Remembering Corky with Lots of Love

[littleone1]

Corky's ashes are home. I now have a sense of closure. There are so many things I want to write about Corky, but it's something I can't do yet.

Thank you everyone for everything.

I think it's now time to move Corky's thread.

Corky will always be loved, and he will never be forgotten. RIP my little one.

[MBK]

Terri -

I have not been on here much as I've been having some computer issues at home.

Came here today and saw the awful news. I cried for you and your sweet baby. I am so sorry for your loss. Your were fortunate to have each other and I know Corky had to have known how much he was loved.

Take care of yourself. You are in my thoughts.

[kapohotricia]

Terri, Before you move Corky's thread I just want to say I loved looking at his photos. What a precious spirit shines through each picture! The love and experiences you two shared will live on. It is because of him that you have been there to comfort and support Kirby and I as we came to this group. God bless his soul and God bless you each new day as you go on, better for having had him in your life.
With fondest aloha,

Tricia and Kirby

[littleone1]

Thank you Mary Beth, Tricia, and Addy.

You are very special in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your furbabies.

Corky will still be here with us In Loving Memory.

[Squirt's Mom]

Corky will always be with us, in our memories and in our hearts.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))
Leslie and the gang

[littleone1]

Thank you for the big hugs my dear friend.

Corky will always be loved by so many, and he will never be forgotten. He will always be in my heart and in my memories.

[Bichonluver3]

Still thinking of you, dear Terri. You know my love, thoughts and prayers are always with you. I'll just bet our Corkster is giving everyone across the rainbow bridge a real run for their money! I know one day I will meet him.
Love,
Carrol

[Cyn719]

Terri - Hi I am happy Corkys ashes are with you - I know you have been waiting and I hope this does give you some closure - I saw the picture - beautiful!!! Corky will never be forgotten - I think of his sweet face everyday - you will always have the beautiful memories....forever!!! love hugs and prayers always xo

[mytil]

((((((hugs))))))) Terri.

I know these days will be hard on you, we are all here!
T.

[frijole]

T, Sending love and warm healing thoughts. Your tribute to Corky has already been written... every.single.day. We witnessed it here firsthand. Your love was unconditional and Corky was lucky to have you as a mom. Kim

[Casey's Mom]

Dear Terri, I hope you feel that he is back with you now that his ashes are with you. Your love shines so brightly for him. Hugs to you my dear friend.

[littleone1]

Thank you so much my dear friends. Thank you for being here with me, as you were always here for Corky and me.

I miss my little stinker so much. I felt him tapping me this morning because he was ready to eat. When he felt it was time for me to get up, he would always tap me and then give me kisses.

He probably is creating havoc and really enjoying himself, Carrol.

I love all of you.

[littleone1]

I want to share a note that Corky's IMS wrote. I got cards from Corky's vet, his IMS, and their staffs. They all wrote the nicest notes.

This is the one that Dr. H. wrote:

"Corky was a very special patient, and we were fortunate to have known him for the past few years. Your love and care kept him going, and I know he'll live on forever in your memories and in your heart."

I was blessed that Corky had a great vet and IMS. I always knew Corky was in good hands. All of their techs and office staff were also great.

[labblab]

Oh Terri, those notes mean a lot, don't they. I remember when we first lost Barkis, I went through a period of grieving for our vets in addition. We had spent so much time with them over the years, and especially at the end. It just seemed so strange to suddenly drive past the animal hospital, with no reason left to park and go in. :o :o :o

Everything about my life changed in those first days and weeks. It was so hard.

I know you missed Corky very much when you felt him tapping you. But I hope maybe there was some comfort, too, in knowing that those sweet memories have a life of their own and will remain with you forever.

Marianne

[Squirt's Mom]

Dear Terri,

What blessings! To have Corky visit you and let you know he is still by your side, that his love for you is growing as always. I love it when I can feel Crys around. It hurts but it also makes me happy...if that makes sense.

And the notes from the vets mean so very much. To know they also saw what a special boy he was and that he came to mean so much to them, and that your love and attention was noted and recognized as the true power behind his amazing life...something we all know here to be the absolute truth.

Love ya!
Leslie

[kapohotricia]

Dear Terri,
I'm thinking of you on this Veteran's Day. Corky fought his own battle and he was a real Trooper! Hugs, Boston lickies from Kirby and much aloha from me,

Tricia

[Bichonluver3]

Love you, Terri and still thinking of you.
Carrol

[Cyn719]

Terri What a nice note - I know that really meant alot to hear those words from the vet ---- yes Corky was a special little guy -- he will always be missed and remembered --- xoxo

[littleone1]

Thank you my very dear friends for your very kind words, your love, and support. They are very comforting to me. It's very hard right now, but knowing you are here means alot to me.

[marie adams]

Hi Terri,

Think of you!!! The days go by and you have so many thoughts of Corky...You were both blessed to have had each other.

That is so wonderful the notes you received from the vets and techs. Corky certainly was in good hands with them.

((((BIG HUGS)))):)

[Bichonluver3]

We're right beside you with arms around you, my dear friend.
Love & hugs,
Carrol

[littleone1]

Thank you my dear friends for the love and hugs.

I got a cast of Corky's paw print today. Dr. H.'s staff made it for me. Above his paw print, they have his name in the nicest letters, with hearts on each side of his name. I also got a beautiful glass piece from my best friend, with an etched Boston Terrier and Corky's name with 1997-2011.

I was very blessed to have had Corky in my life for so many years, and for having so many very dear and special friends in my life. You all mean so much to me.

[Cyn719]

That was so sweet of Dr H and his staff - and your friend -- they are so thoughtful -- I know that meant alot to you -- Hugssssssss

[bernie47]

Thinking of you today ..((( hugs ))) from all of us Terri , Catherine and family .

[littleone1]

Thank you Catherine. You're also in my thoughts today.

Dr. H., her staff, and my best friend are all very special to me my dear friend. These do mean alot to me Cindy.

[Harley PoMMom]

Sending tons and tons of love and hugs, Lori

[littleone1]

Lori,

Thank you so much my very dear friend. I needed this. It's hard to believe that everything happened over three weeks ago. It seems like it was just yesterday.

I luv ya. (((HUGS)))

[Cindy Thoman]

Dear Terri, I have not been on daily like I use to be. I am so sorry to hear about Corky. My thoughts and prayers are with you. You and Corky were blessed to have had each other.
XOXO,
Cindy, Alex and Bear

[Bichonluver3]

You and Corky are still on my mind each day. Sending love your way.
Carrol

[kapohotricia]

I've been thinking about you too, Terri. I'm sure that Corky continues to be a big part of your life, remaining with you in loving memories as you go forward. Our dogs are still all with me that way, even those long gone decades ago. Love is eternal! Isn't that a great blessing?
Please keep in touch and let us know how things are going with you. Did you get your eyes fixed yet?
Aloha and Boston lickies from Kirby,
Tricia

[Bichonluver3]

Dear Terri,
You and Corky are still on my mind every day. I hope that some of the memories of happy times are starting to replace some of the sadness. Interestingly, My Dad had a Boston when he was a kid. He loved that dog more than anything until he passed away at 93. Yes, love does last a long time.
Hugs,
Carrol (and a few Bichon licks from Chloe!)

[mytil]

My continued (((((hugs)))) Terri.

[littleone1]

Thank you my dear friends for your continued thoughts, prayers, love, and hugs. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for asking about my eyes, Tricia. The surgeon doesn't want to do the retina surgery yet, as my cataracts aren't ripe enough. He doesn't want to do surgey on my right eye twice unless I can no longer stand the distortion. He wants me to go back in 6 months to check the progression of everything. For now he is giving me new glasses with a very high powered right lens. He said this should help my vision.

[Squirt's Mom]

Sending you love and strength daily, dear lady with binocular glasses. :D

HUGS!!!!!!!

[kapohotricia]

Thanks for the update, Terri. I hope those new glasses help. Be safe out there on the roads if you're driving.
I'm thinking of you especially as the holidays get started.
Love to you and Angel Corky,

Tricia and Kirby

[littleone1]

Thank you Leslie and Tricia. I love you both. Please give your fur babies an extra big hug from me. I'm not going anywhere for the holidays, except to walk across the street to my friend's house. I hope you both have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for making me laugh, Leslie. The binocular lady got her new glasses this morning. :D It's going to take me time to adjust to them, especially the right eye.

[littleone1]

It's 4 weeks today that Corky was released. I miss him so much.

I had his urn on his blanket in front of the fireplace. It's now in my curio cabinet with Jay's urn.

[mypuppy]

OMG big sis,

I can't believe it has been 4 weeks already that we lost our precious little boy. I know its surreal for you as it is for all of us when we lose someone so very special as Corky.

I am tightly and lovingly embracing you today, across the miles and holding you and our boy deep in my heart.

I love you both....

xo Jeanette

[Cyn719]

Terri - ditto to what our friend Jeanette said -- Love you so much and we all miss little Corky!! xoxo

[Franklin'sMum]

Dearest Terri,

Sending my continuing (((HUGS))), love and any measure of comfort possible. I think it's beautiful that you felt Corky tap you, and I truly hope that your heart was filled with joy.

Much love my very dear friend,
Jane, Franklin and Angel Bailey xxx

Thinking of you Terri ...((( hugs ))) Catherine , Ken & fur babies ..

[littleone1]

Thank you my very dear friends. I really appreciate it. I love you dearly. Words can't express how I feel about all of you and what you all mean to me.

[lulusmom]

Terry, I haven't posted in a bit but want you to know that you and Corky are never far from my mind.

Big hugs and much love,
Glynda

[littleone1]

Thank you so much Glynda. You are such a dear friend. You've been here with me since I first joined our family.

I don't expect everyone to post on Corky's thread. I know so many of you are here with me and for me. There's just times when I need to express my feelings.

[addy]

Dear Terri,

I am so sorry I have not had much time to check in on you.

I think about you all the time and miss our little trooper.

Always in my heart dear friend,

love
Addy

I luv ya bunches lil sis and my very dear friend Addy.

This is my last post for awhile. I have a few things left to print, and then I'm taking a much needed break from the forum. In January, it will be 3 years since I joined the original forum.

[Squirt's Mom]

Hi Darlin',

We all need breaks from time to time. Please take care of yourself and know you are always in the hearts of many, wrapped in loving arms all the time.

Love ya,
Leslie

[labblab]

Dear Terri,

I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't admit that I am sorry to read your reply. Because I will miss you while you are away -- very, very much :o. But I totally understand that it is time for you to take a much-needed break. Take good care of yourself! And we will welcome you back at any time, even if is just for a quick update. And without any question, we will hold you and Corky in our hearts while you are away.

Sending many hugs, today and everyday.
Marianne

[Dollydog]

Have a relaxing break....come back soon!

Terri I'm so sorry i missed you! I hope you come back some day and see this. I remember you. I see your posts often in my threads. I can never thank you enough for being there for me. I wish I had been there for you too. I understand how Corkys passing is chasing you from here. I couldn't even look at pictures of Mira after she died. I hope your memories of Corky become manageable soon for you. You were so kind to me at a time I could hardly think straight let alone tell anyone just how much it ment. And now you may never see this this. I'm so sorry.

[mytil]

My continued (((hugs))) Terri.

Terry

[Bichonluver3]

I miss you and love you, my dear friend. You and Corky are always in my thoughts and in my heart. I hope, when you are ready, you will come back to us. We need you here.
In the meantime, give yourself the time you need to heal. We will continue to send love, prayers and energy your way.
You are a very special person and I will miss you greatly while you are away.
Love,
Carrol

[Cyn719]

Terri - Love you and miss you!!! I was thinking of Corky yesterday - I spent the afternoon at my friends and she has a little Corky named Mia --- Love and Hugssss to my friend!!! xo

[Cyn719]

Terri Thinking of you and wishing you prayers and love on this Christmas ----- Love you Cindy and Penny xoxox

[littleone1]

Thank you my dear friends.

I came back today to light a candle for Corky, and I saw the posts. I'm hoping that after the holidays I might be able to come back more often. I'm having a very difficult time right now.

I hope that all of you, your families, and your furbabies have a Merry Christmas.

[littleone1]

I want to share this with you. I've said all along that Corky had a great IMS. Today I got a letter in the mail from The American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Foundation. Dr. H. made a donation to them in memory of Corky.

[Cyn719]

Terri - how wonderful is that of Dr H!!!! You were blessed with a very special IMS for sure - she is a beautiful person inside and out!!! What a special honor for your Corky -- he was loved by so many people and will never be forgotten -

We love you Angel Corky

love always xoxoxox

[mypuppy]

Hello big Sis,

Now that's a very honorable thing in our Corky's memory...YAY Corky...You are a beautiful shining star up above, and we continue to treasure your sweet soul.

Love you Terri and your little boy too.

xo Jeanette and Princess

[Harley PoMMom]

What a beautiful and loving tribute to our sweet Corky...GOD bless Dr. H!

Sending huge and loving hugs,
Lori

[Squirt's Mom]

Oh, what a touching gesture! The Corkster touched everyone he met and left a lasting impression in all our hearts; now that love will reach out and touch others.

Hugs,
Leslie

[lulusmom]

Sounds like Dr. H and Corky had a lot more in common than just a doctor/patient relationship.....big hearts and big character.

[addy]

Oh Terri,

Now that is truly special, as special as our Corkster. How proud you must be of our little trooper, to have touched his doctor so.

love and hugs,
addy

[littleone1]

This was a wonderful tribute to Corky. I believe Dr. H. had a special place in her heart for Corky. She had tears in her eyes when he was released. She even gave me a hug. She is a very caring person.

[marie adams]

Hi Terri,

Saw your were on and I thought about you!! I hope you are doing a little better. Oh how I know how you feel. I cannot believe it has been a year since I was where you are now. Our furbabies are having a great time romping in the grass and just feeling GREAT!!! :D

Please take care and let us know how you are doing!!! :)

[Bichonluver3]

Have not been on the forum for some time but I do come back to check on you. What a wonderful gesture from Dr. H. I miss you and the Corkster so much. Please let us know how you are doing. I pray for your heart to heal, my dear, sweet friend.
Love,
Carrol

[littleone1]

Thank you Marie and my dear friend Carrol for checking on me. I'm doing a little better, but it's really hard not having Corky with me. It's been 3 months now, but it seems like it was just yesterday. I love him and miss him so much.

I've tried to come on and post some things about Corky, but I haven't been able to do it. I'm going to try now. There are some things that most of you don't know about Corky.

On February 28th, it will be 13 years since Jay and I brought Corky home. When we went to see him, he never went near the lady. He came right up to Jay and me. He was only allowed in the back yard or in their family room. At night, he was put in a cage far away from anyone. He was malnurished and had never been for a walk. On the way home, he was laying on my lap. He was shaking so badly that his teeth were chattering. The only time he was in a car is when they brought him home as a puppy. I kept petting him and telling him that it was okay. We changed his name to Corky on the way home.

It didn't take us long to realize that Corky had been hit. If he would see a fly swatter, a newspaper, or a magazine in our hands, he would jump up on the chair, his ears would go back, and he would start shaking. At first, when we would try to pet him, he would back away. He wouldn't let us touch his nose to see if was cold and moist or warm and dry, if we didn't think he was feeling well. Eventually that changed. It didn't take Corky long to realize that he could trust us, that we loved him, and that we would never do anything to hurt him. He became the most loving, cuddly, snuggly little boy. He always had to be near us.

I can't post anymore right now.

[labblab]

Terri, bless you and Jay and Corky. Now and always.

With loving hugs from across the miles,
Marianne

[Dollydog]

(((HUGS))) That's a great start in telling us things about Corky....he sure came to a great home from such a lousy beginning. No wonder he always wanted to be near to you two....he was in a very special place and he knew it.
Take care Terri and hope you'll post some more when you can...
Jo-Ann

[Cyn719]

Terri

I am glad you are able to share things about dear Corky. Always here for you when you are able to share more.

Love and prayers to you dear friend

Your angel is watching over you always xo

[Squirt's Mom]

My dear, sweet friend,

I know how difficult it was for you to come talk to us about your sweet boy right now.

Today was a magical day for you, Jay and for Corky - it was a day when you all realized just how much you needed each other as a family; a day when you and Jay saw how much this little boy needed you; a day when you both saw how much love that scared little guy had hidden inside.

It was the day Corky came to be; the day he looked into your eyes and knew you were the one who would save him, fight for him, and love him like no one else ever could. He looked deep inside your soul and saw that spot that only he could fill. Corky was drawn to you like a moth to a flame - and the flame of your love filled his little soul to overflowing from that day on, and will continue to do so for all time.

You are such a special lady to so many, Terri. I consider the day we met to be one of those magical days in my life and I love you dearly. You are so strong and brave and always filled with love and laughter. You are a blessing in my life; I can only imagine what joy you brought to Jay and Corky.

You are never alone, Terri. You are surrounded by so much love every second of every day.

Many hugs,
Leslie

[addy]

Dearest Terri,

I don't know that I can say it any better than Leslie just did. You were always there for so many of us no matter what. How many times did I call you in a panic? And we would talk forever and then end of laughing about things.

Even though I never met Corky I felt I knew him through your posts.

You are the strongest, bravest person I have ever met. Your heart is so large and my own life made so much richer for having you in my corner.

I know it is hard for you now and I hope that pain eases somewhat.

Truly Corky's larger than life spirit was drawn directly from you.

I miss you dear friend and I need you too.

All my love,
addy

[Bichonluver3]

Checking in again, dear Teri. I miss all your posts and, of course, Corky belonged to all of us so I miss him too. I hope you are taking care of yourself. Please find some peace in knowing that you are such an important part of the family here and everyone is standing beside you during this difficult time. You know that if there was any way I could change things, I would. But all I can do is send much love and many prayers your way.
Hugs,
Carrol

[littleone1]

Thank you my dear friends for all of your very kind words, love, hugs, and prayers.

Thank you for lighting the candle for us Marianne. I saw it when I lit one for Corky.

Leslie and Addy, I feel the same way about you. You can call me anytime Addy.

Thank you for always checking on me Carrol.

All of you have a special place in my life and in my heart.

[Harley PoMMom]

Sending you huge and loving hugs, my dear friend.

[clydetheboosmom]

Terri -

I wish I had all kinds of great things to say. Leslie always says such awesome things. I am thinking of you. I remember you handing me strength when I didn't think I could wake up in the morning...you will have my eternal heart.

Many hugs.

Lynne

[Barton]

Terri and Corky

Thanks for being Reggie's earth and guardian angels today. He really needed you and you came through in a big way. Corky always did look out for Reggie so I am not surprised at all that he still is.

Much love and gratitude
Holly and Reggie

[littleone1]

I met with Corky's vet yesterday. I wanted to thank him personally for taking such good care of Corky for so many years. We talked about 15 minutes.

Dr. R. told me that Corky's internal organs were shutting down with everything that happened to him in such a short period of time. It wasn't just his kidneys and the internal bleeding. I now have closure knowing that there wasn't anything any of us could have done to help Corky, and that it was a good thing that it happened so quickly. He said that it was a true act of love by letting Corky go in peace.

Dr. R. had such positive things to to say about Corky and me. He also told me that I did a remarkable job in taking care of Corky, and that he didn't know many people that would have done what I did for my little one. As I was getting ready to leave, he gave me a big hug. Dr. R. is a very special, caring vet.

Thank you my dear friends Lori, Lynne, and Holly for the love, hugs, and your very kind words.

[mypuppy]

My dear big sis and special friend,

I second what Dr. R. said. You were the BEST mommy to Corky, and he knew that deep inside. He proved it with his love and loyalty through so many years, and you should always feel good about yourself for the wonderful life you gave your boy, and for pouring all your heart, soul, time and love to him which he didn't receive from his previous, terrible family.

You are an awesome MOM...Chin up..

Love you dearly...Jeanette and Princess

[Casey's Mom]

You were an amazing mom to Corky Terri. He was so lucky that he got a second chance and ended up with you.

Love and many hugs,

[Cyn719]

Terri

Corky knew he struck gold when he was given a second chance and came to live with you. You were the best mommy ever!! You gave him all your love and all the care he needed. You did everything you could for him and he knew that. The time he was with you was the happiest years of his life!!!

Love you and Angel Corky xo

[littleone1]

It's 13 years today that Jay and I brought Corky home. It's also 4 months since Corky was set free. I miss him very much. He was my life after Jay passed away. He was with me 24/7. So much of my time, everyday, was devoted to my little Corkster.

He was such a sweet, loving, gentle little boy. One time when he was at the park, a fledgling had fallen out of a tree. Corky picked it up ever so gently in his mouth, and he put it under the tree. As time went on, when we were walking around the park, a little bird would follow us around the park. It would try to peck at Corky, but it never touched him. It was as if the little bird was trying to thank Corky for helping it.

I'll never understand why Corky had to go through so much in his life. He never hurt anyone or anything.

Thank you Jeanette, Ellen, and Cindy for your very kind words.

Many of you know that I'm still not reading posts. I still think of you and your furbabies often. I am still in contact with several of my dear friends.

I'm going to light a candle for Corky. I'm also goiing to light one for all of our K9C furbabies, those that are with us, and those that have been set free. I love all of you.

[mytil]

Big (((((hugs))))) to you Terri -

[Harley PoMMom]

Huge loving hugs from me as well.

[labblab]

I am here too, Terri! So today marks a double "homecoming" for Corky. The day he first joined you and Jay together. And the day he rejoined Jay once again. It must be so hard for you to be separated from them both. We understand that you need this time for yourself, Terri. We will welcome you back on the main forum with open arms when you are ready to rejoin us there. But for right now, I hope you know that you have a special home, too, right here on this thread. With your k9cushings family alongside you. I always rush here to see what you have posted. :o

Sending lots of love,
Marianne

[Cyn719]

Love and hugs Terri

Angel Corky...love you
xoxoxo

[Squirt's Mom]

Hi sweetie,

Today there is a party going on up "there". Corky and Jay are singing and dancing their hearts out while others we love who are also "there" hop, howl, yip and yap along in unison. All this singing and dancing is creating a mighty wind, a warm and loving wind, that is being funneled out straight to wrap around you so you know you are always remembered, always loved, always appreciated...and never alone.

I hope that you will soon feel this warm, loving wind gently drying your tears and filling your heart with happy memories today and every day to come.

Many hugs,
Leslie

HA! If you look closely, every now and then a little bird lights on Corky's head and bends over to look him in the face, causing Corky to grin cross-eyed! :D

[mypuppy]

Awww, sweet Terri,

The story of Corky and the birdie will always remind me what an innocent, gentle, loving soul Corky truly was. Simply precious! God Bless You, Jay and your FOREVER DOG:) Corky, today and always.

We love you with all our hearts...:)

Jeanette and your sweet niece Princess

[littleone1]

Thank you everyone for your love, hugs, and understanding. I am so thankful that I found such a wonderful, caring family. I would have been lost without all of you. Even though Corky had cushings for over three years, thanks to your help and knowledge, Corky had a good quality of life up until all of the changes happened. They were not related to cushings.

He really was a very special little boy.

(((((((HUGS))))))) to all of you.

[littleone1]

I can't believe that it's been 6 months since I released Corky. A day doesn't go by that he's not in my thoughts. I still cry off and on every day. I sill miss him very much.

About 2 weeks ago I saw my neighbor's Boston Terrier. He's not quite 2. Thats' the first time I saw him since Corky was going for his walks. He started jumping up giving me kisses. He reminds me so much of Corky. Their markings are almost identical. That was hard on me.

I am finally starting to get my life back in order. I joined a senior center and started taking Zumba, Aerobics, and Bone Builders classes about a month ago. There are so many activities to do there. The people are great.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you that are going through difficult times and also with those of you that have lost a furbaby.

[Harley PoMMom]

My heart goes out to you, my dear friend, and completely understand how you feel. Forever they live in our hearts filled with deep love.

Sending huge and loving hugs to you, Lori

[Cyn719]

Terri

So glad to hear you are enjoying your new activities:)

I feel for you...I know how it feels to miss our little ones - I lost 2 of them 4 weeks apart and it took me 5 years to get Penny---

Know Corky is always in our hearts!!!!!!!!

love and hugs xoxoxoxo

I still say the best way to cope is to get another. I've lost four and each time another followed right behind. I fear dispite the pain I can't live without them. Even the time between them is increadably harder

I'm like incompasitated. Worthless. But that's just me. It still takes forever to get past it but a least there are a few smiles too. Can't live without the friendship of a dog.

Gee Cindy.... Five years. And two so close together. Man.

Anyway I hope your doing ok Terri.

Dearest Friend,

It is so hard to lose such a huge part of your life. Baby steps until you can handle more. we all love Corky and none of us will forget him either. You both are always in our hearts.

I will say I had a big smile at the thought of you doing Zumba and Areobics. You go girl!!!!!!!:D:D:D I am glad everyone is so nice and you are meeting new people.

I love you and I think about you all the time.

love,
addy

Hi Terri,

There is a geriatric Boston at my vet's who's mom passed and she is in need of someone to love her. You and Corky came to my mind the second I saw Tasha and I burst into tears there in the hallway with her in my arms. Tasha's mom passed recently and she needs a home for the remainder of her days, which will likely be with us if she hasn't found a home by the time we move into our house. I can't stop thinking about Tasha and her situation, and when I think of or go see her, I think of you and Corky so I just can't leave her there.

I tell you this so you know that Corky lives on in the hearts of so many, that he touched others so deeply, that he will always be with us. So you know that the love and devotion the two of you shared will be carried on in ways you may never know about.

I am so proud of you for tackling life through your pain and I know your little man is, too.

But, seriously, ZUMBA???!!??? Have you seen how those folks move???? I tried it once and found it was much easier to keep up after I collapsed on the floor. :p

Many hugs and much love,
Leslie

Hi Terri :)

It's so good to hear that last update...I am so proud of you for actively picking up your life eventhough it is so hard to do :) After Sogno passed, it was only 3 weeks later that Yunah entered my life..and at that time that was the right thing to do. After Yunah passed I needed several months to move on with a new dog in my life... It's different, every time and one has to do what is best for them :) And again, I am very proud of you for doing exactly that...

Have lots of fun with the Zumba and other classes..:D All our best,

Saskia and Mhina :)

Thank you so much my very dear friends. You have always been here for Corky and me. I think about all of you. I enjoy chatting with so many of you.

Our furbabies do remain forever in our hearts. Lots of love and hugs to all of you.

Dear Terri,

I am so glad you are out there taking Zumba and meeting new people. I should be doing the same, but work gets a little in the way.

It was great hearing everything you have been up to.

In your own time will be when you are ready for a new furbaby. There are times I think I might have gotten Ella to soon, but I wouldn't change a thing, except not having so much stress with work.

Take care and hugs always!!!

Dear Terry
I think about you and our beloved Corky often. Go for it girl with Zumba. You have inspired me to give it a try.
Hugs Sonja and Apollo
