Hi my dearest angels.

Just wanted to say thanks for the visit the other day. I'm sure it was you Lily. I was sitting on the sofa, and suddenly felt a warm breath on my head. I've felt this before (only cold though) back during the winter months. Just a sudden quick little breeze that blows over so out of the blue. I'm so sure it's you Lily or maybe you too now Hunny.

I miss you both so very much. I wish I could just hold you again. I wish I could snuggle up with you both. I don't see Izzy looking up at the ceiling anymore, so I'm certain that you've both moved on. I know you're still watching over us, but I don't think you're as concerned for us as you were when you both left.

They're all doing well. It's getting cold out now. We've had snow already. About six inches on Friday. The pups sure love the snow. They love digging in it. George loves his agility classes. Quite the show off I've heard. And definitely teacher's pet! He and Carly went to Nan's yesterday afternoon. Some goats were out and apparently George rounded them up and herded them back into the fence. Carly said he was just so happy, grinning from ear to ear. How cute eh? Lucy's in heat now, and she's here everyday. I think George likes the company, but she brings Dumper with her. I don't trust him.

Oh well. Just wanted to say I love you both so very much. I love all of you up there. And I'm missing you all so much.

Love you babies.

Talk to you again.

Love Mum.

Good morning my sweet girls.

I cried all the way in to work this morning. I don't know why, but just became so upset driving in. Just one of those days I guess. I miss you both so much.

I love you both so very much.

Love Mum.

Lynette, I have those days too. It's strange how it seems to come out of nowhere. I'm sorry you're having one.

{*{*{*{*{Lynette}*}*}*}*} I also still have those days. One would think I'd be over it after two years. My loss took place October 12 through October 16, 2007. I must admit it's better. First came the hysterical screaming and crying every day that did not sound human. One neighbor thought I was being attacked by a large canine or primate like a chimp or gorilla that had escaped from the zoo. Were those wounded sounds coming from me? Yes, they were. How unreal.

At the present, I simply weep practically every day. Kind of softly at times and harder other times. However, like I said, it's much better. Thank goodness for that. Right now, it's so difficult to type this to you as tears stream down my cheeks, but not for my loss at all. It's because I can truly feel your palpable pain. It hurts physically, too. Such grief, loneliness and despair can be and many times is so difficult to bear. Oh, how I empathize with you, Dear One.

Please know that all along you and your Rainbow Bridge Babies have been in my thoughts and prayers. Winging many loving Angels to soothe and gently guide you through this most difficult time in your life.

Many Comforting Hugs!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Thanks Dottie.

Having another one of those emotional days again. I have a cold, maybe that's why. They were playing Hunny's song on the radio a little while ago. At first I didn't recognize it, but when I did, the tears just welled up in my eyes. I have Lily's song on my mp3 player - I can never play it though. Too many painful memories.

To my precious babies, Hunny and Lily.

I sure hope you two are happy and healthy cos that's all I want for you. I miss you both so much. The pups are doing well. George has his last agility class tomorrow. Well, actually, we're signing him up for another eight weeks. He likes it. We took Barney and Casey last weekend to see if they would enjoy it. I think they might. Barney did soooooo well. You should have seen it. Hunny, you'd be so proud of him. He did the jumps so perfectly. Of course, he'll do anything for some chicken! He is such a handsome boy. Casey and Izzy are gorgeous too.

We still haven't buried your ashes Hunny. I don't know if I can. But we'd better hurry up if we are eh? Winter's not far off now. It's getting colder. The ground hasn't frozen yet, but I'm sure it will in the next month or so. I hate winter so much. They are just so long now. We had such a crappy summer this year again.

Did mama make it there safely? Is fat mama there too? She still hasn't come home. It's been a long time now - she never stays away this long. I guess one good thing is is that you are all back together again.

The cats love Izzy. You should see her. She can't go anywhere without at least a couple cats tagging along. It's so cute. And then Smokey always snuggles up with her. I don't think George much cares for the cats. He doesn't hurt them, but he'll chase them off sometimes.

I wish I could hug you both again. It's been a while since I've felt you around. Please come home again soon. I miss you so, so much.

I love you both with all my heart and soul.

Talk to you later babies.

Love Mum.

Hi Angels.

I can't believe that it is seven months now since you had to leave us Hunny. Sometimes it seems like such a long time ago, and other times, like it was just yesterday. I miss you so much. Both of you. It is getting easier. I don't sense you around anymore though. I miss that. But I know you're in a better place where you are both fit and healthy again. And hopefully, having so much fun.

I hope one day you can forgive me for sending you to Lily Hunny. And Lily, I hope you can forgive us for not being able to save you.

I miss you both so much. My heart aches for you all the time. There is not a day goes by that I don't think of you both. I hope you know how deeply I loved - love you both.

I love you my angels with my heart and soul. I hope we get to be together again. Cos, when we do meet I'm gonna give you both the biggest hugs ever and I promise I'll never let you go again.

I love you babies.

Love Mum.

Hi my precious Angels.

I miss you both so much. There are days when I just can't believe that you're both gone. My heart still aches so much for you both. I love you babies. Love Mum.

Love you Angels. Missing you so much.

Love Mum.

Hi my sweet Angels.

I miss you both so much.

Finally went to the doctor yesterday with this cough. Turns out it's bronchitis. So, now I have a pile of drugs to take. Feeling a bit better today, but am quite sore. I'm so tired of feeling run down. It's been a long year and a half since you left us Lily. And a very stressful one at that. I think it's time to start taking care of myself again don't you think? I wasn't surprised when I got sick a month ago. I've been so stressed and run down for so long now. But hopefully, now I can start feeling better. I know things will never be the same again without you both here. I wish I could turn back time, I wish I could hold you both again. I miss you so, so much.

Hunny, Lily - I love you so much. I hope you're having a great time wherever you are. I've been trying to think of something special to get for this Christmas in remembrance of you both. I have come up with nothing yet, except maybe flowers. I don't know. I guess it will come to me.

Anyway, better go. I love you both.

Love always and forever, Mum.

Lynette...I hope you are having a great Thanksgiving.

Hugs to you.

-Sonya-

Lynette...I hope you are having a great Thanksgiving and are feeling better and getting rid of that nasty bronchitis.

Hunny and Lily are with you always.
Hugs to you.

-Sonya-

Thanks Sonya.

I am in Canada so we had our Thanksgiving last month - but thanks anyway. Hope you have a great holiday.

Lynette.

oops sorry...well I hope you had a great day all the same...I forget there are angels here all over the world.

Thinking of you Lynette,

Hugs,
Brutus' Mom

Hi my babies.

I am missing you so much this morning.

I love you both so much.

Love you forever my precious Angels.

Hi my precious angels.

I haven't been here for a couple weeks. Doesn't mean I don't miss you, cos I do. And this will be the first Christmas without you Hunny. The second without you Lily. It'll be hard, but I hope you'll be with us in spirit.

I don't have much to say, not much going on these days. The pups finished their agility classes on the weekend. It was fun, but it'll be nice to have a break. Of course, they all did really well.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you both a Merry Christmas, and to let you know that I miss you both so very much and that Christmas won't be the same without you here.

I love you babies. Forever and always.

Love Mum.

Hi Lynette...just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas filled with peace and happy memories of your golden angels.

Hugs,
Brutus' Mom

Hi babies.

I know I don't come here very often anymore. You know I will never forget you. But sometimes, coming here just opens up so many painful wounds. I love to talk about you guys, but I just can't keep reliving that pain anymore. I guess that means it's time to move forward. I wish you both were still with me. I miss you so much. But I can't bring you back. I can't hug and kiss you. But one day, I sure hope we can be together again. I'll come back now and then. I often come here just to see what's going on and don't write anything.

Just know my dear angels how much I love and miss you both. I miss all of you up there. And I'll keep talking to you every night the way I have always done. I just won't come here as often.

Christmas was really quiet. I had a calendar made up for Carly. It was a gift from both of you. It turned out really good. I also, made a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society in your memories. Of course, I had to send them a little letter about you both. It's important to me that we support other less fortunate dogs. If it wasn't for them we would never have known you Lily. And I'm so very happy that we had you in our lives. You brought us so much love and happiness. All of you have. Anyway, Christmas was quiet. Even though we have Izzy, George, Barney and Casey, it seemed strange without you both.

Anyway, the pups are doing well. Barney and Casey are bored. It's been so cold, they've been stuck in the house. Especially Casey, she loves being outside so much. They are both so beautiful. Hunny you would be proud of them. All of them. I wish you would have had the chance to meet them too Lily. I think you would have really liked Casey. She reminds me so much of you sometims. Maybe that's because she's a spaniel too. You have very different personalities, but there is just something about her that reminds me of you. She's beautiful - just like you. She wags her whole bum just like you did. She's so adorable Lily.

I sure hope this year is better than the last two have been. The last two years have certainly been really tough on all of us. Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Talk to later. Remember that I love you so much and I always will. And I will always miss you.

Love Mum.

Hi Angels.

I am missing you both so much, I feel like crying today. I hope you're both happy and healthy wherever you are.

I wish I could hold you and kiss you again. I just miss you so much.

Everyone is doing well. Getting bored with winter though. The doodles can't wait for spring. They are so sick of being stuck indoors.

I love you babies.

Love Mum.

Thinking of you Lynette and your Angels. I'm feeling the same, just want to have cuddles and licks again. I miss them so much. I am completely pet-less now and I feel so lost , the house is so quiet and empty. Please give your babies a hug from me.

Love Jan and my Angels x

Hi my little angels.

Just thinking of you today. I think of you all the time, but today, I don't know, just seems a little sadder. I miss you so, so much. Most of the time I do ok, but today it hurts just as much as it did when you both left me. I can't believe that it will be a year in a couple months that we let you go Hunny. And two years for you this summer Lily. God, I miss you both so much. I wish I could just hold you both. I hope you're still around, but I never feel you anymore. But it's more important that you're happy. Izzy never looks up like she's looking at you anymore. I'm glad you've moved on, but it makes me sad that I don't feel you around anymore.

Everyone is doing well. Poor Carly woke up with a fat lip this morning. I don't know how that happened, but she wasn't too impressed. Said she can't go to school like that. I convinced her to put a cold cloth on it for a while. It seemed to take the swelling down quite a bit. Maybe George or Izzy punched her while she was sleeping!!

The pups are waiting for spring. Poor Casey is so bored in the house. It's been really cold again for the past few days. Supposed to be warmer for the weekend, so they'll get to spend lots of time outside. We have no plans this weekend, so they can be outside.

Anyway, just wanted to say I love you and miss you both.

Take care my precious angels. I love you!!

Love Mum.

Oh my God, my babies, my heart aches so much for you both.

I bet you never thought I'd show up here 11 o'clock Saturday night eh? I've just finished watching a movie. It was so, so sad. It had many happy parts, but the jist of the story was something I could relate to because I've lost you both. I wasn't going to watch it, but Carly wanted to. It was about a man who died, but kept sending letters to his wife after he was gone. It was just so very sad. I feel so lost without you both. One part, just made be bawl my eyes out. This pain is as strong as when you first left me. I feel so lost and alone. It's been almost a year, and I still can't seem to care about myself yet. I don't know if I ever will (not that I guess I ever really did), but my life just seems so out of control these days. I don't know what to do. I feel so lonely some times. Dad and I never touch anymore. God, I love you both.

I don't know why, but I've been feeling really sad this past week or so. Maybe, it's because in less than a month, Hunny, it will be a year since you had to leave. I can't seem to stop crying.

I love you angels. I miss you so much. I wish I could hold you one more time.

I love you so very much. I don't even know what to write.

I'll talk to you again soon. Love you.

Love Mum.

Hi Angels.

Hope you are all well. I miss you so much. The pain never goes away. I still cry when I think of you.

I can't believe it will be a year this Sunday Hunny. God, I miss you and Lily - and the rest of you - so very much. Sunday will be a difficult day I think. Nan's birthday next Tuesday, so we'll probably be at Nan's Sunday afternoon for a while.

This past year has actually gone by pretty fast. I can't believe it will be two years Lily. It hurts as much as the day you both had to leave me. I wish I could hold and kiss you again. I never see you in my dreams anymore, but hopefully that means that you've both moved on and are very happy wherever you are.

The pups are doing well. Trouble as usual. No, they're good. All the snow is pretty much gone now and they're loving it. We've been taking Barney and Casey for walks. They love that. I think they feel left out because the other two are outside the fence and are free to roam pretty much wherever they want. Barney and Casey aren't allowed off the leash outside the fence. It's for their own good though. Dumper bit Izzy the other day on her back. She's a little tender there. Dumper even had a go at Barney last weekend and gramp was holding him. Good job gramp was there! Of course, Barney surrenders right away.

You'd be so proud of them now Hunny. I know I say that all the time, but you would. And Casey, I know you only had two weeks with her, but you'd love her to pieces. Lily - you'd love them all. You would've loved running around with them all the time. I think you would have outrun them though. You definitely would have tired them out! They can go for a long time, but you could go for hours eh Lily? I miss my walking partner so much.

Anyway, I just wanted to come here and say hi, cos I'm not working tomorrow. Friday is Good Friday, so no work. And like I said Sunday will be your one year anniversary. I wish you were still both here. I wish I could wrap my arms around you. Lily, Casey is so like you sometimes. She loves to lick our faces like crazy - just like you did. And Izzy is like you Hunny, she comes up and leans against you for a rub.

Anyway, better go.

I talk to you later. Love you.

Love Mum.

Hi Lynette
I hope you have a good weekend -- anniversaries are really hard. It will only be 4 months next week that we lost Sammy and I'm still counting the weeks each week. We have Good Friday off too and I'm not really looking forward to it. I used to love having days off when I had Sammy to hang around with -- now days like that are just a whole lot of emptiness. take care
Sharon

Thanks Sharon. I love my days off too - just spending time with my babies is precious.

Hunny, Lily. - thinking of you today. I can't believe it's been a year Hunny. Seems like only yesterday. I wish I could hold you both again.

Love you my precious angels.

Love Mum.

Hi Angels.

They were just playing your song on the radio Hunny. Thought of you both. I think of you both all the time, but just thought I would come and write a few words, it's been a while since I've been here.

I hope you're both doing well. I miss you so much still. Everyone is doing well. We missed agility school Saturday. I think the pups were disappointed, but there was nothing we could do. The van was working properly. Dad ordered a oouple books, he's going to train them to do some tricks. That should be interesting to see. I know they are all smart, but they are easily distracted too.

Hunny, you should see Izzy. She has come such a long way. She doesn't jump at every little thing like she used to. She still barks at dad everytime he comes close, but she's wagging her tail at the same time. She even sleeps with me sometimes! She's been acting so frisky lately, just like a little pup. It's so nice to see. Barney is still a little chicken. Casey is as adorable as ever. And George, he's outside most of time now. He doesn't come in much at all - too hot for him I guess. Plus he's so busy watching the yard.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi babies. And tell you both how much I love and miss you.

I love you. Tell mammas I love them too. And miss them.

Love Mum.

Love you Angels.

Miss you so much.

Love forever and always, Mum.

Just wanted to say that I think it's very courageous and touching that you still write to them. I talk to a picture of my dog, Kota (passed a month ago), all the time and tell her how much I love and miss her. Reading some of your past posts it sounds like you have some younger dogs? They are lucky to be with you.

Dennis

Thanks Dennis.

Actually, I talk to them every night before I fall asleep. I've been doing this every single night since I lost Mitzy, my first dog, back in November 1980. I don't think I've missed one night! Not many people know that I do this.

Yes, I have four other dogs now. Losing Hunny and Lily was extremely painful. I've lost several dogs, but somehow, these two really hurt. But now we have four! One border collie, George, 2, two full-blood beagles, Izzy, 6, Barney, almost 2, and a beagle x spaniel, Casey, also almost two. They are my world. George, Izzy and Casey were rescues. They each have their own personalites. None of them are anything like Hunny or Lily. Casey would be the closest, I think, to Lily, and only because she is part spaniel like Lily was. I think it's some of the spaniel traits that make them similar.

We got Izzy just days after Lily died. She was rescued from a puppy mill, and had issues of her own, but she really helped Hunny and the rest of us get through the loss of Lily. Izzy was our saviour!

My heart still aches so much for Lil and Hunn, but I would say it's almost full with these four. They can be quite a handful, especially the two young ones!

I'm so very sorry you are hurting right now. Kota is with you in spirit. I know that doesn't help, but you will reach a point when you feel that your pain is keeping her from moving on to wherever it is she needs to go. And then you'll be ready to move forward. I can't tell you when that will be. It's different for each of us. I woke up about six months or so after Lily died thinking "what if I'm keeping her here, and what if she is stuck here, lonely and sad, because of me? " I couldn't bear the thought that she was trapped here, so something in me told her that we would be ok and that she should move on to where she'll be happy again and that we would see her again someday. As crazy as this seems, it did help a bit.

Anyway, thanks for writing. I wish you some peace in your healing.

Take good care.

Lynette.

My Dearest Lily and Hunny.

I miss and love you both so very much. I can't believe it will be two years this Thursday since you left us Lily. Some days the pain is just as great as it was that day. These past two years have flown by. They haven't been the best years of my life - that's for sure. Losing you and Hunny and mammas has been really hard. I sure hope you are in a better place and hope and pray that someday we will be together again. My heart aches to hold and kiss you all. I hope that you both can forgive me one day. I know you probably already have, but I still feel so much guilt. I'm so so sorry that you had to get sick Hunny. And Lily, I feel that I just let you down. You left so suddenly we didn't even get the chance to say goodbye. Not that it's goodbye (I hope) - just so long. You were both the lights of my life. It's been really tough these past couple of years. Thank goodness for Izzy, George, Barney and Casey. I don't know what I would've done without them. But I dread the day that they have to leave too. I hope that that won't happen for a very long time.

Anyway, everyone is ok. Carly finishes school this Friday. She's excited of course. The doodles will be happy to have her home.

I think about you all every single day, but the last week or so, you've been on my mind more. I guess because of Thursday. I just miss you so much.

Well, I'm gonna go. Talk to you later.

Love you all.

Hugs and kisses to you all my precious angels.

Love Mum.

Two years today Lily. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I miss and love you so, so, so very much. I wish I could hold and kiss you again.

Love forever and always, Mum, Dad, Carly, Izzy, George, Barney, Casey and all the cats. Love you too Hunny and mammas.

Hi my precious Angels.

I miss you all so very much. I tried reading some of the new posts on here today, I can't do it. They are all so sad and it just drags up my own sadness of losing you.

I wish I could turn back time. I would just love to hold and kiss you one more time. All though one more time would never be enough. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. You have left such a huge hole in my heart. I don't know if it will ever heal. Each day gets better, but it doesn't take very much to feel the hurt again.

Everyone is doing ok. George is still doing his agility classes. He's pretty good at it. You wouldn't believe how far Izzy has come. Hunny you would be so proud of her! She no longer bolts. She is such a sweetheart. And Barney, you'd love him to pieces. I know you didn't have much time to get to know Casey, but she is just the most adorable thing ever. I wish you could have had more time with her Hunny. And Lily, I wish you could have met all of them - you'd have loved them all.

Carly is well. She's doing some babysitting these days, making herself a little money.

Smokey is still around. Chirper too. Gingie took off - I haven't seen him in a while. Chirper had four kittens this year, one died, so she has three running around. Barney and Casey love them!

Anyway, better go. I love you all and I miss you so very much.

Hugs and kisses.

Love Mum.

Hi my precious angels.

It's been a while since I've been here. I miss you so so much.

It's Carly's birthday this Wednesday. I always find birthdays to be very sad since you guys left. I think of you all the time. I wish so much that you could be here with us.

Everyone is doing well. The pups are all good. George is done with agility classes for this year. He was doing really well, but I think he was a bit fed up with it week after week. But now that it's over, I think he actually misses it. He has started chasing vehicles again. Barney and Casey just had their second birthdays.

Don't know what to get Carly for her birthday this year. She has everything! I was thinking of maybe a cook book for her from the pups. You know how much she likes to cook, but I don't know where I could find one in town. We won't be going to Winnipeg for a while I think. She wants to make her own birthday cake this year - actually a lemon merangue pie. She's in grade ten now. She's growing up so fast.

I can't believe how fast time flies. It feels like a lifetime ago that you two left us. I sure hope you're happy. You must be, I never feel you around anymore, so I'm taking that as a sign that you've moved on. I wish you'd come back for a visit, but I totally understand. I'm sure you're just so busy with your new friends. I miss you so much. My heart aches for you so much.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I love you. Love and miss you for all eternity. I'll find a small gift from you guys for Carly. She likes that.

Love Mum.

Love you girls.

Miss you so much.

Love Mum. Hugs and kisses.

Hi, Lynette, thank you for sharing your beautiful letter to your precious angels with us. It doesn't matter if it's the first day without them or 2 years or 10 years or 50 years -- there is always a void in our hearts letting us know that a very important part of us is missing. And no one and nothing can ever take their place in our hearts and lives while we continue our journey on this side of eternity.

How would Carly feel about a cookbook for companion animals - - homemade biscuits, etc., from the pups? Do you think she'd like that - - perhaps along with another cookbook for "human" recipes? It was just a thought as I was re-reading your post.

Lynette, thank you so much for sharing with us how things are going. Life goes on, true, but not the same way when someone very important is not physically with us. But your precious angels are forever with you, Lynette - - even when you can't "feel" them close by. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how things are going for you.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thank you for your kind words Moon Beam. I really appreciate it.

Hi my precious angels.

I hope you're both well.

Hunny, they're playing your song on the radio. Lily, they played yours this morning. They sure tug at my heart strings. I miss you both so very much. I miss you everyday babies. I wish I could hold and kiss you again.

I love you angels.

Talk to you later. Love you forever.

Hi, Lynette, just stopping by to say "hello" and to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you always feel the presence of your precious babies close to you. And may you also feel the comforting encouragement of each of us with you, too.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hey Angels.

Missing you all so very much. Love and miss you babies.

Love you.

Love forever and always, Mum.

Hi my precious Angels.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy Christmas and that I sure wish you were here with us.

I miss and love you so much.

Hugs and kisses.

Love Mum, Dad, Carly, Izzy, George, Barny, Casey, Smokey and the cats.

Hi, Lynette, it never matters how much time passes without the physical presence of our beloved companions with us, does it? They are forever with us in our hearts - - they are forever a part of us. As much as Lily and all of your precious companions are enjoying being with the angels, there is still a part of them that they are yearning for as well - - and that part is you, Lynette, when it is your appropriate time to join them in eternal joy. Hold fast to your wonderful memories, Lynette, as I know you are, for they help to bridge this time of physical separation.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Lynette, and will look forward to knowing how you're doing when possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi my precious Angels.

It's been a while since I've been here. Hope you are all well. Things are fine here, missing you all so very much of course. Carly is well, fighting a cold for the last few weeks though. She's at home today, or rather at Nan's. No school, it's exam week and she only had two, Tuesday and yesterday. All the pups are well. I think they're bored though. Especially poor Casey, she loves being outside so much and it's just been way too cold. George has been staying out quite a bit, but he comes in every night. They are all gonna have a bath tomorrow.

Not much to write about. Weather's been cold and we've actually had quite a bit of snow in the last couple weeks. No storms though. I can't wait for spring - winter is just too long. Couldn't get out of the drive this morning. We had strong winds yesterday and and it blew in a bit at the end of the driveway. Wasn't much, but I had to turn right and it's such a sharp turn - couldn't go too fast to plow through it. So, Carly got out and cleared the snow. It's warm today - zero! Just yesterday it was -16 and the day before - 20 something. The weather's been up and down all winter - strange.

We haven't really done anything since I last wrote here. Christmas has come and gone - nothing exciting there. Just another day. Carly loved the necklace that you gave her. She's got a part time job. She does a bit of babysitting now and then and she's been doing some catering with the neighbour in town. She likes it and it gives her some spending money. She enjoys spending!!!

Izzy got a new collar for Christmas. She was so excited - it was so cute. She's come such a long way Hunny - you'd be so proud of her. And I think the new collar was just another step forward. Casey loves the toys she got too, and believe it or not she hasn't destroyed them yet!!! With all the toys Barney loves a couple of gloves that I crocheted. He spends ages playing fetch with them. I think George misses his agility classes.

Oh well, that's it. Like I said not much been happening here.

Just needed to tell you all how much I love and miss you. And of course, wish I could hold you again.

I love you babies. Talk to you later.

Love Mum.

Hi, Lynette, stopping by to say "hello" and to share your love letter to your precious babies. And thank you for sharing with us how things are going for you. I, too, will be glad with winter's end. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Lynette, and will look forward to keeping in touch with you.

Peace and blessings,

Hi my darling Angels.

I know it's been a while since I've written on here, but I think about you all the time. You know I miss you all so very much.

Well, I can't believe it'll be two years next Monday since you left us Hunny. It feels like yesterday. The pain is still so unbelievable at times.

Not much to write about. Waiting for winter to be over already. It's been a very long one!

Everyone is well. The pups are doing great. We started taking them for walks last week - now that the weather has finally warmed up a bit. I had to dig out a couple of huge snow drifts a couple weeks ago. They were only a foot or so lower than the top of the fence and Barney was just hopping over! He's such a little monkey!!

Casey can't wait for the snow to be gone I think. She's waiting for the bugs and the birds to come back. She's going stir crazy in the house. You know how she loves to be outside.

Izzy continues to amaze me. She gets stronger every day. Remember how she was when we got her? She was so scared of everything and everyone - now she's just loving life. She still has her moments but she has changed so much. George has been spending lots of time at nan's. The goats were kidding and he just loves the goats. Agility starts up in a week but dad hasn't said if he's putting George back in or not. I would love to get Carly training him to herd.

Carly is good. It's spring break this week. I'm taking the rest of the week off. I think tomorrow we will go to Winnipeg, watch a movie and probably get her hair cut. I don't know what else. Baba bought her a kitchenaid stand mixer. Not sure if it's for her birthday or not, but if it is it'll be a long wait for her. She's excited of course. She's been looking at these since our mixer blew up a couple months ago. But of course, I'm sure Baba will be wanting lots of baking done now!

I'm so eager for spring to be here. I planted some tomato plants on Sunday. Carly is at nan's today and they are supposed to be starting some flower seeds. Just hope it warms up soon and that this snow doesn't drag on for another two months. We have so much snow this year. It's been years since we've had this much. Maybe that means that the weather will return to normal, instead of all this cold wet stuff we've been getting for the past three years. It would be so nice to have a normal hot summer for a change. Mind you the way it's melting now is probably a good thing. The slower it goes the less likely there will be severe flooding.

Well, guess I'll go for now.

I love you babies. I miss you all so very much.

Talk to you again.

Love always and forever, Mum.

Hi, Lynette, thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt letter to your precious Angels with us. Isn't it amazing how time goes by, sometimes we think it's standing still or perhaps going by so quickly - - and yet when we stop to take measure of the passing days we measure them by our "Angelversaries"- - the treasures of our hearts.

I truly hope and pray that you are spared any flooding as your snow melt continues. I live in Virginia, but I have friends who live in the New England region and have been very aware of how they have struggled through the winter blizzards, and now how some areas - - including the mid- and Northwest States are facing severe flooding.

Lynette, thank you so much for sharing with us how you're doing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to knowing how you're doing whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Thank you so much Moon Beam. It's so nice to hear your comforting words.

Today is Hunny's two year Angelversary. It's a difficult day that's for sure. I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. I miss her as much as the last time I saw her. And to think that it will be Lily's three year this June. I just hope that they are both happy wherever they are.

Hunny - Lily I miss you both so very much. Mammas - you too. I love you all so much. I will never stop loving you all.

Moon Beam - as far as the snow - we've been lucky compared to those out on the east coast and even south of us in North Dakota. Unfortunately all that snow from North Dakota heads our way in the spring. Both I guess you could say the weather seems to have been cooperating with a slow thaw - freezing out at night. So, hopefully there won't be too much damage for anybody this year. People on the east coast have sure had it bad this winter. Unreal!

I love you my precious babies. Talk to you again soon.

Love Mum, Dad, Carly, Izzy, George, Barney and Casey and the cats of course.

Hi, Lynette, thank you so much for sharing your precious Hunny's two year Angelversary with us. It is amazing how quickly time passes. The good news is that the memories of our beloved companions are always forever "young" regardless of how much time passes and age is added to our years. Please know that your precious beloved companions are happy and healthy as they keep loving vigil over you from heaven's perfect garden.

I'm glad to know that you're not in any danger of winter thaw flooding, and hopefully no other type of flooding as well. I hope life is treating you kindly, Lynette, and thank you for sharing with us how you're doing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and look forward to sharing with you how things are going whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Hi Angels.

I can't believe I haven't written on here since April 4th!!!

Hope you're all well.

Had some bad news yesterday. Poor Jessie has cancer. It's not officially confirmed yet, but I've suspected for a while. When Jeanie was over last year and she said Jessie had a lump under her arm and then she had a small growth on her nose. Well, she has big lumps on her neck so they finally took her in and Jeanie was told she has about six months. Poor, poor Jessie. I hope you guys welcome her with open arms when she leaves this world. She's such a sweatheart. She has no one else up there that she knows. She's gonna need you all so much.

Well, everyone is well. The pupperdoodles are good. We took George and Izzy to the vet Friday for their shots. Just wanted to get their shots, but had to have a complete exam to get them. Oh well, Izzy definitely had to have hers done this year. George too. $300 later. I guess Barney and Casey can wait till later in the year. They're all current anyway.

Carly is excited - only four weeks left of school. She is still hoping to go to England. Nan and Gramp haven't made any attempt to book their flights yet. I have my doubts. They're all talk!! Carly will be so mad if they don't go. She's already buying new clothes.

Well, the weather has been so crappy here. Another wet year. It's getting really bad. Gonna have to start building an ark I think. And it's been cool too - I sure wish summer would come. So tired of this crap. This is the fourth year! Dogs don't like it either, especially Casey. She loves being outdoors chasing birds and bugs. They've changed the forecast again. Sunny today, rain tomorrow and then cloudy for the rest of the week, which is better because yesterday it was rain for the rest of the week and lots of it.

Not much to write about. Things have been pretty quiet.

Anyway, I'm gonna go. I'll talk to you tonight.

I love babes and you know I miss you so much.

Love you with all my heart.

Love Mum.

Hi, Lynette, thank you so very much for sharing with us your heart filled letter to your precious Angels. I am so very sorry about Jessie. Please know that your precious Angels will be there to greet her when she reaches the Bridge and will show her all around the heavenly garden. She will be surrounded by so o o many Angel friends who will help her to settle into her heavenly home.

It sounds like life is treating you kindly, Lynette. Glad to know that your fur tribe is doing well. Here in Virginia the weather has turned unseasonably hot - - temperatures in the 90's - - whereas May was unseasonably cool and wet. I hope the weather improves in your neighborhood, Lynette, for you and your fur family.

Thank you again so much for sharing with us your beautiful letter to your precious Angels, and for sharing with us how you're doing. Please know you and your fur tribe, and Jessie, are in my thoughts and prayers, and will look forward to knowing how things are going whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,

Thank you so much for your comments Moon Beam.

I really enjoy reading them.

I hope life is treating you well also.

Take care.

Lynette.
