You and Mandy are often in my thoughts Annette {{Hugs}}.

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}}}}}
