Giving My Fur Baby Wings

This day last year was one of the worst days of my life when my sweet baby Ginger passed away.

I took on a huge task for me anyway that week to add wings and a halo to my baby girls picture.

I cried through most of the process and it wasn’t perfect but I needed something to do besides sit around.

This was the finished product and I still love it and am proud of it even thought it’s not the greatest composite.

Today I added a little beveled frame and some pretty presets to it.  (Milk & Honey and Brown Derby)

I miss her terribly and cried most of this morning but I am glad I am a photo nut and took a bazillion pictures of her over her life because I have them all to look back on and it makes me smile.

Wordy Wednesday-Birthday Wrap Ups

40th Birthday Selfie

40th Birthday Festivities (My sister’s birthday is the day after mine so we have always had our birthday parties together. We are 1 year and 364  days apart.)

We were not ready for the pic but my parents were…...LOL

Had a brief pause in the festivities in between mine/my sisters birthday & Bub’s to remember two friends who passed. My friend Melissa who recently passed away from cancer and my best friend that passed away in 2007. Please be in prayer for both families. It never gets easier when we loose a loved one.

And of course my Ginger who would have been 15 this year. Her birthday is the day before Bub’s. I still miss her like crazy.

Bub’s 16th birthday day and party.

We went to his favorite museum with my parents.

Then had a party for him the following Saturday.

Weary and Broken

I am definitely weary and broken right now.

Love this song and so need it.

I am glad I have video of my baby girl so I can still listen to her demand her snacks and meals. It's comforting.

One Of The Worst Days Of My Life

Yesterday was heartbreaking, terrifying, bittersweet…any any other word for just plain awful.

My baby girl went to puppy heaven.

Ginger went downhill in a matter of a week and we found out she had liver cancer this past Saturday. All her labs earlier this year came back normal. She still had a sludgy gallbladder but her levels were good and we still suspected a bit of cushings. Her weight had dropped a bit at a time but we all chalked it up to old age. I wish I had seen the signs earlier and really known what to look for but since our furbabies can’t talk I just had no clue. She still did all her favorite things which consisted of eating, swimming, sleeping and eating some more.

I just can’t believe this was last Christmas…

I am broken without her. I just really don’t know how to function right now. Not even sure why I am typing this post….

Maybe its theraputic??

All I can hope is that she met up with my old best friend Malibu

And all of my other fur babies I had as a child/young adult.

and maybe she will get to visit with my Great Aunt Helen who loved her so much and would always play tug of war with her. Ginger never gave up her toy.

I will miss her snuggles

and my swimming buddy

and Daddy’s fire buddy

Brad made her the most beautiful grave right out by the fire pit. She loved to sit out there with her Daddy.

We did all her favorite things before she passed. Sat out in the sun and let it hit her face. Ate a #cheeseburger and fries from ickdonalds even though she could only eat a little bit of it. Gave her a nice warm bath in my garden tub so she could feel like she was in the swimming pool. Put on our fire DVD while we snuggled on the floor so she could hear the crackling fire.

She was ready but I would have forever not been ready.

Please keep the prayers coming.

xoxo,

Jenny
