Thanks guys, and yes those spots are from the spotted one...
It just so happenes when i get the lawn growing again, she hits the same spot. Gotta love her.



Did you guys notice in this pic, half way down on top of her back, the HEART spot...
No wonder she is a love dog, and has a lot of heart :!:
She was also posted in the second DEEP issue, match the dog with its owner contest. Take a look, that meant a lot to me at that time. She almost passed away around that time.

Hey everybody! I wanted to come here and just write & also wanted to tell you all that I have really appreciated ALL of your pictures and kindness and love for doggies in this thread. Today the 23rd of July is 2 years since Surfer died. Its been a weird exxxperience and one that I am not over but have learned to live with. Seeing all the pictures in here TOTALLY hits the spot when i need doggie comfort.

I cant say Im 100% better becuz, I guess this takes time? However, I dont cry as often as i used to. It still hurts like hell and i find myself going to the doggie section to buy scooby snacks and doggie food and reminding myself to leave the radio on before i leave for him.:? I should say though that I've been really good and super happy this whole year so far thanks to someone really fantastic. They've given me something to focus on and it feels good to replace my pain with pleasant thoughts of this person. They have been a complete GIFT that i do not take for granted. I swear though, like effin CLOCKWORK, i felt this feeling overcome me tonite and I realized damn, july 23rd alreddie. ugh I have been crying all freakin night and I havnt done that in a while. i cant stop! :oops: I never allowed myself the cry time when this happened cuz there was alot of changes going on with me.

Tonite it just feels strong like I miss Surfer so much more than i ever have. I wish i could just pat my leg and hear him come running. Or get the leash and say lets go for a walk. My sleep pattern has never been the same since him being gone. Everyone asks "why dont you sleep?!" well, i just cant. I wake up alot cuz i hear him whimpering or cuz i dont feel him nexxxt to me. But...i cant tell EVERYONE this cuz, they wont get it. Im sure i will be ok in a day, i just feel really sadd in this moment and its really rare that im sadd! Anyway, here are some pictures that i have probably posted before but i dont have new ones! :( And as you all know, i didnt come here to write looking for sympathy or attention. If i did, i would have started a new thread like everyone else does! You guys have all been very supportive these past 2 years and i cant thank you enough. My "hero" has been perfect in being there and I thank him dearly. Also last year, meeting Normie was the sweetest birthday gift for me and healed my heart that much more. Thanks to Rob for ALWAYS encouraging me to get a new puppy evenFLOW gracie drives him nuts! And Carol......ahhhh so many things. Youre the best! All of you guys are amazing and i enjoy the fact that when somn is wrong within this doggie family, we all are there for each other. its beautiful. THANK YOU!

This is Surf watching Almost Famous with me. Im NOT lying!!!


Heres him in this basket with his brothers and sister, 2 weeks old!


And, the last day I spent with him at the beach.....

So i took the pup in for a minor surgery today, to have a rather large cyst removed. The surgery went good,
untill he examined the mass that he had removed. The vet told me that it was a tumor instead of a cyst, well not what i wanted to hear! She was a trooper during the surgery. I held her down while he did this. The vet told me that he has only seen a few dogs be so good and still while doing this type of surgery. He also told me that she must really feel safe with you, to be that calm and knowing that i would not let anything harm her. That made me feel so good when he told me that, It kinda got my mind of what he had really removed. For being so good during surgery, i gave her an extra treat for dinner tonight !!!

So, what was the tumor??? Is everything all good?? :( Gracie has a tumor/cyst, right now, that we're "watching" until her next vet appt. in August (not my call; the vet's).

Good Luck with everything for the both of you

Bailey had a cyst removed and everything was A-OK

I'm sure everything is fine !

I still want you to get another doggie, Sen! It would be good for you and good for the lucky dog. Dry your tears and start screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" at a new pup!

LOVVVVVE the pics!!! Thanks for the kind words. The way I look at it is you reap what you sow. When I lost Surf, everyone was super nice and supportive so why not return the kindness? Thats what this doggie thread family is all about! The day turned out to be pretty ok. I still hadd my moments but I got a phone call early this morning from someone that turned my frown upside down from the laughter! It helped alot and im thankful. I know it happens but i wish NOBODY ever has to exxxperience the loss. It effin SUCKS!!! However, theres always support in this thread and that is why it was created!!!

And incase you guys forgot.... heres our doggie thread photo site if any of you want to see pics or need somewhere to add your own! I look at it ALLLLLLLLL the time!!!!

Phantom Pain, thanks for the positive thoughts !

So to give an update, The second night while i was sleeping Trix took off her bandage
I have no idea how she did that, so i put it back on, and wouldn't you know she did it again!
This time i just left it off... Taking her to the vet today to get examined, and get some info.

For SENROCK!!! So happy you have come back to join us here.....it's so boring without YOU! Hugs for your anniversary. oxox

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.

We recently met a girl on the SF Muni train who was holding an 8 week old bulldog pup. Cute as hell. She said she lived in an apartment and needed "the most lazy, do nothing dog" she could find. :shock:

Update on the Trix,

So i took her to the vet yesterday, and the first thing he tells me is that she ate her outer stitches .
He said no harm in that, but it might take a little longer to heal. He also told me it looked good and that it was healing good. Then i asked him the question, and he told me that the tumor was cancer :( and that he was able to get it all out. He was glad that i didnt wait much longer to have it removed. Like the other cyst she has had, they normaly open up and ooze out, but this one just was not doing that. I could tell it was bothering her, she kept licking at it. She has been getting more and more of these "bumps" all over her body, so i am worried a little more these days. He felt a few of the worse ones and said one of them felt like fatty tissue built up, the others he said just watch them. I am really bummed now, but cant let Trix know that, she knows when something is wrong with me.
