Lena, Teacup Poodle w/ adrenal tumor - Lena is now an angel

[Joan2517]

Happy birthday, my Precious. I was going through a ton of pictures today and found some of me making my Xmas shortbreads with you in your puppy front carrier watching me. I always told everyone that you could cook because you were attached to me while I did everything, because you were my everything, Lee. So many pictures that I haven't seen in years...and so many memories of our life together. Someday I will put them in albums.

Raina was spayed and had a hernia repaired yesterday, so I did relaxing things that I've been putting off so that I could keep an eye on her. She has been sleeping a lot, but finally ate today. Once she starts feeling better I may have to put the onesie on her to keep her from getting to her stitches. You were so good when you were spayed and never bothered your stitches. I used to say where's your boo boo and you'd roll over and show me. You were always an angel.

I could swear I felt another presence all day, I don't know which one of you it was, but it was definitely one of you. There were so many pictures of you with Andee when you were a baby, you and the cats who all accepted you. You were everyone's sweetheart.

I miss you, and all the rest every day, my darling girl.

Mommy loves you now and forever....

Dear Joan,

I read your sweet note soon after you posted it and have been thinking about you ever since. I’m tardy in adding a reply because I kept hoping to find some special words to honor your dearest Angel Lena and your lives together. But I don’t want to wait any longer. So I’ll simply tell you what a privilege it’s been through our time together here to read of your love and your most special of bonds. It warms my heart to this very minute.

Happy Birthday, indeed, sweet girl. And many many many hugs to your mom who will love you forever.

I feel the same about you, dear Marianne...this forum has been a huge comfort to me since the first time I posted. I don't know how I could've gotten through all the losses without you and all my friends here.

Your words and friendship have always been special to me.

Love you...
Joan
