Tonka

That's nice.  I'm thinking of doing something for Casey but with the Rainbow bridge poem in it.  Just haven't yet.

OMG Lori!!!  What a total surprise to see this today!  I haven't been on the computer all day until now, and I always check the Rainbow Bridge section to see if I can offer support to anyone.  Never did I expect that I'd find my own precious boy there, or that I'd shed tears just for me instead of for someone else.  I'm so happy to see Tonka's handsome face here finally -- as you know, it's taken me all year to bring myself to work on getting the few photos we have off my camera and to figure out how to email them.  Yes, I'm very technologically challenged, but it was more than that -- kind of an emotional obstacle, I guess.  You've done more with his photos than I could even imagine doing.  I can't thank you enough for paying tribute to him here on our behalf.  What a special gift for me on this sad Christmas weekend.  If I were there, I'd give you a big hug.  I'm very, very touched.  THANK YOU!  [sm=kiss.gif]

Oh Lori... that was so very thoughtful and sweet of you to do for Tracy!  [sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif] That's just perfect to print and put in a pretty frame!  And Tracy, what a handsome boy!  I never knew what Tonka looked like... what a loveable, sweet face he has!  Those eyes & wrinkles can just do me in, I'd love on him all day long.  I know you're missing him horribly right now.  I've been thinking of you, especially as the days grow closer to Christmas.  This was a wonderful tribute to Tonka - brought both tears and a smile from me - I can only imagine the warm feeling you had seeing it.

This is just beautiful and wonderfully kind of you to do, Lori.
 
It's nice to have images of big, handsome Tonka to go with the stories now!  What a big, beautiful lug of a dog he was, Tracy!  No wonder he filled your heart!
 
I've been feeling sad today - I had Pofi in for his annual and as we were leaving a couple came in - they were expected and everything about the timing (end of hours) and everyone's hushed tones and body language made it clear this couple was having to help the beautiful, but frail looking Ragdoll cat they were cuddling cross the bridge.  How terrible would that be the day before Christmas Eve.  I didn't even know them, but I walked out in tears.

Lori, that was wonderful of you..
 
Tracy, what a beautiful boy Tonka was...I don't think I've seen pictures of him before now...I can't stop looking at his wonderful face, and that slightly turned head, and that pose of him sitting...I totally understand the similarities now....
Our thoughts are with you over the holidays...
Talus sends you special hugs and loving smooches....
 

I love seeing Tonka, Tracy (thank you, Lori--your heart is so kind)! What a beautiful, deep-souled guy. Absolutely gorgeous. I bet you shed tears--I ran across a photo of my own heart dog, Kina (who died 3.5 years ago--sigh) and I cried, too. I miss her so badly sometimes, and I have two dogs with me now! She's never been replaced--nor has my relationship with her ended. It's just changed in its nature, and I find comfort in that knowledge.
 
I'm so glad to see photos of Tonka and in such a wonderful layout, too. Lori understands both our furbabies as much as she does our connection to them!
 
Merry Christmas to you both!
Nancy

And thanks, Lisa, for reminding all of us to open our hearts to others who are hurting (saying goodbye), too. Always a good thing to do. There really is room in our hearts for move love, acceptance, compassion, and sympathy.

I just felt Dancer wink. [sm=angel.gif]

Lori - What a wonderful and thoughtful thing that was for you to do.  You did a great job on it, but then Tonka's beautiful pictures made the job less difficult, I'm sure.

Tracy - My thoughts are with you and anyone else who's dealt with the loss of their fur friend this year.  This is a difficult time for anyone dealing with a loss and I only hope that all the beautiful memories make it less painful.

Tonka was so handsome!  Those velvet ears.   I 'm so glad to finally see him.  I too had this incredible need to show you all Hollys photo and cried when I could n't get it posted so I know how you feel.
 
Yes this was a very sad Christmas and I wish our babies could have made one time with us

Holly's mom--If you want you could e-mail me your pictures and I could do a page for Holly.  I'm fairly new to scrapbooking so I'm not as good as some people at it yet.
