She posted this once and I've remembered it each time I've lost a dog and each time I've gotten another one.  It says better than anything I can think of how to turn grief into hope.

It came to me that every time I lose a dog, they take a piece of my heart with them.  And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart.  If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are.

I HATE cancer.

FUCK CANCER

So some sad news. One of our doggie parents has died. PJaddicted lost her battle with breast cancer. She hasn't posted in a long time but I thought I'd let old timers who remember her (and Petey!) know. 

Thanks for letting us know, norm. Was she another Carolyn?

codie is in vegas, as we speak.....attending a memorial for her good friend's brother....cancer, 53 years old.

Sorry to hear about Codie's friend.

Petey is her current dog. Monty was her last dog. 

I thought Monty was the little brother to Petey, who had a heart condition.  I remember pictures of Petey at Obedience class.  And how once they were going to cook some live lobsters, then suddenly the lobsters were nowhere to be found.

Sorry, you're right. Sucks losing your mind.

Nah, we all have too many things to remember.
I had a dog named Petey years ago, so that's probably why I remembered hers so well.

I love the succession of facial expressions in the last three:

"Cookie?!"
"I'm waiting...."
"Well hello!"

Excited to go for a ride.

This is just very sad news! I always enjoyed the warmth and wisdom she had.  

RIP

Due to unforseen circumstances, there probably won't be very many more pictures of this beauty posted here. I'm very sad to say I will be losing her in a very unexpected "divorce". I don't even know what else to say other than, "if I had known then, what I know now".

have not been posting for awhile now, life happens! Sophie is okay as well as I am. Just some things in life one can not change. Need to go with what comes my way. "I will ride the wave, where it takes me" I will not go into details but this place has been a life saver to many of us! I may not be posting as much as I once use to, but I just want you all to know, that you guys are the best!  Good times and bad times everyone has each others back!

I hear ya!  The last six months have been VERY weird for me and I don't check in the way I used to.  But I'm glad to hear that you and Sophie are doing OK. 
I'm kinda stressed right now, to put it mildly, but the fur-kids are doing great.  Scout and Stella are best buds and always make me smile.

Piper has a new nickname. She now answers to “Champ”

Someone is sittin' pretty and lookin' proud of herself!

Who P, hang in there

Wobbie

as rumored, Piper got a sister today. Winnie is a little over nine months old a we got her because she doesn’t have the herding drive her original owner was looking for. The first hour after the girls met was a little hectic. I’m sure there will be plenty more craziness but they seem to like each other.

Congrats to the gorgeous and happy addition to the Wob family!  Pretty sure Winnie shall live the life of Wiley

Piper has a sister now. 

How did the first night go?  Stella wasted no time in stealing Scout's bed and he let her get away with it.

Wobbie

it's pretty apparent that Winnie, at nine months, is more mature than 3.5 year old Piper Piper is a little shit....everytime Winnie found something to chew on, Piper stole it...Winnie already walks a leash better than Piper and tolerates being brushed.

it is what it is...Piper is the alpha dog. I came home from work today, half expecting Codie to be in tears but all three girls were mellow. we just took P&W on another walk and Piper was way better than usual....maybe some maturity will rub off on her!

Oh, so much cuteness.  It's so interesting when you add a second dog - it some ways it's more work, but then I love the companionship 2 dogs have with each other.  It's so sweet (and fun) to see.
