Aerosmom Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Run free Winnie. She was an inspiration to us when Snickers was faced with an osteo diagnosis. Maybe they have met at the bridge and are running and playing together.

Guest Carla Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Oh Nancy, What a trooper your Queen Winnie was. Thank you for all you did for your sweet girl. Please accept my sincere heartfelt condolences. Winnie will always be with you in spirit.

Guest MomoftheFuzzy Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Laying in the grass on a beautiful day, she looked at me and told me she was so very tired, and that she was ready to go. Oh Nancy! I am so sorry for this loss. Queen Winnie was one of a kind. Such a beautiful, strong, spirit. I am so sad. This part of your post above really got to me. Nancy, I'm so sorry for you and Doug. Winnie put up such a good fight and she couldn't have done it with better human beings. I regret that I'm not going to Dewey this year but next time I see you, I owe you both many big hugs. The only consolation I can think of is that Winnie is with her King Gino now. I'm so sorry again. I can't stop crying because it seems like, no matter when they leave us or no matter they may fight like Winnie did, they always leave us too soon. Hugs to you guys both.

HopeForHounds Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Nancy, Queen Winnie is my hero. A girl who had so much personality, beauty and fight. We will never forget her and the Hope she has given so many facing this horrible disease. It's going to take me a few days to change her page on HfH I can never find it in myself to do it right away, so those who want to will find her story here at least until the weekend.

queenwinniesmom Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thank-you so much to everyone for your kind words. It truly helps, because I know that you understand. And I think it would please her to know that she was such an inspiration. Of course, she would probably just feel that she did what she had to do. Janet, thanks for linking to her story. I somehow can't post pictures here, and now everyone can see how beautiful she was. Oh, Chrissy, I thought of Gino yesterday, when I looked into Winnie's eyes. Though they certainly never would be flashy about it, they are truly Rainbow Bridge royalty. Miss you---wish you were coming to Dewey too! I'll post Winnie's poem in a separate thread.

But to know she is at peace, well it's the same kind of way I had to think when Gino went to the Bridge. This is so difficult. I'm so sorry again. I can't wait to see you guys and Erica and Dave again soon. Please hang in there. I will be thinking of you still and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Godspeed sweet angel, the heavens are a brighter place. She really was a hero wasn't she? I knew Miss Winnie for awhile but, once she lost her leg, everytime I saw her, she seemed even stronger. She was such a fighter. I was so happy that she had two wonderful humans to guide her and love her. Much like how Foxy has a wonderful human being to guide her too. I think that's a huge part of what keeps these girls so strong in spirit. Edited October 3, 2007 by MomoftheFuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
