Happy Heavenly Birthday To Our Precious Dakota

  Dear Dakota, today, you would have been 15 years old. It is the second birthday in 15 years that you are not here with us. The photo below was taken a few days before your 13th birthday.....I never dreamed it would be your last on this Earth.

There isn't a day that goes by that your Daddy and I don't think of you, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't mention your name, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't miss you, there isn't a day that goes by where we don't still love you. We will NEVER stop loving you. .

Our precious Dakota, we miss that incredible smile

 and your Sheltie kisses. 

Daddy gave you this sign on your 9th birthday

It was perfect and I love it maybe even more now

 You were our FIRST Sheltie, you gave us 13 incredible years......you loved us til your last breath with all of your heart.

I should be making you your traditional hamburger for your birthday. You loved those traditional birthday burgers so much, and I loved watching you enjoy them.

Please never forget how much Daddy and I miss you

 and how much we still love you.

Happy Birthday in Heaven our precious Sheltie Boy.......

Never, ever forget how much Daddy and I miss you and love you. Happy Birthday precious Dakota,   love from Mommy and Daddy forever..........

Grateful Cat "Not On Your Own" Music Video

I received an email from Gwendolin & Franky who happen to reside in Germany asking if I would share their video: "Not On Your Own" by Grateful Cat. I decided to share it because the video has a lovely message, that even when you feel as if you are alone, you really are not. Enjoy!

For the past few years, I have been the lucky recipient of the GORGEOUS Chinese New Year cards that talented artist, and fellow blogger, Maggie Swanson (visit her Shelter Cats blog here) creates every year. I dropped the ball (or so I thought), because the Chinese New Year began February 1st, 2022....then I found out that the Chinese New Year lasts SIXTEEN DAYS!!! Yay! I'm not late!

Please enjoy the beautiful card that Maggie made for the Year of The Tiger!!

GO OUT AND ROAR!!!
