I'm copying and pasting this a bunch of places, because I don't have the heart to type it out more than once. Kaylee is gone. We let her go this morning at 9:15. She was ready, even if I wasn't, and her needs were the most important thing. Kaylee began having seizures on 1/13/11. I'd...

Remembering our sweet Shadow - shadowsgin
January 21 is a day with mixed emotions for me. It was a bitterly cold day with snow on the ground. We had received the diagnosis of Lymphomia on Dec. 31. I had already prepared myself for that or one similar as our 4 year old, active, sweet Shadow had gone downhill in less than 2 months from the time...

My Sweet Boy Taz
I lost my sweet little Shih Tzu Taz last night to complications of IMHA. Two years ago I was working at home and saw a car on my dead-end road throw what I thought was a bag of garbage out.

I Lost a Part of My Heart a Year Ago
I lost a part of my heart a year ago today. I lost my heart girl a year ago today. I lost her physical presence. She's still with me in my heart. Some times I can even feel her and when I do, she's always beside me. I can feel her body, fur, ears and strength. I know she doesn't want...

3 Years Today :(
It's 3 years today my baby Princess passed away. I miss her everyday and it's still hard to see a rottie that looks like her. I wear my charm proudly everyday. Every year I let a balloon go in memory of my baby.

Not new news: Ringo and Marie (aDork)
I guess I've finally gotten around to posting here -- but this is actually older news. Some of it was happening right around the time of Aspen and Corky and the other losses, and I, for some reason, didn't want to add (or detract) from the better known and beloved members. Ringo was Misha's...

It's been a year...
It's been a year since my dog, Toby passed away due to advanced cancer and while Simba helped me cope with his loss I still miss him. I miss his big floopy ears, his gentle eyes and how much he loved to cuddle. I'm glad he's no longer in pain though. Miss you baby boy and love you lots!
