jayla sent me a black feather, she said it was yours. i miss you handsome prince, play hard

[joycenalex]

i smile, mostly, when i speak of you. eileen tells me she has dreamed of you; you're running fast and happy in fields with purple and golden flowers at the edge of the meadow, i never told a human about that day, that perfect fall day so long ago, did you have that day again as you slipped away? i took peanut for a walk today, she dances when i pick up the leash. you and duke don't need a leash. i miss you and how can it already be six months? love your humom

[joycenalex]

we renewed peanuts' dog tags on line, she has another franklin county dog tag on her collar, more bling for the spokesdog for the cat pack. your collar and leash hang by the side door, your tags are in the computer room , near you and duke. i cannot bear to check the box that says no longer have dog.
maybe i'll get another set of tags, and lay them near you. i miss you alex

[cyber-sibes]

(((hugs))) I know how you feel, I hated having to check that box when Rosie, and then Sherman, were gone. Getting a new set of tags sounds like a great idea, just because!

[Sudilar]

Hugs.
About a year or so after Shiloh died, I got a notice to renew her license. Needless to say, I was devastated.

[joycenalex]

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
you made me a better human by being a wonder dog. i would not have missed anything but the last two hours. i miss you

Thinking of you.

[finn's mom]

I don't think I ever saw this thread. Joyce, your comments about Alex bring peace into my heart, simply because of the love that is so apparent. Thank you for sharing your heart with us the way you have. I still miss my boy, Bruno, lost to the physical world in the summer of 2003. He made me smile constantly. Still does, although sometimes it is through tears.

i was looking out into the yard, and i knew you'd love this snow. just 2 weeks before you left we'd had a blizzard and you were a reverse dalmation, i loved the picture i posted of you on PT, chest deep in the center of the yard...you loved the snow, there must have been a northern breed in your family tree, anytime i was out shoveling, you were ready to go out with me. i miss you.

[Karen]

Aww, isn't it funny what little things remind us of the ones we have lost?

I am sure there are large snow fields up at the Rainbow Bridge, I bet a certain Saint Bernard is happily perched on a snowbank at this moment - maybe she's supervising Alex as he plays!
