  I Still Love and Miss You... Reply Contact To my sweet heart dog of a lifetime... Dancer, I can't believe it's three years that you have been gone.  But, now I know why you left - it was to get things ready in the spirit land so you could continue your job of taking care of Daddy Mike, who loved you here as much as I did.  You will always be our wonder dog until we are all reunited.   Love you, Miss Dance.

You can appreciate this - Dancer crossed over on the 4th of October, and Sequoyah's birthday is the 5th.  I always smile when I think that Dancer must have picked the pup for me for that reason, so that each year I could only stay really sad for a day before I had to celebrate something else...   Regional Director for Massachusetts, International Positive Dog Training Association Director, SeniorCare Pawsitive Connections Program AKC CGC Evaluator #3669 Therapy Dogs, Inc.

  Re: I Still Love and Miss You... Reply Contact I'm so glad we have this place to remember our beloved pets. How much are our lives enriched by these gracious and wonderful creatures? I don't know how to measure that and it probably can't be measured, and just as well that it is so. Some things defy quantification and that is the way it ought to be. I still think of my cat, Misty, from time to time. And I see the future when it will be time to release Shadow, then Jade. And that makes the time I have with them now as precious as it can be. Lots of love to Dancer and I know, to a certainty within myself, that she is having a grand ole time that will be that much better when, so many decades from now, you will be at the Bridge with her. And I know you can see her, even now. Not very scientific of me. Oh well, I put socks on, one at a time, as well. The way you treat your dog in this life determines your place in heaven. - chukchi proverb

I believe that this is absolutely true! I lost my aussie on June 4, 2003.  Bevo was born on the same day.  Every year it's a happy & sad day.  I'm sad that I lost Sandee that day, but I am so happy that Bev was born.

  Re: I Still Love and Miss You... Reply Contact I think it is human nature to assign meaning and relevance to events in our lives - even if there is none. When I found Buddy on Petfinders, I felt a little guilty even considering a new dog after having lost Kobi. When I read his history however, I noticed he had entered the shelter the same day my sweet Kobi left us. I took it as a sign that we were destined for each other.
