A very sad farewell

My dearest pal of 15 years left me yesterday. Her health began a serious decline last July, so I am grateful for the 11 remaining months we had together. In the spirit of all loving dogs, her enthusiam for each new day never wavered. She was a perpetual living lesson in optimism and I shall miss her dearly.

I'm sure you'll understand why another blogging break is in order.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Hugs. No words can ease the loss of so close a friend.
I am so thankful that my baby who found his way home so damaged healed beautifully & I can share his life with him.

Take as long as you need ~ we'll all be here when you can return.

So sorry for your loss of your beloved dog. I feel your pain as I had to do it a year ago and it still hurts.

So sorry about your puppy. Really. We went through this ourselves a couple of months ago with a 14 yr old cat of ours. She was my CONSTANT companion in the yard as we tried to restore our gardens after Hurricane Gustav. Without her I hardly have the heart to work in the yard anymore. So again, I'm sooooooo sorry for your loss.
