Dec 20, 2013 Basil going to his forever home

I took Basil to the airport this morning and handed him to his human sister Katrina. They are on their flight to Baltimore where Basil’s new mom Barbara is very excited to see her new boy. Basil had a good night, was a perfect little gentleman and I am honored to have hosted him for the night. I don’t have […]

Dec 19, 2013 Express your love this Christmas

Every day is tough and every Thursday is more so. As Christmas approaches and everyone is posting their cute Santa photos, the disappointment and pain is felt anew. Almost a year ago today, Rosie and I were sitting in the sun and paw printing her Santa photos to send to her friends. I wish I’d made a set of prints […]

Everything Rosie magnet to help raise $ for Spay and Neuter

Last year Rosie posed for this photograph with Santa and she posed with friends who made a donation to APE for their mobile spay/neuter program. Since my little one is not here to do this again, we are offering these magnets to anyone who donates $25 to the mobile spay neuter program. The mobile unit goes into low income neighborhoods […]

Dec 12, 2013 – 9 weeks since Rosie passed away

It’s week nine and it’s not getting easier. The foster pups are cute but they only make me sadder. I tried to take my mind off this by wandering the aisles of stores and looking at decorations. And of course what do I see – a Christmas stocking that looks like Rosie posed for it. I don’t have the energy […]

Dec 7, 2013 – 8 weeks since Rosie passed away

Thursday was week 8 and I am sure that some of you were expecting to see a post. It isn’t that I didn’t have something to say it’s that I was not sure how to say it in a way others would understand. There is a hoarding situation just about 30 minutes from where Rosie came from and a friend […]

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Hanukah!

It’s Thanksgiving and it’s six weeks…and I still can’t believe she is gone. This photo is from one of the laser and massage treatments she received at Two Hands Four Paws last November. She was so happy – just look at those eyes – and we were looking forward to building her strength so she’d be able to enjoy many […]

Nov 22, 2013 – 6 weeks since Rosie passed away

Thursday marked week six and although I am not at peace with losing Rosie so soon, I realized I cannot spend every Thursday for the rest of my life looking at her photos and willing it to be a bad dream. I went to dinner with a friend and for nearly four hours we talked about Rosie, we laughed and […]

Cinnamon meets Tuna Melts My Heart and his lovely mom Courtney Dasher

November 18, 2013 – Every day I am amazed by how much I miss Rosie – I’ve been on the planet for over 50 years and she was with me for such a short time (way too short) – it never occurred to me how much my routine had changed, how much I had come to depend on her for […]

Nov 14, 2013 – 5 weeks since Rosie passed away

I’ m still reading all the memorial posts – the number of people touched by tiny Rosie astounds me. It is week five (yes, I am still counting minutes) and I am still putting things in my shopping cart she no longer needs and still thinking of fun things to do with her only to remember that isn’t going to […]
