Something happened today... it totally floored me.

Flicka had a tennis ball.. he loves to pluck them.. and was happily doing so. He then stood up... with the ball.. and wandered around ''mewing'' pitifully.

THAT is exactly what Cleo used to do if you ''unburied '' one of her chews or toys from a place she had hidden them.

He has NEVER in 3 years done that... EVER.

I sobbed... its ok now... but heck.. she sure surprises me sometimes when she pops back like that without warning...

Today would have been Cleo's 13th birthday

'' They cant throw us away ...We have a VOICE ! " Part 2 !!!

This morning a big shock.... my beloved Cleo is 2nd Diary pick. Ironic isnt it that the one of the 3 who never knew a second of abuse or neglect is the one who is picked with her Diary copy /pasted from the Boys ones which carried the message.. ''They cant throw us away..''

But... maybe not so ironic.

Those with no voice can speak with the voice of one who had.

Those with no sight , shall see with the eyes of one who had.

Those with no hearing, shall hear with the ears of one who had bigggg ones !.

That is the point... we.. who survive and live blessed lives shall be the concience and voice of those who cannot do it for themselves.

They can't throw us away .

Say it LOUDER ......

THEY CAN'T THROW US AWAY !!!!
THEY CAN'T THROW US AWAY !!!!
THEY CAN'T THROW US AWAY !!!!

We have a VOICE !!!

Found out today that my pal TAKODA
won the Adopt 09 Grand Prize.

This is what I put in his Diary Comment...

'' ....Sitting here barely able to see for tears of love and joy

You ARE special.. so are your Mum and Dad.

So is your Angel Carol

I am just SO glad that you.. and folks like your Mum and Dad who have done and do stand up long and hard and loudly to campaign against the brutality get the recognition you SOOOOOOO justly deserve

Sending you all the love in our hearts...

THEY CAN'T THROW US AWAY !!!!

Hugssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

The 17th March is Cleo's 4th Anniversary at the Bridge,

There isnt a day she isnt tugging at my heart. It doesnt get easier or better... it just moves on.

Flicka and Lucas keep part of her alive.. and she lives ... bright and fine in my soul.

Tomorrow.. the 17th... she will look after me as she always does... but a little more so as I have a 2nd surgery for my hands.

Those who know me know my Mantra... All Will Be Well ... and it will.

Tomorrow.. my beloved Girl will come and be with me a little closer

I love you Cleo... nothing changes

Love

Mum

We care....

Firstly... wishing you all a Peaceful and Healthy New Year. Been alsorts going on not least of which was having an operation on my right hand (me Mum... not Flicka or Lucas !) I have just got the cast off after a month and now have a temp ... need to get my hand working again... the surgeon says I will stop hating him in 6 mths. Then I need my left hand done.

Things that should be easy arent !

That aside... it has been a year of harsh sorrows with losses of loved ones and a year of regaining health after a heart attack on LAST New Years Eve. Last night... I finally got the Champagne !!

Dogster has been THE best thing to happen. I have made good and true friends here . It is a place to support ... and be supported by wonderful people.

I had a surprise today... a wonderful small but very active group I am in gave me 2 awards. Top Administator (a shared award) and... PET OF THE YEAR .... I was stunned to say the least. I can only thank Minster (ID 577814) for making that Group and being Simply The Best!

My ''Boys'' are my heart and soul.. well you know that feeling... as are your Furs. That they have brought me to a special place and friends here... is beyond hopes.

My pals in a small forum I go in.. are the BEST also. Their love and care have made SO much difference

Thankyou... all of you.... for the heart and soul you readily share.

Wishing you a happy and Peaceful New Year.

The peace Armistice was signed 90 years ago to end the First World War. In the UK... where I come from (I now live in America) is it Armistice day.. or Rememberance Day. There is a 2 minute silence

Poppies For Rememberance


For the Fallen

by Laurence Binyon



With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,

England mourns for her dead across the sea.

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,

Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal

Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,

There is music in the midst of desolation

And a glory that shines upon our tears.



They went with songs to the battle, they were young,

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.



They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,

Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known

As the stars are known to the Night;



As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,

Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;

As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,

To the end, to the end, they remain.

We will remember them



In Flanders Fields

by Lt. Col. John McCrae, M.D. (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Well... this is my 1st year on Dogster (Cleo's is actually tomorrow as I didnt know you could have Memory pages ) . I have made wonderful friends... and met the odd liar thief and cheat... but the FRIENDS out number them MANY MANY more times.

This place has gone a long way to restoring my Faith in mankind. People CARE... people UNDERSTAND.

You dont have to explain WHY you still break your heart over a lost loved FUR many years later .... you can laugh many tears too over the tales of havoc wrought by a loved Fur... the destuffings... the drenchings in water.....

Thankyou folks.. its an honour and pleasure to know you .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok... All Hallows Eve is a special day for me... I am Pagan.. to the core.. have never been otherwise. It isnt a time of evil and trick ot treat to me... it is a time of peace and contact with the spirit of the Earth.. a time to lay things to rest for the Winter.

A Golden Retriever. One of many placed in various Senior centers by As Good as Gold--Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois. Now a Golden in another state needs help to stay with his owner of 10 years--he's lived at the senior complex for 5 years and now they got one complaint and want him gone.
Please sign the petition at:


LET GEORGE STAY

Target: Town Village Retirement Community, Tulsa, OK
Sponsored by: Jan Davis "Keeping the Elderly & Their Pets Together"

The reason for the petition: George, has lived with his loving companion for nearly 5 years at Town Village Retirement Community. He has given smiles and warmth to all that have crossed his path. Residents in the community know him by name and look forward to seeing his sweet face and being able to pet or walk him. Just recently a complaint was made to management about his size. Without hesitation management has given George 2 weeks notice that he must leave his loving companion of 10 years. Please sign this petition in favor of George and his elderly companion so that they might stay together and continue to bring not only companionship & love to one another but to many others who have come to know and love him in the community. I will post a picture as soon as possible. Thank you all for your support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

My submission to the petition

'' So.... a dog that has done NOTHING but good is to have his heart and soul wreaked in the name stupidity ????? I can only hope that whoever it is with the stupid idea also suffers that fate in their latter years. Also... if this is allowed to happen.. then those allowing it are no better than the senseless complainer.

If you follow the stupid path.. then chihuahua's may as well be Guide Dogs.. as the BIG dogs that help the blind might cause an accident... then of couse there are the Police dogs... lets make them small too... and the search and rescue... if you cant see the idiocy of removing a dog that has DONE ONLY GOOD....

I am disgusted. ''

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~

Nothing wrong with small dogs at all... but NOTHING wrong with George either. He has DONE NOTHING.


PLEASE SIGN .... make these ''Jobsworth'' folk realise they CANNOT cripple peoples lives with unilateral dictatorship and get away with it.

LET GEORGE STAY

The Price Of Love


October 8th 2008 6:45 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

There is something I am getting to grips with... it isnt a simple concept... I have lost too many I care about in my life...

The pain of loved souls passing can be agonising . I have no strong faith to carry me.. I have a basic belief that I will see those I need and want to see in another dimension .. either in this life.. or a next if there is one.

What I have had to seriously ask myself is if I would rather not have had those souls in my life.? Meaning.. I had none of the pain of their passing.

The answer is a deafeningly loud '' I NEEDED THEM IN MY LIFE !".

They taught me to be who I am

They gave me wings to Fly

They gave me the joy of Love.

If I want to be without the pain of their passing... then I have to not have them in my life to start with. I do not want a life that bitter and bare and empty.

I hate the pain.. I hate knowing the pain other souls are in. I hate the terrible diseases and pain that take our loved ones sometimes.

There IS no one without the other.... the only place that can be so is some science fiction Robot-World.

SO........ I will take the pain of the Passing... it is a small price to pay for all the LOVE that comes before.

Today.. the warmth of the past came to be with me. I found 8 photos of my Beloved Cleo. I have so little.. this even now makes only 14 photos... but 14 is better than six.

I cried a little.. and I got them scanned so I could have them on her page. I then made her a slide show. My Sweetest Girl brought me a Day In The Sun.

I will never less than love you with all my heart and soul Cleo.

What does '' The Love Of Dog'' mean to you ?


August 1st 2008 11:40 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

I was asked this by my dear and good friend Mica
http://www.dogster.com/dogs/504880

This was my reply ....


To me....
........ it is the unquestioning knowledge that they come ahead of just about everything else in my life. I chose to have them in my life so how could I not take that responsibility ?

To me ....
........ it means still crying for every single last animal I have ever had and had to lose. It means never forgeting one single second of their precious lives.

To me ....
........ it means standing up for .... with my last ounce of breath those who have no voice.

To me ....
........ it means holding on to those ''silken threads'' that connect us through all Eternity . Even though my faith is bruised and my spirit is hurting.... Why ? Because THEY never.... NOT ONCE .... had doubt about the fact I could love and protect them. THEY believed ... and believe in me and I have no right to let them down.

Three years today since you went to Rainbow Bridge...


March 17th 2008 6:18 am
[ Leave A Comment ]

Today it is three years since my Beloved Cleo went to Rainbow Bridge. I tell folk when their dear pet passes that it gets better ... but it doesn't. It just becomes ''different''.

Cleo .... you were and are my heart and soul ... the light in my world. I miss you terribly.
I dont know what to write,so I am just going to repeat what is on your Profile. It says it all.


'' I saw her adverised in a dog magazine . She was a pure black GSD aged 19wks. She was lovingly bred and raised on a small Welsh hill farm in the U.K ... the land of my birth although I have now moved to the U.S. It was a 600 mile round trip in black ice and freezing fog to bring her home . She was my dream dog... the one I had wanted all my life. She saved my life three times.

Cleo collapsed on Tues 16th March 2005..... I called the vets out .They got her back to the surgery ... threw everything at her. X ray showed 100s of tiny cancers in her chest. Vet said that if she hadnt been in such good condition (irony) she would have shown long ago... but she was never in pain .He thought that the hormone rush from her last season ,which had just ended , had triggered the collapse. Wednesday I went to the vets to be with her. Laid on the floor with her. Talked to her about the beautiful Welsh hill farm house where she was born... I sent her spirit back there. I called the breeder on Thurs... I always kept in touch and sent letters and pics at Xmas. He lit a lantern for her to find her way home and walked the dogs out to ''meet'' her on Thurs Her full name was Gaelic .... Caecilaltdu... means ''field where the spring rises''...she 1st swam in the pool as a 6week old puppy. She died in my arms ... loved, stroked and safe.... the last thing she heard was me telling her how beautiful she was She was only 8 1/2 and had never had a day sick in her life. it was all over in 24 hrs. At least she didn't suffer. She was the light in my soul .... a very special Lady. ''
