Selling some of Maddie's Clothes...
 

I've thought, and thought and thought about this... and I just can't bear Macy wearing Maddie's clothes. I will feel as thought I'll constantly be compairing Macy and how Maddie looked in them. Some may not agree, but I feel this is what I want to do. I will use the money to get Macy some new clothes. I'll be saving my favorites and putting up to keep in a special box. I feel as thought Macy is already helping me out. I think about those puppies everyday and they hold such a place in my heart. Maddie will always be with me and her memories will NEVER be forgotten, but I have to heal and find a spot in my heart for Macy. I don't want to compair her to Maddie. I want her to be her own little person. I don't want her to live in Maddie's shadow. I love Maddie with my whole heart and the days without her had been unbearable at times. I'm so ready to hear puppy barks and have puppy kisses again. I'm going back to meet the puppies again next Sunday and will make my pick. I think I already know which one it will be but don't want to say anything til I'm there again. Thanks for understanding...:)

I'll be posting all the pics and prices tomorrow so check back...just wanted to give everyone a chance that would like them.

It will be between 7 and 8 on Friday.

Denise, I have you in my thoughts and prayers. I definately want one of Maddie's dresses to have a place of honor with the rest of the dresses that i have bought. I admit, I have a dog dress addiction. Unfortunately my girls do not like to wear clothes so I have a "drawer of honor" that I put all of the wonderfully handcrafted items that I buy and I look at them. One of these days I am going to have a little girl who loves frufru and I'll be ready.

I am sure that Maddie is smiling down on you -- no matter what decision you might make.

I can sympathise with you on this one...I have put all heidi's things away and i will NOT be using any of them on my new baby girl. They are heidi's things..my new baby is getting all her own new stuff. It is good to keep a few very special things..we need to have our memories. x

I'm looking forward to buy something. Penny will be very proud to wear it.

I understand for sure!!

I won't type a whole book here as I sent you a loooong PM earlier - but once you read it, you will know how I feel girl :)

And thank you so much for PM'ing me girl...you are just so sweet, and we love ya! :hug:

Great idea Denise ...
you need to save a special place for Maddie
and create a whole new one for Macy ...
You are doing the right thing ...
with love,
Monday and Friday!

Oh Denise I completly understand you.. I too lost my Maddy last Aug 11 I am dreading next sunday so badly because it will be here 1 yr anniversary of her death. I too put all of her favorite toys and clothes in a special box along with some pictures, her birth pictures and her AKC info.. it is so sad to think that she is no longer here I think of her daily and miss her like the first day she left. I know she is in a better place but I cannot help and be selfish and want her here with me. I would give anything to have her in my arms again. I am so glad you found Macy and hope she can help you heal...

:love-hug3 Ohh, Denise! I know this is hard on you, poor thing. BUT I think Macy deserves her own clothes and Maddies deserves her clothes to be only her clothes so I think you're doing the right thing!!! Good luck with your sale! :) I hope you're able to sell enough to get a fabulous wardrobe for little miss Macy!

Denise...I understand where you are coming from. Lilly didn't have much but what was hers is always going to be hers. I'm going to keep what she had.. I haven't put it away..I still see her clothes everyday but I just can't touch them just yet because I know once I do put it away its going to break me heart to pieces..I guess I leave them there because I'm still afraid to face reality..she's not coming back. I had the courage to put her tag with her name, harness & leash away because that was hanging in my kitchen and I couldn't bare seeing it. You are doing the right thing hun.

Can't wait to see who you are going to pick!!! How can you do it?!?!? they are both adorable!

Hi Denise! As I told you on the phone, I support your decision to sell Maddie's clothes. Only you know what feels right and if it doesn't seem right to you to keep them, then just get a fresh start. I think if I was in your shoes, I'd sell them too. It would be different if Maddie was still here...then it would be fun to put big sister's clothes on Macy.

I know you'll do great with your sale...Maddie had such cute things! Big hugs, Denise! I'm glad you have Macy to look forward to. I can't wait till you get her!

I don't know what I would do if something happened to Lacy - she has so many clothes and I honestly don't know how I would feel about what to do with them..if I wanted my next baby to wear them, keep them, or sell them or what... I was just telling my Granddaddy over lunch yesterday that everyone handles grief differently, and what helps one person get through their time of grief may not be what helps another. I don't want you to feel bad about it at all because you are doing what is best for you. I know it's going to be hard to part with Maddie's clothes since they are a part of her and hold a lot of memories. I joined right around the time Maddie went missing and I still think of her often. She was such a beautiful little girl. I'm really looking forward to reading about Macy as she grows and seeing pictures of her.

I'm so sorry. I know it's very hard for you. I tried to imagine myself in your shoes and I picked up an item of London's clothes cause it's right next to me and imagined her not being here and it made me terribly sad. It would just remind me so much of her, so I can understand why you wouldn't want Macy yo wear Maddie's clothes. I think getting her her own clothing is a good idea, but do keep your favorite items that were Maddie's for memory.

I agree with this post and Denise....it's going to be really hard but you need to do what your heart tells you to do - I'll say this - I WISH my girls were small enough to pay tribute to Maddie but they aren't - so I'll say good luck and just wanted to tell you Maddie is in our hearts - I look at her Card w/her picture that I made for you all the time ...she was such a beautiful little yorkie.....I'm really glad you have Macy coming to help you heal
