One Year

It has been one year today that my baby girl crossed over the bridge and I still miss her just as much today as I did a year ago.

It truly does not even feel like a year has gone by.

There were a lot of tears over the holidays especially Christmas morning cause it just wasn’t the same without her rummaging through her stocking before anyone was up yet. She loved her some Santa Paws goodies!!

I wish I could say it gets easier but at this point it is still hard for me.

Today I will allow myself more tears but then I am going to try to remember all the happy funny things she used to do and smile or laugh instead of cry.

I want to say thank you again for all my blogging friends who sent cards or emails last year and to those that left words of encouragement here. You are all awesome!!!

Throwback Thursday

To that time I “fell” in the bafftub while momma was taking a baff.

This are where I was sitting which I always does when Momma is taking her baff. I like to play wif the bubbles and splash in the water ya nose.

I was just sittin’ there playing in da waters when all of a sudden I was in da baff wif momma!!!

Momma was screaming for Daddy cause I couldn’t get a good grip to get out and she couldn’t get me out cause I was loosing my mind and scratching her like crazy.

It was so traumatic ya’ll!!!

Now guys this happened not too long after sisser Ginger had gone to da bridge…

Yep dat are what I finks!!

Well it wasn’t funny sisser not one bit!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Visiting Sisser

Sepia Saturday

These are the last pictures we took with Sisser.

Mama says we were so sweet her last week. I would stay real close to her and give her gentle kisses (no bites) and gentle taps (no claws). Anytime I would hear Mama crying I would come and give her soft head butts and purrs. I even tried to lick mama's hair and gots it stuck in my mouth a few times!

And brother Matt would come sit close to Mama and give Ginger gentle kisses on her forehead which he rarely does. We call them run by kisses cause he would run up sniff her and give her a gentle kiss then run off. It was really cute. He was also pretty protective of her in the yard too.

We just want to say how blessed we are to have such sweet blogging friends who stop to leave such sweet comments and give us so much love and prayers.

Soft purrs and licky kisses,

Matilda

One Of The Worst Days Of My Life

Yesterday was heartbreaking, terrifying, bittersweet…any any other word for just plain awful.

My baby girl went to puppy heaven.

Ginger went downhill in a matter of a week and we found out she had liver cancer this past Saturday. All her labs earlier this year came back normal. She still had a sludgy gallbladder but her levels were good and we still suspected a bit of cushings. Her weight had dropped a bit at a time but we all chalked it up to old age. I wish I had seen the signs earlier and really known what to look for but since our furbabies can’t talk I just had no clue. She still did all her favorite things which consisted of eating, swimming, sleeping and eating some more.

I just can’t believe this was last Christmas…

I am broken without her. I just really don’t know how to function right now. Not even sure why I am typing this post….

Maybe its theraputic??

All I can hope is that she met up with my old best friend Malibu

And all of my other fur babies I had as a child/young adult.

and maybe she will get to visit with my Great Aunt Helen who loved her so much and would always play tug of war with her. Ginger never gave up her toy.

I will miss her snuggles

and my swimming buddy

and Daddy’s fire buddy

Brad made her the most beautiful grave right out by the fire pit. She loved to sit out there with her Daddy.

We did all her favorite things before she passed. Sat out in the sun and let it hit her face. Ate a #cheeseburger and fries from ickdonalds even though she could only eat a little bit of it. Gave her a nice warm bath in my garden tub so she could feel like she was in the swimming pool. Put on our fire DVD while we snuggled on the floor so she could hear the crackling fire.

She was ready but I would have forever not been ready.

Please keep the prayers coming.

Black & White Sunday

These are not the best quality pictures but I just wanted to show ya'll how sweet Tilda has been through all of this. She checks on Ginger a lot through out the day and sleeps near by. 

Right now Ginger is resting comfortably with all her stuffies.

Ginger Update

She is resting comfortably in the kitchen sniffing Daddy's black eyed peas.

As of now she has not gotten sick in a while and has not lost her appetite thru her bout of sickness. My girl loves her some food. She seems to be feeling better but we shall see. I have a tentative appointment Tuesday with her regular doctor who is on vacation or I will go tomorrow if she is still not coming around. Hard decisions may have to be made but I am trying to stay positive. There have been a lot of tears these past couple days.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and POTP.

I hope you all had a safe and Happy New Year's Eve and are having a nice New Years Day!

Need A Lot of Prayers

Ginger is not doing well and I am pretty much a basket case so if you would please keep her and our family in your prayers I would be so grateful.
