Hello My Friend Joanne, Just thought I would say hello, haven't been here in awhile. Left Raymond a note and hope he gets it, along with the others. Thanks for reminding me. As Muffins day is coming up, I thank her every day for my precious Maddie.She is a jewel. Love to you, Sissy

My Dearest Friend,
Thank you so much for the kind words re: Shadow. He is an absolute delight already! In my heart to stay, right there beside Benny.

Joanne,

You are so welcome. That is so sweet what Benny did with everyones shoes. I know so well why you and everyone miss BENNY. He was one SPECIAL fur baby. I think you are right about trying so hard to cure them from cancer and giving our all, only to lose them. It's just not fair. My thoughts are with you dear friend. Take Care....

Love ya,
Sissy

Thank you my dearest Sissy, you are the BEST. Yesterday was just another occasion that Benny so enjoyed in his lifetime....a birthday party. He would sit at the door waiting for the guests to arrive and then take one shoe from each guest and place it in the laundry room as if to say, I'm so glad you are here and you can stay and you are welcome. Let the party begin. There was an emptiness without him her yesterday and everyone felt it.
Thanks for being such a caring friend to this old gal.

Love Ya Much,
Joanne

Hello My Sweet Joanne,

I hope today was a good day for you. I know how bad you miss your Benny Boy. You do have so many wonderful memories that you can cling to. He was so special and I know that is why it hurts so bad. It will get better in time. Just let the tears fall, it does help. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love ya my friend,
Sissy

Dear Sissy,
Just checking to see if my emails went through to you since I have not received any more from you? I know you are very busy with Eddy and your new puppy Maddie, but I just hoped you had received my emails. Hope Eddy is doing well and give Maddie a big hug from me. I sent you pictures of Shadow when he was only 8 days old and we 'll get more on Sunday when we visit and he will be 4 weeks old. Tomorrow will be one! Carpe Diem!
Another sad post today of another little 6 year old fur boy named Boo who has been diagnosed with oral cancer and the hearts of his human friends are breaking. It breaks my heart to read this. It is a mystery why so many dogs get cancer and some so young.

Love & Hugs,
Joanne

My Dear Sissy,
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on Benny's pictures. I feel exactly the same way about your precious Muffin. At least we have terrific memories of the good old days and nothing ever stays the same. I would not have traded one moment with Benny as I know you feel the same about your time with Muffin. Now you are getting to enjoy the love of another beautiful puppy and we will soon have Shadow and it will be another "beginning." Hope you got the 4 acres cut. It was up in the mid 80s here on Saturday, really hot for this time of year in Southern, Ontario.
Love & Hugs,
Joanne

Thanks Sissy,
you are the BEST. We get to see SHADOW on May 3rd. I'll be sure to give him a hug from you. Give Maddie one from me and take a big one for yourself. Take it easy tomorrow. Our lawn will soon need a cutting but your weather is way ahead of ours. Those flowers in your garden are just beautiful....the lavender ones in the picture with Maddie and your darling daughter.
Love & Hugs,
Joanne

Dear Sissy,
How are you doing? I am so glad you have Maddie to love. I am looking forward to the arrival of Shadow early June. I think of you every day. Great that Jim is getting another puppy to love.
Love You,
Joanne

Joanne,
Shadow is a great name.That was my Mom's dogs name. This is funny, I too am going the holistic route. I will be asking you questions I'm sure. I also want to do it right this time. Your words about Benny and Shadow were wonderful. Talk to you soon.
Love,
Sissy
