Last night she was fine...but I knew this day was coming...but not so soon. The Vet was wonderful,they love me and Pinky, we have spent many times there. I was holding and kissing her as she got her injection...the toxins from her cancerous liver got into her blood stream and to her brain. I am crying my eyes out and sickened with her loss...she was a baby girl,my daughter...just with 4 legs and fur. Love to you!; April 16, 2012 at 2:39 PM

I am so so very sorry that you had to say goodbye to Pinky today. I can only imagine how difficult it had to be and how very sad you are. I have joined the special group of dog lovers... Jake is a 7-month old miniature dachshund and I've had him since early December. Already, I cannot imagine him not being in my life. So, Suzi, after 14 special years with Pinky, I see that your pain is deep and real. All I can do is keep you close in heart and thought. I will say special prayers for you, Suzi, and I'm sending big hugs your way. ♥♥♥

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
