    I agree. That would be fun. Our new puppy Brian just had his last shot and is ready to go out and see the world. After he wakes up.

    Thanks! There are so many beautiful dogs on the thread already, thanks for having room for one more. Everyone that meets him comments on his big eyes and floppy ears. I would add more pictures, but he will hardly stay still long enough to snap one!
  • Found another from when he was just a few weeks old.

    :cry: Sad news to share, Trix passed away yesterday. She is in a better place where she will no longer suffer and be in pain. She was a fighter with lots of love to give, she will be sooooooo missed. She has fought for four years giving everything she had to make me happy, and i returned the love ten times over.Trix was there for me when i was sick, she would lick my wounds to make them better, and just knew when things were not going good for me. She was my best friend, she was my rock!!! A piece of me left yesterday and i am so sad and feeling so numb right now. The house feels so cold, and i feel so alone.

    Trix you will be missed every day that i am ALIVE.....

    I always enjoyed your pictures of Trix and looked forward to your updates on her. She led a good life filled with love from you. Always remember the happy times you had together.

    Goodbye Trix! You touched far more people than you could ever know and you will be remembered with love.

    Oh, no... Trix... I'm so sorry to hear that. She put up quite a fight, and so many of us have been pulling for her and you. I'm sure it's a small comfort to you to know she's not in pain any more, but it's so awful that she's gone. Big hugs to you... :cry:

    One day at a time...

    I was fortunate enough to meet Ron at the Salt Lake pre-party in sept '09. we hung out, drank (a lot of) beer and talked about PJ, dogs and life. at the time, gracie had yet to get her cancer but trixie was already having a tough time. you all can tell how much Ron loved his girl but, I'm here to tell you, you could REALLY see it in his eyes and in his stories. I knew it was coming, but the text he sent me saddened the hell out of me. ron is a great guy and a great doggie dad. I don't want to embarrass him, but something came in the mail yesterday, from ron to me, that absolutely floored me for his kindness, generosity and "out of the blue" nature. Thanks, buddy!! Believe me, it is cool beyond words :mrgreen: .

    So, once again, I gotta post the following. it's true for all dogs but, with Trixie, it's really true. Take care buddy...the days will get better but there will be a hole in your heart for a long, long time :cry: .

    If you ever love an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember. The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked opinions of many friends or done research finding a breeder. Or, in a fleeting moment, you may have chosen that silly looking mutt at the shelter, simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore…when you feel it brush against you for the first time, it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through many years to come.

    The second day will occur years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your longtime friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you saw energy. You will see sleep where you once saw activity. You will begin to adjust your friend’s diet and you may add a pill to her food. And, you may feel a growing uneasy feeling until the third day arrives.

    On this day, if your friend or your higher being has not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own on behalf of your lifelong friend. Whichever way your friend leaves you, you will feel as alone as a single star in the dark night.

    If you are wise, you will let the tears flow freely as they must. If you are typical, you will find that not many family and friends will be able to understand your grief. But, if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul, smaller in size than your own, seems to walk with you at times, during the lonely days to come. At those moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary, you may feel something brush against your leg. And, looking down at the place where your dear friend used to lie… you will remember those three significant days. The memory will be painful. As time passes, the ache will come and go. You will reject it and embrace it and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.

    But, there will be a forth day when, along with the memory of your pet, and piercing through the heaviness in your heart, there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with the pet we have loved and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love, like the heavenly scent of a rose. This Love will remain and grow, and will be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It’s the legacy our pets leave us when they go… and it’s a gift we keep with us as long as we live. And until we leave, perhaps to join our beloved pets, it is a Love we will always possess.

    Sorry to hear about your beloved Trix...losing a friend has got to be one of the hardest things. She has blessed you with many good times and memories....my thoughts are with you. :cry:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I am so sorry. My heart aches for you. ox


    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.

    If you are wise, you will let the tears flow freely as they must. If you are typical, you will find that not many family and friends will be able to understand your grief. But, if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul, smaller in size than your own, seems to walk with you at times, during the lonely days to come. At those moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary, you may feel something brush against your leg. And, looking down at the place where your dear friend used to lie… you will remember those three significant days. The memory will be painful. As time passes, the ache will come and go. You will reject it and embrace it and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.

    But, there will be a forth day when, along with the memory of your pet, and piercing through the heaviness in your heart, there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with the pet we have loved and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love, like the heavenly scent of a rose. This Love will remain and grow, and will be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It’s the legacy our pets leave us when they go… and it’s a gift we keep with us as long as we live. And until we leave, perhaps to join our beloved pets, it is a Love we will always possess.

    ok...im crying now :( :( :(
    RIP Trix

    Oh, no... Trix... I'm so sorry to hear that. She put up quite a fight, and so many of us have been pulling for her and you. I'm sure it's a small comfort to you to know she's not in pain any more, but it's so awful that she's gone. Big hugs to you... :cry:
    One day at a time...

    I was fortunate enough to meet Ron at the Salt Lake pre-party in sept '09. we hung out, drank (a lot of) beer and talked about PJ, dogs and life. at the time, gracie had yet to get her cancer but trixie was already having a tough time. you all can tell how much Ron loved his girl but, I'm here to tell you, you could REALLY see it in his eyes and in his stories. I knew it was coming, but the text he sent me saddened the hell out of me. ron is a great guy and a great doggie dad. I don't want to embarrass him, but something came in the mail yesterday, from ron to me, that absolutely floored me for his kindness, generosity and "out of the blue" nature. Thanks, buddy!! Believe me, it is cool beyond words :mrgreen: .

    So, once again, I gotta post the following. it's true for all dogs but, with Trixie, it's really true. Take care buddy...the days will get better but there will be a hole in your heart for a long, long time :cry: .

    If you ever love an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember. The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked opinions of many friends or done research finding a breeder. Or, in a fleeting moment, you may have chosen that silly looking mutt at the shelter, simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore…when you feel it brush against you for the first time, it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through many years to come.

    The second day will occur years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your longtime friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you saw energy. You will see sleep where you once saw activity. You will begin to adjust your friend’s diet and you may add a pill to her food. And, you may feel a growing uneasy feeling until the third day arrives.

    On this day, if your friend or your higher being has not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own on behalf of your lifelong friend. Whichever way your friend leaves you, you will feel as alone as a single star in the dark night.

    If you are wise, you will let the tears flow freely as they must. If you are typical, you will find that not many family and friends will be able to understand your grief. But, if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul, smaller in size than your own, seems to walk with you at times, during the lonely days to come. At those moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary, you may feel something brush against your leg. And, looking down at the place where your dear friend used to lie… you will remember those three significant days. The memory will be painful. As time passes, the ache will come and go. You will reject it and embrace it and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.

    But, there will be a forth day when, along with the memory of your pet, and piercing through the heaviness in your heart, there will come a realization that belongs only to you.

    I am so sorry. My heart aches for you. ox


    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.

    Thank you so much for this!!!

    must get cleaned up now.

    I truly thank all of you for your strength in these times, i will need it.

    :cry: Sad news to share, Trix passed away yesterday. She is in a better place where she will no longer suffer and be in pain. She was a fighter with lots of love to give, she will be sooooooo missed. She has fought for four years giving everything she had to make me happy, and i returned the love ten times over.Trix was there for me when i was sick, she would lick my wounds to make them better, and just knew when things were not going good for me. She was my best friend, she was my rock!!! A piece of me left yesterday and i am so sad and feeling so numb right now. The house feels so cold, and i feel so alone.

    Trix you will be missed every day that i am ALIVE.....

    R.I.P. Trix

    :cry:
    So sorry :cry:
