Three weeks today my precious Flossie since you crossed over the bridge.

You were the bravest little fighter I have ever known. So many battles you had to fight in your life. From back surgery at 3-1/2, kidney removal at 11-1/2 as well as various other life threatning situations to the return of the back/rear leg problems the last month of your life.

I could no longer watch you as you tried so hard to once again overcome the hand you were dealt. You never gave up and I knew you wouldn't. I hoped many nights as I laid beside you that you would go peacefully in your sleep but your will and heart were so strong I knew that it would have to be up to me to give up for you. If the time was not right, please forgive me Flossie. I did what I thought was best for you my sweet girl.

Flossie, I miss you more than anyone can imagine....... You will be in my heart forever..........

Judy,

Thanks once again for your message.

Another sign from Ladybug yesterday. We have a home based business that puts up signs for a new baby in the yard. Michelle & I did the one yesterday together and she got out of the car, walked to a spot to see if that was a good location for the sign and a small kitten that looked just like Lady RAN to her & started purring. That kitten was all over her the whole time we were there. Of course it belonged to someone & had a tag with a name & phone number but we took it as a sign from Lady that she is a kitten again. There was a black cat looking like my Doofus also but he didn't come to us. Just hung around. They were from the house right next door we think.

Last night for some reason when I looked at the picture of Flossie that Michelle had framed & put by my recliner, I just began to cry. She is looking right at me in this picture. Today is one month. Some days it seems longer & some days it seems like yesterday.

Yes, those new ones do distract from the loss as well as entertain & work their way into your heart with their antics don't they?

Miss Flossie ................ you were the best dog I ever had and fought such a good fight for so many years just to be with me. I found that sweater that you hated to wear but would suck on to go to sleep. I'm keeping it though it is full of holes. Also your little bunny toy that you loved to shake.

Have fun my girl, till we are together again. I love you and miss you.
