maximum Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) I am so sorry for your loss of Mattie. I had not seen your post in Health - I just went and read it, and I am tears, for you, for Mattie, for your DH and for the difficult journey you travelled together. You did right by your girl, she loves you, now and forever. She is very beautiful and her life with you and your DH, John was filled with joy and love. She and you were blessed to have had each other. Thank you for sharing her with us. I hope you'll be to share other happy memories you have with us. :f_pink :f_pink Edited February 24, 2008 by maximum Quote My boys, together again...

Saffron Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful dog. Fly free sweet Mattie. Free of pain, thanks to a wonderful Mom who knew when it was time to let you go, and made that incredibly hard, sad, compassionate and loving decision. I hope that some day, but only when you are ready, you will be able to share that love with another dog. The world needs loving adopters like you.
