Oh how it hurts, I know. I just lost my heart dog, my precious dog of 12 years. He, also, left before his time due to a terrible, rare illness that we tried to treat, but treatement prooved ineffective.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I am in tears, because my loss is still so fresh and to hear about loss brings back all kinds of painful memories. Your dog was absolutly gorgeous. He really looked like an angel. What an absolutely precious, adoring, gentle face he had.

On the happy note, what an absolutely precious bundle of fluff you are welcoming into your heart! I just LOVE him to pieces! There is absolutely nothing better to mend a broken heart then the welcoming of a new furangel into your home and heart.

(((((((((hugs to you and your new bundle of fluff)))))))))))

This is Whitman...he is coming from a Human Society. This is a picture of him at 6 weeks. He will not be ready for adoption until next weekend and I have already scheduled to be out of town for two weeks. My plan is to pick him up on September 7th! I cannot wait to have a new family member in my house....he is such a doll...and looks so similuar to Emerson as a puppy! I know he will help heal my heart...

I also think that Emerson will not miss the picnic to celebrate his life...he will be there with us in our memories and hearts. He really did touch so many people's lives....it will be amazing to have so many people together in one place, that knew him. When making my list of those that will come I am already at 50 people and several people I have told are even going to drive in for the event!

Thank you all for your support...i know how good it feels to finally have positive days.....although there isn't a day that goes by that I don't feel sad that Emerson is not going to be with me in his physical being...at least i know he will never leave me in spirit....I miss him terribly!

Whitman has come home.....and it is so nice to have a puppy in the house again! He is such a cutie and lover...and so good. I adopted from a humane society, at which they host their pets in a correction facility with a handler/prisner. Whitman was born in the correction facility with his 8 brothers and sisters. I received a daily diary of his life...it was amazing! I know so much about him and at 10 weeks he already knows how to sit, shake, lay down and roll over! He is such a wonderful pup! Can't wait to continue to bond with him and watch him experience things for the first time....I am constantly telling Whitman about his big brother, Emerson.

I am spreading Emerson's ashes next weekend. Some of my friends and I are going camping in a place where Emerson and I went on a regular basis. I have written a short service to dedicate his ashes and release him to God! It is will be a brief service with a prayer, two bible verses (Eccleissastes 3: 1-8 and Romans 8: 18-21) and reading of the rainbow bridge. Yesterday, I had a tag made to put on Emerson's collar, it is a red heart that says "In Memory of Emerson David Hartz". I am goiing to place the collar around the tree where I am scattering his ashes....it will be a way for me to mark where he has been laid to rest. His old tags I am currently using as a key chain..so that I can have him close to me at all times! Emerson will never leave me and has opened my heart to love animals....I am very thankful he was a part of my life!
