It is a great loss. They love us unconditionally, and we love them back. It is hard to imagine life without them. Condolences on your loss.

You'll be missed Gracy ole girl.

Enjoy your romp at the Rainbow Bridge with all your new dog friends. Mildred is the official greeter for CH pets. She's there for you Grace to show you around and introduce you to everyone.

Please dont step on her (Shes a short one)and tell her I miss her.

Sorry Carolyn and Jimbo. I know you'll miss her. Thoughts are with you.

Gunny's there right behind Mildred at the Bridge (he's even shorter). But she'll be in good company.

We buried her with her squeak toys on the back of our property where the rest of our animals are buried.

And I had a Twilight Zone moment last night. Yesterday, I went around and gathered up Grace's squeak toys (she has more than one with her so she might share with Mildred and Gunny), at least the ones that still squeaked (she didn't destroy them, but she did have a bad habit of screwing up the squeakers). Anyway, I was already in bed and I'm guessing LIttle Boy (cat) had gone bonkers up front and was playing, so I got up to see what he was doing. Right outside my office door, in the hall, was one of Grace's squeak toys. I swear on a stack of Bibles that it wasn't there earlier. If Little Boy found it, he didn't make it squeak. I think it was a message from Grace.

I'm so sorry to hear when people lose their pet family members. This was my reaction to losing my German Shepherd, Barney a few years back.

Suitable Remembrance by Scott Evans
----------------------------------------------------
How do I honor you my friend?
My endlessly good friend

By getting as excited about going for a walk down our street today
As I have any of the other days
To howl with delight at the idea and jump and spin
And anticipate all the great things we’ll see and smell

By loving a great nap position
Where you get your head propped just right
And your arm stretched out
With your legs in just the right position

By spending time sitting in my yard
Looking out vigilantly
But taking in the smells and the sounds
And the peace that a quiet evening affords us

By rolling down the windows and hopping in the truck
And letting the breeze blow against me
And really seeing what we pass by
And yelling out greetings to those we see

By getting excited at the sound of the turning signal
Because you never know what will be around the next corner
Even when you’ve been around that corner before
Things never stay the same

By sometimes just sitting and looking at each other and smiling
And seeing each other for what we are
A pack
Lucky to be enjoying a good cookie together

By acting a little mischievous once in a while
And doing something that people don’t expect you to do
But that when people think about it
They see, that’s just you being you

By loving all the people around us
And getting excited when “grammy” pulls up
And when “uncle john” walks in
And listening for the next car door

By putting your ears back in amazement at small children
Knowing that while they aren’t yours
They should be loved
And are just fun to look at

By giving sweet kisses
And taking sweet kisses
And graciously, delicately taking what is being given
For what it gives to both you and the giver

By never stopping being playful
And appreciating a good game of toss
Or whatever game
And always trying

By being authentic and never compromising
And speaking your mind

By loving a good hunk of shade on a hot day
And the time it affords to take it all in

By being ceaselessly graceful
In the package that was given to you

By being appropriately embarrased
At those things that can be embarassing

By walking the fences
And shouting out to the neighbors that you see out there

By feeling a little funny when the pack isn’t all together
And thinking about those that aren’t here

I was very touched by Scott's addition. We lost our golden retreiver in March and it brought back such warm thoughts. Although we have a darling puppy now , it was nice to remember the many years and times with Emily.
