Okay...with hands shaking and heart beatingnrapidly...I took out the memory card and put in Hap o y Hannah's memory card WITHOUT driving to BFF Bobby and Verizon!!! Sooooo....needless to say.....I have a few! I real k y wish I'd had this Samsung Tablet for Happy Hannah's pics...it does a good job...even with me working it!!

Not sure what order these will be....but I also inclued Bodie, my little senior guy who transitioned this last week last year...II gave him his Christmas bone early and for a few moments he enjoyednit...that made us both happy!

The others are pretty self explanatory...if you can see em!

I so loved seeing all these wonderful pics of our much beloved angel Tripawds and quadpawds.......it helps us all to remember the better times we shared with them, and help the healing process for us all.....it did me a world of good to pour myself out about Polly, I miss that beautiful soul of a dog so much......

Alison, thanks for your warm thoughts on my girls, it made me smile....

Deb, take your time with your e-mail back, this is a crazy time for us all....and thank you as well for your kind thoughts on Polly, my spirits became brighter....

Sally, I am glad you were able to see Polly's video......Since I posted it, I have been watching it over and over again, and shedding some tears as well.......and as always, your kind thoughts lift my heavy heart.....

Hope everyone's Christmas was a good one, and only happy memories swirled around you today.....

Much Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly (& sweet Pearl too)

Ok so I had to have my daughter help me.  First Christmas without Jake was not the same. But... My daughter got me this beautiful frame with a pic of Jake. It was the first gift I opened and of course it made me cry. In case you cannot read it, it says...You have left my life but you will never leave my heart.  Second pic is the new pup Beau, my husband say's Jake brought him to us, yeah ok. 3rd pic is our pack. Beau- 16 weeks, Logan 8 years and Toby 13 months. Don't know how my 15 year old kept them still to pose but she did.  Though it will never be the same without my heart dog, there is never a dull moment in this house! Also got a coffee mug " Local Woman Named Dog Mother of The Year".  Probably never be human mother of the year lol but that's ok.  Hope you all had a good one despite the HUGE loss!

How sweet to read all of these memorials to these wonderful angels. Harmony left us on Nov. the 1st, and I've been in a daze ever since. But look what I found at the store yesterday on clearance.

Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

LAURIE! The first present you opened??? OMD!!!!! Nobody could ever "top" that treasured gift! What a beautiful, beautiful picture of your Jake, and with a lovely little sentiment...and so true!

Yep, Jake was certainly present with all of you this Christmas!

And Beau is adorable! I absolutely agree with hubby...Jake sent Beau just to keep things interesting!!! And I bet he does! Would love to see more pics of him!

And that's a really sweet photo with the whole pack. You have a Hallmark Christmas card right there! I like how the "mature" Logan has the two youngsters separated....wise move!

And that mug you received? Yeah, that's like winning an Emmy or something! Yeah, I'd take Dog Mother of the Year over any other "award"!!!

Thanks for the sweet post Laurie. And give your daughter a hug from us for giving you such a perfect gift!

And still.....that avatar picture of Jake....that can never be topped!

HARMIPONY's "cookie jar" is DEFINITELY a connection from Harmony! I love how she gives you REALLY clear messages so you can have no doubts!!! And the timing could notnhave been more perfect to have such a great way to store dog cookies! Itnjust proves...yest again...that Harmony is watching over everyone!!

Hugs to all!

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!

Laurie, what awesome gifts you got to help you through this very difficult Christmas, believe me, I do understand......and I also think your new pup Beau is adorable, give your heart a chance with him......Although no pup will ever replace Jake, or even come close to the bond you had with him, I just know Beau will grow on you before you know it.

And Pam, what a glorious find with that amazing gift you found in clearance.....definitely a gift from Harmony......I had a few tears run down my face when I looked at the picture of it that you posted.....she is with you and always will be.

Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly

So very sorry so many were facing that first Christmas, but oh how I enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading about the sweet angels. Such loving memories.  Tripawd pawrents are THE BEST!
