I miss Holly Dolly Baby

It was a week ago today that our Holly passed on. I have missed her so much. I guess I didn't realize how much I looked for her to help her out during the day and make sure she was okay. So after she was not here, it really was such an empty feeling. After one of the puggies leaves for the rainbow bridge, you can still feel the way their fur feels or feel the way you held them. You still can smell their smell. You still hear their bark and all the little things they did each day...the way they look at you or move their ears or twitch their nose or blow in your face like they do. After a while, you lose these senses. I want to hold on to them so much and not lose it. But I know in reality it's not going to stay with me after time passes. But the memories will.

Here is sweet Holly in her Punchy original Easter dress. I loved seeing her in this dress.

We had Holly cremated and this is what we get back from the Gulf Coast Pet Crematory. The man that owns this place is so nice. He came to the house at midnight the night that Chichi passed away. He was so nice to us. So he is who gets called when ours pass away. This is the container that her remains are in. Chichi and Tiny and Baxterman all have a container that looks just like that.

Here is the box that the husband picked up at the vet's office with her remains in it.

This is a certificate. We have one for everyone that's passed on.



Today is the husband's and my anniversary. We are going out to eat tonight. This week is a big week around here with our anniversary and my birthday and the niece's wedding. We have wedding activities on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Magnolia Sun is taking me to lunch today. I hope to have pictures tomorrow to show!

Oh Sandy, I can't imagine how hard it must be when they pass. I dread the day. They bring such joy to our lives, and I am so thankful that you bring so much love and joy to theirs!!! Hugs!

Your post about Dolly baby made me very sad. You must be missing that sweet baby so much.. Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby. It looks like you will be busy with the wedding and it will distract you from your sadness.

It is so true, I sometimes forget Nyla isn't here. We've got her blanket in a plastic container to try and hold on to her smell.

PS - Your birthday gift is going to be late! I left it at the camper...drat....

I'm sure the other Puggies miss her too. She was such a sweet girl.
