Unfortunately, dog lovers go through this so many times during our comparatively long life, hugs to you and your family. There is a quote from Dr. Seuss that I put on our Bernese Mtn Dog's garden stone that might give you some comfort: "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". So true, we are so lucky that dogs share their lives so completely with us for such a short time.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-42054885983435087632010-07-31T10:41:57.114-04:002010-07-31T10:41:57.114-04:00God Bless your beautiful soul Susan.God Bless your beautiful soul Susan.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038703319667640641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-74032278527966252692010-07-31T10:20:21.239-04:002010-07-31T10:20:21.239-04:00And ever has it been known

I know that dogs do live solidly in the moment and because they live there they don't feel these feeling that we feel. We just miss them so much. It's nearly 3 years since Jake died I think about him everyday and if I thought it possible to make a deal with someone or something I would wish him back in an instant. That love was so big.<br /><br />Hang in there. I'm so glad that you have another dog. Winnie was a god send for me, getting me out for my walks, having someone to continue to care for. Didn't mean to be quite so long winded but I sure have been thinking about you lots ! xo SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-47941303949638562882010-07-30T14:58:27.520-04:002010-07-30T14:58:27.520-04:00Oh, Dani, I'm so, so sorry.

When I saw that title pop up on my reader, I assumed you were taking a vacation break from blogging.<br /><br />And I waited all this time to click.<br />Every puppy is a future heartbreak, but the wonderful time in between always seems to make the future pain of parting bearable.<br />It's not supposed to be so short though. Sweet Ollie was lucky to be with your family during his short life. You all loved him so intensely and it came through in every happy post in which he starred.<br />And I know he loved you back just as intensely.<br /><br />I can't believe that I waited til today of all days to click on "Quiet".<br /><br />We are in a dog hospice situation here with my very old 14.5 year old Flounder. He has been slowly running out of life these last few days and is probably only hours away from the end.<br />He's resting peacefully on his bed, barely breathing, and is just a shell of his former crazy self.<br /><br />I did get a barely perceptible tail twitch this morning, but he's immobile now, so I know the time is close.<br /><br />How odd that I would come in from checking on him, scroll down to your 6 day old post, and click on it today of all days.<br /><br />I hope Elizabeth is dealing with this as best she can and that goes for all of you too of course.<br /><br />God bless your sweet little family.<br />and Ollie.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-22933488057784053112010-07-29T14:03:28.844-04:002010-07-29T14:03:28.844-04:00Just popped in to say hi- we're thinking of yo...Just popped in to say hi- we're thinking of you & Ollie. xo S & Miss DSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-58351545079259944232010-07-28T09:06:54.572-04:002010-07-28T09:06:54.572-04:00Now THAT is a lovely idea!!!Now THAT is a lovely idea!!!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-83970709110834259502010-07-28T08:59:15.573-04:002010-07-28T08:59:15.573-04:00I think I'll buy myself a nice locket and keep...I think I'll buy myself a nice locket and keep his hair in that.<br /><br /><br />I collect Civil War stuff, and one of the pieces I have is a bracelet woven from hair.

My dad "gave" him away, or took him to the pound, I'll never know as he wouldn't dare tell me. But, I collected all the hair I found of his and kept it for years in a photo album. It kept me connected to him.LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-86843462603449619862010-07-28T08:33:44.524-04:002010-07-28T08:33:44.524-04:00I sweep the floor and I find strands of curly Olli...I sweep the floor and I find strands of curly Ollie hair...Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038703319667640641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099962441495472453.post-6748845360262495202010-07-28T07:07:04.079-04:002010-07-28T07:07:04.079-04:00This hurts so very badly.
