She’s home

Originally posted 2019-03-01 21:02:41. James wanted to put her in something more personal so we opted for the temporary urn. They had all of the paperwork her urn and a clay paw print in a gift bag. My husband rode home with it in his passenger seat. I think he was talking to her because he was behind my me at a stop light and I could see him in my rear view ❤. Idratherbewithmydog.net…

She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…

The Big C

Originally posted 2018-06-06 11:13:07.   As I sit here looking of inspiration for each keystroke I hold back tears. The normal daily routine of getting my son up to take his medications doesn’t stop for anything. Hearing the words in my head over and over… CANCER… My mother has beaten colorectal cancer just a few years ago. Her body still trying to recover from the chemo and radiation. Then having to have her arteries bypassed…

With Love, Charlie

Originally posted 2019-02-25 08:58:22. We unfortunately have to put her to sleep. The cancer – tumor is just ravaging her poor little body. We had planned on taking her to nc state oncology for her appointment but she can’t do anything for herself anymore. We tried to get her up but she just stands there leaning against you. No wagging her tail no nothing. She will definitely be missed. She was the alpha in this…

Inoperable mass

Originally posted 2019-02-19 18:02:03. As we were headed back to the NC State Veterinary School to pick up Charlie we get a phone call. “Inoperable mass on her brain stem” She is staying there tonight as she was still recovering from the anesthesia. After my medical procedure, Dusty’s psychiatrist appointment and Chewy’s follow-up appointment tomorrow we will head back up there to discuss any available options. He doesn’t want her to suffer but he just…

The yearning

Originally posted 2023-06-21 06:27:16. It’s been 5 years momma since I watched you take your last breathe. Not a day goes by that you don’t cross my mind. I make sure to touch your urn every single day of my life. Watching you leave the earth so unjustly, with the pain of a thousand knives you left without me.So many things left unsaid, not done, that I struggle with. So many memories have dimmed in…

My Soul

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…

That was close

Originally posted 2014-10-23 15:51:42. This morning my husband went to get his motorcycle riding gloves to prepare to leave for work. I hear him ask me to come here. I get up and see what he needs. He asks me, “Is that a black widow spider?” I state first off that I thought it was. Then I proceed to get my phone to take a picture and ask a few people if what they thought…

Mother’s Day

Originally posted 2018-05-15 13:47:50. Forgot to share. Not sure when my husband managed to get Dusty to pick one out… but then again he probably just picked one out from Dusty’s point of view. Hope all my mother’s had a good one! Only thing we’d change on this card would be sports, just replacing it with food. Better yet, all 3 would likley be food.
