Our hearts break every time we lose one of the little guys.

Perhaps it's time I got one. <br />Now who would throw a statue out for missing a hand? Think "Venus de Milo"! :)<br />Bless you!Sandra L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12996512145634439543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238726145784174562.post-80599681239186927302011-01-06T03:10:10.823-05:002011-01-06T03:10:10.823-05:00Chel, that's not silly at all!

I lost a lot of people in 2010, including the first friend I ever had that died (she had an auto accident last January), and two pets. I hope 2011 brings fewer losses. <br />Thank you for your sweet words.

I never know what to say through tear...-^*^- sandra<br />I never know what to say through tears.<br /><br />I'd make it hurt less if I could.<br /><br />I understand. About "family" with four legs, two legs, feathers or fur. It's all the same. When they must leave, it hurts. A lot.<br /><br />When it hurts it means we were guardians. Of an angel perhaps?<br /><br /> <i>It has been said that angels, while on earth, aren't allowed to show their wings, but nothing was ever said about not showing their whiskers.</i><br /><br />Guarding over my sweet animals (having past) I have a beautiful yet simple St. Francis statue in the garden (He's missing a hand so was tossed away in someone's trash --don't you think that's perfect symbolism?) I placed him there to be near them, just because it gave <i>ME</i> comfort for some reason. I truly "get" what it means to miss the little ones...<br /><br />You and your husband are among the special of the earth.<br />Luck us ... that know you.

You know how I feel about my pets... <br /><br />I always think about my family in heaven (both human and otherwise) and I imagine any time one of my pets pass over, my human family (who I imagine live in a little cottage up there) get a knock on the door, and there, on the doorstep is my beloved fur-baby. My grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and cousins take great care of all my little babies until I can get there to pick them up and bring them to *my* little "over the rainbow" cottage. I know it sounds silly, but it helps me to imagine them waiting for me, happy and warm and safe with some of my family who have left this earth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204422715168104427noreply@blogger.com
