Several of you are already aware, but we bade Sally Sue a final farewell last weekend. She will be missed. Thirteen years in our home. Forever in our hearts.
Sally Sue 2000-2013 |
Sorry for your loss. She looks like such a sweet dog. And thanks for the awesome links.
ReplyDeleteShe was a good one. And you're welcome.
DeleteSo sorry about Sally. What a beauty.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she thought so too. ;-)
DeleteSo sorry about Sally Sue. Hardest thing in the world is to say goodbye to a furry family member.
ReplyDeleteYes, especially when they've been in your life for so long.
DeleteI particularly like the interview.
ReplyDeleteThere are some good ones out there. I do like finding them.
DeleteThanks for the link to Elizabeth's bible post, so funny, and ironic.
ReplyDeleteAnd so sorry to hear about Sally Sue xx
Suzanne @ Suzannes Tribe
That was a good post on several levels. And thanks.
DeleteAlways sad to lose a pet. They become such an integral part of the family.
ReplyDeleteThat they do. The void will be present a long while.
DeleteThank you for the links.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about Sally Sue. It's never easy losing a beloved pet.
You're welcome, Medeia, and thank you.
DeleteLoosing a good pet is never easy. Pets add so much to our lives, including fond memories. Hang on to those.
ReplyDeleteI already miss scratching those ears of hers. She loved that.
DeleteBon Voyage, Sally Sue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Widder.
DeleteAw, so sorry about Sally Sue! She looks like such a sweet dog. I've had to say goodbye to a couple of my own dogs in the past, and each of their deaths felt like a punch to the heart. I can only imagine how hard this must feel for you...
ReplyDeleteIt's never easy.
DeleteAw, I'm sorry to hear about Sally Sue.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynda.
DeleteSo sorry about Sally Sue, Jeff. Forever in your hearts!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily.
DeleteThose epic fantasy lists have now totally distracted me for the day! ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Sally Sue. We went through that with our own dog a few years back. It's tough.
If epic fantasy candyland doesn't distract you, nothing will!
DeleteYes, it's always tough saying goodbye. I'm always amazed how closely we bond with our furry little friends.
So, so, very sorry about your loss. I had to say good-bye to an amazing Bassett Hound named Simone a few years ago; she is sorely missed. *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteSuper stoked for the next installment of The Hobbit. CAN'T WAIT.
Thanks, Jaybird! My wife was adamant about wanting a Basset when we got Sally Sue. The old girl sure did grow on me.
DeleteAnd as far as The Hobbit goes, that might be a get-off-work-early occasion for me.
Condolences on Sally Sue! Great links, though. I especially liked the 50 Essential Epic Fantasies, and yes, the Desolation of Smaug looks amazing! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liesel. Some of those fantasies were truly epic.
DeleteAw thanks for the linkage Jeff.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. I have an old girl that makes me nervous every time she weezes, so I feel for you.
My pleasure, Elizabeth. I'd bet your old girl is about as spoiled as ours was. :)
DeleteSorry for your loss Man. I had to put my 15-year-old cat to sleep and I was a wreck. That 50 epic fantasies post sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThat hits you on several levels and all below the belt. But yes, that 50 epic fantasies list is awesome.
DeleteIt's tough losing someone you love.
ReplyDeleteI'll follow up on the submissions links, so thanks for them.
Well best of luck if you decide to submit!
Delete{{hugs}} to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the links! I'm going to need those opening chapter tips...
Thanks, Deniz. I somehow think your opening chapters aren't too shabby.
DeleteI'll have to go back and check out that link about adding suspense and intrigue, two important ingredients for any good story. Thanks for sharing the links!
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure, Cynthia.
Deletegreat events!
ReplyDeleteand i had to read elizabeths iwsg, that was funny!
It definitely was. That Elizabeth can find the funniest things!
