Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All

 

Another year has come and gone.  Once again I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season.  

With Love...

Update On Shelby

Hello To All

Back in June our wonderful friend, Ann, from Zoolatry posted a request for prayers for our girl, Shelby.  

A tumor was discovered on Shelby's lung and it was growing fast.  It was first discovered about a year ago and our vet was keeping a close eye on it.  It was finally at a point where it would soon interfere with her ability to breathe.  Her time with us was being cut short.

Because of Shelby's age (13) and the fact that she had a serious heart murmur, surgery would be very risky.  But at this point, we had to take a chance or lose her in a matter of weeks.

Our wonderful vet had a colleague in Ft. Myers who had performed surgeries similar to this, so he was called in to consult.

Surgery was scheduled for June 3.  It was a long surgery.  He had to go in through Shelby's rib cage to reach the tumor, which was located very close to her heart.

I'm happy to report that the surgery was successful and Shelby has now fully recovered.

Last week she went in for her final post-op exam.  An x-ray was taken and the tumor is gone.  We also received the pathology report.  It was a malignant tumor but it was removed with clear margins and no evidence of cancer cells in the blood vessels, which means it did not spread to any other parts of her body.

THEN

 

(The second scar further back is where a drainage tube was inserted for the first 24 hours following surgery)

NOW

I would like to take a moment to personally thank all of you who sent POTP, Purrs, and Prayers for Shelby.  The love and support of so many friends out there is what kept me going through a time filled with so much worry and fear of a bad outcome.

Blogville is always there.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All

 

Another year has passed and even though Amber and Max, better known as

DaWeenies of Florida,

are celebrating Christmas at Rainbow Bridge, we still remember all our Blogville friends.

We want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas, a wonderful holiday season, and a new year filled with good health, happiness, and peace.

Love from Linda and our current pack members,

Shelby, Pepper, Bella, Lexi, and Bear

Another Year Has Gone By

 I know so many of you probably won't remember us.  It's been nearly four years since our sweet Amber left us.  And her "brudder" and co-conspirator, Max, joined his "sisfur" at the Bridge two years ago in January.  Our family still has a huge empty spot where DaWeenies used to roam.

We still check in our all our "furends" daily (or as often as our stupid Internet connection allows).  We miss you all and so many times wish we could go back twelve years to our early blogging days.

For now I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season along with nothing but good things in the New Year.

Rainbow Remembrance Day 2021

Today is a very special day set aside to remember our fur babies no longer in our homes but always in our hearts.

Since last year's Remembrance Day, our home has lost two of our babies.

 

We Also Remember Jennie and Blogville's own

Amber DaWeenie

who left earlier last year.

I will never forget any of the special dogs who have shared my life over the years.  This is how I imagine each and every one of them waiting at the Bridge.

A special thank you to Deb Barnes of Zee and Zoey Cat Chronicles for sponsoring this event.

A Special Day of Remembering Our Babies at the Bridge

Today is a very special day created to remember all our furbabies who have gone before us to the Rainbow Bridge.

Our family lost two very special angels this year.  I would like to pay tribute to both of them here today.

Angel Jennie

9/16/04 - 4/7/20

Angel Amber

1/27/04 - 1/12/20

Amber and Jennie will never be forgotten and our home just isn't the same without them.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

I will also never forget all the special pups who spent their lives with me.  I know they are all waiting at the Bridge.  Amber and Jennie were added to this photo this year.  This covers nearly 72 years of the dogs who have shared their lives with me.  All are remembered with love.

  

A special thank you to Deb Barnes of Zee and Zoey Cat Chronicles for sponsoring this event.

We also remember all our Blogville furiends who began their journey to the Bridge this year.

Hugs to all our furiends in Blogville.

My Gift of Love to Mom From the Bridge

A special HI to all my Furiends directly from Rainbow Bridge...

Just wanted every BUDDY to know that I actually earned my Angel Wings and Halo.  My sister, Jennie, is here with me too but she's still working on earning hers.  She is more interested in chasing the butterflies and the squirrels than working on good deeds.

I know my Mom wants to thank everyone for the love and support when Jennie came to join me at the Bridge earlier this month.

Anyway....I was busy working on finding a needy pup to send to my Mom to make her happy again.  I interviewed so many needy pups.  I had to make a quick decision so that I could visit Jennie before she came to the Bridge and have her point Mom in the right direction.

I finally chose the right pup and had her picture appear on the same rescue site where my sister, Lexi, came from.  That way Mom would be sure to notice her.  Sure enough, the very same rescue picked up my choice, and boy, was she needy.

You see, my choice had spent her entire life living in a puppy mill popping out puppies for the mill.  She was estimated to be about 4-5 years old so that's a lot of puppies she produced.  WOW!!

This is the picture of her that I made sure the rescue took so Mom could see it.

She didn't even have a name.....only a number.

Mom saw her picture and immediately contacted the rescue who had her in foster care.  Since Mom and Dad adopted Lexi from that rescue, Mom didn't have to fill out an application.  She talked to the lady at the rescue and was told there were already ten applications submitted that morning but that if Mom wanted her, she would get first choice.  (I made that arrangement with the rescue lady when I visited her in her dreams the night before).

Mom and Dad named her BELLA.  This is Bella on the ride home from the rescue.

Here are some more pictures after Bella arrived in her new, forever home.

 Here is Bella meeting Lexi for the first time.

After Bella settled in and felt more at home, a trip to the groomer was next on her schedule to get rid of all the mats left from her life in the puppy mill.

AFTER

OMD...where did you go?  Now you only weigh 5 pounds!!!!!

Bella really likes Pepper

And Shelby

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Now that we have Bella all settled in with Mom and Dad, Jennie and I can get back to business here at the Bridge.  Jennie really needs to do a lot of work in order to get her halo and wings.

So my furiends, this is my life here at the Bridge.  I'm trying to keep a close eye on my brother, Max, and on Mom, Dad, and my siblings.  A girl's work is just never done!   BOL

And thank you again for giving my Mom and Dad all the support after Jennie and I left.  I know they will be ok now.

Visit you all again soon...

WOOF

From Amber

A Bittersweet Birthday and a Very Special Thank You

Today DaWeenies celebrate a very special

16th Birthday.  

I'm sure Amber was in full party mode at the Bridge while Max is still grieving for his sister, as we all are.  She will always be alive in our hearts.

Hey Sis... why are you hiding in that little box?

 Please Come Out...

Today is our 16th birthday and it's time for CAKE..  Your all-time favorite! 

I don't want to do this alone.. :(

 Only one piece of cake...

but 2 candles.

Gotta do what I gotta do.. 

For you, my precious sister.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

A special note of thanks to all of our Blogville friends.  

There are just no words to say thank you enough for the many beautiful heartfelt comments and show of support for our loss of our precious girl.  Even though we've been missing in action for such a long time due to my job taking up so much time, you have all still been there to help get us through this.

Healing takes time and the tears still flow so often and freely at our house for Amber, and also for our little Jennie who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Her time is very limited and we make the most of every day we have left with her.

I want to thank Ann from Zoolatry for the beautiful header for this blog and also for Amber's memorial picture.

Ann is also helping me with this month's edition of 'Our Rainbow Friends'.

Also a special thank you to Ingrid (along with Dalton,  Benji, and Pipo) for this beautiful memorial picture.

Finally I would like to thank
Foley, Pocket, and River Song
for their beautiful vision of Amber's arrival at the Bridge.  Grab the tissue box...

Blogville is the BEST!!!

Love you all..

Forever In Our Hearts
