I remember the first LO so well, I printed it for my inspiration book - please ceom by and check out my site, which is all about scrapbooking emotions -your work is exactly what we do. Beautiful tribute...scrapbookingfromthesinsideout.com
Absolutely beautiful LO. So well done and I can feel your heart in it. My family and I had to put down our dog Tipsy in February. I am too emotional yet to scrap a page, as it still makes me cry, but your LO moved me so much. I am sorry for your loss.
This is so beautiful, last december I had to let go of my shepard. It's important for me to scrap our memories. This truly warm my heart.
Sorry for your lost.
I am so sorry for your loss. Its so hard to lose someone, including pets. I have to do this soon too so I know how hard it was for you to scrap this. I have to give myself some time before I can touch the photos because it is very raw still. You did an awesome job with a really tough issue.
I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful tribute layout. Gorgeous. I understand your feelings right now, we just lost our girl on April 1st. She's been in my life since I was 9 years old. I'd love to be able to make a layout about losing her, but when I start to scrap, I start to
cry.
I lost my sweet kitty after 19 years, boy do I know this feeling. I have yet to do a LO after nearly 3 years. It took courage to do this and it turned out beautifully!
I honestly know that pain. I'm very sorry. I had to put my sweet kitty down in Feb this year after having him for 20 years! After that awful and painful time, I found myself digging up old pictures of him to scrap but since then, it has been very hard to do! The lo is absolutely stunning! When we treat them like family, we mourn them as family!
I echo the sentiments of all of the comments. I truly don't know if I can add anything else. This lo is tender, sweet and show a depth of feeling all pet moms can identify with. Hugs to you.
Wow, sorry to hear about your loss. I am a first time dog owner and we are so close after one year so I can only imagine how difficult this was. The paw print is such a great momento.
Yeah my eyes are all welled up now too! We are facing this difficult time with our 12 year old Akita and it breaks my heart...animals leave such an imprint on our hearts with their unselfish love. Thank you for sharing and so sorry for your loss!
oh man this lo makes me want to cry...I have tears in my eyes right now...I know the feeling all to well!!! I love the lo!!! Everything about it is awesome...I'm sorry about your Duke!! XXX
My heart aches for you. I have had to let two of my own fur babies go and I still love and miss them dearly. Yet, I eventually find room in my heart to love again. There are so many who need our love and care.
This is so sad. The layout is so beautiful-I just dread the day that I have to let my Rottie go! I have gotten and paw impression just in case. So sorry for your lost! Great LO!
I can't stop crying! This layout is BEAUTIFUL!!! I have 4 dogs of my own and I can't imagine the day I need to go through what you went through!! Thank you for sharing!
I truly have tears streaming from my eyes as I read this. We had a wolf/malamute mix that we lost 10 years ago and he is still very much alive in our hearts and a topic at family functions. He was mine and hubbys first child so to speak...and we still love him dearly. It took us until Feb of last year to finally agree to getting a dog. Our children never really knew our Akeyla, and always wanted a dog, but it was too hard for us to think about getting so attached and losing one again. It truly is like losing a family member. My heart is aching for you. Even though it has been almost 2 years...I know that you still grieve. Sensational tribute to your dear Duke.
It's never easy when that time comes. Fortunately they remain forever in our hearts, always ready when we call them to mind. You have created a beautiful remembrance. My sincere sympathy.
Oh, I'm so sorry. My heart is breaking for you. I have been through the same thing, and it is like losing a family member. Beautiful LO though and I know you will treasure it forever.
You did Duke proud with this LO. The expression captured on your face in the pic is says exactly what you were thinking at that moment. Sometimes we have to make that visit to the vet for the sake of the animal - I understand. We were in that position several years back, and it's not an easy one to make.
There is no harder task than to make the decision to put a beloved 4 legged friend down!But when you look in their sweet eyes and can see their pain we know when it's time.I had to put down my cocker spaniel,Gilbert at the age of 16.That was in 1997.I just got another dog last year.I was that reluctant!I didn't want to betray his memory!Our dear babies are irreplaceable!God bless Duke!Your beautiful lo will help to keep his sweet memory alive!I love his big ol' paw print!My deepest sympathy!~Grace
Oh no...I can barely swallow right now...I'm so terribly sorry about Duke and that picture however sad simply tells the whole story and further more I can't see the typewriter keys properly because my eyes are swimming in tears....
I am going to have to lift this idea.
We lost our Bailey after a heart-wrenching battle with mast cell cancer. We knew we were losing her, so I took lots of photos at the end. I held on to her longer than I should have. Your layouts are perfect! So sorry for your loss.
I know how you feel and you are doing the right thing by scrappin the Pics. I am still going through some of my pics and scrappin our beloved animals also. Very nicely done. TFS
There are NO words to express the love of an animal and their love for you. Scraping is a wonderful way to tell your story. So touching, so personal, so full of expression. God Bless you & I know Duke is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge where you will be united forever. I have 4 dogs with one 13 right now, who is the love of my life. I rescued her and she thanks every single day. I love her so. Like I said there is nothing to explain that wonderful bond and that kind of love. Anyone who can abuse them...is sick. Best of luck to you. You created a lasting and beautiful memory.
Your LO brought tears to my eyes. I lost "Buster" our 10 year old lab Jan'08 and I still miss him. I have been keeping notes of all the neat things he would do and plan to scrapbook those memories.
My two dogs are my children. Your layout sent goosebumps through my body. This picture is priceless..look at his eyes. The LO is remarkable. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's nice to know you will have something beautiful to remember him by.
My tears automatically came down my cheek while looking at this LO. I have two dogs which are my babies and I don't know how I will react when their time comes. You're LO is beautiful and thank you for the paw print idea. I'm sorry for your loss.
I am sure that you did the right thing. I've had to do it several times and i know it is hard. This LO is awesome but a tear jerker too. I know you are glad now that you made this LO, took the pics and even the paw print.
I know your pain I lost a Rottie of my own...it's hard...on the outside they are strong, fierce and intimidating and on the inside they are soft, tender, compassionate fur babies. The picture here speaks so many things and just looking at it made me cry. My Rottie Cassie has been gone now for 6 years and I still miss her every day. I have two more Rotties now and still see myself missing Cassie. So I know your pain, but day by day the pain is filled with all the wonderful memories of the time you had together with Duke...he'll always be with you and that's what keep his memory alive. I'm sorry for your loss.
This honestly brought tears to my eyes. I'm just looking at it and crying...I should probably go to the next page but I'm stuck on this one. I love the paw print and the whole thing. I couldn't imaging losing my Hemi; I'd break down. I'm truely sorry for your loss.
I had to come back and add this layout to my favs because I'll have to scraplift it soon. My dear Tyson died unexpectedly 2 days ago and I keep staring at his beautiful photo on my desk at work. Scrapbooking sure is the best therapy and once I'll get a quiet moment in this holiday buzz, I plan on scrapping his latest photos.
Beautiful and heartbreaking layout! My pup is my life. This layout seriously brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry for your loss. Beautiful job of documenting!
I am so sorry for your loss and your heartache. But you did a beautiful job in honoring Duke. It's obvious how special he was in your lives. Beautiful lo.
ohhh, this lo is so sad :( this lo is just beautiful, and a memory you will cherish forever. I had to put my cat down after having him for 18 years, I know how this feels.
Hi, I am sorry about Duke as well. When I had to put my dog to sleep, it's the most difficult decision ever. I hope you are feel better now.
By the way, this is a great lo. The colors work really work together!
Wow, this is truly touching. It evokes all the emotions I had when my first dog finally had to be put to sleep. Absolutely beautiful, love the colors, and the circle stuff is very cool.
This is so beautiful. It really is like art and don't they say artists pour out their souls into their work. It truly shows. The picture is emotionally stirring. The clock in "go" is perfect. The paw print is so sweet.
Wonderfully done, Krissy.
Sorry, I am an emotional scrapper. If something is happening in my life that causes LOTS of emotion, that tends to be how I scrap for a while. So here is another layout of my dear Duke. The photo was taken by Karin (Mosbarger) right before I had to take him to the vet. You were right Karin, these pics would be cherished after the fact. Thank you. This is I guess, the 2nd page to my original layout 'Holding On' http://www.scrapbook.com/galleries/121575/view/802839/-1/0/2.html After we lost Duke, I decided to do a second page that is the same basic style, with some definite differences.
Thank you so much for stopping in and taking a peek.
