I posted today, November 18, 2016, at about 9:00a, "I am so hoping that I get Brandy's ashes and paw print today. I don't want to wait over the weekend. I don't want to wait any longer." 

...... 
And guess what?! 

I got her ashes and paw print today! 🙂  

...... 
I called the vet at about 1:20p cst to see if they had received Brandy's ashes yet. They told me they got them this morning. So about 1:35p cst today I went and picked up my baby's ashes and paw print! 🙂 

...... 
At 2:30p cst today, I posted these photos:

Well, That wraps up Brandy's timeline. 

Thank you all for helping, loving, being there on this crazy journey Brandy and I went through. It means so much to me!

Ok, I lied. She still has a little more to add onto her timeline. 

This card just came in the mail for me. 
It's from her vet (well, the head dr at her vet, who happened to be the one who did her amputation) and the staff at her vet. 🙂

What a lovely follow up from your vet. I'm glad to see that you're coping okay and getting some closure. We're still here.

Not the "end" of Brandy's timeline at all! She is still having a huge impact on us all! You are doing a stellar job of continuing her legacy by posting here. To think that, because of Brandy, kitty lives will be saved because they will not be giving these vaccines and that is profound!

Brandy DEFINITELY lived a life of meaning...a life that made a difference, and will continue to do so!! She picked you to help her continue her mission!

I'm glad you have Brandy back home with you. I know I felt comforted everytime I was able to bring my dogs "home". The pawprint is so sweet. I've not seen a delicate heart shape like that before. Very nice.

Ya' k ow, there was something else that I noticed as I read her tribute and saw her photos. Even after
the surgery with all the hurdles, Brandy had some good extended quality time with you! She got more time to snuggle and cuddle with you, more time for head scratches, more "nom, nom, nom" time, more time on the coucw with you, not to mention more time for spoiling!!

Even so, any rough slots she may have had durie recovery were nust a blink of an eye co lared to the thousands and thousw of happy days she had with you! And you have pictorial proof of all those happy days!

Amanda, we understand the void, the break in routine of the hour by hour care you can were giving Brandy, the siley, the emptiness, the heartbreak. Everyone here knows how devoted you are to Brandy and she to you. Everyone here also knows yiur bond is truly unbreakable!! You two will always be connected!! She knows you will grieve, but she wants to see your happiness return as you remember all the joyful fun times you had! She wants you to remember her favorite sleeping position pose and smile.

With love

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!

Woooaaaah me neither! I'm so glad you came back. How have you been? Has Brandy been leaving you signs that she's not far away? 

I'm sad that your Facebook hosted photos are gone. I'm not sure why. Did you change accounts? If you'd like help adding images to this post just let me know OK?

Hi Amanda! Really good to hear from you. I was thinking of you and Brandy just the other day. Will certainly be thinking of you both tomorrow. I can’t believe it’s been a year either. Brandy made such a huge impression. She will always be remembered here. 

Sending love,
