oh Debra - I hear ya...the anger just pops up in unexpected (and expected) places...it's all part of the grieving process which just plain sucks, no way around it...it sucks. This is the place to vent and let it all out - there is no judgment, just tons of love, support, understanding and hugs too.
I took the paw print that the hospital did of Zeus' paw (and they did a fabulous job) and had it framed and had the plate engraved with "Zeus, Hero, Soulmate, Teacher and Best Friend". I even took a picture of his pawprint and had a small tattoo of it put on the inside of my ankle where he always used to lay his head...I have never had one done, but I know the idea was planted in my head by Zeus and I love having his paw print a part of me...with me wherever I go.
Hang in there kiddo...it does get a little easier with time. Almost 3 months into the grieving process, I have some good days too.
Love you
Heather

If Emily was still hear she would tell Codie Rae that having people bow to her Grace and Beauty is simply her due. She was a princess, after all.

Debra, you are so right.
We are abjectly sorry that we are a little behind the times realizing that Emily was a Tripawd Girldog With 2 Names. We sincerely hope that Spirit Emily will Grace us with her presence and take her rightful place as a founding member of our club. Emily was without a doubt a princess of the highest order and she was beautiful beyond compare! We would be so proud and honored if she would join us!

With pleasure I will accept for her. Thank you for including her! You would not have ralized she was Emily Grace because I only called her Emily or Em on here because it is shorter to type. She answered to E, Em, Emily, Emily Grace, Gracie, and Baby Girl.
