Foxy Jean

[Dorothy39]

Here is a picture of my dog, Foxy Jean, who passed away on Dec. 22nd, 2005.

I am really having a hard time , adapting to her absense in this house. She was by my side constantly.

I need to share her with all of you at Pet Talk.

Thank-you for your kind response, I owe each and every one of you my graditude for helping me cope with her death.

Dot,Foxy Jean has those eyes that are so deep that when you look at her you can see into her soul.Doggies with eyes like Foxys are so loving.I bet she would get up close to your face and stare at you.Theres something about a doggie with those deep brown eyes.
I wanted to tell you all that this day has been alot better on Diane and myself and we owe it to you guys here.The things you share and the loving words have got us off the bed and comb our hair.....


Thank you ,,,,, Bob+Diane

Foxy Jean was such a sweet looking dog.I too know how empty life
seems after the loss of our dearest furry friends. Almost unbearable.
I believe that's why God sees to it that another dog comes along that
needs us as much as we do them.

Yes.

Foxy Jean did stare at me, expecially when I woke up in the morning. She would gently use her front paw to wake me up, I knew she had her face real close to me then. If I did not open my eyes, she would lay back down, but heaven forbid if I did open my eyes!! ha ha ha!!! Dig, Dig, Dig, lick, lick, lick!!!!

She talked to me with her own sounds. There was no way to avoid giving into her demands. She was with me all the time and, now I look for her in every room . I would look at her and ask her, "What do you want"? then she would do a bark instead of that low "woof" Oh my Lord, that dog had such a beautiful personality.

She so behaved like Toto, you know, that terrier on The Wizard of Oz.

Thanks-To all of you --I can begin to say her name outloud again.

Thanks to all of you, I can face tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow.

Foxy Jean was a gorgeous girl!!!!! What adoring love you can see in her eyes! Remember all the good times you had with her and smile, through your tears. Is there some thing that Foxy Jean used to do that was cute or funny that you can share with us? Hugs.

I tried to learn how to play a harmonica when my two dogs were with me.

I did learn how to play one song, amid their howling.

From time to time, I would get the harmonica out and faintly play a single note. Foxy Jean would tip her head back, ever so slightly, and woo me with a very high pitched , soothing howl.

She knew where the treats and dog chewies were kept. (inthe the cupboard under the sink) When I was not giving her the attention she wanted, she would insist that I give her something by trotting up to the cupboard and slamming her front legs against it. I wasn't surprised when she learned how to open it by herself and get things on her own.

She also reacted to the sound of a barking dog on the television, as well as sirens, babies laughing or crying, or adults crying. My husband had to say, It's aT.V. dog before she would stop barking. She often put her front feet on the television screen in reaction to a children's program, cocking her head.

Thank-You for encouraging me to relive these pleasent memories again. I am still in shock , and it has been 6 months since she left us.

Pet of the Day is such a boost for me at the beginning of each day.

Much grief work ahead I am sure, yet, I'll get by with a little help from my friends at Pet Talk.

To those I love; When I am gone,just release me ,let me go-so I can move into my afterglow.You mustn't tie me down with your tears;lets be happy that we had so many years.I gave you my love,you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.I thank you for the love you have shown,but now its time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me awhile,if grieve you must,then let your grief be comforted with trust.Its only for a while that we must part,so bless the memories within your heart.And then, when you must come this way alone,I greet you with a smile and a Welcome Home

I found this I a journal that I had several years ago.I enjoyed it then as I do now.
Dot please send the email again,Mr Dumbo lost it Bob

Rob, I loved that. Of course, made me cry, though. We miss our RB dogs.
