Heidi

It has been three years today, since our dear old Giant Schnauzer Heidi passed away.
I still miss her so much, the walks every day, the unconditional love and how happy the gentle giant would be when we came home, after having been out.
She really did bring so much joy to our family over the years and how much our kids and we gained by growing up/older, with our beloved Heidi.
Losing a pet is such a hard thing to deal with.


Dorota of
jewellerybijou.com gave me the One lovely blog Award, many thanks for this.

Now I would like to pass the Award on to the following blogs that I enjoy visiting.
I know some of you are Award free, but just to say thank you for all you share.

  8. Oh dearest friend!

    Ohhhh, I cannot bear the loss of a pet. They are so innocent, so KIND, so humorous beyond they could EVER KNOW....the joy they give us is like a fairytale...they love you no matter what and they are always ready for play. WHAT A PRETTY GIRL SHE WAS! AND I love that picture of you with her!!! I have never seen a giant Schnauzer!!! Pretty, pretty....

    Sweet friend, THANK YOU for coming to wish me well! THE CHIROPRACTOR did a miracle on me! He cracked my back...WOW. Then he prescribed some exercises that I have been doing faithfully and will continue to do to reshape the distorted form of one of the encasements of my disk....he showed me how they are flexible and one of mine is bulging but not in a way that cannot be RESHAPED with exercise. I ALREADY FEEL 100% BETTER! Cold packs and two more visits with him for electric treatment and maybe another JOLT will help him see how I am doing. But NO MORE PAIN!!!

    Thank you for asking! Have a splendid day...do you have another dog? It would be hard to REPLACE a friend....Anita

  18. Hi Carolyn,
    That is so awesome that you have your mom's typewriter!! We have looked all over for one
    and we were so happy to find it. I called up north from here in New Orleans and I'm so lucky that the fellow that had it saved it for me!!

  21. I must agree with you - losing a pet is very difficult (I have two cats myself, and they're both young, but one got very very sick a few months ago). New studies show that it is as difficult as losing a human, I've heard.
    And its so wonderful that you are memorializing your Heidi by remembering the good times :)

  22. Good morning precious friend!

    THANK YOU for stopping by; yes, my back is SO MUCH better and those exercises the doctor gave me really are great. I hope he will say that I can keep them in my routine AND I see him again today. I wonder if he will see it necessary to CRACK my back again? I wasn't expecting it before but now that I know it might be coming, I think I will be a bit tense!!!!

    HAVE A LOVELY DAY! Anita

  23. Oh you precious soul you!!! THANK YOU! Now off to bed my dearest; I am off to get ready to go see the doctor again but YES! I FEEL 100% BETTER!!!!!! MERCI MILLE FOIS for your well wishes!! I will keep you posted! Anita

  24. So sorry about Heidi. I can only imagine how much you miss her. I only had smaller pets as a child (none of them mammals) and I always feared getting a dog would mean a lot of heartbreak when I eventually ended up outliving him/her.

  25. Hi Carolyn, Heidi was beautiful! I know exactly how you feel. My first dog was Toni who we got when I was 2. We had to put her to sleep when I was 17. I have her picture framed in my bedroom and til this day, I still think about her. She was such a big part of my life. Have a fabulous Friday! Best wishes, Tammy
