Snowflake and Casper

Some know I had lost Snowflake. She was my faithful companion for 14 years. She got congestive heart failure I immediately took her to the specialist in Louisville. They stabilized her and she was doing well. When I had my back surgery she took a turn for the worse, she held on until I got home. She started having seizures daily so I took her to the vet and she went to sleep.
I was in the American Eskimo forum in Facebook and is friends with the moderator. She sold an American Eskimo to a woman in Louisville whom could no longer keep him.
I went to Louisville and met Casper. Him and I didn't hit it off right away but he slowly warmed to me. I wanted a girl American Eskimo and he was a boy but for the 125$ adoption fee I got him. He was sold originally for 800$.
He is hyper and busy and picks on the other dogs but is OK. The odd part is that his birthday in 6 sept. The same as mine. Odd right
A day does not go by I do not think of mt Snowflake.

Tweetsorry man, the loss of a beloved pet is crushing. Yeah they are not people but it still hurts. Glad you found a new pal.

Tweeti still get reminders on my FB about my beloved Molly my beagle nut job. she was loyal and gave me 15 years of loving friendship. i got my pitty about 16 months before molly had to be let go for her restful sleep. i think she kept going the last couple years tired as she was because she knew i wasn't ready to let her go. she acted the big sister to Gracie my pitty as a puppy and showed her the ropes. the day i had to bring her to the vet the final time in november 2014 she pressed her head up under my chin as we sat there like she was saying i know why we're here daddy and i'm glad you're with me and it's my time to stop hurting. held her the whole procedure with my head against hers. when the vet softly said she's gone hot tears were flowing out of my eyes and my son puled me into his arms and i wept like a little baby. i'll never forget that beautiful girl. the pain never really goes away, it just scars over and is easier to deal with. if i didn't have my boo girl Gracie to think of i could have easily slipped into depression. it makes me smile and brings me peace when i see Gracie bring one of her toys and flop down on the spot by the fire pit where i buried Molly and paw at the ground and lay on the spot and stretch out while we have fires in the evenings. dogs just touch that place in us that responds to unconditional love and makes us a better person. good luck with the new eskimo boy brother.

TweetThey are like children. The little furry ones give us so much and ask so little.
