becka

did they give you any news?

I didn't read any of the posts b/c after I clicked I saw this was 'remberance' but I wanted to say... I LOVE that pic!!! It's so cute and if Opal was anything in life like she is in the pic, I'm sure you will miss her greatly.

wait a minute!! I was on a little after 3, got all excited, tried to reply to a post and it was down again!!! You're not just teasing us again are ya?

I have no words....

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to post pics...but I just lost Sable 10/20 to mega-esophagus (she's my avatar) and I lost Spade (in my siggy) 2/23/03 after just having him 9 months. It still pains me to think about him. At least I know he was there to greet Sable when her time came. Spade was only 7 and Sable was almost 9. Spade just turned 7 on 2/11/03 and Sable would have been 9 Nov 14. I had another dream with him in it last night. Weird I dreamt about him and Jack, but not my current Spade. strange.

so what are the questions?

I've done the card exchange

They do have a way of stealing your heart don't they? Spade stole mine when I just went to look too! Run free Bomber!! You're momma will be ready for you when it' time for you to come back....

All our wonderful pups are at the Bridge to greet Lexie... she will be missed...

Spade was there to greet her and they are both happy and whole and pain free...run free babies...

you guys are making me cry. I think my cat has come back to me in my chow Sable. Until I got Sable I could 'see' Pretty Baby at times. He died in 88 and Sable was born in 96. I never did see or feel Spade after he died. I knew it was time for him to go as he told me. Up until that day he would still run and play and never complained about anything. The day he passed he cried everytime he moved. I miss my baby.....

Spades ashes came in a nice wooden box. I really like it. It is simple and blends in well with the ET center he sits on. Just like him. He was a simple dog and blended in with his dog bed. He would always steal my TY Beanie Buddie Elephphant so that sits on top of the box and around the elephants neck is his collar and his necklace that Becky made for him. Next to him is a greyhound brass statue my mom got for me (from him) for my birthday.

that was beautiful...didn't even get through the first sentence and I started to cry.

aw...

I am so sorry for your loss.

aw, run free Kiowa Ace.... run baby

aw, Deb I feel your pain. Tomorrow will be a year for Spade and it just doesn't seem like that long ago. I sometimes still expect to see him jumping when I get home Hugs to you

I lost Spade Feb 23 and got Sophie and Rocco March 8. They were already on their way to me when I had to let Spade go. I still have Sophie but Rocco has gone to another home. I am glad they were on their way to me and I got them when I did. It was really rough coming home to nothing and then all of a sudden I came home to TWO dogs happy to see me. It was nice. I still cry and miss Spade, no dog will be able to replace him.

what a beautiful horse! How awful that her life was cut short by some awful spiteful person!

Thanks everyone. I thought I was doing pretty good. I went 2 days with out crying once. Then last night I lost it all over again. I picked up a roll of film today that was nothing but him. All but 4 out of 25 pics were him. He really started to come out of his shell. I have one with his ears perked up and he looks like a pig!! Honestly! I will scan them and put up the web address sometimes this week. And there is one of him with his nose all the way in my cow slippers. All you see is Spade's eyes, and the cow's head. It is too funny! Thanks for all the kind words, you have no idea how much I appreciate them.

aw I am so sorry to hear about Brian... run free and safe baby!
