Thank you so much for thinking of me WR. I think of you often when I'm missing my sweet boy. It will be six weeks on Tuesday since he passed and the tears still keep flowing. My heart aches for him. His last moments keep playing over in my mind and I wonder if there was something more we could have done for him. After the holidays we will be meeting with his vet to talk about what happened and maybe find out what might have taken him from us.

What a lovely gift from your sister!! I'm glad you have someone IRL that recognizes your grief and understands how special your Maggie was. My DD had pajama pants made for me and my H with our dogs picture on them. She had them made before he died. My sister had an ornament made for us. It has a picture of us facing our backs and all our pups that have passed sitting beside us. Our Bostie has his head turned around which is something he used to do. She didn't ask for the picture to be made that way. Above our heads it says we miss you. Above the dogs heads it says we are waiting for you at rainbow bridge. I don't normally like cheesy stuff like that but I have to admit I cried like a baby when I opened that ornament.

When we were having our Christmas breakfast a few black hairs appeared on the table. Our other dog is tan as are my DD's dogs. I keep a very clean house so it really brought a smile and a tear to see his hair appear. He had short hair and didn't shed much and I haven't seen any hair since.

Our other dog is doing a little better. He is eating better but still not quite himself. He did everything with his buddy and followed him around all day. I have been giving him lots of attention and walks and he has been spending time with DD's dogs when possible.

My H would like to explore the possibility of getting another dog in the spring but I just can't do it. When our last dog died I wanted another one right away. This time I just can't.

For anyone that is still reading, my DD's dog could use some prayers or good thoughts. He has had cancer for a year and had to have his leg amputated. Over the last few months more cancerous tumors have popped up and the current chemo does not seem to be working. He is not sick or in pain but things are not going in a good direction. On top of that, DD is going through some difficulties herself.

WR, I hope our sadness lifts soon and we can smile and enjoy the beautiful memories of our dear little buddies. ❤

Sending mojo to your DD and her pup. (And I also become a sentimental mush ball when it comes to my critters. I have framed photos of all the pets who have passed as a gallery wall. I love it so much).

Thank you BB. DD was still living at home when we got our boy that just passed. She helped pick out his breed, went with my H to pick him up and she named him. We are also attached to her little guy so I'm dreading the eventual outcome for us all.

Your gallery wall sounds awesome. ❤
