This is so moving and the love you had for your sweet Sushi has been memorialized. What a beautiful relationship you shared. I love your tribute Jen--so would Sushi. All my very best, Stef. (Thanks so much for sharing :D)
A loss such as yours is always hard. Actually had to dab some tears away while reading this magnificent poem. Gorgeous work and fabulous colors and photos.
I have been sitting here for what seems ages not knowing what to write Jen. your poem has me in tears flowing like a river, my darling Kobe has incurable cancer and I count every day I have left with her as a blessing. Your Sushi was beautiful and you have created a most beautiful and fitting tribute to honour her. I am sorry for your loss. You must miss him so much!!!!!
Beautiful poem- I shed a tear or two! What a stunning LO. You have really reflected your love of your beautiful boy. I am so sorry for your loss. Our fur babies give us so much more then we can ever give back. You have really showen your love for Sushi in this LO.
What a sweet, lovely way to memorialize your beloved Sushi: this beautifully colorful page, the doilies and flowers and, above all, your wonderful poem!!!!!
Oh, Jen.....I am typing through my tears.....what a beautiful and poignant LO!!! How difficult it is to lose a beloved pet like Sushi. You have scrapbooked the memory of your little companion so BEAUTIFULLY. Big hugs to you and DH....so sorry for your loss. Fave
I think I'm going to cry...this is so sweet I know your heartache I lost three dogs within 18 mts from old age 2 years and my Phoebe back in Feb. I have cat named Sushi, I will now always think of your precious poodle when I call her name. Hugs Dianne
My sweet boy Sushi! It's been 2 years now since he's gone and it helped me to do this LO. The poem reads "I've changed my ways a little. I cannot now run with you in the evenings in the yard, except in a kind of dream: and you, if you dream a moment; you can see me there. So save awhile the paw marks on the front door where I used to scratch to go out or in, as you would soon open; and leave on the kitchen floor the marks from my drinking bowl. I can not lie by your fire as I used to on my little doggie cushion;nor in my bed at the end of your bed...No,all the night through I lie alone. But your kind thoughts have place me less than 5 feet away in the living room where firelight so often plays. And where you sit and read-and I fear often grieving for me. Every night your lamplight lies on my place of rest. You men and women live so long it is hard to think of ever dying. A little dog would get tired living so long. I hope that when you are lying under the ground with me (as we are going to put his ashes in our grave) your lives will appear as good and joyful as mine. No dears, that's to much to hope, you are not so well cared for as I have been. You have never known the passionate undivided fidelities that I knew. Your minds are perhaps too active, too many sided, but to me you were true. You were not masters but friends; I was your friend;I Loved you well, and was loved. Deep love endures to the end and far past the end. If this is my end, I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours.
