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!
