Today would have been Riley's 9th birthday! I hope he is doing good in doggie heaven. At least he is up there keeping my grandma company. I am still sad and really miss him but Koby is helping mend my heart. A dog really is a best friend,,,, Enjoy every moment you have together!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

Check out the new little guy I will be getting in Feb! Unless I change my mind and pick one of his brother's this is the little man Koby. I really doubt I will change my mind but it feels safer to know that since I had to leave a deposit. I am more of the hands on personality type. He is such a cutie! I am excited! My parents got a german shepherd puppy, Korie and she is a lot of work so I can see that I am going to have a lot of responsibility coming up. Kittens are not hard to raise compared… Continue

Merry Christmas to all that Celebrate it! And Happy New Year!

Hopefully mine will bring joy instead of sadness like this past year. Again thanks everyone for being there for me! Happy holidays! Continue

Hey as most of you know my beloved Riley died of cancer. So to me it is so important to be aware and also to help research a cure. I have found a great website dedicated to finding cures for cancer and when you donate for every $ they send you a bracelet you can pass around to let others know or keep for yourself. So if anyone is interested the website is

Just as in people, early detection is critical. That's why it's so important… Continue

I got my Riley necklace about a week ago and finally here is a photo of it. Of course it doesn't capture its true beauty but it came out great and I am more comforted to be able to look down and still see him there with me.



There are so many things I miss like the sound of his bark, feeling his soft fur, and watching him roll over and surrender to me when he did something bad, like chew my ink pen. A funny memory I remembered the other… Continue

Hey everyone we are doing ok. I am trying to put my thoughts on paper and possibly write a book one day about coping with pet loss because there is not that many good books out there to read. It is disappointing. Sorry if I miss spell words I have my glasses off to rest my eyes and I have trouble seeing the keys lol I'm only 22 oh well anyways...My boss came to work today with flowers for me because she knew how much Riley meant to us! That was so sweet! I'm so glad that some people realize… Continue

Today I received Riley's ashes and they came in a beautiful box and a velvet bag that said "One day we shall meet again over the rainbow bridge"I thought I was doing better but this is hard, at least he is still with me in a way. I dedicated a shelf to him in my cabinet that displays photos, his favorite toys, and of course..him.

It was neat though as I came home my parents called to say there was a rainbow in the sky..I thought that… Continue

Yes guys your support really helps! I feel So much happier when I come on here and chat with everyone! It is nice to now others have shared this pain and can help talk about it. I have been reading books on pet loss and watching old videos, looking at old photos, and hugging my cats. So I am doing ok. My dad is babysitting the neighbors dogs right now so that is helping him. We still tear up when we talk about him because he is missed! But We… Continue

This photo makes me laugh its funny when you snap a picture and the animal blinks lol just like a person...Also he looks like he is smiling



There is nothing peaceful about putting your loved one to sleep. The vet couldn't believe Riley has made it this far. He couldn't find a vein to put the shot into because there were so many sores. God it was horrible! Riley cried as the shot went in I just held him tight and kept telling him he was the… Continue

That dreaded appointment is tomorrow~It is a horrible feeling. I am trying only to focus on happy memories.





A memory that was happy was when Riley got attacked by a pitt bull! He was only two years old and was out in the front yard where there is no fence and a pittbull comes running from down the street. My mom is shouting to my dad for help! Riley just kept rolling over and running, finally my dad opened the front door and Riley ran in. Thank god he survived! He had a few… Continue

I can barely see through the tears as I type. I have been looking at old photos and videos trying to cheer up. I haven't lost him yet, but the time is coming. We take him to the vet saturday and I know what he is going to recommend...Riley seems to be just so tired. He keeps staring off into space and doesn't know if he wants to sit or stand..He tries to follow me everywhere and I feel bad that he keeps getting up..I want him to relax. He decided to eat today so I gave him my sandwich. Whatever… Continue

Things were looking so good for Riley he was eating his food again, full of energy and just acting like nothing was wrong and he was his total normal self. Well yesterday he decided he didn't want to eat anything. He drank some water and milk but that was it. I still believe there can be a miracle but we definatly dont want our best friend to suffer so I dont know what to do. We are in such pain right now I feel as if my best friend is dying and a part of me is missing. It is not over yet… Continue

I never got a chance to take riley to the beach in his 8 1/2 years that we have lived in florida so I thought it was about time! Unfortunatly i forgot my camera card so i have no photos only my memory that sucked! Riley was afraid of the waves like I figured and he barked at them and had fun playin in the sand. He is still hanging in there so we are doing good!

Well Riley was looking thin, things were looking grim so I prayed for my baby again, I read healing scriptures over him and he got excited and full of energy. Then a few moments later he ate his dog food and gobbled it down.He hasnt ate his dry dog food in weeks! His teeth have been bloody with sores so he hasnt wanted to chew. Well after everyones prayers I looked and his teeth were completly healed! He has no more sores in his mouth! Please keep praying for him it is working! He is so full of… Continue

Riley is doing good he is being picky about what he eats but at least he is still eating! He wants meat instead of dog food! Thank you all for your prayers please keep praying. I tried to upload a video of him today sept 4th for everyone to see. He is full of energy. He has good days and bad days, but today was really good!

The vet says Riley has a rare form of skin cancer and only has a few months to live. He is only 8 years old! I do not accept those words!He has a bunch of sores on his legs and belly. My family is torn apart in tears right now. We prayed over him and believe that there are still miracles and that Riley will be one. He is still full of energy and eating mostly everything in sight. He was starting to have accidents in the house but again I prayed and he… Continue
