    Oh honey, I'm so sorry. (((((((Amanda and hubby)))))) It's so hard to let them go. Your tribute to her is beautiful and she will never be far from you. She may have taken a piece of your heart but she gave you wonderful memories in return.

    So sorry - it never gets easy, but enjoy the memories of better times.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Amanda, I'm sorry. We cried too, loud and hard, when we lost the Beeper. I'm glad you two had the chance to love Maggie the way you did. It's good stuff, but it's so hard at the same time.

    I'm sorry for your loss... it sucks that our pets' lives are so comparatively short.
    I can do five more miles.

    I'm so sorry. I was just enjoying those pictures of her among the bluebonnets last week. It's so great that you and DH gave her such a wonderful life. She knew she was loved.

    I didn't follow your other threads but when I saw the title I clicked on it and as I read I also teared up.

    I have rescued many animals and I really had to think of my last one taking in a 4 year old st. bernard. I thought if we have him 5 years that will be a long time for him.

    All Gods creatures are beautiful! Sorry to hear of your loss.

    You did a wonderful job.
    It's terribly hard, but feel happy about how you showered her life with love and care. She was indeed a lucky doggie!

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Do you know the song, Gulf Coast Highway? This song is one of my favourite love songs, though very sad in some ways. Whenever I put it on the stereo I want to cry, because it speaks of a huge huge love... and so simply and honestly.

    In a round-about way, it makes me think of you and Maggie-Bear too... Here's some excerpts from the song/lyrics

    Hugs for you at this sad, sad, time, but also happy Maggie and Heidi had such a stunning bluebonnet weekend which enabled these lovely pix, and you can remember her as happy. Hugs for Heidi too



    She walked through springtime when I was home
    The days were sweet, our nights were warm
    ---
    And when she dies she says she'll catch some blackbird's wing
    And she will fly away to heaven
    Come some sweet blue bonnet spring
    ---
    We kept our garden, we set the sun
    This is the only place on Earth blue bonnets grow
    And once a year they come and go
    At this old house here by the road

    I'm so sorry. She had a wonderful life, and your dedicated love and care gave her a little extra. Thanks for sharing her story and her pictures with us. I hope happy memories ease some of the pain for you.
