Hi, Jan, thank you so much for sharing your anniversary of Noushka with us. The anniversaries are hard for they bring home the reality of how much our lives have changed - - how much we are missing in our lives and hearts. What a beautiful baby Noushka is - - wearing her ribbon, too!!

Jan, you have wonderful memories of your precious Noushka and Tasha, and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Jan, what a great pic of Noushka. I will be thinking of you as the one year mark comes, the milestones are always the hardest.

Lovely poem Anna.

Hugs,
Sonya

Thanks everyone who replied. Tomorrow is looming. It was Tuesday night after the bank holiday, this time last year, that we took Noushka to the vet. She had to stay in for tests and treatment for Pneumonia, which the vet said was treatable but would take some time. She left me sometime during that night or early hours of Wednesday, I can't be sure. The vet just called me Wednesday morning and told me she hadn't made it through the night.OOOh it was the most dreadful phone call, I can still feel that knot and pain in my heart when she told me. She wasn't very compassionate, and upset me even more, hence we now have a new vet for Pixie. The worst and most terrible thing was that I wasn't with her. Bless my little sweet darling. You know our story from my early postings.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me during this last year.
Love and hugs to you all and your sweet Angels and fur/feather babies.
Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

I am thinking of you Jan as that one year mark approaches. I hope it finds you with happy memories and not sadness. Doesn't it sometimes feel like just yesterday and other times it feels like eternity? It's such a strange feeling for me....sometimes I even feel detached like none of it ever happened...be it all the good years and the last sad moments....sometimes none of it seems real.

Hugs to you and your fur angels who are chasing butterflies in heaven together,
Sonya

Hi Jan, just checking in again. I've been thinking about you, and your darling Noushka, and the approaching 'anniversary', a lot. I know it's going to be a tough, tough time. Noushka's spirit, and energy, and love, will be right there with you

Hugs - Cheryl xx

Dearest Jan, I have a message for you from your beloved Angel Fur Kid Noushka. She's so gosh awful sorry to be this late for your Angelversary together and has been working on something very special to give you. It's been three whole days. So worth the wait though. Ya know that even when doggies, kitties, squirrels, bunnies, hamsters and so on are all thrilled as can be when they get to The Rainbow Bridge ... Well ... They still don't have opposable thumbs and that makes it rather difficult for them to use a key pad. However, they do it though by golly! Noushka said how much you love roses and still take them to her lots of times. That makes her smile in a major way! So, she wants to give you some beautiful roses today until she's done with her other message.

Jan, Why the heck do all these critters at The Rainbow Bridge think I'm a delivery person? Perhaps it's because of my wings since I'm an Angel, too. Anyway, Noushka picked the dividers she knew you'd love then made the main image herself. She's really a very talented Angel Fur Kid! You must have taught her well, Hon. Oh, she told me not to forget to mention that she made the pearls, too. Yep, she remembers.

Pardon me a moment, Jan. "Noushka sweet baby, I'm typing as fast as I can. Just a second, cutie pie. Yes, I made the print in red exactly like you asked. You're most welcome, Dear One!" Okay, she requested that I step away from the PC so she can put the roses she chose for you here. That way you'll have them until she's finished with the other Angelversary pretties she's enjoying making for you ... "Ready? Take it away, Angel Noushka."



I'd better type my message to you quickly so that Noushka can have the PC back and continue with her other Angelversary images she's making for you. Jan, please know that I am with you in Spirit this day. You're in my thoughts and prayers more than ever because ... I know, Jan. I know and I weep with you. Yes, we all will most certainly see our Angel Fur Kids again on that One Sweet Day and be reunited for all Eternity. It's just not much of a comfort right now and may not be for a very long time. We miss their physical presence. I'm off to light more candles for you, Noushka and Tasha, too. Of course, also for your hubby Dave. I Love You!

Many Comforting Hugs and I Wish You Peace.

Always, Angel xoxoxox

Thankyou so much my darling Noushka, that is so beautiful. Please thank dear Dottie for helping you. You must have both been very busy doing that for me........ I love it. xx

Noushka, well today it is a year since you had to leave me and I've written a little poem for you. Please read it with Tasha and all our Angels. Mummy will love you always and forever. xx

Noushka, my Angel, my Heart and my Soul
Today marks a year since you had to go...
I've missed you and loved you and wished for you here
Not one day has passed that I've not shed a tear.

The one consolation in all of this pain, is that you're now with Tasha
Two playmates again
I have many fur Angels in Heavens sweet place
Each one loved and cherished and thought of each day.

Be happy my darling
Don't worry for me
We're together forever
A bond that won't break
Be Happy, chase butterflies at The Rainbow Gate

Oh, Jan, what a beautiful poem for your gorgeous baby She looks like an angel - and now she is an angel - watching over you, with you in all that you do.

Thinking of you today and sending you big, big hugs.
Cheryl xx

Thankyou so much Cheryl. Yes I used to always call Tasha and Noushka 'My Angels' , even when they were here on this Earth. Now they are my true Angels.
Hugs xx

Hi, Jan, thank you so o o much for sharing your poem to your precious Noushka, Tasha, and all your precious companions. I love the animations you have included in your posts - - they are so wonderful.

Jan, thank you also so much for sharing your beloved Noushka and Tasha with us. Anniversaries are reminders that we are missing the physical presence of our precious furkids, but they also remind us of the enduring bonds of love we have with them in forever time.

Jan, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I look forward to hearing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thankyou Dear Dottie(Angel) and Moonbeam and everyone for making this day easier for me.

Noushka I hope (you know who) likes her pink computer, I love it myself, but as everyone knows I am the 'pink lady'.
Pixie has been extra sweet today and given me lots of kisses, she even went and sat in the Garden in our 'special place ' where my Angels are ,
and guess what, when I looked near her there were two beautiful, small white feathers......

Good Night and God bless my darlings Tasha and Noushka, Sooty and all our Angels.

I'm thinking of you all and sending hugs.
Love Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

And, I just read what you wrote in Animal Moments of Awe. So, I asked Dottie to please step away from her PC and then I put something there just for you! Go and lookie. Okay? Dottie wants to blow you some kisses while I'm at her PC. Go ahead Miss Dottie and thank you for letting me use your new and improved pink computer. You gotta love the pink computer. Pretty! Okay, Mommy go lookie what I put there for you. Oceans of Love, Hugs and Kisses from me, too!!!

Thanks again my sweet fur Angel Noushka. You are keeping Dear Dottie very busy but I sure do appreciate it. Big hugs for you and Darling Tasha, Sooty and all our fur /feather/scale Angels.
Love you and Miss you
xx

My Dear sweet Angels Tasha and Noushka, I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you so much. I have just been reading back over the year on your thread. All the wonderful , caring things that people said, all the poems and beautiful pictures and animations that were done to help me through this painful year. All the wonderful new friends that I've made.

To all my friends,I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your friendship. I think of you all often and hope that you are finding some peace. These last few weeks have been hard as it's been my Noushkas 1 year Angelversary. I have had some bad days again, going over everything again, but I know that my Angels want me to heal and to be happy.

Love and hugs to all.

And Goodnight and Godbless to my darling Angels. xx

Hi Jan--

Just wanted to write and tell you how much I miss our middle-of-the-night chat sessions. I really miss talking and laughing with you! I still come to Chst occasionally looking for you and others, but never find anyone there. Do you have a regular time that you visit chat?

Wanted to send much love to you and yours, and particularly to that big moose Trixie!!

Leopold is...well...Leopold. He is way more like a dog than a cat, but not really like a dog--more like a wild animal than a cat--more like a bipolar maniac than a normal pet. but he keeps me busy and involved, that's for sure. He's very sweet and well-mannered at night. Only at night!!

Sending tons of love to you and your;s, and everyone else around here--

Margi, Spiritwolf, and Leopold the Terrible

Hi there Mommy! I Love You! And, I'm still trying to figure out how to get all those presents for you in my picture that I want to give you. Unfortunately, Dottie ain't much help. Shhh ... Don't tell her that I said that. Okay? Thanks! Anyway, I asked her to download 3 more programs and she did. Well, I sure hope those will make it happen. Still, it's so much fun!

In the meantime, I've brought you a rose that I picked from our garden. Go ahead, you can take it from my mouth. Hehehe. And, I brought you more roses, diamonds, pearls and, of course, my Heart. I made the rose turn into my Heart just for you! I hope you like it, Mommy.

Now to get Dottie to fly away from her PC again so I can do my doggie magic for you!

Aww my darling Noushka you look so pretty, and thanks for the lovely Rose. Just what Mummy needed. Please say thanks to dear Dottie for helping you with all the lovely graphics, I love them all. Yes I love you and Tasha so much my darlings and Sooty boy and all my Angels, there's no doubt about it, I always will. Be happy at the Rainbow bridge my sweethearts.

Dear Margi
It was so good to hear from you. I think Ladywolf must have let you know that I was in need of a message as I went to bed feeling a little low, and sorry for myself. Yes I too miss our 'chats' and I still go to the room to check for you and others.... but always empty. I will check in again at 10.30 pm UK time and also 7.30 am UK time, if anyone is about, give or take a few minutes of course, I'll do that each day. I do hope to catch you and any of our other 'chatters' again soon.

Pixie our giant dog is doing fine. She seems even taller, but she's filling out a bit more and fluffing up into a very beautiful girl. Very wolf-like as were my darling Samoyeds. We are quite convinced that the cross is Samoyed/Akita as she is soooo big, bless her. A truly gentle giant who gets many admiring looks and comments. We watched a wonderful TV documentary the other night about the origin of dogs, called One man and his dogs. It was presented by our Brit' Actor Martin Clunes. It so made me think about you and Ladywolf as there were lots of wolves in it. What marvellous beings they are. Great viewing. Your Leopold sounds to have some 'wolf' in him too , Margi. If you can catch him, please give him a hug from me. Maybe he's a Cat/Dog hybrid , ha. He sounds great and so glad he's brought you his wonderful presence, the company that was so needed. Bet Ladywolf is smiling at his antics.
Well must get on as it's time for our morning Pixie walk. Pouring with rain again, so on with the Pink Wellies.
Love to all.
Hugs Jan and my Angels and Pixie

Hi Jan,

Just checking in on you. Sorry to hear that you've been having some bad days again. It's just a testament of the love you have for your darlings. I hope you feel their comforting presence near you always. Glad Pixie is doing well.

Take care,
Cheryl x

Thanks Cheryl for your words of comfort. I'm doing better, just not a good time of the year for me, but I am having good dreams and feeling the presence of my Angels, who I know are trying to soothe my troubled and aching heart, bless their sweet souls.

Pixie is a wonderful girl who is bringing so much joy into our lives. You can't help but love her, she is such a sweet character and lots of fun. She still won't play 'ball'. I don't think anyone had ever 'played' ball or other games with her. She just looks at it as we throw it and doesn't move an inch. She does love burying things in our garden though, and then spends ages trying to remember where she put them. Hence we now have a few huge holes in our flowerbeds. It's great to have physical 'doggy' presence again, and I'm sure my Angels will be happy for us all.

Dear Tasha and Noushka, thankyou for helping me over these few weeks. Next Monday it will be a year since dear NannaMin joined you, just a month after you dear Nounou. Please send your healing love to 'daddy' over these next days as he is sadly missing his 'Mum' and the next week is going to be very hard. I know you will all be together, Nanna loved you both so much. Pixie went to visit granddad yesterday, he loves to see her.


Well I will wish everyone a peaceful and good weekend.
Hugs
Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

Hi, Jan, just getting caught up on your posts, and I'm smiling about your Pixie liking to dig in the flower beds. Oh how I know about digging!! My Samson L O V E D to dig. When he was outside my mom and I would hear him barking and barking and barking and we'd go to the window and look out and there he was - - his sweet Border Collie butt up in the air tail wagging furiously and his front paws digging furiously dirt flying in every direction. We'd call him, and he'd look up at us with his tongue hanging out, dirt smudged on his muzzle and a big grin on his face as if to say "What, you didn't want a hole dug here?" And it wasn't just ONE hole - - when he got "finished" with one he'd move over a little bit and start digging another. Oh, what a rascal he was during his earthy journey, and I'd have EVERY MINUTE BACK if I could travel back in time. But knowing this isn't possible, I'm looking forward to the opportunity of being with him in eternal joy - - where I know he is digging to heart's delight!!! - - Helping the angels plant flowers in the garden!!! I know he's keeping his grandmother (my mom) great company, too!!!

Jan, it's always a blessing to log on and find your posts waiting for us. Thank you so much for sharing with us about your precious Angels. Please know you are frequently in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and look forward to knowing how you're doing and how things are going for you.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks dear Moonbeam, it was lovely to hear from you.
Talking about our dogs and digging, our Soot, black lab/GSD cross was the biggest digger . He created many 'craters' in his time bless him, and his favourite thing was digging up the beach. Sand used to fly everywhere so we had to make sure we were far away from poor unsuspecting sunbathers.
Tasha and Noushka loved to dig in the snow and used to have big snowballs on their muzzles when they came up for air.
Pixie looks so funny after a digging session. Her paws are so huge (just ask LadywolfMargi) and it looks as if she has two black boots on her front legs and a massive black muzzle. She certainly gets a bit carried away. Strange thing is tho' that so far she hasn't disturbed any of the spring bulbs we planted for Tasha and Noushka, or their flowering shrubs, it's as if she knows that part of the garden is sacred and definitely a 'no dig' area.
Thanks for telling me about your dear Samson, it's wonderful to share all the happy memories of our dear fur Angels.

Hugs Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

Hi, Jan, I'm laughing as I read your accounts of your precious Soot, Noushka, and Tasha. I used to tell my Samson that he could work as an excavator. Oh yes, I know about the snow digging, too. And when my Samson would come back inside he would have icicles in his personal areas and between his toes. So I would lay down a blanket or towel on the sofa, get some warm water and cotton balls, and would lay him out on his back and defrost him. And then I'd wrap him up in a dry towel and snuggle with him for awhile. Oh how he L O V E D that! I know - - I spoiled him terribly -- and don't feel one bit guilty about it at all!!

It is amazing how our furkids "know" when a place is not to be disturbed - - as a means of honoring their Angel family members. I do believe our precious companions can feel the Living Spirits of those who have joined the angels. I am so o o o o glad Pixie is bringing joy into your heart and home.

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing with me about your precious Soot, Noushka, Tasha, and Pixie, Jan. I know this is a hard time for you right now. Please know you are frequently in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and will look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

My Darling Angels Tasha and Noushka

Just wanted to say how much you mean to me and always will. I couldn't sleep tonight. I just kept thinking about you and missing you so much, so I got up at 3 am and came on here to find that it's dear Angel Alex's 3rd Angelversary. Dottie, and Anna and Sonya had all posted on their threads and it made me realise how we are all so 'connected' to each other on here, through you, our precious Angels.
I don't post on here so often now, but that doesn't mean that you are not in my thoughts and in my heart.
God bless my precious Angels. Mummy loves you always and forever.x

Jan,

What a lovely little note to your precious angels. And I absolutely LOVE the picture. They're sooo gorgeous, I wish I could give them both a big hug. It's easy to see why your heart aches for them so much.

I've been having a tough time this weekend too. With all the Christmas stuff in the shops, it's got me thinking about my first Christmas without her. It hurts. It's gonna be tough for us all on here.

Thinking of you and your angels,
Cheryl xx

Dear Dottie and Cheryl

Thanks for your lovely replies. Dottie you know just what to do to make me smile with all the beautiful animations and words and images.
Cheryl, I do hope that your weekend improved, and that the 'happy' thoughts of your dear Daisy gave you some peace.
How is the Uni' course going? I do hope that you continue to enjoy it. As for Christmas, well yes its just around the corner now. I so remember this time last year when Noushka had been gone only a few weeks. The thought of having a first Christmas with no fur babies in my home was very distressing. Everyone on this forum helped me through, and I know I wasn't alone in how I felt. We posted our pictures of our fur babies in their Christmas regalia, and it brought back lots of 'happy' memories.
I am blessed this year to have dear Pixie, who sure is Heaven sent. I don't know how she will take to wearing the reindeer antlers as my girls used to, but we'll give it a try, even if just for a quick photo shoot. The girls would only have them on for a few minutes, just to show the children and then years later, my oldest grandson...... ooh memories.

Dear Tasha and Noushka, I love you so much, and when I think of you both I get a great warm feeling in my heart. There is still the ever present 'ache', but the warm feeling is wonderful. It's hard to explain, but it's a good feeling. It lets me know that you are here with me in everything I do. God bless, my darlings.
Hugs to everyone here and all fur/feather babies and Angels. xx

My Darling Angels, Tasha and Noushka

Once again England is glittering under a white blanket of frost and snow. It so reminds me of how your beautiful hair sparkled and glittered in the light, as if the fairies had shaken their wands and sprinkled their magic 'dust' all over you.
Like you, Pixie is loving this cold spell, must be the Samoyed in her. We are having some lovely walks, and I just know that I have my little darling Angels running and playing at our sides.
Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye, and I remember how sad I felt this time last year..... Where has the time gone ?
I just wanted to say that you are always in my thoughts. I love you my darlings, always and forever...

Hi, Jan, I can see your precious Noushka and Tasha gleaming in the snow - - smiling as they played and jumped in the snow. I can just hear them laughing and gigling. And I can see you beaming from ear to ear with so much enjoyment watching them having so much fun. If you close your eyes, Jan, you will see them in heaven's perfect garden playing in the snow, and perhaps you'll see in their eyes the loving reflection of you that they carry with them - - for now. Someday that reflection will be replaced with a joyous reunion with them at your appropriate time.

But they are glad you have Pixie with you, and yes, their sweet Living Spirits are playing with Pixie and dancing all around you as you take your walks together.

Jan, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful letter to your girls with us. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks Moonbeam for your lovely words which are so comforting to us all.

My darlings Tasha and Noushka

Well, the tree is up. We have plenty of snow, and Christmas is just a few days away. I've been thinking of you both so much just lately, (Well I'm always thinking of you, as you know) But even more so at this time of the year. Pixie is helping me so much and I thankyou both every day for pointing me in her direction. She is a joy.
You are my special darling 'Angels' and I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much and I am so lucky to be your 'mummy'.
God bless you my sweet girls. Lots of love and hugs.
xx

Hi, Jan, just stoppiing by to say "hello" to let you know you're in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your heart's letter to your precious girls with us. I so love the gif art in your post of November 29 - - I can close my eyes and picture your Noushka and Tasha playing in heaven's garden chasing the butterflies and now - - romping in the snow fields. They are sharing everything with you and Pixie.

Jan, I do so hope the coming days will be very happy for you and your family. May you feel Noushka's and Tasha's sweet Living Spirits with you as you unwrap your presents and share the hours and days with all of your family. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and will look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks so much Moonbeam xx

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all friends here, both old ones and new ones. Remember that our darling Angels will be with us and watching over us and wanting us to be 'Happy'.

For lots of our newer friends on here it will be the first Christmas without precious pets who have gone to Rainbow Bridge and I send my love and prayers to you all. For friends both new and old , I do hope that you all find peace and joy this Christmas.

My Darlings Tasha and Noushka
I am sending my love and hugs to you and all my precious Angels who are with you.
Merry Christmas my darlings. Thinking of you, as always. Love you, Mummy xx

Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

Hi, Jan, thank you so much for your wonderful post, and please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

That was a wonderful post Jan, we couldn't have said it any better. Thank you for the kind words.

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that hearts will heal and that Happy Memories of darling 'Angels' will come to you, giving you comfort and peace. Our special soul mates will want us to continue our lives in a good and positive way.

My Darling Angels, Tasha and Noushka, I have been thinking of you so much and I just wanted you to know that I love you so much. Thankyou for making my life so good. I am truly blessed that you chose me to be your mom.

God bless my sweethearts.xx

Hi, Jan, greetings to you in this new year. It's always good to hear from you and to share your heart sent letters to your beloved Tasha and Noushka. Thank you so much for being here with us.

I hope life is treating you, Pixie, and all of your family kindly, Jan. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, and will look forward to knowing how things are going with you whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks so much Dear Moonbeam. I hope that life is treating you kndly too, and I wish you the very best for 2011.

There are many new, heartbroken friends on here, and I would like to say to all , that I am thinking of you at this very sad and desperate time in your lives. This time last year I too didn't know how I would be able to go on with my life. I missed my Darling Noushka so terribly, and it brought back all the memories of losing my precious Tasha 4 years earlier. I was really in a state of constant sadness.
I can honestly say, that I still miss my 'Angels'. I still have little cry now and again, but I can think of them in a 'Happy' way now. I can laugh at the memories of the sweet and funny little things they did, without bursting into floods of tears. It does take time though to reach that stage.... please take your time, and cry and shout and wail and rant, even if it's just to the understanding people on LS, there are so many of them. I couldn't have made it back to (near) sanity without them, and I thank them all.

My darling Angels Tasha and Noushka, sending my love to you both. You are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart.
xx

Hi, Jan, this grief journey is a one day at a time journey, - - a difficult "adjustment" journey to re-defining our lives without the physical presence of our precious beloved companions. Our lives change for the better when they come into our lives, and they change again when they precede us to the angels. The difference is we are blessed with the richness of their company to hold deeply in our hearts until it is our appropriate time to join them in eternal joy. But there is still this ache in our hearts that misses them, sometimes unbearably so. Thank goodness for this wonderful forum where we can come to find support, encouragement, comfort, and hope.

Jan, it is always good to hear from you and to share your wonderful memories of your Tasha and Noushka. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend, and look forward to knowing how things are going for you whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks once again Dear Moonbeam for your kind and thoughtful words. I have been away for the last two weeks and so haven't been posting on here, but I have now read through the new topics and replies. The reason we all come to this wonderful website is so heartbreakingly sad, but I repeat again, Thank Goodness for it. What a marvellous tribute to Tribble who is the reason this website was started. Thanks again LS.

My Darlings Tasha and Noushka, I know you send me your love and 'signs' every day. Just little things that happen that let me know that you are never far away. I know that you were watching over your 'human' sister over the last two weeks, my precious Angels. Thankyou sweethearts.
Pixie is settled in well now and we love her dearly. She has helped to fill that great big gaping hole that I had in my heart. It still aches for you both, but it is able to 'love' and that's what you both would want.

My heart goes out to all the visitors and members here who are grieving for their precious companions, or caring for them in sickness, also to the dear ones who are left behind when a companion has passed.

Hugs to all.

Jan and my Angels and Pixie xx

Hey,

I'm taking a Jimmy Hill tonight to sleep. This is all bollocks. I don't give a toss anymore. Just save me a kippers and herring sandwich. Blimey, what do you think the Queen is doing right now.

D.

Hey Dennis, dear friend, I just sent you a PM.I will pop into chat, right now. Thinking of you x

Oh dear I can't seem to get into 'chat'. Is it just me or is anyone else having the same problem? Could you check it out please Dennis, and let me know x

I did get into chat, I'll wait there for a few mins, but your Jimmy Hill might have taken effect, if so, have a good nights sleep Dennis, and hope to see you soon x

Hi, Jan, our precious companions do keep their vigil over us and all of our loved ones from their heavenly home. I do hope and pray that your daughter is healing well from the surgery, and that it was successful.

Even though it is grief that brings us here, it is our beloved companions who bring us together and through them, we find friendships that are enduring. Even though we do not "know" each other in terms of meeting each other in person, we know each other through our hearts - - for we have been introduced to one another through our beloved companions, and what better introduction can there be!!!

And so I thank you, Jan, for being here with us, and for your comforting friendship. And like you and everyone here I am eternally grateful for this wonderful forum. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and will look forward to knowing how you're doing.

Peace and blessings,

Thanks again Dear Moonbeam

Well today I remember our precious Soot, as it's 19 years today since he left us for the Rainbow Bridge. He was our first fur baby as a family and I have so many great memories of him.

I send my love and prayers to everyone who is grieving and all my friends on this great website.


Tasha and Noushka, I love you and think of you every moment, of every day. I hope you have met up with Sooty Boy, I'm sure you will have. x

HUgs Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Awwwww! Sooty looks like such a cheeky, happy little pup. I bet you have so many precious memories of him. It's beautiful that you still honour him after 19 years, and it proves that the memories and the love are ours forever.

Hugs, Cheryl xx

oh my, what an adorable little face, so much expression there ... because they each have their own language they share with us, i'm not sure what soot is saying but it reminds me of the expectant face i used to wake up to saying "are we going out this morning mum, are we?" there is also a slight wonkiness to the smile that adds cuteness.





as much as it is so incredibly sad that you were so distraught and broken, it gives some hope that you have found ways to feel much better without losing any of the memory of your angels. it does sound like you did the hard yards to get to that though, working through all of the feelings including what i end up calling the messy ones. it seems to me that makes you very brave and strong.

and now you have a new baby, i tried looking back to see how long it took for you to get pixie but i got confused and gave up.

anyway, sending you warm peaceful thoughts and thankyou for the lovely presence you have here

Thankyou Rainbohdi for your lovely reply.
Soot was indeed so cute. He was Labrador/German Shepherd. He was such a character, very big and strong but so gentle with our children. His coat was like black velvet and those puppy blue eyes turned the softest brown. Wonderful memories, of a wonderful companion and best friend, my fur baby.
In answer to your question, Pixie came into our lives 6 months after darling Noushka left us. She will have been with us one year on 20th February. She is adorable, and we feel very honoured and so lucky to have found her. We found Tasha 6 months after Sooty left us. We rescued Noushka when Tasha was 5 years old and they became the best of friends after a shakey start. God bless them all. They have given me so much and enriched my life. Each and every one of them has a special place in my heart and soul forever.

Hugs Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Hi, Jan, thank you so much for sharing your precious Sooty with us. I love his smile, and I know he brought much joy to you and your family. The chronological years of physical separation matter not - - our beloved companions are forever a part of us in our hearts and memories. The love bond is eternal - - and when we join them at our appropriate time in eternal joy all the time of physical separation will no longer be a thought.

Jan, rest assured your precious Sooty, Tasha, and Noushka, and all of your beloved angel companions are all together waiting patiently for your appropriate time to join them in eternal joy. I hope this will comfort your heart, my friend.

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Jan, and will look forward to knowing how things are going when possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks again Dear Moonbeam.

Today is the 5th Angelversary for my darling Tasha. She would have been 14 in the following April. God bless her, she was an Angel here on Earth, such a sweet, wonderful nature, now she is one of my Angels for all time. I can always feel her sweet presence, watching over us and sharing with us. Love you sweetheart, always and forever. Hope that you and Noushka and Soot and all our Angels know that you are here, with me, in my heart and soul.
