Lena, Teacup Poodle w/ adrenal tumor - Lena is now an angel

Sending you hugs and hopes for smiles among the tears as you touch the memories you so cherish.

Thank you! There are so many more days of happy memories now. Some still kill me, but not as many as before.

My precious angel, today it's eight years that you've been gone. So many memories are popping up in Facebook. Pictures of Xmas' with the kids; snowstorms with you, Gable and Cooper. I think of you every day...lately I've been calling Sibble "Lena" or "Sibblelee". I don't think she knows it's not her real name anymore. I miss you all. Cooper is still hanging on. I don't think he remembered playing in the snow with Gable with the two little snowstorms we had. Definitely not like the old days. Raina did get a kick out of it, trying to catch the snowflakes and then eating the snow. She and Sibbie did chase each other around while Cooper just stood there and watched. She's very cute and funny, she makes me laugh, and Sibbie still hasn't killed her, which continues to shock me. You would've loved her, Lee, and I think she would have loved to cuddle up to you (Sibbie does not like it. Sometimes Raina lies next to her while she's sleeping, but as soon as Sibbie realizes she's there, she gets up and moves...LOL).

You are, and always be, the dog of my heart, then Gable who I also miss terribly.....

Love you now and forever...

Mommy

Sending much love and many hugs to you, my dear friend, forever and always in loving memory...

Marianne

Sending huge and loving hugs.

Thank you both...having friends like you is a blessing and a huge comfort.

Love,
Joan

These anniversaries never get any easier tho I hope over time you have found more reasons to smile and maybe laugh when the memories come. We are among the blessed to have known a love so deep.

Hugs,
Leslie

They are, Leslie...and I do smile and talk about her more.

Love, Joan

Happy birthday, my precious angel. You would've been 23 today...I think of you, and miss you, every day. I can't believe that you've been gone eight years now. I just found your little front carrier that I used to carry you in all the time. I was thinking I should donate it, but I still can't let it go.

You're my baby girl, always and forever...

Love, Mommy

Happy Birthday, dearest little girl!

Forever in all our hearts ❤️❤️❤️

Another Christmas without you, my Precious...but you have Daddy with you now and I know that you, Gable and Doree must be thrilled. Sibbie has been sitting in my lab constantly since Dad died, and i know it's you coming to me through her because that's exactly what you would be doing. You and Gable were always my comfort during difficult times. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think of you and all the others. The Xmas pictures of your last one here came up on Facebook this morning.

I miss you, Lee...

Merry Christmas in Heaven, my precious angel.

Mommy loves you always, now and forever...

Sending huge and loving hugs.

Same to you, Lori...Happy New Year.

Sending big (((((hugs))))) Joan.

Thank you, Terry Hugging you right back~

Hello, my precious Lena. It's nine years now, and I have thought of you and missed you every single day. I'm slowly cleaning out the house and have found so many pictures of you from when you were a baby up until the very last snowfall that you were a part of with Doree, Gable and Cooper. You were so teeny, but such a big part of our family and especially my heart. Give Daddy a kiss for me, tomorrow will be three months that he's been with you.

I miss you all...

Love you now and forever...
Mommy

Sending you much love and many hugs, my dear friend.

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, my dear friend.

More hugs and love coming your way from me as well ♥♥♥

Thank you, Lori...love and hugs back!

Happy birthday, my Precious. I was going through a ton of pictures today and found some of me making my Xmas shortbreads with you in your puppy front carrier watching me. I always told everyone that you could cook because you were attached to me while I did everything, because you were my everything, Lee. So many pictures that I haven't seen in years...and so many memories of our life together. Someday I will put them in albums.

Raina was spayed and had a hernia repaired yesterday, so I did relaxing things that I've been putting off so that I could keep an eye on her. She has been sleeping a lot, but finally ate today. Once she starts feeling better I may have to put the onesie on her to keep her from getting to her stitches. You were so good when you were spayed and never bothered your stitches. I used to say where's your boo boo and you'd roll over and show me. You were always an angel.

I could swear I felt another presence all day, I don't know which one of you it was, but it was definitely one of you. There were so many pictures of you with Andee when you were a baby, you and the cats who all accepted you. You were everyone's sweetheart.

I miss you, and all the rest every day, my darling girl.

Mommy loves you now and forever....

Dear Joan,

I read your sweet note soon after you posted it and have been thinking about you ever since. I’m tardy in adding a reply because I kept hoping to find some special words to honor your dearest Angel Lena and your lives together. But I don’t want to wait any longer. So I’ll simply tell you what a privilege it’s been through our time together here to read of your love and your most special of bonds. It warms my heart to this very minute.

Happy Birthday, indeed, sweet girl. And many many many hugs to your mom who will love you forever.

I feel the same about you, dear Marianne...this forum has been a huge comfort to me since the first time I posted. I don't know how I could've gotten through all the losses without you and all my friends here.

Your words and friendship have always been special to me.

Love you...
Joan
