One year.. seeem like so long when they are gone from your side.. gone from the touch of your hand...... but you know what? They are never, ever gone from your heart!! No matter how much time passes.... and that is such a treasure that we all hold onto.. the love we had with them... the love we had for all of our four legged kids that we have had in the past.. mixed all together.. like a big goulash in your heart!!
When I remember now, almost two years later... I feel peace... not pain... and sheer overwhelming love when I think of my Franklin... and yes.. sometimes my cheeks get wet from the memories.. but they are great memories!! Memories of my Brandy and Brownie as well... they are always in my heart with me... and Ty is in yours...
Congratulations on getting through your firsts.. . and I hope you are celebrating Ty today with a smile... and we know a few tears!!
Do something special today with your pack... ice cream! pig ears! deer poop! lol
Christine... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Thank you Bonnie for posting today. Means so much you remembered. My hubby didn't when I reminded him. Sort of made me sad. Please, please don't ever feel guilty for not posting. Until you put it out there today, I had not noticed. You were in so much pain yourself. I am not sure I even posted everyplace right around Ty's death. We seem to have enough to feel guilty about on this journey. Please don't ever let that be a cause of guilt. I feel only friendship here. There were so many of us in that April and shortly before and after group. I think our pups are up there watching this friendship grow and loving every minute of it. Will I feel different tomorrow when I wake up and start the second year without him? Probably not, but I think the happy tears will flow a bit more and the sad ones, a bit less. That is how my boy would want it. Lori, Ty & Gang
TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.

That is so beautifully said Lori. That is the goal, and it's exactly what Ty would want.
We are thinking of you and sending lots of {{{{hugs}}}}}
