Taking a Brief Break.

Finn



My apologies, I will be taking a bit of a break.  I'm not quite sure when I'll be back but I will be.

Finn, our Big Dog, big boy sweetheart, passed away unexpectedly on March 20.  To say we are devasted and destroyed is an understatement.  To say I'm not functional is an understatement as well.  We love him so much.  He will be so missed.  Our hearts are shattered.

Thank you for your understanding during this awful time for us.  

Thank you.

  2. Such sad news, I am SO, SO SORRY for your loss of this sweet soul. This is hard to get over...I know. Wishing that the knowledge of being put together on this earth sustains you when you think about him. That you were the only ones exactly right for him...that no one could have loved him more or done more. Sending a big hug.

  5. The memories will never fade, dropped pieces of food, finding stray fur in strange places, ( for years for us), seeing scratched doors or floors from them, toys, etc. when you are ready, pics and videos but maybe not yet. and it will get eventually replaced with calm, knowing they knew they were so loved and safe, and they were a precious gift, to be joyfully forever thankful for. I’m so sorry, Becky

  6. So sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need to grieve the loss of Finn; you will know when it is time to "flippingtheflip" and you will know when it is time to get another dog.
    I had an attic fire on 22 April 2022 and lost Duchess (Am Rottweiler), Boots, Fluffy, Mittens and Sir Hiss (litter of ginger tabbies born under my front stoop). Sofie (Pug) and Princess (Am Cocker Spaniel) survived. Sofie was euthanized on 2 February 2023 due to an inoperable tumor that went from the size of a ping pong ball Christmas 2022 to the size of a baseball. Princess and I were able to take possession of our reconstructed home on 6 November 2023. She was lonely so my Christmas present to her and myself where a 5 yo neutered gray tabby and a 1 yo spayed tortoiseshell. Princess passed over the rainbow bridge sometime between 4 AM when I checked on her (the previous week she would go to bed with the cats and I; get up during the night or early morning and go and sleep on the heat register in the kitchen, I always gave her a full body to make sure she was ok) at 8 AM, 28 January, when I went to the kitchen she had passed. I am currently half-heartedly looking for a dog that is good with cats through the animal rescue and shelters in the Kansas City metro area.
