Marvelous Madeline

Not only is Madeline's personality wonderful, but so is the tale that her person tells. It gave me shivers reading it. There is a special bond there that few people get to experience. Reading this story felt like a parallel to Mine and King's. So much love is expressed through this person's words. If not the words themselves, it's what's in between the black and white that shines through.

I REALLY enjoyed reading this entry. I'm so glad it was submitted and chosen.

:) Not only did Maddie get to be dog of the day, so did Elsa

I just wanted to tell you that Madeline's story really touched my heart. You truly have an incredible bond with your dogs. I hope Madeline is with you for many many more years and keeps you smiling and reminding you of your great Elsa. She sounded like such a special girl and I know you miss her.

I had tears in my eyes reading your story about Maddy and Elsa.
The GSD breed is like no other. (me... bias?? :o )

Like Crow said... Not only did Maddy get to be today's dog of the day, so did Elsa!!

Congrats to you all today!!!

Madeline.....You are so beautiful. I enjoyed reading about your two
dogs. Dogs are amazing. They give so much love. I could not live with out mine. They are so much company. They are a part of your family.

We join in with the others here this morning to say how heartwarming and wonderful your story is, gorgeous girl. Your Dad has a bond with his pets that is what we all hope to see in every pet owner we meet. You can never replace Elsa, Maddy, but we know you're creating your own special place in Dad's heart. We are taken aback with how cute you are. We would love to see Dad join Pet Talk so we can see more of you. Congratulations on your big day sweetheart!!! Please tell Dad to give you some kisses and hugs from us and we wish you all continuous happiness!! :D :D :D :D :D

Enjoy your day, Maddy!

To the Dad of Madeline. Yours is one of the most touching tributes I ever read here on Pet Talk:) I'm moved to tears, reading of the unconditional love you hold in your heart for your beloved Elsa, your dog of a lifetime. Every human should be so blessed, to know the love and devotion of a dog like Elsa! And now Maddy has entered your life, and while she will never replace Elsa, it's clear you and she have already begun to forge a very special bond of trust and love, that this precious little girl has already carved out her very own place in your heart. And I have no doubt that your beloved Elsa is looking over you both from the Rainbow Bridge, so proud to know that both she and Maddy are being honored here today. Her legacy of unconditional love lives on through Maddy!:) Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful girls, your cherished memories, with us all! I wish for you and Maddy a lifetime of love and devoted companionship. Much love and lots of hugs to your beautiful baby girl, Maddy. And Maddy, that's one very special dad you've got there!:)

Thank you for your eloquent words, Maddy's daddy!!!! Sounds like you have those wonderful qualities of a GSD, too! I can almost see Elsa's pride from the Rainbow Bridge as she watches over you and your new family. Congratulations on DOTD, sweet Madeline! You, precious little one, are showing us all how to live life with exuberance and grace! :)
