RIP Jojo <3 *8/23/06~6/29/10*

[Goonie]

Hallie was my German Shepherd who had epilepsy since she was one year old. She had grand mal seizures and as the years went by, the seizures were more frequent to the point where she never woke up after a 4-day seizing episode. I finally had to stop being selfish and let her go. It was the most difficult decision I ever had to make.
To this day, I'm still a basket case on the anniversary of her passing, and it'd been 4.5 years. I never got an urn to put her ashes in (they're still in a lame wooden box) because JA would've killed me for spending money on that sort of stuff. But after seeing the teddy bear, it's the perfect object to hold her remains and allow me to hold her close to my heart (oh god, I'm going to lose it ).

Michele, Hallie was my baby and we had such a tight bond that I knew exactly when she was going to be sick even before she exhibits any symptoms/signs. We had a very strong spiritual connection and when she left, she took a part of me with her.

(I need to send you an email one of these days to tell you about my last two puppies)

I am so sorry Gina,I am crying my eyes out for you right now (((((hugs))))))
That teddy bear keepsake would be perfect for you to hug and cuddle

 

[puppytoes72]

Lori and Dawn,you guys pick on Sara too much :lol:
Sara,I wouldn't hide the booze if you showed....sounds like you need some strong stuff to knock out whatever is making you sick. :wink:

Gina, that is so sad about Hallie. I've heard you mention her a few times and it's obvious you all had quite a bond. It is so tough to lose them ever, but especially when it's before their time.
Michele, they are quite mean to me aren't they?

 

[puppytoes72]

Yes Sara they are BRUTAL,but I think it's just because they love you :wink:

 

[amylee159]

Oh Gina Thats soo sad I'm so sorry!

Michele, I would go with the one YOU want. They are all nice

 

[spurlee01]

Yes Sara they are BRUTAL,but I think it's just because they love you :wink:

Of course they do, what's not to love?

 

[diamc]

Gina, that is so terribly sad, I'm sorry. As hard as it was, you did the right thing, you had to free her from those terrible seizures. The teddy bear sounds like the perfect thing to hold her remains, you really need to do that for her AND yourself.

Awe Gina I am sorry. I do remember hearing about her before but I never heard the whole story(((HUGS)))

 

[Goonie]

Oh my lord! Michele, I had the strangest dream about you this morning. I dreamt that you had gotten a pre-juvie male from Tom (don't know how he came into the picture, given we were wondering about Barb's poopers), but didn't have him in your possession yet because Tom was trying to be 1000% sure that it was indeed a he. I was so happy for you that I was crying crocodile tears. However, when I woke up, I was very confused as to whether it really happened or not (not sure why).


Thanks everybody. Sorry for depressing everyone -- that wasn't my intention (honest).

 

[spurlee01]

Lol Gina don't you hate when you wake up and can't remember if your dream was real or not? It can get so confusing!

 

[puppytoes72]

Gina,that is so weird! I've had 2 dreams about Jojo,1 was sad and 1 was nice,but I can't remember the details.
Btw,who is Tom??

I know when I was looking at all the urns somewhere I saw an article that explains how big of an urn that I would need. Now I can't find it Do any of you remember where that was mentioned?

 

[MissT]

Tom is tnd dragons I think- username 'TheWolfmanTom' if I'm thinking of the right person. Michelle, I think most of the urns have a weight on them?

Oh ok.

This site only had the dimensions w/ 1oz written next to it.They had the Flying Home (turqiouse one)and the Trinity Keepsake(pink one) for $14. I called up and they said you can only fit a couple of tablespoons of ashes in it,so that won't work
http://www.ashestoashes.com/Cremation-keepsakes.htm

I double checked on the other site and they are a bit larger, and they have the cubic inches=pounds stated on each keepsake so now I am going to reconsider all the larger ones and maybe the heart-stone but I really wanted a standing up urn without having to use a "stand" to stand it up. (geez,try to say that 3x fast :roll: )
