I love your tribute to Flossie here in the Tributes Section. It means a lot to have a special place to talk to them and about them and a tribute is very fitting here.

She is a sweet girl and she must be listening to every word you say...probably with her head leaning a little to one side?

We know we were always the most important thing in their world and so it can't be helped that they are just as important in our world.

Beautiful Angels with beautiful souls....how could anyone not love these babies? Just wish life was fairer and they were allowed to be here longer.

But we truly will never forget them and there are times we just have to tell them so. It's nice to be able to do that without judgment.

Hugs to you and your sweethearts,
Judy

It's Thursday Miss Floss...............

Your birthday is coming up and although we didn't make a real big deal every year, my goal was for you to still be with me this year. You are really, just not in person!

Since Jingles did not have a "birth certificate" we are guessing him to be around 1 year old now so have decided to "assign" him your birthday. Since he has been such a comfort to me and tries really hard to cheer me up, I thought you would be OK with that.

Love you...........be a good girl!

Hugs back to you Ginger and your Flossie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad you have Jingles to help you through. I still have Sissycat's 2 sisters and her mother. Plus one I've adopted since her passing and I can't forget Phoebe either. They do help to ease our pain, but none will ever replace them.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ginger and Flossie I am thinking of you both on our shared day.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weather is getting nice and I see you watching me getting ready for our trip Flossie.............
Don't worry............. you'll be going along.

Be a good girl!

Love, Mom

Thinking of you and Flossie today!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Bossy Flossie....................

Visited yesterday but no words would come....just thoughts of how you are missed and hoping you and Sissycat have found each other and made friends. Oh, I know she is a CAT and you only liked Doofus but maybe you could make an exception here!

If that is not possible, find Ziggy, Pizzazz, Frisky or Pedro and tell them we all said hello. Not too sure Pedro will put up with your bossy self for long though and since he's not a Poodle he may not understand the Poodle ways.

WeeBee is getting to be a little porker and Jingles is growing into a beautiful biig boy. Thank you for being so accepting of them and letting us know it was OK to add them to our family before you left us. We know you had something to do with them entering our lives and help to keep us from being so lonely.

Like the Willie Nelson song................ You Are Always On My Mind..............

Love you tons.............. Be a good girl!

These babies are always a part of our hearts and are a part of our souls.

They are always with us no matter where we travel...they never leave our side now.

Hugs to you and Flossie....she knows...and she hears you.

Judy

Giner and Flossie,
You are both on my mind this morning as I post to Sissycat. Yes, I hope the two of them are getting along well together. I'm sure they are. lol

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you a lot for this entire week Flossie.............. ever grateful for the years of companship you gave me as well as your spirit to always recover from whatever was sent your way.

We just passed the 5 month mark of being away from each other and I hope you are adjusting to your new home.

Missing you............. be a good girl.

Love, Mom

Sending hugs to you and Flossie today, as you reach the 5 month mark.

May Flossie have a wonderful day today.

~NM

Thank you NM.............. sometimes it does not seem possible at all that it has been that long. She had special care for most of her life and the last 2 years were even more intense. I would do everything exactly the same.


Flossie................ well today we are trying to get ready to head back to the farm and of course you will be going along. Back to where we spent our last months together. Where you had such freedom and fresh air. No leash and only your disabilities for restriction. You & Baby will ride together in the console. Jingles & WeeBee will be wherever they decide to sit or sleep. We'll think of you everytime we stop at McDonalds for a sausage biscuit or coffee.... we'll put your cup of water in it's usual place and I know you won't mind if WeeBee carries on the tradition of the ice water treat.

I'll probably not post next Thursday because we will be traveling but you will be with us all the way and in our thoughts many, many times as we travel.

We miss you my precious little girl.

Be a good girl................................

Hello on our special Thursday.

Have a safe trip and I know that she will be joining you!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will think of you next thursday too!!!!!!

Just wanted to say hello, even tho I know you are on your trip.

Hugs to you and Flossie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sissycat..................

We are now at our destination and the place where Flossie spent her final days. She rode along back to here along with our cat Babys' ashes so we are all together along with WeeBee & Jingles.

Made a trip to the Vet who put our precious Flossie to sleep for us last October to pick up flea/tick meds as the ticks are already crawling all over WeeBee.

It was if we never left here for WeeBee.... she and Jingles are so happy here and though Flossie ended up here only near the end I know she is watching us and happy for us that we are here. She did enjoy the time spent here although not like she could have in her younger days.


Flossie, you are still so much a part of our family and we miss your presence but talk of you often and remember so many things you did with and for us to enrich our lives. We honor you by giving our love and a home to Jingles & WeeBee. The love, joy and companship you gave to us have made us better people and enabled us to cherish the time we had with you and the importance of giving our new babies love and a home. You are not being replaced as that could never be done........... we grew because of you and these babies have a home because of our 17+ years with you.
Be a good girl.............. Love, Mom

Glad you are at your destination.

Hugs to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is 6 months Flossie and I miss you so much...................

My wish for you is that you are happy.............. rid of the injury that robbed you of your youth............... and please don't be afraid without me. Learn to enjoy the others there with you. Don't just sit and wait for me like always. I WILL come one day. Don't waste time waiting.

Have fun and most of all like I always told you when I left................. BE A GOOD GIRL

Love, Mom

Sorry I missed our special day. Had a storm last Wednesday and have had computer problems.

Hugs To you Ginger and Flossie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love You Miss Floss!!!!!!!!!!!

Be a Good Girl...........

Love, Mom

Awe mom,

Flossie is always a GOOD girl!!!!!

Thinking of you guys too today.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missing you so much my wonderful little Miss Floss...............................

We are so glad to have WeeBee to fill some of the emptiness your leaving has done to our lives and hearts. Since you tolerated her joining our family so unexpectidly we are sure you had a hand in it and approved. Dad even mentioned that she did not run down the little stream of running water like you did. He still remembers that day even though it was when you were just a puppy.

We are ever grateful for the 17-1/2 years you gave us such unconditional love and trusted us to do whatever needed to be done over the many emergancies you were faced with. We would do it all again.

Be a good girl!

Love, Mom & Dad

Hi Little Miss Floss. Big Hugs to You, your Mom, Dad and WeeBee, too!!!

You're such a

And you are so very Loved Little Floss!!!!!

More Big Hugs!!!!!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Wanting to say hello - Flossie and Ginger.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another lonely week without you my special girl!!!

I even called WeeBee Flossie once this week while we were out for a walk...........

Be a good girl


Thanks so much Dottie for your message to us. You are such a support to this forum and all of us who need a kind word from time to time. It takes a special person to be able to offer that support after all you've been through.

Thanks to you Sissycat for always remembering Flossie & I. I do appreciate your thoughts and comfort.

Ginger

Hello there Ginger and Flossie. Remembering you both on our shared anniversary.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Miss Priss!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I missed yesterday but you were in my thoughts as much as ever.

We lost our friend Brooks so be sure to look for him on Wednesday night/Thursday am. He left Smarty for us to take care of. We are so glad Smarty brought so much joy and companionship to him for the last year and a half. He will now have to adjust to Savannah & Fat Boy and that may be difficult since it has only been him & Brooks. Since we only had him 4 days I know he will not remember our home.

When you find Brooks, tell him we love him and are taking good care of Smarty for him.

Love you and miss you tons my Bossy Flossie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be a good girl..............................

Love, Mom

Hi
Flossie and Ginger,

I too missed yesterday. Just so many things going on here. Still remembered just didn't set down at the computer last night.

Sorry to hear of your friend Brooks passing.


Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seven months today our precious Flossie left us. So lucky we were to have her for so long and though it was a tough road sometimes both financially and emotionally, I would do it all over again.

We commented often that many would not and could not have done for her what we were willing to do. A amall price to pay for having her in our lives!

Because of her we learned so much about the true love and bond between a human and their pet. We will have a closer bond with all that come into our lives because of her. I even called our current dog by her name several times in the last couple of weeks. Flossie must be looking down in approval so her name just slips out.

Now if I can just get the cat someone must have dumped out to let me get a hold of him so I can get him to the vet, we will have taken care of another one who needs help. Would like to find him another farm to go to since we cannot take him along in November. OR...... maybe we can........

Love and hugs today Flossie..................... missing you as always..................

Be a good girl................

Mom

Dropping by to say hello to our little pestamatic..................

Flossie, many, many times this week WeeBee has been called by your name. Dad says maybe she is beginning to fill up the hole in my heart a little piece at a time. I guess she helps a bit but I sure do miss you. She is a sweetheart of a dog but she could never, ever take your place. I have beautiful memories to remember the years we spent together. What a wonderful time we had together and shared some rough times too. None like you my "Bossy Flossie".

Be a good girl................................

Sending hugs your way as we remember each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You appeared in my dream a couple of nights ago Miss Flossie and, as usual, I was being protective of you as you were trying to walk somewhere that your funny little back legs may have failed to follow the front ones correctly.

Wish you were here.........................

Be a good girl............... and watch your step!

Love, Mom

Thinking of you both today!!!

Still no dream of Sissycat for me. Been a year and none. I wonder what it means if there are no dreams?

Glad you have dreams of your Flossie!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here I am crying again because I miss you so much my precious Flossie...................

Crying but so grateful to have had you in my life for so long and having known such love and complete trust from you. I know you always trusted me to take care of you and do the absolute best I could for you.

Seems impossible that it has been 8 months.

I'll never forget you................ I'll always love you............ and as always .... be a good girl!

Love, Mom

Just saying a remembering hello to you Ginger and Flossie.

Have a Happy 4th of July!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ginger, Sending you a much needed BIG HUG....(totally understand!)....Ann

Thanks so much Sissycat and Ann............

I've not been on much lately as I always seem to cry and wondered if staying away from posting about Flossie would help. I think about her and read many posts but avoided posting. I do cry less but think about her every single day.

I am sure both of you are about in the same boat!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the support you have both shown over the last 8 months. Husbands, kids, family and friends sometimes cannot understand what a connection we have had with our bridgekids.

I hope our special ones are having good times together as they wait for us at the bridge.........

Sending back big hugs to each of you.................................

Ginger

Yes,
Ginger


I too have stayed away a little this last month. Being just over a year I have written every Thursday till now.
It doesn't mean we think of them any less or love them any less. Maybe it is just another step in our healing. I will continue however to still write notes to my Sissycat maybe some will be send mentally and others here.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kim

I haven't been on much myself and I think that you are right about this being another phase in our grief journey. We move on, but we never forget.
LS is now our little "safety net"...When we feel ourselves falling, we have a place to come to knowing there will someone there who understands...Hugs...Ann

Still thinking of you Miss Priss!!!!!!!

I've been remiss in sending notes to you and Thursday night I had a restless night so I'm sure it was you tromping about in my thoughts somehow. I even was awake enough once to say "is that you Flossie?" Nothing I can put my finger on but somehow I think you were here.

WeeBee has a sore leg and it reminds me of what a bad hand you were delt at a young age but somehow accepted things and went on. I told Dad I don't think I could bear another one to have back/leg problems. And I am not so sure she has the same patience and resolve that you did. Not counting the Vet visits that is..................... you got to be a bit of a tyrant about all of that stuff didn't you?

Dad & I talk of you often. We recall the way you loved to run & play for those first years and later even though your legs didn't always go where they were supposed to, somehow the hind end would get around the corner or meet your side as you ran in a circle in the living room. We often wondered if the back legs were trying to pass you?? We were not laughing AT you. We were amazed that you were having such fun and not even knowing you were "crippled".

Having WeeBee and Jingles do help us not to be quite so sad that you've gone ahead of us. We miss you very, very much and wish we'd had this most wonderful place for you to enjoy too. But as long as we were together it really was the most important thing.

Miss you bunches and hope you are having a good time. Be a good girl!

Happy Thursday Flossie................

You have been on my mind and very heavy on my heart for a week now. 9 months last Thursday since we said goodby and I still cry sometimes. I know that is selfish as you were tired and needed to rest.

I know I should not have these sad days but you were in our lives so long that it is difficult to not selfishly wish you were here to enjoy a part of our lives that I wish you had been able to have for all those years. Such freedom here rather than the confines of a leash or being in the house alone so much.

I do realize that you were happy just being with us and thankful that we are the ones who were able to be your "parents" for 17+ years and were able to get the medical attention that you needed. Another family may not have been able to do that for you so it was a win, win situation wasn't it Flossie?

Dad & I send our love........... Be a good Girl..................

Sending a hello Ginger and Flossie.

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missing you today "Bossie Flossie"....................

Be a good girl............. Love, Mom

Also thinking of the both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Flossie................

Today is 10 months without your presence in our daily lives. It is ironic that today I found your blanket that David gave you to lay on when I took you to the shop with me and it became our traveling blanket for you. It was still in the travel trailer where you last used it. I have taken it out and put it away since you now have a cloud for your resting place.

I imagine you posed like this but on a cloud rather than on our deck at home. Much younger and healthier and watching down on us as we get ready for a trip without being able to feed you the sausage biscuts and have the ice water from McDonalds in your cup holder where you could stand on the special area we had for you and drink from it. WeeBee has taken up the ritual and since you were so good to share that place with her for the few months you knew her, she now rides there. You'll be along as your ashes ride in the console right under the cup holder.

Thank you Flossie for all the years you shared with us and all the love you gave us. I miss you everyday.............. and love you just as much as I always have.

That is a great photo of Flossie!!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful girl! ((hugs)) I'm so sorry.

Ginger and Flossie thinking of you both on our shared day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you this evening!!!!!!!!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Miss Floss, here we are at week 51................... today is the anniversary of the day I called the vet to end our time together here on earth.

I'm looking out at the yard we spent hours in for that last week. I carried you to many places around the farm to smell the fresh air, walk when you could and look out as far as your poor weak eyes could see. I know you loved that week and I tried to make it "our week". All the while looking for a sign that I should cancel the appointment. There were days you were doing well and then the next day would jerk me back to the reality of how you really were. The not so good days outweighed the good days even though you tried so hard to play like you were a puppy again just 2 days before our appointment. Though it was temporary, I will always be glad for that day.

I don't come here often, it is still painful when I dwell on your being gone. I haven't forgotten you my precious girl, I just can't be so sad..... it does me no good and it won't bring you back.

Thank heaven we have WeeBee & Mr. Jingles or I would be so lonely I'd go crazy. We know you must have brought them to us and it takes them both to fill our hearts and days with love since you left.

Be a good girl...................... Love, Mom

It was good to see you stop by.

Haven't heard from you in a while.

Hugs to you both!!!!!!!! (ginger and flossie)
