dante2zoe Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Aww, she was making sure all would be well for her sisters as she went to check on her dad. He needed her more than the girls did now. I am so sorry. Dottie B, make sure you send a sign, your "placeholder" could use one! I wonder if there are any hydrangea day lillies out there? Hugs.

FiveRoooooers Posted October 20, 2018 Author Share Posted October 20, 2018 Thank you for loving so many, so well. The newcomer party at the Bridge is crowded this month. Seamie must be busy chefing for his friends. Thank you so very much. Dottie B was such a grand old lady. She was a small-ish greyhound but even with five campers the house now feels so big without her. Thank you ALL so much for your messages and support, it means volumes.

DesiRayMom Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Ms Jan, it has been said that every soul you have loved & lost leaves a bit of themselves in our hearts. Good woman, your heart must be so big by now, I don't know how you breathe.... I'm sure DottieB has assured her original dad that the other girls are in a fine place & no need to worry. Oh, that when my time comes, I could be in such a fine, loving place. Happy Trails, DottieB, CampGreyhound was a fine place to end your bucket list.

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...

queenwinniesmom Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Oh, Jan, I'm so sorry you lost your precious Dottie. Your beautiful tribute and pictures brought tears to my eyes. And I thought of one word---perfection. How perfect that they all ended up in your wonderful family. What a perfect life she had with you, and what a perfectly peaceful and gentle and compassionate way to say goodbye. I'm so sorry your time together couldn't have lasted longer, but a perfect love isn't measured in time. Sending hugs and much sympathy.

brandimom Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I am not on GT much but I knew I had to come to this forum. As always your tribute's to your pack are heart warming and melt our hearts. I am so sorry that your time with Dottie B was short but thankful she had the best home after she lost her other guardian. Can't begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear this. Your heart and soul has always been filled with love for your "campers". All the "campers" are blessed to be with you and I am truly blessed to have you as a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
