I'm so sad About This Page:

[Disney Fan]

First of all, as far as I know the baby is fine. This has nothing to do with my pregnancy. Thank God!!!

This has to do with those members of the family we take for granted. She was our first dog we got as a married couple, her name was Gabby. She was a border collie/dalmation mix. She was hyper as anything, but, with loyalty and a heart of gold.

We got her as a puppy, six weeks old from the pound. We had been in our first house less than a month, and we couldn't wait to a dog. It was love at first sight, when we saw her. She was so tiny and she just cracked us up. We didn't know how appropriate her name would be until she got older! She had the body of a dalmation, but, was black all over with a white chest that had black spots. She slept with us almost every night until we figured out I was allergic to her. Then she had to learn to make her way onto the floor (which she was not happy about).

We got her a play-mate, Darby when she was almost two. She had more energy than we could keep up with. The two of them kept each other entertained.

When we had Peyton, of course our priorities and attention changed. Gabby had always been leary of kids. She was never harmful to Peyton, but, we also never gave her much of a chance. She was separated from us much of the time as Peyton became more mobile. We knew she had to find a new home.

In June a college guy, who works with Chris, and has stayed with the "girls" when we'd leave for the weekend, said he would love to have her out at his Grandma's farm until he got a place of his own. Yesterday he came into work and told Chris that Gabby got out during a horrible storm on Friday and he hadn't been able to find her. I checked outside about a hundred times last night hoping she'd find her way home. I called the appropriate people today to find out if she'd been turned in or reported deceased. I was optimistic when she hadn't been.

Then I asked Chris today if Ryan had said anything about finding her. Chris didn't respond, and I knew. They found her about a mile from the farm. She had been hit.

I'm so sad, and the tears won't stop. We still have pictures of her up in our basement and I just look at her and I lose it.

I know her going to live at the farm was the right thing. I just have this horrible image in my head of her being hit or lying on the side of the road and I feel horrible.

Please send pixie dust our way at the loss of a dear friend.

I am so sorry.
It's been about a month now that we had to put our dog Meg down due to cancer.
Try to think about the good times and not the bad.
It will get easier as time goes by.
Sending you prayers and pixie dust.

That is tough, and I'm so sorry to hear the news - peace and blessings to you, Mis.

It's tough when we lose one of our fury kids. Having gone through it twice in the last few years I know how you feel. Keep focused on the good times. I know it's hard now but it will get easier. Perhaps when your family is ready another fury kid will melt your heard. Until then I'm sending you healing pixie dust.
