Thank you Dogster

Thank you Dogster for naming me a Diary Pick of the Day today.

My last entry was a hard one to write, and we still miss our dear friend Buttercup so much.

Even though we never met Buttercup in furson, we really are one big family on Dogster and we feel the loss of dear friends so much. Mom has developed many friendships here on Dogster and a lot of these dog moms and dads are now her friends on Facebook as well.

We know POTP works for us pups and kitties and I would like to ask for POTP for one of our mommas. Please send some positive thoughts and get well wishes to my friend Lobo's mom. We have our paws crossed for you momma Audrey. Look after your momma Lobo! Hugs!

Rest In Peace, Buttercup

Our hearts are broken right now as our dear friend Buttercup made her journey to the Bridge yesterday.

Buttercup was a rescue and was adopted into the most amazing family. Every rescue dog deserves to get as loving a home as Buttercup had.

Buttercup was an integral part of one of our favorite group. She started many fun games, was always encouraging when we had difficult times, and never forgot a birthday. We cannot imagine STAFU nor Dogster without this precious girl.

Buttercup, even though we are so very sad right now, we know you are finally healthy, no more congestive heart failure, no tummy problems, no kidney issues, and that you are running and playing at the Bridge.

Patty and Ed we are so sorry for your loss of this special girl. In missing Buttercup, remember you gave her a life of respect and dignity and she rewarded you with her devotion. May God give you more.

A new star tonight

There will be a new star tonight in the skies as my dear pal Woody made his journey to the Bridge today.

Momma J, we are so sorry for the loss of this special boy. You were a great support when I made my journey to the Bridge, and please feel free to call on my momma if you need to.

Woody, we love you and will never forget you. You have a very special spot in our hearts now and always.

Run free and healthy at the Bridge dear boy.

Thank you

Thank you everyone that sent those lovely Easter egg baskets to Buddy and myself! They look ever so nice on our pages and we hope that all of our pals had a wonderful Easter.

Power of the Paw for Kipper

Pals, my sweet pal, Kipper, has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He has gone blind from the tumor and is very disoriented. The pressure from the tumor is causing him to have nosebleeds. The doctors say there isn't much they can do for the little fella. We don't know how much time dear Kipper has and I know this is very difficult for his momma right now.

Much love to you Kipper and momma Linda. We are here for you whenever you need us.

Thank you once again

Thank you once again for the rosettes and pawmails you wonderful pups sent me on my gotcha day yesterday.

As daddy had to go away yesterday on another business trip, I made sure Buddy kept mom busy so she didn't feel too down.

Hugs to all.

The First Gotcha Day Without You

..... I shall see beauty
but none to match your living grace. I shall hear music
but none as sweet as the droning song
with which you loved me.
I shall fill my days
but I shall not, cannot forget,
Sleep soft, dear friend ...

It was 12 years ago today that you came into our family. We think about you daily, sweet girl, and remember the time we had together.

We love you, we miss you, rest easy dear Abby.

Thank you, Abbykins

Little girl, last night I had the most vivid dream that you came to say hi. You were scratching your blanket on the floor beside my side of the bed as you always did and you were circling before lying down. I actually got out of bed and touched the floor because the dream felt so real.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you sweet girl.

Thank you for the visit, Abbykins.

"...I could tell you the story of my life through the dogs I have loved. I could tell you the story of the losses in my life through their deaths. Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love and loyalty. They depart to teach us about loss. We try to replace them, but never quite succeed. A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big"

We love you, we miss you so much, rest easy Abbykins.

Thank you!

Thank you to all the pups that sent me Valentine Candy and other rosettes for Valentine's Day. It brought a tear to mom's eye knowing that I was still being thought of by my pals!

Thanks you all again. We love you all!

Happy and Sad today

I am looking down from my cloud today and I am both happy and sad.

I am happy because my good pal, Harley Diva-Girl is this week's Dog of the Week. What a pawsome choice she is! She is an awesome therapy dog and just a wonderful pup all round. Have fun in the Dogster spotlight this week, Harley Diva-Girl!

I am sad because my pawsome pal, Ty has joined me at the Bridge. Ty was dumped in his old age at shelter by a friend of his owner's. This friend was to have looked after Ty while his owner was deployed overseas. Luckily Ty found another loving home and spent the last three years being loved. Ty developed a Mast Cell Carcinoma and due to his age (15 years) and his severe arthritis, he was kept comfortable for as long as possible. Welcome to the Bridge sweet, Ty. Sending love and thoughts to your family at this sad time.
