Good morning, all. Have a great day!

Good morning, all! Good morning, Shirley!!!

Love the Houghton holiday lights! So festive!

Have a great day!

good morning!!

Rest in Peace sweet little Brody. You were loved and enjoyed to the fullest every minute you were with us! You will never leave us completely, keeping you deep in our hearts! Love, Mom, Dad, & Brimley

Omgosh! What happened, Janie? That post makes my eyes tear up :-(

Oh Janie, I am so sorry. Brody is at the Rainbow Bridge playing with Joey. Rest in peace little guy. So, so sorry. :(

Janie, so very sad for your loss of Brody! Like Deb, my tears started flowing as soon as I saw that. Sending you a warm hug....also one for Brimley!

Good Morning. Hugs to you, Janie, on your loss of Brody! My thoughts and prayers are with you! I have tears for him, especially because my very good friend, my 14-year old Havanese boy, Snow Bear, is nearing the Rainbow Bridge, too. He is on three meds for heart failure, and it is just a matter of time before his runs out, too. About all he will eat now is human food, but he still gulps that down with zest.

Condolences, JT...You did what had to be done.
Good, responsible pet owners always have something to be proud of with lots of good memories.

Janie, I'm so sorry for your loss of Brody.

what happened to the comments about the pictures?

AND. Do not EVER get me wrong....it is not easy losing a beloved pet under any circumstance but, it can be put on another page. Why doesn't someone start a page for that?

I know I will catch flack for this but, lets start a seperate page for that. Dedicate it to our loved and lost pets, which are family members. I have lost pets that I had to put down while in my arms.

From the Acceptable Use Policy:
In 2004 we distinguished comments related to the daily picture (Cam Notes) from other miscellaneous conversation in a new feature called "What'sUP". Occasionally the conversation on this supplemental page will include topics "other than strictly U.P. related".
(I added the quotation marks)

ALEX; I understand that.;O)

A poster on yesterdays What'sUP page said "this website is to comment on photos." Now I see a comment by that same poster, that occasionally, the conversation on this supplemental page can include other topics. Its helpful to review the "acceptable use policy" now and again...:o)

Thank You for your kind thoughts. I appreciate them greatly. Just when you think there can't be any more tears, plenty more release.

Bless your heart, Janie, I know exactly what you mean.
Your profile pic of Brody & Brimley today is so precious, but heart-breaking.

Dedicated to Brody, a really great dog;


A BRIDGE CALLED LOVE


It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.

And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.

There is a bridge of memories
from Earth to Heaven above…
It keeps our dear ones near us
It’s the bridge that we call love.

Rest in peace little boy.

This poem truly says it all! Thank You!

To bad that poem could not be dedicated to the twenty (20) children and six (6) adults, who were murdered.

Sometimes the loss of a loved one is just as important as the pictures are. We ARE commenting on the pictures, but are capable of giving Janie our condolences on the loss of her pet at the same time. We don't need another page for that. It's just being human. And I believe you added something about putting your pets down while holding on to them. It's okay that you put that on this page. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It hurts. Janie is a big part of the pasty family, and I think she deserves our condolences out in the open where everybody can read it.

I think it could be dedicated to anybody. But I think we're all just saying here that we love our pets also. Good grief!

NOTHING was posted, poems or anything, about the murder of the chilldren and aduts. Good GOD....

Ah yes, there was something posted about Newtown.
Many folks posted remarks of sadness over the loss
of human life.

Yes, jbuck, we did. I think that was one of the hardest days ever. My heart still aches for the loss there. But there's room in my heart for Janie's dog, too.

Wow JT, I am sorry for your loss! You still have all your great memories and pics of Brody to keep you smiling, time WILL heal your pain kiddo! Praying your hurt turns to smiles!

UC


BTW FOLKS, the "Whats Up" page is EXACTLY what this is for! Get a grip!

Well said, UC

Let's all remember that the holidays can be a sad, lonely or stressful time for many people for many reasons. Emotions can be raw due to recent events such as the Newtown murders or long term hurts which make hearts heavy. Let's all have compassion for all who enter here and bless each other with our comments.

Amen! You hit the nail right on the head, Jbuck.

Amen, Uncle Chuck!

I agree with Alex and Marianne!

Uncle Chuck, thank you for the kind post! It was a smile maker for me!

Happy Holidays to all. I am looking forward to my Christmas. ;O) with a smile on my face and a good feeling for all in my heart..;O)
