I'M SO SORRY THAT I WAS GONE FOR THE LAST
FEW MONTHS, AND AFTER VIEWING MY E-MAIL,
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T TELL YOU WHY. YOU SEE
MY DOG, RUFFLES, WHO WE HAD FOR 12 YRS. WAS
SUFFERING FROM EPILEPSY, AND WAS HAVING SEIZURES
AT LEAST THREE TIMES A DAY. MY YOUNGEST CHILDREN
WERE SO HEART BROKEN, I HAD TO SPEND ALMOST EVERY
SECOND OF THE DAY WITH THEM, WE TRIED EVERY MED
THAT THE DOC WOULD PRESCRIBE, INCLUDING PHENOBARBITAL
AND POTASSIUM BROMIDE, EVEN TOGETHER. AND A FEW
OTHERS THAT JUST DIDN'T WORK. WE HAD TO PUT HER TO REST
AND THEN OF COURSE IT WAS LIKE LOOSING A SIBLING TO
MY CHILDREN, JESSE 12 AND CASEY WHO'S 9.
WE NOW HAVE A NEW PUPPY NAMED COCO...WE GAVE A MONTH
GRIEVING PERIOD, AND THEY ARE DOING MUCH BETTER, BUT
STILL SOMETIMES CALLS HER RUFFLES BY ACCIDENT.
THEY HAD TO LEARN THAT LIFE GOES ON IN THEIR OWN WAY,
BUT I WASN'T GONNA LET THEM CRY ALONE,(ME EITHER)
WISH YOU GUYS COULD SEE COCO THO CUZ' SHE STOLE ALL OUR
HEARTS. YOU GUYS SHOW SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT, AND
REMEMBER...EVEN A COMA COULDN'T MAKE ME FORGET YOU!!!
EXTRA HUGS AND SMILES FOR ALL OF YOU!!!

I'm sorry to hear aboout
your dog. You are a great
mom to take such good
care of your kids like that.

Glad you are back !!

Sorry about your dog

I am glad your children are coping with it relatively well

I know what it's like to lose a pet, the dog I grew up with (literally, he was 4 months younger than I was) died when we were 10

My whole family was heartbroken for a long long time...

Thanks for the extra hugs

I could sure use 'em...
Heres a gigantic one for you

CARROLIN · 03-05-2002, 06:08 AM

CAN YOU BELIEVE???

RUFFLES WAS A 90# ROTTWEILER, AND I WENT
AHEAD AND PURCHASED A MINITURE DACHSHUND!!!
HAD TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS DIDN'T TRY TO
REPLACE THEIR FEELINGS... ALTHOUGH I NEVER
THOUGHT I'D GET A "WEINER DOG"!!!
THAT'S OKAY THO CUZ' SHE THINKS SHE'S 90#!!!

SMILES.

mamabear_93930 · 03-05-2002, 06:32 AM

I always wanted a "Weiner Dog

but did I get one NO I had to get
a Pit Bull

LOL
I love her tho she's my bestfriend

CARROLIN · 03-05-2002, 06:42 AM

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN...

SOME PITS ARE MEAN, BUT MOST ARE JUST AS
LOVING AS A CHILD, IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU
RAISE IT, JUST LIKE CHILDREN...LOVE!!!

MY BROTHER HAS ONE AND IT CAN JUMP SO HIGH
THAT YOU WOULD SWEAR THAT IT HAS A SPRING IN IT'S BUTT!!!

AND SO FATHFULL TOO!

SMILES AND LOVE SENT YOUR WAY!!!

So glad to have you back. I am sorry about your Ruffles

We lost our dog Snuggles two years ago and it hurts to this day. We got another dog a few monthes later, his name is Boo. He is such a love. I can't imagine not having a dog in our life. It just hurts so very much when they leave us. All we can do is assure them a good life while they are here.
