I just realized that for those that were around a long time ago and perhaps are not friends on FB they might not have realized that this summer I faced one of the worst times when I had to put my Hemi girl down. She was failing and I probably held on to her longer than I should have but like anything else the ones you love the most are the hardest to let go of. She was my <3 dog and while I likely will come close to having them again, Sequoia is certainly a close second to Hemi, she will always be the bar which they will be measured by.

I am so sorry to hear about Hemi.
The loss always cuts deeply. A friend of mine recently adopted a golden doodle and her puppies face reminds me so much of Cerberus. It has been a year and when it hits me the loss still feels like it was just yesterday.

I'm so sorry, Mary... That brought me back to a place thinking about Junior, and the pain...
Dang it. I'm sorry. *hug*

Thanks everyone, I haven't had a dog hit me quite like her when I lost her. It will take time and my others still bring me so much joy and keep me sane but she will always own a huge piece of my heart.

I'm so sorry to hear about Hemi, she was such a character. They take a piece when they go, we just lost Kato as well. RIP Hemi

They don't live long enough.... It is the bargin that we have with God...this love, but only for now. And yet, it is their love that sustains us throughout our lives. My dogs that have gone are still in my heart. I still feel them. Memory of them sustains me. And I hope and pray that I will one day see them again...waiting to help me cross over that bridge. I hope that you will see your heart dog Hemi again. I'm giving you a big hug in my mind.

Let a Howl Go Up to Heaven... Hemi has passed on.

Thanks Bailey's Mom! I have no doubt I will see her again and I am sure she will give them hell until I get there to tame her again.

Thanks everyone, she is greatly missed... often at the oddest moments. Like when sick and I don't have the dog that sleeps on my legs for comfort or when hauling the kids old sled out of the garage :( she was certainly one in a million.
