February is not a great month...

I have been in a funk lately but didn't know why. Only today I realized that it has now been 5 years since I lost Joy (16 February 2007) and 2 years since I lost Pax and Jordan (17 Feb 2010). Maybe February is not a great month for me...

And now a friend just lost her beautiful border collie Jessie yesterday on 19 February. Gone too soon... Another special dog that will be greatly missed....

And it seems only yesterday that Spooky was competing with Johanna for the first time in the UK in 2002. Now he is gone too soon as well...

We have these little souls for such a short time and I am so glad to be around people who cherish their dogs as much as I do. Enjoy them while they are here and give your dogs a special hug today.

Oh Bernadette, my heart aches for you. It is SO HARD to lose such special little souls who give us SO MUCH. Much love, always, my dear friend.... Connie

I feel with you.
I lost my 14year old Husky "Gally"on 7th this month. She was my soul mate and I miss her so much.
But nevertheless I am also grateful for all the Joy she brought into my life.
And thats what helps all the funny moments we share with our true compagnions.

Bernadette, so sorry for missing out on your Blog and the beautiful photos of the Angels who are now at Rainbow Bride... I've had bad health struggles in Feb...But I did send tons and tons of cheering prayers for your March Crufts and had the calendar highlighted.... From grief to boundless joyous celebrations. Like life isn't it? So thrilled for you and Zaz and waiting for your wonderful update photos and future blog entry on this very special moment. I caught a few of Zaz's brilliant runs on Crufts link, hurray on this! I'm sure the pup angels were cheering little Zazzy and she looked sooo fast on video like a little rocket launcher...Bless her! and so Many Congratulations to you...

I guess, February may not have been good to you for the past years, but we can always change things, right? I hope all is well with you and I know you're still in pain now.
