Holidays can be hard...

[labblab]

Aha, so you’re in Indiana now! I was born and raised in Iowa, went to college in Colorado (we flat-landers do love the mountains!) where I met hubby, then we lived in Los Angeles for a few years (his original home), but now have been in Atlanta ever after. I spent far less years of my life in Iowa, but honestly it’ll always remain “home” to me, after all.

We would love to see those photos of Ginger. If you’d like, you can email them to us at k9cushings@gmail.com and maybe I (or more likely another staffer who’s much better at manipulating photos ;-) can get them uploaded into a reply here. I’m such a doofus myself that I can’t make any promises, but I’m surely willing to try!

I will definitely do that! You will love them. Thank you so much!

Ging loved Halloween. Not so much the holiday, but seeing all the people. She would sit in the window watching and waiting.. as soon as she caught a glimpse of someone coming up the walk, her tail wagged as fast as it could go!. I truly think she thought everyone was coming to see HER!
She loved everyone and never met a stranger..
I will miss that so much this year.

I miss that every Halloween. Lena loved to sit on the stoop with me while I handed out candy to the kids. Someone always wanted to take a picture of her, or her with their kids. Sibbie hates all the costumes and doesn't like anyone touching her but us. Then there's the other ones barking at every single person either coming to the door or just walking past...and it's on Sunday this year! Arghhh! A whole day of my dogs barking...It used to be one of my favorite holidays

I miss my good, little baby...

Sending hugs!! We are having so many " firsts" without Ginger it seems like we just get past one and dry the tears, and another comes up. So very thankful for all the wonderful years and memories... but the hurt is still there.

P.S. My pumpkin this year!
She loved seeing the kids…81689CBD-2F3C-479B-8684-7130440B6609.jpeg

Colleen, I did it! Finally figured out how to add your photo!! So here’s Angel Ginger for everybody to see.

Your pumpkin is amazing, and lit by an angel’s glowing spirit, for sure! I just love it…

(I’ll also go back and try to add your other photos later on in another reply ;-)

Love, Marianne

Woohoo! You rock! I will see if I can see her on here. Thank you so much.
Love, Colleen!
