Guest Snowy8 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Here's a picture of baby Skittle & her brother when Devon first rescued them. Look at them little freckles...Even as a baby girl she had that attitude look on her face like: Dis cowch is mine brudder...you can look but dunt get comfortable. The pink princess even at a young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onrushpam Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 All the pups at the bridge must've been bored and needing a pink princess to liven up the place! I'm betting Loriann and Bart have already had their ears cleaned! I'm gonna really miss the Skittle stories! Many hugs to Devon and Amber!

Guest Zophia Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I am in shock with you! I haven't been around for a little while, and I come back to see this. I am so very, truly sorry. Skittle was one of my favorite pups on here. Gods, this is so not fair!! I hope, with time, your heart may begin to mend. Many, many hugs to you and Amber, and your other pooches, too.

Guest Mommydog Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Typing this with tears in my eyes. I am so, so sorry DeVon. When I first joined GT, out of all the lovely hounds here, it was Skittle and Lori Ann who stuck out in my mind, to me they were synonymous with Greytalk. Please know you never ever failed her, you did your utmost for her, and she had the best most loving home any dog could ever wish for. I, and I'm sure many others will never ever forget her. Godspeed sweet Skittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirocco_Nikki Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Skittle. Fruitbat. Princess of Pinkiness. Skittle Diddle Knick Knack. The Albino Fruitbat. Kung-Fu Skittle. Junior partner of the law firm "Froelinger & Fruitbat". You made so many of us smile with your sweetness and unique style. Could anyone ever wear double strand pearls nearly as well as you? I think not. You also gave us so much wonderful advice on the best techniques for counter surfing, mud baths, make up, lap warming, self-defense from terriorists, snuggles and ear cleaning. Please send your mom and sister a sign soon that you are ok (but make it a REALLY good one).

Guest gapeach1 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Sending sincere sympathy for your loss. Thank your commitment and love for Skittle. You will be together once again, when the time is right, and she will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge. Until then, take comfort that she is with all of our beloved cherished houndies that had to leave many of us way too soon. I know my two bridge angels, Tony and Jack will look out for your sweet girl, Skittle. GAPeach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lori Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 DeVon, you made such a good home for Skittle. Even if someone else had taken her in, who would have given her the love you gave her? She needed to be with other dogs but have her special shy needs accomodated, too, which you did. And Amber and your grandkids being so good with her, knowing she was shy. You gave her LOVE, kitty and doggy ears to clean, frankentoes to nurse, a big bed with lots of friends to cuddle with. She was loved by many here and admired by scores of people. I know your heart is breaking and you will miss her, I'm so sorry. I'm so glad I got to know her. Godspeed, sweet Skittle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxAndMazy Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm crying with you. I'm positive Lori Anne has already had her ears cleaned by Ms. Skittle. You didn't fail her DeVon - you loved her with all your heart and soul and she knew that. Sending hugs to you and Amber, Nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GreyFox Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 DeVon, I'm so sorry. You absolutely did not fail Skittle ... you gave her a loving home from the beginning and were with her when she took her last breath. You were a devoted friend to her.

iluvgreys Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I'm so very sorry DeVon. Skittles knows she was a cherished family member and your very special girlie. There'll never be another pupper like her. I'm sure Lori Ann was right there to welcome her to the Bridge with roos and play bows. May you find peace with your loss of such a bright spirit.
