Mandy's gone...

[chocolatepuppy]

Dorothy, you are a sweetheart! I can hear you singing that song. There will be quite a few of us having bittersweeet holidays this year, our beloved pet gone...and a new pup in our lives. {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.

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

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.

I was doing pretty good myself, but~ among the decorations that I carefully stored from Christmas 2005, was a felt scarf given to Foxy Jean~ It was neatly placed within a zip-loc bag~ and her HAIR was still clinging to it~ What a Blessing

I knew Foxy Jean was not doing well, but I muscled up the courage to take a photo of her, wearing it, and sent it back to my daughter as soon at" it " arrived in the mail.

She looked up at me, while I snapped the camera~ and now, on Pet Talk, I have the " Sacred Blessing "of *Sharing* that Last Photo of her, with you.


This Christmas Holds Such Tenderness for me~( although, Bittersweet)


As though I can smell a Rose during Winter~

Just Hold onto me, My Friends~( This reply was a wee bit difficult, but necessary)
