Harley, I think it's a beautiful idea, and your post has the tears sliding down my cheeks. :grouphug:
NOT morbid at all!!! I love it!! Wish I thought of this when Samantha passed a couple months ago. I like the star with the paw print in the middle. How precious and what a way to have her with you everywhere you go!!!!
Look not where I was For I am not there My spirit is free I am everywhere In the air that you breathe In the sounds that you hear Don't cry for me Mom My spirit is near I'll watch for you From the other side I'll be the one running New friends by my side Smile at my memory Remember in your heart This isn't the end It's a brand new start
My mom asked me the other day if I had kept any of Shelby's hair and I told her that I didn't even think about it. So today when I was on the phone with Le - I was sitting outside and looked over at the trash can we keep outside, and I've got a whole bag!!! When I gave her a haircut 3 weeks ago I put her hair in a bag and put it in the trashcan outside on the porch. Me and my mom are making a "Shelby" album. :grouphug: She's so sweet. I'm ordering the necklace today - the star one with the paw print on it. I hope to have it before I see some of you in a couple of weeks.
Thank you sweetie. You know how *tough* I am (not really) and this has been the hardest thing we've ever been through. Went to see M & R today and their dog "knew". He was very sweet and wanted to console me - of course it broke my heart. He looked at me as to say "Wher's Shelby". It almost killed me. We used to take Shelby to M&R's house all the time. M is going to e-mail me pictures that I took of Shelby and his pets playing and hanging out. What I'd like to do, since my mom is making a "Shelby Album" is to print this thread off to put into her album. If you have anything to add for me, DH, my mom or dad PLEASE post it here so I can print out the thread and put it in her album. I'd appreciate it VERY much. JS, I've saved your e-mail to put in Shelby's album for my mom and she says "Thank you" and "If you need any plants, let me know". Thank you guys so much. My heart is completely broken and know that for those of you (KC, JS, LE - I can't think of anyone else at this time, I'm sorry) who met Shelby know how much she meant to our family. The healing process is going to take - well - forever, but knowing that we have our 4042 families thoughts and prayers, we'll be OK. I can't thank you enough. I love you. Sandy
"Loss of a Pet," written and designed by Bobette Bryan, 2000. There's no best friend like a pet. A pet is always there for you, warm, friendly, dedicated to duty, and always ready to cuddle up next to you when it's cold outside. When God calls such a special friend home, you suddenly feel lost. You feel like something wonderful is missing from your life. For so long your pet watched over you, always guiding you and protecting you like a guardian angel. And indeed like an angel your best friend was sent to you from God. But even when God feels it's time for your pet to rest, your best friend is never really gone. The bond of friendship you created will live in your heart forever. And after the grief subsides the memories of the good times you spent with your beloved friend will again make you smile and give you comfort. And in the way of a guardian angel, your pet will always be watching over you from above, sending you its warmth and love.
Was surfing the Wake SPCA website and noticed they're having a Pet Loss Support Group this Sunday ... http://www.spcawake.org/site/Calendar?view=Detail&id=102764 Again, I'm so sorry about Shelby. She will always be with you. *hugs*
Harley I know you don't know me and I have been here for a little while. I post sometimes not a lot..but I have read more then post. I have followed a lot of threads and I have always enjoyed your post..I think your a trip and I hope one day I get to met you. Now for that, I may have never known Shelby, but I felt like I did reading all your post and stories about her on here. I'm sorry for what you have gone through, and I don't even want to think of the day that will happen to my babies. I'm a very big animal lover and I want to thank you for sharing Shelby with me here. I will miss hearing about her. My heart goes out to you and your family. oh, and I think the necklace is a very cool idea, go for it. :grouphug: Sheri
I just got her necklace - it's SOOOO pretty!!! The chain has some black marks on it so I'm sending that back and getting a new one OR I'll just to by a chain somewhere else.
