Thank you, and Wuv the yorkie in your avatar!

I cannot say how sorry I am that you have lost your precious Minnie. I too know your pain and feel your sadness, sorrow and suffering. I lost my precious October on April 14th in a tragic way.

Our precious babies will never experience pain and hurt again - and for that I am thankful - but we sure experience the hurt and pain that comes from being left behind when they leave us. I am so sorry, I know exactly how you feel.

Our October was a rescue as well - she was 6 when we adopted her. We had her for a far too short 3.5 years - but those years were filled with the most amazing love. I can't explain how much I miss her.

I am so sorry and words cannot express my sadness for your loss.

First one is a nice portrait, second is of her taking a nap in her favorite sleeping area, and third is of her relaxing on the couch. She was a lot more energetic than the last two photos would indicate though. Funny you can see our carpet is brown in the second pic; if I gave her a full milkbone snack she'd try to bury it in the carpet (and give her nose a wicked carpet burn) since it looked like dirt.

Most of my photos of her are on film though; will have to scan those in sometime soon since I really need to be able to look at her and remember her in pictures, as I can no longer go grab her for kisses.

What a beautiful angel girl.

Thank you for your well wishes. Minnie means so much to me and it still hurts deeply. I know it has barely been a week and a half but it feels like a year since I last got to hold her and feel her heart beat. I have so many amazing memories with her but they feel so far gone now.

I'm sorry about October; is that October in your avatar pic? Definitely a cutie!

I completely understand. I feel the same way about my October - it feels like its been a lifetime since I got to feel her fuzzy body and kiss her little black wet nose. I'd give anything to do it just one more time. So I understand what you mean about those memories feeling so far away. I get scared sometimes I will forget what she felt like. Its just so hard, so I truly understand how you feel.

Yes, that is October in my avatar. We kept her hair cut short. I miss her so much. Thank you for complimenting her, I thought she was the cutest thing ever. Of course, I think every little one is adorable.

It feels like a lifetime ago we lost her, yet it feels just like yesterday at the same time. Time is a strange thing. Its been a month and a half, but it still hurts so much. I will pray you can find comfort during this most difficult time.

I just had to share my favorite Minnie picture with my friend who loves dogs. She loved the picture of Minnie asking for a snack too. I like the one of her barking at the neighbors dog. She isn't afraid of anyone.

Haha, there was a lot of bite behind that bark. I saw her catch a bird one time and right when she caught it she snapped its neck in an instant. Another time I saw her dig her claws into the back of a cat her size and pull it down off the fence it was trying to climb to flee. Luckily I was able to run and get in between them to keep her from killing the cat; they both fell to the ground when she did that, so I had enough time. Minnie was crazy fast and athletic.

And in that photo where she's asking for a snack you can see the box of dog treats in the back left. When she wanted a snack she'd look at you, then look at the box of snacks. Then look at you, then look at the box of snacks. Look at you, look at the box of snacks. Then whimper, look at you, look at the box of snacks. Same thing a few times and then came the bark until you either gave her one or told her 'no snack', haha.

One of her favorite snacks was when we'd just take her bowl of dog food and throw the kibbles one at a time for her to catch in her mouth. She was really good at catching them too.

Yeah, she liked to jump almost as much as I did when I was her age (guessing somewhere between 10-14 years old).

I am so sorry for your loss of precious Minnie.

It is heartwarming to hear how much love you shared with her though, and her pawprints on your heart and wonderful memories of her will be with you forever.

Thank you MauiGirl; indeed she will be on my mind as long as it's working! I especially love the shots of Meika from puppy to adult in your albums.

Thank you for the picture comments. I loved Meika's long full coat, but now have her short because I got tired of brushing her 2 times a day, plus it is much cooler.

One of the funniest things I remember about Minnie: our living room we have a couch on one side next to the front door, then a reclining chair on the back wall and then a love seat next to that. Any time one of us would come home, Minne would jump on top of the back edge of the couch, run full speed over to the edge and then jump on the top of the reclining chair, then from there jump on the love seat, run to the edge, turn around, and repeat everything backwards to finish the lap. Then she'd run down to the floor and start jumping straight up over and over again, and of course we'd pick her up for kisses. God, I miss that so much.

It is so hard to think about all the funny things and sweet memories we have shared with our babies that have passed.

Sometimes those memories make us smile and sometimes they make us cry.

How wonderful that you have such fond memories of your precious baby girl. I bet she's running around like crazy now without a fear or worry in the world.
