I have only wonderful memories

He sits and begs; he gives a paw
He is, as you can see,
the finest dog you ever saw
and he belonged to me.


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Yes, I have a hard time even writing it. 11.5 wonderful years of our lives with the sweetest dog ever. Unconfirmed but from symptoms a brain tumor. His jaws locked up again. THe neurologist said a brain tumor or a Neuropathy. I cannot wait to get his ashes tomorrow. I miss him , we are all as you can imagine sad. There are waves of peacefulness however. Im still pretending he's here when I just have to.

I am all alone in my house, missing my dog. We put her down on Saturday. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

We put her in the back yard, where she can see the back door.

Oh my, this is hard. I recognize we have done the right thing, but it doesn't make us any less lonely. It freaks me out that no one's stretched out on the couch, that there's only floor tile where the bowls used to be, and it pisses me off that I still have dog hair to vacuum up but I have no dog to make it ok.

I'll be your dog-grief buddy.

Oh no, Kathy!!!! I'm crying as I type this. I'm so so so sorry. I wish I could be with you to give you a hug in person. I know Huck is in a better place and feeling fabulous - except his is sad that he isn't "with" you any more. He is still with you though, just in a different way.

Love and hugs from all of us!

Kathy, like all your other pretend friends, I am very sorry to hear the news. I remember the photo shortly after I 'met" you of Huck looking through your sock blockers.

We are all thinking of you.

Your loss is so heartbreaking. There is no magic easy way to lose a pet, but I'm sure you can take comfort in the knowledge that Huck loved you and you gave him an awesome life.

When I lost my dear cat Kilby a friend wrote to me the following quote,“I have this feeling there’s one more star up in the sky tonight. And even though it’s far away, its brightness and warmth still reach us here to make the night a little less dark”

Oh, I am so very sorry over the loss of your dear beautiful Huck! Losing a furry family member is never easy, and even though we sometimes have to make that final decision for them, it's one truely made from our hearts.

Please, during this time of grieving, please remember to take care of yourself. Take time to feel whatever it is that you are feeling, in that moment.

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

I am so sorry. I totally understand what you're feeling. My poor boy bloated on Wednesay - but I got him to the vet on time. g

Kathy B, somehow, I missed that Huck is gone. I am so sorry that you lost such a good friend. When Maggie died a few years ago, I told the vet that I always wished that I could be the kind of person my dog thought I was. I know that you know what I mean....Huck had the best life even on your bad days. So sorry.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
