It's been a while, but I just highly recommended this group to someone, so I thought I'd say hello to those who remember me (And those who don't). Hopefully the person will come find this wonderful site. There's so many people here and Tripawds I still think of foundness. I would say I'd try be around more, but my life is always way too busy and I know I won't. Some day I will be done with school and have more time? Maybe? (That's assuming I don't immediately take on a bunch of extra other stuff).
Also, Floyd passed over the rainbow bridge August 23rd. It was a tough one. I still miss him so much obviously. He'd really settled down and finally gotten comfortable with life the last year or so. I'm glad we reached a point where he could mostly trust people. When we knew we were near the end we took a trip so we could get him to the beach. He couldn't do much, his mobility had gotten too bad but he did love it. (Second picture). Especially the day that was colder and windy and I am sure reminded him of our old home. He stayed his ridiculous self to the end. On his last day we offered him so many food treats, including chocolate. His favorite.... remained the romaine lettuce he has always loved.
Awwwww it is SO nice to see you here, but my heart broke when I saw that Floyd is now with Cora. I'm so sorry!
You did so much to give him the great life he deserved. It's beautiful to think he and his sister are together again but losing such a big part of your life is sooooo hard. Even when we have a dog who is sooo challenging with so many issues, it really does make it harder to lose them doesn't it? We just spend so much energy on their emotional management and when that's no longer our job, we can feel so lost. Well, at least I know I did when we set Wyatt Ray free. My condolences go out to you.
So what are you up to these days? Are you still working in the vet field? I hope so! You are incredible with animals.
Everypawdy, you have got to read about Floyd's sister Cora for an extra dose of inspawration today.
It is good to hear from uou, even though we were sad to hear about Floyd heading to the . Bridge
Rene said everything so well and, as always, with such heart.💖
You gave Floyd a besutiful send off as he ran free to reunite with Cora. The life you gave Floyd, and sweet Cora too, was so full of love, devotion and such exquisite care.
These pictures are so sweet. I love the gray fur on Floyd's muzzle. I read something along the lines that a dog's for turns to gray because all of the kissing through the years has rubbed the color off.
I know Cora and Floyd are your special Guardian Angel's watching over you now, just as you did here on earth for them.
Cant remember what other dogs or cats you might have with you now? If you don't have any right now, I'm sure some lucky dog or cat will find their way into your loving home.
Sending extra hugs to you
