A remembrance Lottery (closed)

«1
This is a lottery of remembrance and of new life.


If you guys read my past thread you know my baby of ten years died/had to be put down. She had mammary cancer. I have been grieving for days straight and I am sure I will for a very long time. She was always there for me but I have comfort knowing she was ready to go.

I bought a puppy. Drove 140+ miles when I got there, it was a freaking puppy mill. The guy only did it for work. The puppies ran and seemed like they have never been loved there whole life. I decided to get one, even though she was 17wks old (4 months) and $600 if they were cheaper I swear I would have taken them all to save them. She has settled down a little but still terrified.

So this is a lottery in remembrance of my baby, Cricket. (which today was rough because of the person who buried her (only ask me if you won't be grossed out). I cried for hours but then realized she had a long life. So I want to do this lottery in remembrance and to "giving life" to this new puppy and to be patient and provide her with a good home.

I'm done yapping so onto how this works:


Prizes:
1st: 100 sp prize
2nd: 50 sp prize
3rd: 25 sp prize

You may nominate someone in your place. I will use random.org.

To enter post a heartwarming picture to do with a puppy or a picture of you showing love to your pet.

    Sooo sorry for your loss trust me it can be hard to lose someone you love. It will pass by eventually but they will forever be in your heart.

    I lost a dog I had had for 14 years, 7 years ago and thought I would never be able to stand the lost, shortly there after I had a chance to take a rescue and give him a 'forever home', one that would love him, not abuse him. I never would have been able to do that if Romeo has still been with us, and as my husband said, he had a long, happy and wonderful life but it was time for him to go, and that perhaps he chose the time on purpose because he know Buddy needed a place to be happy.

    I suspect that maybe that might have been, in part, the same for Cricket, whose part in saving this new puppy is something to also honor her memory.

    I am sorry to hear about your loss. I don't want to be in the lottery (since I just got some amazing gifts lately so someone else need a turn) but I wanted to send you a hug. We lost our oldest cat last year. I know you provided a wonderful home and life so hopefully that will ease the pain.

    I'm so sorry (((hugs))) I won't be grossed out if you need to talk about what happened.

    Springfairy, I'm sorry for your loss as well :(

    As for the puppy mill, can you call the Humane Society where you are or maybe animal control? That guy sounds like he needs to be shut down asap! Maybe call the police dept and ask what can be done. I hate to hear of things like that.

    This is my version of my puppy Chloe in game:

    She is playing in a puddle where the shower broke lol

    This is the real Chloe:

    I would like to say that I'm very sorry for your loss, Hollena. It's never easy loosing a pet. They become your family, more then a pet actually. Also, thank you very taking in this new puppy. For giving her a chance at a better life, one filled with love. I rec'd the sim version of your baby, very cute. :)

    May I please nominate

    Cricket is a very beautiful dog. I'm going to your studio to reccomend her as soon as I'm done writing this post. That place sounds horrible.....and I feel really guilty about not being able to do anything. I've always liked dogs, even had an affinity with them, so I'm feeling even worse now. I'm sorry to everyone else who had a dog. I had this one dog....his name was Pepper (named by my Mom) he was this cute, young pit ball with white fur and little brown spots along his spine.

    You can enter me in the lottery, please. Could you also enter Ceres_Meiriona, please? Thank you for hosting this lottery, especially in your time of grief.

    Blessed Be.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing one of my cats, I was torn apart when one got really hurt from sneaking out of a cracked apartment window last summer and really screwing up her leg.

    When I first got her two years ago :)

    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my best friend 2 years ago... she was 15 years old, and had lived a great life. I know what you're going through; just know we are all here for you.

    I just got a puppy 2 days ago named Molly. I rescued her from a shelter. Here is a picture of her I took earlier today...

    btw you guys think I should include those that didn't post a picture? Kinda biased about it and not sure if it would be fair or not?

    You really pick the cutest names for pets, Hollena. Cricket and Bubbles, both just precious and adorable. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.. but you now have a sweet puppy you can give love to and help you with your grief.

    I haven't had a pet in a long time, but one day I will get a black pug just like Bubbles and Cricket. :)

    This picture is what started my love for pugs, and anyone who hasn't seen it before really needs to!

    For all those who have lost pets, I came across this shortly after I lost one of my own dogs and thought how so very true. If pets could talk and share their love this is what they would do, although it still makes me cry it also comforts me.

    (im not nominating myself or anyone else for this just posting a pic for you)

    editted to add ok so I have been nominated by someone else thank you skdluzak for the nomination
    Lucky enough to have had many generous friends so I own the Sims 3 store.

    I can normally be found lurking more now or in my bunker watching ads and attempting to kill wishlists :D
    I now have a sim story blog! It begins here https://chocchipniksimsblog.wordpress.com/current-story/getting-started/

    I lost my dog Biggen earlier this summer. He got sick and we had to put him down. It was one of the worst days of my life.
    I miss him everyday, but I have all these great memories to look back at <3
