smoke king

thanks for the welcome. me bieng a bit late. i'm still getting used to the forum.

I don't think it was a mistake at all sk... sorry that I did not have better advice for you, but I really don't know one way or the other except to ask God and then go from there. I would love to see the tat too.... tatoo???? HA!

Thank you for sharing about Bailey, and thank you for the karma. :)

SK, thanks for the karma, really though, you did so well with Bailey's last days. You're a champ in my eyes and I know in others mostly though Baileys

No worries... take your time. It will get better and when you get the new puppies... I'm gonna send you a pic of my little Buster. I got Buster for my 20th bday. My parents dogs had a litter of pups and I got my choice. Buster as a puppy would try and drink water from the parents food bowl. As he tried to do this, he would teeter on his front legs leaning over so carefully. His little but would come up in the air and he went face first into the water. That is when I knew that was gonna be my dog. I had Buster for 14 years. He got cancer in his lungs and I knew he was in pain and did what I never wanted to ever have to think about. My avatar, Binks is the black and tan, he will be 5 this year. The red dog is Boots. He is around 15 or so years old. Getting old enough that I worry that I will be going through all this again. Boots is doing good tho for such an old man!!!

I'm glad to be here for you!!!

I absolutely will send you pictures Sattie-I also have lots of pictures of Bailey-I am having a hard time with them right now, but I will forward some of those as well. I can't tell you how good it makes me feel to know that someone understands how I feel!!

That is AWESOME smoke king! Wow, being able to find members of Bailey's family is such a blessing!!!! I'm soooo happy for you! I can only hope that you will see some of Bailey in your new companions. Binks has no relation to Buster... but yet Buster use to rub the very top of his head on the carpet, twisting back and forth. It was funny to watch him do that and I have never seen another dog do that. Then I got Binks and saw him do it one day. I cried and laughed! I think he channel's Buster for me!!! I do hope you will send some pics of your new family members once you get them?

Thoughts for you and Bailey. I know how hard it can be. I have Buster's collar hanging around my rear-view mirror with his id tag. I miss him very much and it crushed me to let him go. It took me a long time to get past that. The best thing I could have ever done was aquire a new companion. I have Binks now and he truly helped me to smile again. It is funny, I almost think Buster's spirit lives in Binks, there are some quirks that Buster had that Binks has. Really strange. Sorry for yappin on... I can talk about our furry companions all day!
