  1. I did not receive that email you mention and I do not have a spam filter thus had the email been sent there's no reason I would not have received it. I find it amusing that you did not post this topic BEFORE the expiration date to give everyone who was a GT Supporter a friendly reminder instead of relying on an email service that obviously did not work and then posting this topic AFTER the expiration date. Edited: I just made my donation, funny how that automatic email confirmation came through without a problem. I also don't get why some people's member number has been lowered ... guess it's a status thing.

    Our Boy Rowdy

    Lois my deepest condolences to you and your family on Rowdy's passing. Weep not for me though I am gone Into that gentle night. Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my soul's sweet flight. I am at peace, my soul's at rest, There is no need for tears. For with your love I was so blessed For all those many years. There is no pain, I suffer not, The fear now all is gone. Put now these things out of your thoughts, In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath, Remember not the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death, But celebrate my life. by Constance Jenkins
  3. I do not have medical insurance for my dogs, but might look into Pet Healthcare Insurance through AAA that a friend was telling me about:
  4. Did some pins (that were there from before) get moved a tad? Mine was off track from where I had originally placed it so I moved it back where it belongs. The whole of Delaware is dotted in pins yet seems many are actually members from NJ or PA. Perhaps their pins got off track as well?
  5. Deepest condolences. Hang on to memories of Marvin, he will remain forever in your heart and soul. Sarah edited due to typo
  6. Spare bedroom (full-size bed) in northern Delaware available. Also have a queen-size air bed that can be put into use. Large fenced rear yard, quiet & safe neighborhood, 1/2 hour from Philadelphia. Oh, I do have 1 cat so cat-safe dogs only, please!!
  7. My sincere condolences on Matt's tragic passing. He was a special longdog who will forever remain in your heart. Sarah
  8. In my last month of being 32 ... March 13 is approaching too fast
  9. Thank you all very much, it was such a hard day to get through. Ailish was my heartdog, no question about that. http://www.greytalk.com/~forums/index.php?showtopic=86376
  10. That is such a wonderful sentiment, thank you.
  11. I am so wracked with pain and the crying is uncontrollable. It was at this very time last year, February 12, 2004 that I spent that final hour with Ailish here at home saying goodbye before we went to the vet's. Hugging onto her, crying, telling her how much I loved her and what a brave girl she was, and in between the tears I took a few final photos of her. This was one of those photos ... Ailish, I miss you terribly and love you so much
  12. Thanks, Beth, I truly appreciate all you did to help me while Ailish battled the cancer and for being there that dreadful night when it was time to let her go ...
  13. It's almost been a year since my dear, sweet Ailish passed away (February 12, 2004). I have been thinking about her more than usual in this week leading up to that sad day and wanted to post something about her now before I become more of a basket case. I just went back and read all the posts about her, from during her illness right on to when she passed away. I want to say thank you again to everyone who was there for me during those difficult times, it meant a lot to me. I just finished reading this thread (click) and when it came to Beth's post giving the news that Ailish had passed all that pain and sorrow from that night slammed me hard and I cried as though it was only yesterday. There are some photos of Ailish I took that night shortly before it was time to let her go. Months later I had them developed but have not been able to bring myself to look at them. On February 12 I will, and if I can I will post them here. I want to share this thread (click)with you, it's what I wrote in memory of Ailish the day after she lost her courageous battle against osteosarcoma. Ailish, my angel, you are always in my heart and in my thoughts, a piece of you lives on inside of me. I love you and I miss you with all of my heart. Be happy and well now. You will never be forgotten.

  15. Ailish from the moment I met you and saw how awful life was for you back then, I promised I would love and care for you always and never allow you to be hurt or scared again. With a lot of love you learned to trust me and our bond was unbreakable. You were such a beautiful, loving girl. You never complained about anything although many things scared you due to the life you lived before I took you in. That's okay, I understood your fears and helped you through them. You were such a happy girl. I always took delight in watching you run, it was more of a prance; so regal, it would make me smile and give you big hugs. You had this funny grin you would get on your face when you were happy. You would do silly things that always made me laugh. Last summer all this joy came to an end when you were diagnosed with osteosarcoma in a rear leg. You were not ready to go yet, you still wanted to live. After consulting with the vets and not wanting you to be in pain it was decided to amputate the leg. This was a very hard time for both of us, but together we made it through. Soon enough you learned that walking on three legs was not such a bad thing and not too longer after that you were running around chasing squirrels, acting like not a thing was wrong. Your spirit was still there, strong as ever. We had a few good months until October came and you were telling me something was not right. The vet took x-rays and discovered very faint glimpses of cancer starting to invade your lungs. You were not ready to leave yet, and the vet said your quality of life was still good. You were not having any difficulty breathing at that time. Time went on, we made it to Christmas and that was a miracle. You took to my bed and there we would sleep, side-by-side. You would greet me at the door when I came home, with a wag of your tail, looking at me right in the eyes, and a big grin on your face. I loved you so much, Ailish, and treasured the moments we had. You were so brave. You began to have some difficulty breathing, but it was not frequent until the other night. I awoke with you several times through the night, you were having difficulty breathing, and when you a breathing attack I would hold you close, petting you gently and talking to you soothingly. The look you gave me told me the time was coming soon when you would be ready to say goodbye. Thursday we went to the vet, she listened to your breathing, took a chest xray, and came back with the news that the cancer had metastasized throughout your lungs. The time had come to say goodbye. I could not let you go then and there, and Dr. Strine understood. We went home and I just held onto you, petting you and talking to you and assured you it was not going to hurt. Beth came over a little after 7 pm and we went to Dr. Beach. You were scared and I did my very best to comfort you. I sat on the floor with you on your blanket. Once you received the injection and it started to take effect, you rested your head on my lap and passed away. It was all very peaceful, you left this world with dignity. Ailish, you will remain in my heart and soul forever. I love you more than I can even begin to describe and I miss you terribly. Run free my beloved Ailish... Ailish pictures
  16. I just recived word that Murphy, my oldest brother's golden retriever that he has had since puppyhood, had to be put down. He was almost 14, all of a sudden his back legs started dragging, his head was tilited and he could barely get around. He leaves behind his 4 "charges" he faithfully watched over through the years (my brothers 4 children) and will be sadly missed by all. Run free, Murphy ...
