost 7 yrs! Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.
