rascalsmom Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Today is Loca's (aka Reko Swahili) gotcha day. I know this, because my husband and I were part of the GUR that brought Loca to Robin (robinw)...we were the ones who met up with Robin for the hand-off. It was a real honor--our first time as part of a GUR. In spite of Loca trying to do serious harm to one of my cats , she spent a very memorable night at our house. She actually slept on TOP of me, on the couch. I knew Robin was in for some....uh, 'fun' times, and it proved to be true. Anyway, I wanted to remember sweet little Loca today, on the day she went HOME. Robin on left, me on right. Quote Phoebe (Belle's Sweetpea) adopted 9/2/13.

robinw Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Thank you so much, Melissa. She's been gone for 2.5 years now, and most GTers are probably unfamiliar with her, but I miss that girl so much! I will never, ever forget her homecoming, from tossing my car keys in the trash at a rest area with her in the car, to the numerous times she tried to eat my car.

greytpups Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That brings back so many memories...I miss that muzzle rubbing underneath my coat. At play group you never had to look down, you always knew immediately who was rubbing up against you. Quote Jan with precious pups Emmy (Stormin J Flag) and Simon (Nitro Si) and Abbey Field.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximum Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That brings back so many memories...I miss that muzzle rubbing underneath my coat. At play group you never had to look down, you always knew immediately who was rubbing up against you. Loca is the reason some guys seriously started considering wearing their jocks to playgroup! She got in some serious whacks to a few of the guys Silly, crazy, most unforgettable girl! This is one of my favourite pics of Loca- I love how it looks like she is running on top of the shadow of the fence - it's just her; impossible, breathtaking and always unpredictable!
