The New Baby Has Arrived!

hi everyone. a few months ago, i posted that my mom had found me a new baby. she was born september 10. i went to see the litter when they were about a week and a half old, they were so cute. there were three in the litter, and i couldn't decide which one was the one for me. i went home that night and sat by bubba's plant and asked him for his help in making this decision. i was so confused. that night, i dreamed of one particular puppy, all night long. in the dreams, we called her sadie. so, i called her foster parents the next day and told them which puppy i wanted. i went to see her weekly until she was able to come home. i brought her home on october 31. my little sadie has made herself at home and wrapped herself around our hearts. i have thanked my bubba for his help in sorting this out. i think he would have loved her, too.

and, now, i introduce to you all, the new arrival, sadie baby:

Sad News

it seems as if most of what i post is sad news. this time i write about sugar sweet, a very sweet shepard/sheltie mix we rescued from the streets last year. she was still just a baby then. she was just the sweetest little dog, it is unimaginable what has happened. last wednesday, september 19, some evil person gave sugar poison. at first, we thought the seizures were caused by epilepsy. unfortunately, we were wrong. sugar lost her fight for her life on thursday, september 20. i was unable to watch her suffer anymore and made the decision to let her go. i miss her sweet, silly little self. i am so sorry i wasn't able to protect her from this evil. i will never understand some people's need to destroy.

i love you sugar. please know how much we miss you.

A New Baby

[FONT=Geneva]i found out yesterday that my mom has found me a new puppy. for those of you who don't know, i lost my bubba on mother's day and i miss him still. this new chihuahua won't be ready for another 7 weeks or so, (he was just born on monday). i have been looking for something to fill the void that bubba left behind. it is sometimes a physical pain, this emptyness he left behind. a part of me is so excited to be having a new baby, yet another part of me is crying out for bubba. i am torn between feeling guilty and being happy that i will have a new baby soon. i know bubba would want me to be happy, and the fact that it is a chi would make him happy. i am just confused. the one thing i do know, is i miss bubba's presence. i miss his warm little body, his pretty face, his bada*** att*itude, and his love. i don't even know if i am making any sense here. i want this new puppy. i want to not be lonely anymore. i want to not cry when i think about this. why must this be so hard? any advice?

One Year Ago Today

it has been one year since my brat went to the rainbow bridge. i miss him so much. not a day goes by that i don't think of him in some way or another. with all the recent losses our family has suffered, i feel as if i am the only one who even remembers that today is the day.

i still remember holding you that last time. just listening to music and trying to hold on as long as we could. you will forever hold a special place in heart. no one will ever take your place, baby.

i miss you, brat. you will always be my first catlove.

Devastating Losses

my heart is broken and my world is shattered. on mother's day, my little chihuahua, bubba took ill suddenly and was gone in the blink of an eye. i still don't know what happened. one minute, he was here, the next he was gone. he wasn't even three yet. i am still in shock over this. and now, my sweet precious is gone. she passed away of old age today and my daughter and i found her. she was born just five months after my daughter. i am not dealing with this very well. i want to comfort my little girl, but i can't see through my tears. why must this be so hard? i am not ready to say goodbye. the past year and a half has been so devastating for my family. we have lost so much.

i miss them so much.
