Thanks so much for featuring this layout. Our cat was run over Saturday morning and we had to take him to the vet to put him down. He was a wonderful friend for 14 years and you've helped me to find a way to remember and honor him, as well as find closure. Thanks again. I hope you don't mind if I use this layout for my inspiration.
The first thing that caught my eye is the beautiful picture in the middle of the LO! Awesome photography! Then I read the comments and was moved to tears. So sad for you. This, however, is an amazing tribute! BEAUTIFUL LO!
What an absolute beautiful layout. I have been seeing these layouts as featured items for a while and got choked up every time I saw them, even though I didn't know for sure if you had lost your buddy. I'm very sorry that he's no longer with you.
Just yesterday I was picturing how I wanted to scrap a photo of my hand in my mom's (she has alzheimers) - and then I saw your lo. This is exactly the feeling I want to convey. I'd like to lift this in the future - may I?
I can't even begin to describe to you how much this truly touched me. My family was faced with a very similar ordeal with my pride and joy boston terrier, BUD. He was not just our family pet, but he was one of us. He was like another kid in the family. He too lost function in his hind legs, but we just couldn't let him go because we too saw that "light" in his eyes. We did everything we could for him. It has been four years since he passed and I still can hardly talk about it. You did a wonderful job making this special tribute to your boy.
Oh wow, this is so prefectly beautiful...from the date I know it has been awhile but I know you still have Duke in your hearts! I am so sorry for your loss.
The journaling is so sweet and heartfelt! Makes me want to cry! I love how you scrapped this and I really love the picture where your holding his paw, it really brings out how much you really loved him. I also know exactly how you feel. It is so heartwrenching! Great tribute also!
I cannot even begin to tell you how touched I am by this lo and also the other one you did of Duke..I happened to stumble upon "Letting Go" and had to look for this one because I needed to know his story and your journaling is so heartbreaking. I know and understand exactly what you went through and your tributes to Duke is truly "from the heart"! I am so very sorry!
Amazing, heart wrenching LO- the pic is worth a million. I sit here with tears running down my face as i know this is something we all have to face, the loss of a beloved pet. I am glad you still have him with you!!! My 11 yr old lab just recently went thru this as well. She too, is doing well but still has problems with keeping her footing on the hard wood floor and has learned to slow down as she makes corners or comes off the stairs to the hard wood. This goes straight into my faves- again- i so love that priceless pic!! I am glad your little buddy is doing well and i hope for many years to come!!
awww... this is sooo sad. I'm so sorry about your dog. This is a beautiful tribute and the picture of the hand and paw is especially touching. {{hugs}} Sue
Wow...goosebumps all over. You did such a tremendous job on this. I can't imagine how hard it was. The pic of you holding his paw really shows the love you had for him. So sorry for your loss!
what a wonderful layout for a wonderful and brave friend. I can't even imagine the impact of this loss...with 2 dogs of my own, my heart goes out to you. xxoo
this is very touching and obviously a terrible experience to have. thank you for sharing your feelings and your loss. made tears come to my eyes...thank you
I just viewed your Letting Go layout and this one makes me cry also. This one is also so beautiful. May your scrapbooking bring you comfort and healing. He was so lucky to have you all as his loving family. God Bless.
Many of you know that we faced a HUGE scare the past couple of weeks with our dog Duke. His hind legs stopped working and we did not know what was going on with him, or if we were going to lose him. After a trip to the neurologist, it was discovered that he had a 'stroke' in his spinal cord which caused him to lose function in those legs. Now, 3 weeks later he is on the mend and can stand on his own about 60% of the time. We are VERY lucky and VERY thankful to have him in our home still! This is a layout that I did during that time when we weren't sure what was happening to him. I handstitched around the photo to make a pocket for the journaling tag which reads:
I begged and I prayed, for one more day with you. Those prayers were answered, though we don't know for how long. It is gut wrenching to watch such a stoic and proud animal whimper for the help you need just to stand up. We see the light still gleaming in your eyes, we see the spirit of a puppy ever present in your sweet face. We are selfishly not ready to say goodbye to our protector, our friend, our baby whom we have loved and who has loved us honestly and completely your entire life. Tears pour from my eyes at the very thought of a single day passing without you in our home.My sweet Dukers, so long as that light dances in your eyes we will be fighting for your life and doing what it takes to make you better. We will be holding on to hope, we will be holding on to you. We love you sweet boy.
*Update* I am so heartsick to have to say, we lost our angel boy tonight. 7/26/07
