Found these today. Thank you my boy. I needed them. missing you a lot this week. Your brother got an upset tummy from some new food and he would not eat and just laid around. Brought back some memories of you feeling so bad. I am still looking for your bath picture. I got your scrapbook done, well, now I want to add these in. That would be a good thing, I finish and you keep sending pictures. Look at how Chandler is looking at you with such love in his eyes. We got you because we thought you were lonely. And who can forget Barky Brinkley, she is still pretty much the same. we must have been dog sitting her when this was taken. You guys had such fun running and romping in the yard together. I guess all in all, you probably thought you had life pretty good. Labs are always so happy and you were no exception. We have to redo the porch steps as they are sinking into the driveway. I know, you never used them anyway. You just leaped directly on to the porch without ever touching the steps. Thump, clump, scratch, scratch, I can still hear you. The scratches are all still there on the porch and I think I may never paint over them. I miss you big guy. I miss your smiling, happy face, your goofy expressions and your vocal noises. I miss the thumping of your tail on the walls, floors and my dryer. your tail never stopped until the last day. When you no longer had the energy to wag, well then I knew….does not make it easier, but I knew what I would have wanted if I was in your place. Just wish I could turn back time and snuggle your warm body, kiss the sweet spot between your eyes and pet your silky ears. I love you TY GUY!
Oh how adorable!!!! No wonder you fell in love with him! Lab puppies are the cutest!
Scratches, chewed up shoes/clippies (here) and other stuff are permanent memories of the wonderful times we all shared with our fur-babies!
Sending love .. .thank you for always sharing your story!
Alison & her Shelby fur-ever in her heart
Ty, That HAS to be a stuffed doggy standing in for you trying to look like a Lab puppy! Is that you? Really? How can a puppy be THAT cute?
We miss you too Ty Guy. But I’m so glad yor mom is continuing your legacy of such bravery, inspiration and love. That keeps you here with us. You and your momma had such an unbreakable bond. I kow yu already kmow that, but sometimes your mom feels apart from you so you keep seding her signs you’re okay! Humans are just plain strange!
I can really visualze you flying over your porch steps! So cute! And I can HEAR the thump, thump of your happy tail wagging. Send that sound to your mom, okay? I know she read the “bridge poem” that Christine posted. So go to the middle of the bridge and wag your tail realy, realkyjard. Let that thump,thump sound carry on the wind to yur mom’s ears! She’ll hear you!
Tha ks for blogging today Lori. Goodness knows, this part of the journey is sooo painful and seems like it will never end. But I KOW Ty Guy would not change one thing about his journeyif it meant e could’t jave you as his souomate!
I think Lucy and Chandler would be very, very open to Ty sending them a Lab puppy! It would already be “Ty approved”!
Sending love to yo sweet Lori, and all your pack!
Sally and Happy Hannah
Ohhh look at that little guy! Those are great family photos, what treasures.
I know what you mean about wanting to turn back time, it’s so hard not to wish that we could. But I really like how you can hear, and feel, and visually see his presence in your mind. That is such evidence that he’s not far from your heart, nor will he ever be. {{{{hugs}}}}
