... I will be the happiest dog flying freely from cloud to cloud with my beautiful wife Eurydice 💗💕🐮🕊💕💗 ...

Oh Eurydice! What an exciting turn of events!! That looks like the most marvelous visit... and you snagged a husband in the process 
Teresa, that must have been an amazing visit, and you always take such wonderful pictures 
Husband and wife are inseparable now 💘💘👰🏽🤵🏽💒🥂 🐶🐄💘💘 It is nice to know that they have each other up in the clouds. No doubt they are tickled to know that you are now all family, such a sweet story.
Thank you for sharing, I popped in and out this afternoon from work to try and keep caught up!
Bunches of hugs and love,
Jackie

I shed a few tears just now, as I knew I would. It seems like yesterday that you, Teresa, were trying to brace the German weather and that you saw and accepted Manni for who he was. Yet it was a whole life ago.
I knew the two of us were related even before this. Thank you for sharing Manni for me, thank you for keeping him alive and thank you forever for making the effort to come see us while you still could and for being there for me after.
Love you girl.
Guardian of Manni the Wonderdog. -Or was it the other way around?
Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
WOW! Just WOW!
So, as you know Teresa, I like to wait until I can really sit diwn, relax, get my bowl of popcoran , (or carton of ice cream) and get fully immersed in Eurydice's travels with Pedro and Woody. No way I want to rush through all these glorious adventures with such beautiful sights, yummy foods and historic places I will only get to see through your journals!
Weeellllll, I started with "page 20" just to get my bearings and see how far back I needed to go to catch up with my last "travel destination" visited.
I DIDN'T GET PAST THE POSTS WHERE MANNI AND MISS COW GOT MARRIED!!! OMD!!! SPECTACULAR!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thank you soooo much for taking us on their journey step by step as they professed their love for each other through marriage!! Bells are ringing in joyous celebration! Cow bells of course!!
Teresa, I know your connection with Eurydice is truly NOT of this world. To be able to share her on going experiences, to be able to tap into her energy, to recognize she definitely is ALIVE (just in another form) just validates why you two came to earth together! Through these journals you jave captured "the new kife form after we transition" in a way that you two were destined to do.
Eurydice CONTINUES to enlighten more Souls than you could ever imagine! Her Soul is shining her never ending light of grace and wisdom on us all.
Love and light, and always with a grateful heart,
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Omd, that is just THE BEST Sally! I wish we could have been there for the Margaritas too! Just a beautiful thing, I can't even find words like you can, just too awesome!

Jackie, Tina and Sally 🌺🌺🌺
I ADORE you girls to bits 💗 me and Miss Cow 🐮💗
Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement and for being on this trip with us, you are just marvellous 💕
Jackie, sweetheart, you are such a wonderful person I feel I know you for a long, long time !
Miss Cow is always saying to me how sweet and enthusiastic your comments are, she says she's "checked you out" in your home turf already (great to be an Angel and being able to fly anywhere😉) and you are definitely one of us 👍🏽
Tina, sugar bun, yes we are related and what a pleasure that is 💗
Your approach to Manni's cancer was the same as mine, we stopped at nothing to try and find anything and everything that could give our babies more quality time with us.
I honestly thought Manni would bury us as he was an incredibly though cookie but then again marrying my Angel probably made him want to go and live with her in the fluffiest cloud in the sky 💕💨💕
Meeting Manni and you twice was something I will never, ever forget ... plus he slept with me when we first met !
Knowing Manni one would have thought that was not possible and yet ... there he was, even tried to jump into bed with me but sadly the bed was ridiculously small ...
I loved him from the start, his strong personality, his independence, the fact he would not make friends easily ... he had a HUGE heart 💗 but would save it to very few humans, the "chosen ones" 💗
Sally, darling honey bee, how can we thank you for providing a belated wedding cake 🎂?
Not to mention organising the Cow bell chorus 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
When the honey moon is over, they will have the biggest celebration up in the clouds with all our other Angels 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm sure that will translate in the hugest storm ever recorded here on earth, hurricanes, lightning and lots of rain (harmless, of course) and nobody apart from us will know this is actually THE pawty: hurricanes will be created by the wind following their spins and turns as they all dance, lightning will be their laugher and singing and rain will be the overflow of champagne and margueritas 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹
Me and Miss Cow are still together, yes, she just took another form, energy form, but she is as fit as a fiddle and deliriously happy up there in the sky 💗🐮💗
LOVE YOU girls 😘😘😘😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

This is a real joy to catch up on Woody's and Pedro's travels with you and Angel Eurydice. It's wonderful to revisit the places you were with Eurydice last year and again meeting up with your dear friends.
Thank you for telling us about Marcos and the loving way he raises his dogs. They really become members of the family and his love for Eurydice is heart-warming.
Even a marriage. Now you are not only heart-related to Tina but legally related. In-laws, how lovely you have made that connection. This is one of many things our tripawds do for us.
Thanks for sharing your travels and memories,
Kitty cat cuddles,
Kerren, Eli, and Tripawd Kitty Mona
