My baby doll Scoop

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
It was Raleigh and Molly's birthday Saturday. I hope you gave them a special birthday wish. Raleigh turned 10. When you turned 10 that was when you started with your diabetes. I sure hope Raleigh, Archie or Gus don't have to go through stuff like that. Although you did quite well with the diabetes until you started with Cushings then everything went downhill. I am so sorry you had so many problems. You fought hard my little trooper. Miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my baby doll Scoop,
It's really cold here tonight. It's going to be cold again tomorrow.
John was here today. Then Marni came by. The little guys went crazy. They were after Bella. She was playing with them. Gus was running around like he was on a race track. They must have been exhausted but they went out and then ate their supper before they went to sleep.
John brought me a copy of Archie's blood work. He picked it up from the vet for me. I don't like it. I am so worried there is something wrong with Archie. Please, please watch over Archie!! I don't know how I could handle it if something is wrong with him. It would be so very hard on me. I love all you guys so very much!!
Miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my big boy Scoop,
Tonight it is another week since you have been gone. It is now 18 weeks.
Love you and miss you. Always in my heart.
I forgot to tell you that yesterday Molly bought sunflowers for you. Still have the ones from last week and some from the bouquets. I planted some sunflower seeds out front over the summer. 2 flowers came up but it was late and they didn't grow fast enough. With the cold weather we thought they were done but the one opened up a bit the other day. Sunflowers will always remind me of you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
Tonight I was thinking about Thanksgiving and I just started crying thinking about last Thanksgiving and that you won't be here to enjoy the turkey with us this year. The holidays will be special because they will be Archie and Gus first ones but they will also be tough because you won't be here. You always enjoyed Thanksgiving and Christmas. So they will be tough without you but it will be special for the little guys. Their first ones.
Gus is now 4 months old and Archie is 5 months old. Archie has lost 3 teeth that I know of in the last 5 days. They have grown so much.
Love you, miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my baby doll Scoop,
Sorry wasn't on here last night. Went to sleep early. Molly used my computer tonight so it's late.
One year ago Molly and I took you to Metropolitan for the first time. I was thinking about that day. Just seems like yesterday. Whenever we went to one of the special hospitals I got to hold you for the trip. I loved holding you.
Love you, miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my big boy Scoop,
Thinking of you. Always in my heart.
Love you, miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,

Hi Vicki: I have been reading your posts when I can bear to read it. My sweet CoCo died 9/19 and I thought I would be able to at least spend a day without crying and being so miserable by now, but like you I see him everywhere and think about him all the time and am really wondering how I will get through Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have gone through the grieving process so many times in the past, but this one seems so much worse. CoCo was 12 and so sick, but never ready to lose them. I can tell by your posts that Scoop was the most cared for and loved baby in the world and he is looking down and still knowing the love you have for him. I am sending you love and peace and just hold on as they say this grief also will pass. Sorry to hijack your loving memory of your sweet baby Scoop. Love, JoAnne

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
Raleigh started playing with some toys again. He was probably missing you and it took him some time to get used to Archie and Gus. It is so good to see him show some interest. I'm sure he misses you lots. He loved being with you. We all miss you lots.
Love you, miss you.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Vicki and Joanne,

I join the both of you right along with the others who have lost their precious heart babies. My Princess was released on 9/18 and as you still can't wrap my head around her not being here when it seems I just had her/saw her 5 seconds ago. It has been far from easy for my family and me to the point that my oldest daughter got so down that she just rescued a baby kitten left on side of the road 2 weeks ago. He is a cutie and very squeezeable indeed, poor thing. At the same time I was far from ready to welcome another furry being into my life because I am still holding on to my sweet girl. I know it sounds awfully selfish and I am loving the little guy, but it's all so soon for me and the feelings of guilt do take over because this is still my girls home. It has been for 11 years and it hurts to see this little bouncy thing laying where she once laid, eating where she ate, etc. On the other hand, my 17 and 9 year old girls have been very down and this little kitty has brought some joy back into their lives after losing their sister Princess. I know this little guy will very soon grow on me and I will have a special bond with, but I also know my heart will always belong to my Princess. I am dreading her 11th birthday coming up in 2 weeks and our first Thanksgiving and Christmas without her. many tears are rolling already. it seems so wrong, but I have grieved many times before and I guess I will try my hardest to get through these as well.

I wish you both peace in your hearts, strength to endure this deep pain and hidden blessings.

tight hugs.

Xo Jeanette

JoAnne, Jeanette,
Thank you both for all your heartfelt words. I am sorry you both are going through this. I know exactly how you are feeling. I can't believe Scoop has been gone all these months. His birthday in Oct. brought tears and I know the holidays will. Scoop will always have a special place in my heart and I will always love and miss him. When I started thinking about getting another Pug it was NOT easy. When I had to make up my mind and tell the breeder yes or no if I wanted Gus, it was hard. I kept thinking I had enough love for another but I too felt guilty. It was hard to know what was right until I said yes, then it felt right plus I asked my daughter if she thought Scoop would mind. Once I decided about Gus, it was easy with Archie. My love for Raleigh, Archie and Gus does not take away from my love for Scoop. I love them all very much.

Making Scoop's birthday special helped me get through it.

Having Raleigh, Archie and Gus will help at the holidays although I know there will still be tears for Scoop but without the other three I know it would be even harder.

Wishing you both strength for the up coming days.
Love and hugs,
Vicki
