I wanted to thank everyone for all the it's been a long hard 24 hrs, but we did have a beautiful day today. 73 degrees with a little gusty wind so the kids wanted to fly their kites. We went out until dark just to get out of the house and have a little fun... Did good for the 2 youngest, me and the oldest still feel the loss, but I know she wouldn't want us to be sad.
CD - I really do believe she's with our other lost babies. Just a mental picture that came when I needed it most. I like to think it is really true.
LB - She was definitely loved. Britt wouldn't eat anything yesterday and cried so hard I got worried enough to let her sleep with me. She was a little better this morning but she'll be fine.
TJ - We are defintely celebrating this weekend. We have a natural museum in Lincoln NE we all want to go to I think that's what we'll do to go somewhere new and help her have a good memory for her birthday weekend. She may even get to have a friend stay over that may help too. I plan on doing a lot to help her have a good time.
LW - thanks so much for the prayers. I love the one saying you had until someone has loved an animal, their soul remains unawakened. I've seen that on posters over the years and it is so true. Thank you!
Green - I know exactly what you mean, one comforting thought is they'll be waiting for me once its my time. I still can't get a dog after losing mine at age 11. He was 16 at the time. She was definitely loved. Its been hard but we're doing better.
Maddie - Thank you, I know it never gets easier does it. There will definitely be a big hole in our lives. It was really hard today when she didn't great us at the door.
Eb - I know my middle one has dragged her around for years. I believe her to have had some ragdoll breed in her she always just hung from her arms but as she got sicker I had to keep telling her she couldn't tote her around like she use to. At least she was kinder to her this past year shows she's finally growing up.
GM - Thank you I know she has to be happier and keep remembering the movie all dogs go to heaven and know kitty cats do too. I know deep down she wouldn't want us to be sad. I'm so lucky I got one more night with her and slept all night with her that night. At one point during the night I woke up and her little head was on my shoulder just like the kids do. I truly believe she saw me as mommy too. strange I know but her and Twinkle will meow and I swear it sounds like Mahmom. I answer like I do with the kids--what? Twinkle is real good at it.
Springie - Thank you so much, it is devastating but we've at least had months to get use to the idea even though there was that imbeded hope that she would get all better. I knew deep down it was only getting worse not better. Thank you I like to think she was lucky. Especially when the my Ex's wife almost gave her a way at one point. So glad she got her back and so I could get her back. So glad I did not long after that we found she had Diabetes in 2008. Missed not only my babies but my girls (the kitties) while I was in Korea.
I really do appreciate everyones kind words. Thank you so much for understanding and being there for me.
to all
