My baby doll Scoop

Hi my big boy Scoop,
Not much to tell you tonight except I love you! I have pictures to show Molly so we will be doing that shortly. Kathy made me smile when she said about you and Buddy and Simba being best buds. I love you and miss you so very much.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
Molly's out tonight with her friends. I hope she's careful. I got a few pictures today, not many. They are ones Molly asked me to get printed. You are sitting on her lap looking at her.
I took Raleigh to John's house today and we went with him and Comet to Comet's vet to pick up Comet's food. I wanted to see what it was like there. I'm thinking of switching Raleigh from the vet the two of you went to. I just don't know if I can go back there any more. I have a hard time just driving past the place but then I feel like I will be breaking a tie I had with you. Not sure yet what to do. Raleigh put on the brakes as soon as we walked in the vet's door. It was just like he knew where he was. The girls tried giving him carrots and a biscuit treat. He didn't want any. Raleigh has become pretty picky with food. He used to gobble up carrots when you would eat them. Now he won't touch them. I think a lot of times he did what you would do. He followed his big brother. Raleigh used to love being with you. We all did. We all miss you so very much.
Do you remember the lady at the pharmacy who would talk to you and she had a pug named Dolly? They belonged to the Lehigh Valley Pug Group. I talked to her today and she told me she lost her Dolly back in May. So heartbreaking.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my baby doll Scoop,
5 weeks ago tonight was the last night you spent here at home with your family. Saturdays are so very hard for me. So are Sundays and Mondays and Fridays can be a bit too. I miss you so very, very much my Scoop.
Every morning I wake up and I have such a cry.
Molly bought you some new sunflowers today. They are so pretty. There are 5 yellow ones and 5 red tinted ones. The ones Molly got you last Monday aren't in too bad of shape so they are in the vase with the new ones. They all look so beautiful in the vase.
The lady that I talked to when I was at Peaceable Kingdom the other day emailed me to tell me they had found a Pug who has to have surgery then he will be put up for adoption. That was so nice of the lady to do that. Molly had seen on facebook about the Pug. She said the Pug was found in a Tupperware container with holes poked in it so he could breathe. He has a tumor that has to be removed along with neutering and some teeth extractions. The nice lady said he is about 8 years old. I feel so sorry for him. Wish I could adopt all of them.
I wish you were still here with us. I miss you so much.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my big boy Scoop,
5 weeks ago you were in the hospital. Every weekend I think about you being there and not at home with us. It makes me so sad. Tomorrow night it will be 5 weeks since you have been gone. I still miss you so very much. I cry so much cause I miss you my sweet boy.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
My computer is acting up so much. I lost 2 messages I wrote to you. I will try again.
Now the time has passed. Around 11:10PM is when I got that horrible phone call telling me you went into cardiac arrest. She asked, should they keep doing CPR? I screamed YES! and flew out of the house to get to you. When I got there you were already gone. I didn't get to hold you again before you passed away. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you my sweet boy. Every Monday night I sit here with you on my lap, crying as I write to you. The pain is still so deep just like my love for you will always be. That night is just so painful. I miss you so, so much my sweet Scoop. Today I picked up a few pictures I had done. They were taken the day after Molly and I brought you home. Molly and I brought you home on Saturday evening (Jan 27, 2001) and Sunday morning you were shaking so much we couldn't get you to stop. We got scared. We didn't know what was wrong. We wrapped you in a blanket and held you so tight thinking you were cold and when you wouldn't stop we took you to Valley Central to see what was wrong. How ironic. The last time I took you to Valley Central it was a Sunday morning. Your life with us started at Valley Central and it ended at Valley Central. Only thing is we weren't at Valley Central with you when it ended. I am so sorry I wasn't there with you. I miss you so much. We all do! I can't express all the hurt and anger and how sorry I am for the way things ended. A total shock to me. Oh, I just get so angry sometimes I could scream and sometimes I do.
I love you and miss you so very much. We all do. I'm sure Raleigh does too. He loves his big brother. Before you got sick he would always sit or lay down where you were.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my baby doll Scoop,
Not much to tell you about tonight. Picked up a few pictures today. Some of them are when Molly bought those Halloween hats for you and Raleigh and she put them on you. You were always a good sport when it came to stuff like that.
You were always such a good boy.
I forgot to tell you the other day when Molly got you flowers and I put the new ones and the ones from last week together it made for such a big, beautiful bunch. Molly said they looked like a "burst of sunshine."
Raleigh's allergies have been bothering him lately. He rubs his belly a lot.
Love and miss you so much.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Hi my big boy Scoop,
Molly was looking at some pictures of you that were taken the day after we brought you home. She said it looked like your paws were so big. You were only 3 1/2 months old and I guess you still hadn't grown into them yet. I can't believe 12 1/2 years went by and now you're not here with us any more. It makes me so sad. We all miss you so very much. I wish I could hold you again and give you kisses and ear rubs. Love you so much.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Thinking of you Vicki and sending you lots of hugs and love. Xxxx

Hi my sweetheart Scoop,
Raleigh seems a little odd sometimes. He will be in the house and all of a sudden he will start barking. I don't hear anything so I don't think that he does because it seems like his hearing is getting worse. After supper dad took Raleigh out to pee. He stood by the front porch and barked at the bunny planter. Dad said he wouldn't stop until he made him move away. That seems strange for him to do that.
It is pouring down rain right this minute. It has been doing that off and on all day. It was pretty humid today. Had to run the AC today. Didn't have to the last few days. It had been pretty nice and comfortable.
Love and miss you so very much my sweet boy.
Hugs, kisses, and ear rubs.
Love you forever,
Mom

Scoop's mommy,

My heart breaks right along side with you. Every word, every loving heartfelt remembrance, every tear, I ache with you. My beloved Astro left this world on July 20, I too am lost, hurting, aching with a void that cannot soon be filled. This I know you feel too. And you are not alone.

xoxo
Much love, tight hugs and peace

Donna, Astro's mom.
