Annabelle went to Rainbow Bridge this morning. Surgery and chemo would have only bought weeks or a couple of months. I couldn't be so selfish as to put her through that. My heart is so broken right now. Held her and loved her to the end. Even hubby shed tears. She was such a special girl. Can one die of a broken heart?
Im so sorry for your loss Mary, weve had dogs in our house all my life, and it always hurts when you have to say goodbye.
lots of love

Mary - I agree with you on the Nov 6th comment... we will come back though and stronger - it was a very depressing time for me as I am so scared as to what is to come. I will definitely be praying for you - Annabelle is out of pain now - she will be making a room for you in her mansion... - I lost my MLS to cancer last year and we truly miss her.
I had a very nice Thanksgiving this year - our first with Mom here - and my best friends who are truly like family to me spent the day with us... too much food as usual - I have to make it all... I don't want to forget one thing... but it was a fun easy day and now I get to eat leftovers and be lazy for the next few days... I had hoped some elves would arrive and clean up the kitchen over night but they forgot my address so I did them up this morning - then got my snowmen out and started decorating the house with them - had to play with each one too and the memories of the years that I got them came back and it was a very nice day... am sitting in my lazy boy now with my electric blanket on - getting my toesies warm - gave the cats a treat with some cat nip treats - so their pupils are large and they are playing or sleeping...teehee... and I ate some of my home made rolls - easiest home made bread one can make without having someone else do it or a bread machine... and it is yummy... I love it and the smell making bread sends through the home.
I did my black friday shopping at Whims - ordered a new snowman quilt wall hanging - just what I need...it and the latest snowman from Hallmark will be my 2012 additions to my collection - did you see the new one Hallmark has - skiing down a snowdrift... so cute... they all bring smiles to my face... I have to put up the Jim Shore decorations for the Thanksgiving holiday - they head back up on the very top of the TV stand till next year when they come down - the angels are coming down to watch over us and the cat and snowmen...
I want so much to buy another Christmas tree but am going to wait till we move to MN and then I'll have fun with the Hallmark ornaments - for now those are all put away... we found out that we can't put the decorations up in the attic anymore - one of my Christmas trees melted... oh my I wondered why all my snowmen were stuck - luckily it just distorted and didn't cause any real trouble... but the tree is no more...teehee.... live and learn...
Anyway, you are on my prayer list and I am thinking about that Smoky Mountain Retreat next year... I might just need to get away in June...teehee...
