Muffin died in O...You have a way with words, Jeff.<br /><br />Muffin died in October of 2007. I was in Washington, DC as an intern at the time. How grateful I was that it was Rebecca Keller who could shoo away our fellow interns as I lay sobbing in my bed. <br /><br />She's buried in our back yard. My dad placed a big rock plus four smaller ones in the shape of a paw. I still get emotional even almost 3 years later. <br /><br />The loyalty, sensitivity, and compassion of a creature of our God and King cannot be overstated and should not be trivialized. Thank you for doing neither. . .Sundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327866250579556044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-82414749053819118892010-07-18T13:29:57.665-06:002010-07-18T13:29:57.665-06:00I am glad you chose to share this with others.

I don't have as many memories, but I know how much she cared for your family. She really was a good dog, even if she did breath funny.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215365331722185746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-10515748981708312832010-07-17T18:14:51.964-06:002010-07-17T18:14:51.964-06:00Jeff -

I am glad that your dog lived a long life and was loved by your family.Audra Swapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684320156873170260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-31508201667184909512010-07-17T14:15:20.849-06:002010-07-17T14:15:20.849-06:00Dude, same thing just happened to me a few months....Dude, same thing just happened to me a few months. Shadow our Black Lab whom we got when I was 11 was put to sleep because it needed to happen. It's so hard to make that choice when you see this loved one suffering so much and you just want to them to stop hurting. I think he was pretty old, too. 29-11=18 x 7= 126 years?! Crazy. Don't laugh if I didn't get the math right. :) I cried for a few days and even considered flying down to be with him as he passed. Isn't is wonderful that Heavenly Father created animals for us to love? I know my dog is much happier now and that we'll see him again :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383158599622489734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-26741983705517146862010-07-17T14:00:30.877-06:002010-07-17T14:00:30.877-06:00Thanks, for bringing to light the greatness of God...Thanks, for bringing to light the greatness of God's Creations.

I don't think I've ever written that much in my journal when a family pet died. (I guess it's because none have died since I was a lot younger.) She seems like she was a great dog.Kaylihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418947533297193343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3975311211849239826.post-23656741527811311542010-07-16T22:08:34.422-06:002010-07-16T22:08:34.422-06:00I get to be the first to post a comment.That was v...I get to be the first to post a comment.That was very beautiful and a lovely tribute. I wrote a few things in my journal, too. I think reading this and others feelings will help us all get through this. Though my heart is heavy and the tears come easily I know Kloey is in a beautiful place. Maybe in heaven she can have a family of her own and raise a whole bunch of little Kloey's. <br />Thank you for being so caring about Kloey and about me. I know I couldn't get through this without the love of my family. I never thought that I would be one of those who felt such a loss at losing a dog, but like you said she was so much more than that. She was a member of the family and so much a part of the spirit of our home. She always made it a better place to beMarilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225525158114828242noreply@blogger.com
