Our Samantha

Posted by macroge1176 on Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

One week ago we lost our beloved Samanta due to liver disease. It has been a very heartbreaking time to go on with her gone. She was always with me in the quilting room and listened patiently to me planning projects and working through problems. Many of you who have lost a dear pet can find common ground with my pain. Samantha was a small dog and loved to wear little t-shirts. I plan to make a memorial quilt for our Samantha with her photograph and her t-shirts as well as embroidered little sayings we said to her. Samantha became ours last year when our dear friend Ann passed away. We knew that we would only have so much time to love her since Samantha was already over 10 years old when we adopted her. We can't say enough about what a treasure Samantha was. There are so many older dogs who need a loving home. Please always think adoption. The joy was all ours.

  • So sorry for your loss. What a gift Samantha was to you and your to her. Animals are so dear because it seems so easy to connect with them. We lost our dog Emma 6 months ago and soon after adopted Roxie who had spent the first 6 years of her life in a puppy mill. The joy in seeing her comfort and ease does my heart good. Take care and know that the heartbreak all comes from good honest love!

  • So sorry for your loss. Yes, I know exactly how you feel. I lost my "shadow" about 5 years ago and I still get teary-eyed when I think of her.
