Its hard to believe that my baby crossed the bridge 3 weeks ago. Man this is tougher than I thought it would be. Nobody believes it when we were told that this journey makes you so much closer to them. It really does. It has been getting better but I still have my moments today especially. All I can is I know she is whole and not sick. That makes me feel better but it doesn't stop the hurt. I know it will get better with time.
Today is just one of those days where it doesn't matter if its happy news or sad news I guess I am going to cry.
Missing you my sweet Sassy Sugar Bear.

We know how you feel Michelle, the anniversaries always bring tears, whether it's a 3 week or 3 month or 3 years. You have all of us sending lots of hugs to help you through all of them.
P.S. That first photo is one of my favorites of her.

Michelle, She is the cutest! I love those pictures of her - especially the drawing/painting. Did you get that done professionally? I would love to do something like that for Nesta. But I'm afraid it might be too late to get him at his best. Sending love your way as you remember and miss your new beloved angel. So difficult I am sure. Not looking forward to this...

I have a friend who is an artist. I just had Jill's portrait done for Erica and Karma is having Brendol done. I just saw the finished portrait on fb. All Taylor requires is a really well lit photograph. It can even be a young Sir Nesta. He does everything in graphite pencil. If you decide to get one done tell him I sent you. ( I don't get anything from it just knowing my friends & family on Tripawds got a great drawing of their baby)

Michelle,
Thank you for this information. I will most definitely look into this. I was looking for someone who could do this. I should have known I would find a good dog artist through Tripawds.

Michelle, I must be channeling your sadness, I'm crying over every story (happy or sad) as well. I've been thinking of you and Sassy often and I swear her banner is on every time I log in. Hang in there, we've all got your back
