Guest gotgr8hnds Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I am so sorry for the loss of your 'Fiona in my footsteps'. You were both so courageous throughout her surgery and chemo treatments.They gave you more time together and that was such a blessing and a wonderful gift.You made lots of special memories throughout her life -- and, certainly, over this past year. I love your story about Fiona leaning against you and both of you listening to the cardinal singing.. . .and the way she followed you around and would look back to make sure you were always near her. Your tribute to her was beautiful. It included one of my favorite photos .....Your sweet girl is standing over her buddy, Bailey. When you told me he's been sleeping on her bed today........that touched my heart. I lit my Circle of Greyhounds candle a couple hours ago and it's burning brightly. I also rang the chimes on my screened-in porch........My ways of telling Fiona 'good-bye and I'll remember you'. The chimes sounded beautiful and I bet she could hear them clear up at the Bridge. Take good care of yourself, my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhead Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 We too lost one suddenly, when he was given ill-advised drugs for an investigative procedure. It's such a shock, and I'm deeply sorry for your loss. But it strikes me that she was in the best possible home for 10-1/2 years! What a blessing for you both. Take care, and know you were loved. Rest well, beautiful Fiona. Quote Mary with Jumper Jack (2/17/11) and angels Shane (PA's Busta Rime, 12/10/02 - 10/14/16) and Spencer (Dutch Laser, 11/25/00 - 3/29/13).

EllenEveBaz Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Recently, she would walk around the yard and come up to me to lean against my side. She would raise her head and seemed to be listening to the birds, especially a male cardinal whose beautiful song could be heard high up in the trees. She knew her time was drawing near, and wanted to share all her love with you and her beautiful world.

FiveRoooooers Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) M, I had to investigate the cardinal totem. This is what it says. Cardinal Medicine renews vitality in life and returns joy, brilliance and balance to the mind, body and spirit. He awakens spiritual transformations, intellectual insights and heightens intuitions and perceptions. Cardinal aids in manifesting dreams and ideas by focusing intentions where it's needed. He adds color and balance to life and demonstrates that everything you do is important. He aids in understanding and helping you find your own song in life. Are you doing what needs to be done or should be done? Pay attention to your diet. Are you eating balance meals; too much or not enough? Cardinal can teach moderation in all things and can help in finding a healthy balance of physical and spiritual. Do you have enthusiasm for a project or idea? Are you voicing your ideas? Are you listening carefully to others and your surroundings. When you listen to Cardinal's lessons, he will teach you strength in creativity and productivity with discernment and balance. Listen He returns joy, brilliance and balance ... Everything you do is important. Edited May 7, 2014 by FiveRoooooers Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

Fiona3 Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thank you to everyone for the comforting and beautiful words about Fiona. She was such a gentle, sweet soul. Her absence is keenly felt. She never wanted anything more than to be with her family in the home where she knew she was loved. Jan, the words of the Cardinal totem are moving and so appropriate. Thank you for finding this. When I hear the cardinal singing outside it brings a sense of peace. A few weeks ago I ordered a special daylily plant for my memory garden to remind me of my beautiful moments in the yard with Fiona and the Cardinal. I had no idea that Fiona's time left with us was so short. Yesterday I opened the door and there was a box with "Early Bird Cardinal Daylily" sitting on the porch where it had been delivered. Perhaps my sweet girl has sent me the sign that she will be listening with me as our Cardinal sings.
