He would've turned 12 years old with his brother, Teddy, on September 3. I loved reading the story you wrote about how you got him and his life with you. Isn't it incredible how these sweet dogs are a part of our lives and so touch our hearts. Many hugs to you and your family.

She knew how very much you loved her! I lost my saint, Abby (10 1/2 and she wants you to know it!), two weeks ago. You could have written my story. I returned from a trip yesterday and *sob* no slobbery friend to wag a tail in greeting. But, the moment passes even if the melancholy lingers as I focus on good memories and tell myself what a gift she was to us. Love your other furballs and tell them all the time about Dakota.Contagiously Craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981241377375722027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392927843471879658.post-1427879784311310422015-09-22T02:59:32.739-04:002015-09-22T02:59:32.739-04:00You certainly touched my heart with your post.

Ou...Lori, I am so very sorry to hear about Dakota. Our furry family members hold such a sweet, special, dear place in our hearts. Sadness is not a strong enough word to describe the pain felt when one of our loves pass on.<br /><br />A friend of mine talked to me after a furry family member passed away too young to cancer: she said that although it seems unfair that our furry members lives are so short, they are all making a sacrifice. A sacrifice for those that are not as fortunate as our loved ones. Some do not have the same loving homes as ours- they may face a life of abuse, neglect, hunger, pain. All of our furries have decided to accept a shorter life span for those that are not so lucky, not so loved. It is a sad but beautiful thought. They bring our lives so much joy and love. I can see them sharing love for those that they have not met by ensuring a shorter life span and less suffering for others. My friend explained it better than I did but I do hope that makes sense and I do hope that brings you comfort.<br />My heart goes out to you and your family, Lori.<br />Hugs I'm a Little Teapothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807339783459755375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392927843471879658.post-32677363237621303962015-09-21T09:53:06.305-04:002015-09-21T09:53:06.305-04:00I am a dog "person" myself.

The gentle Sheltie had to be put down because of distemper at about 6 or 7. He was always raring to go and very active and loving. The playful and vocal beagle mutt lived to about 12 and died of cancer. We've not had a dog again but I miss both of them. They do have a way of stealing you heart away. I believe the sentiment of your card to be true. Beautiful card but I do believe your sharing stole the show.<br /><br />Hugs and Blessings<br />Jim Irish Cherokeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755473325320375338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392927843471879658.post-62900682005842865502015-09-21T09:52:58.409-04:002015-09-21T09:52:58.409-04:00My sweet friend, Lori, your card is absolutely bea...My sweet friend, Lori, your card is absolutely beautiful and so was your sweet Dakota!
