ok good!! i got scared for a minute! Those people that do that to their doggies freak me out!!! But maybe its just me cuz im not the girlie type that would carry a tiny doggie in a purse paris hilton style. I'm all about the big doggies!!!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/SENROCK04/SURFER/diamond.jpg

~This, is the love of my life right here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/SENROCK04/SURFER/surfposing.jpg
you all know that. That is the picture in the very first post of this thread. I started this thread becuz of my doggie. I love him SO much that i wanted everyone to know it and SHARE the love they have of their doggies.

I dont even know HOW to begin to even write this but I think i need to now. SURFER was born in my garage on December 6th 1999. I wont ever forget it. He was the only BROWN rott among his brothers and 1 sister. I KNEW i hadd to keep him cuz he was different...like me. From that day, i fell hopelessly in love with him. He was the first doggie that was MINE and nobody elses. His parents i adopted from my brother. I needed to give him a unique name that reflected ME and what i enjoyed. I thought about VEDDER, McCREADY, PJ, but for some reason i knew those werent UNIQUE. Some crazy fan somewhere must have alreddie used those! so, i chose SURFER. Im a HUGE fan of surfing and have a thing for waves. SURFER seemed perfect. Everywhere we went, we were known as "SEN & SURF". I took him EVERYWHERE with me and everyone got to know him. I saw me and him doing so many things down the line. He loved the doggie beach becuz....hello.....SURFER??!!! haha

He enjoyed driving everywhere with me and LOVED going for walks late at night. When he was 8 months, i met a real surfer and he commented that SURF would be a HUGE doggie. I was exxxcited becuz i have always WANTED a HUGE doggie to protect me. If i didnt have a guy, i sure as hell would have my BIG SURFER!!! His doggie paws were my FAAAAVORITE. Last year when i went to hawaii for the Pearl Jam show, i got a custom tattoo that i drew myself and it has a surfboard with a wave behind it and SURFERs doggie paw in the center with his name. Everyone that didnt know me thought i was NUTS for getting a doggie paw. Those who DO know me KNEW that i loved my boy more than anything.

No matter what has happened in life since 1999, ive always hadd my prince doggie with me. The first time i began my touring adventure to pearl jam shows out of state, it killed me to be away from him. I would call home DAILY to check on him. Not to see how my parents or fam was but to see how my baby was doing! my mom would get so pissed and ask why dont i ask how THEY are! haha When it was a few days prior to me leaving on a trip, he KNEW. i would wanna be close to him but he would keep his distance and look at me as if to say "dont try to get all close to me. i KNOW ure leaving!" hahaha as i would be packing, he'd be doing this on my stuff:

i HAAAATED leaving him but boy i sure did look forward to coming back to him! I love the way he hears my voice or sniffs me in the air and starts to wimper like when he was a puppy. That is the sweetest sound EVER. When i leave to go get somn to eat, i'll tell him "wait for me right there ok fattyboy? i'll be right back." he would tilt his head to the side nd then sigh and lay down. When i drive up, there he is. right where i told him to stay! god i love him! Theres so many things to say about my prince. Nobody or no one has ever made me happier. If it were possible to have a wedding with my doggie (as yield2pearljam and i discussed) i WOULD. just so that i can have pearl jam wedding things! and becuz i never want to get married but i LOVE my doggie SO much and SO unconditionally.

Since June 21st, the first day of summer ( my FAVORITE non holiday)...there have been a series of events taking place in my life. None of them are good. I was away from posting here in THE PIT for a while but when things started going badd, i came here for entertainment and...frenz? When things are wrong in my life, i try not to let it show. I dont like people all up in my business. This thread and all of the participation with pictures and the talks about our 'kidz', it is really awesome. it is what has helped me smile day to day when theres nothing to smile for.

SURFER as i said before, is the love of my life. I have always said that if i did not have him, i dont know how i would cope or go on without him. He has always been there and we've gone thru changes together. If i hadd nothing and nobody else, i ALWAYS have my doggie. During this time of horrible things taking place in my life, SURF was the one thing that i looked to everyday. I wrote in here how i was moving and hadd to leave him in a doggie hotel. It tore me UP. I was so empty inside and hadd never felt that before. It was a few days only but it seemed like a lifetime. I was used to seeing this every night:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/SENROCK04/SURFER/prince.jpg

When i finally got him back, i felt like the missing piece hadd been found and i was complete. 3 days before i picked him up from the doggie hotel, i ended things with the guy i was seeing. It was kind of hard becuz i always told him "i have NO ONE" and he would always say 'you have ME and you have surf'. Right. Things in my life at that point started getting worse and it was hard letting go of him cuz i needed someone i could trust. It bummed me out but i was ok becuz i hadd my doggie. My doggie will ALWAYS be there for me!

Its been a month today that SURFER died. :( It was So difficult parting ways with the one person i loved and trusted and even MORE difficult LOSING my surfer, the love of my life. Both of them GONE within 2 weeks of each other. I dont want to go into detail of how or what happened but i thought it was time to post in here about SURFER being gone. Its been a strange month and i cant BELIEVE its a month cuz i still feel the pain i felt on that very last day. I havnt told anyone exxxcept 1 person from here the day it happened becuz i wasnt reddie to go public. My family OR frenz dont know still. Just sunday i shared the news with another friend from here and i thought i wouldnt cry but i DID! I know that i'm not the only one that has ever lost a pet and i know it gets easier etc etc. But, with the things going on in my life....its THAT much harder. When i hadd NOTHING else and NOBODY else, SURFER was the ONE thing i hadd no matter what. The korn lyrics "i hurt so badd inside, i wish you could see the world thru my eyes....i just want to laugh again" fit me perfectly. Ive posted things like this in THE PIT and on my myspace and people think its becuz of my breakup. NO MAN!!! its about MY SURFER!!!! this is way BIGGER than any guy!!!

The emptiness i felt when surf was away at the doggie hotel, i only hadd to live with that for a few days. NOW??? i'll have that feeling THE REST of MY LIFE!!! This whole month has been a blur and i feel numb and cold and like i dont care about anything or anyone. I am broken and feel as though i died inside along with him. When i kissed him on his big doggie head one last time, i squeezed him SO tight and said that i did not know how my life would be now that he was gone. I havnt hadd one good deep cry yet becuz im still in shock i guess. I have his picture as the screen saver on my phone and every night i say goodnight and every morning i say good morning. I carry his collar with me all the time. Going to chicago for lollapalooza was EXXXTREMELY hard. it was easy cuz i needed to get the hell outta here and away for a while but, it was hard becuz for the first time he didnt see me off. And, there was no big brown doggie greeting me at the gate when i got home. I dont think i will ever be the same. Of course i love doggies and want another one but, not yet. SURFER was my baby and im not reddie to share the love with another puppy. Its taking alot for me to write all this cuz i am just.....'walking wounded'. i know i've written ALOT here but i appreciate whoever took the time to read all of this.

I want to say also, THANK YOU to all of you who keep this thread up and keep posting pictures. Its helped me SO much on a daily basis. I will miss being able to post new pictures of my prince in here so if you see the same ones every now and then....just smile and nod like i am crazy!!! haha and thank you all for letting me get DEEP like kaya in writing this becuz maybe you all know that i AM NOT emotional or sympathetic!!! Thats not how i FLOW! This is probably the ONLY time you will ever see SENROCK! crying like a girl or being serious. I miss my doggie more than words can even exxxplain. I know that one day i'll be ok but i know it isnt right now. "i feel the life pulled from me.....i feel the anger changin' me..." Thanks everyone and heres a couple of my favorite pics...

Goodnite SURFER.....you will ALWAYS be my baby. I love you prince~

December 6, 1999-July 23, 2007

so, i was shopping for books tonite and, i saw this HUGE doggie staring right at me with sadd eyes. I didnt wanna pick up the book but i did. I turned the page and saw more and more doggie pictures. There was one that reminded me of SURFER and i just started CRYING like a girl! It was a picture of this light brown doggie sleeping with his doggie paws tucked under his chin like Surf used to and it would melt me!

its so freakin hard being without him but what can i do ya know? yesterday really made me happy for a while. I was at PJpixxxies with her fam and all of a sudden, all these black doggies came running out of NOWHERE!!! i wasnt aware til yesterday that her fam are HUGE fans of doggies and they take them EVERYWHERE!!! it was good being around doggie company again. and THANK YOU to all of you for your nice words. it means alot.

Sen glad you had a nice day.....being around other dogs will help to heal your heavy heart. Crying is good for your soul....let it out and you will feel better as time goes on.

Here are my Sweet Petey's vacation to Maine pictures.....he had a blast and it was so worth taking him. I never thought that I could love another dog as much as I loved Uno and Mason....but I do....Petey is a complete blessing, and I am so thankful to have another dog that means the world to me.

those pictures are SOOOOOOO good!!!!! oh man! you photograph that boy WELL!!!! thanks for posting those! i always look forward to seeing petey on here!!!
