Mandy's gone...

[Curiousdish]

I hope Mandy finds my Casey & Digby to play with at the Rainbow Bridge who went there March and Sept of this year!

My heart goes out to you,
Christine and Scrappy

Just dug this song up for another thread, wanted to post it here in Mandys thread. It's Mandy by Barry Manilow. It's a cold, rainy night here and like always, I miss my Mandy. The last few days have been difficult and with the holidays I know it will be even worse. Always the sweet memories, but how I wish you were still here Mandy.

Mandy

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

This is a good idea. It is something how our songs do fit our dogs. It will be a sad holiday, indeed.

[chocolatepuppy]

Val, maybe a bittersweet holiday. We have other furkids to love and enjoy the holidays with, it's just that special one missing that will be so hard. But our RB angels will be with us in spirit with so many memories. I can see myself bawling at the littlest things, I can just see it coming.

Chocolatepuppy~ I know that song, and I heard the song while I read your post.

To this very day, I cannot listen to Ray Charles singing his well known song "Georgia", without thinking of my beloved Foxy Jean.


I say now Foxy~~~~~Foooxxxyyyy~

No Peace,------- No Peace can I find,

But an ol sweet song,~~~~~~~ leaves Foxy on my mind.


I say Foxy (piano) , Fooo0xxxyyy, a song of you,


Sounds so sweet and clear, like moonlight on the pines~~~~



Other dogs reach out to me,

And their eyes smile tenderly,

But in "Peaceful " dreams I seeee, The Road~~~ Leads Back ~~~~to YOU~

I say Foxy~~~~Fooooxxxy,

No peace,------ no Peace will I find,

Just an ol sweet song, leaves Foxy on my mind ~~~~~

I say, ---just an ol sweet song, leaves Foxy on my mind.( and I can still see her, parading ahead of me, with her tail curled up so high)


Dukedogsmom~(blows nose, then wipes eyes) Let's pass up on the kleenix this Christmas and actually open up the glorious gift that our Beloved Rainbow Dogs gave to us~ It is so empressive !!!! These dogs will forever be a part of us. ( piano keys,~~ closing of the song) I now feel so whole. I now understand what Christmas can become.

{{HUGS all around}}}}}

Yes, I do remember MANDY~( piano keys, hitting the keynboard in front of me)


We , on this memorial thread, feel a "sacred" understanding and Yes, We will forever recall every single moment spent with them , confirming the reason we loved them as well as knowing why we loved them so much.

I embrace this " Magnificient" ~ Christmas ~

You guys have me in tears now! (((hugs chocolatepuppy, dorothy 39, and dukedogsmom))))) Almost one year since my ChowChow kitty joined my Rosie at the RB. And Rosie had a song, too, by Tom Waits. Can't recall the title, but "Rosie" is who he sings about.

I know this has got to be it:

Well I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

And the moon's all up, full and big, apricot tips in an indigo sky,
And I've been loving you, Rosie, since the day I was born
And I'll love you, Rosie 'til the day I die.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

And I'm sitting on a windowsill, blowing my horn
Nobody's up except the moon and me,
And a lazy old tomcat on a midnight spree
All that you left me was a melody.
Rosie, why do you evade? Rosie, how can I persuade? Rosie...

I imagine I'll be stopping by here at Christmas. I'm sort of boycotting it this year. May 2007 be much happier for us all.

I know this has got to be it:

Oh bless you, Val, that's the one! Bye for now?

[chocolatepuppy]

I thought I was doing so good. While getting out the Christmas decorations, your stocking with your name on it didn't bother me so much. But tonight when I took out your ornament with your name on it, well, all I can say is this Christmas is going to be hard.
Just wanted to post a few pictures of Mandy, these were before I was on Pet Talk. A few were in a video I posted a while back, but most of you probably have not seen them.
When Mandy was a puppy...

In the fall, her chocolate fur looked so good with the leaves...

and oh how she loved the snow, I called her my snow dog...

I miss you so much Mandy...
*Please don't use these pictures without my permission, I'm very sensitive about Mandy*

[luvofallhorses]

she was a gorgeous puppy and a gorgeous dog, Annette! (((HUGS))) even though she is not with you physically..she will be in your heart always where she belongs forever.

[kallisto4529]

I am so sorry for your loss, I am not looking forward to Christmas much this year because of my Ginger. Mandy was beautiful, I know you must miss her greatly, I will keep you in my prayers.

[pitc9]

{hugs} to you!

[Jadapit]

I'm so sorry Annette. She was a beautiful girl. (((Hugs)))
