Remembering . . .



PHANTOM
11/20/1998 - 4/2/2015







I have so much I want to say about my life with Phantom, but the emotions are still too raw.  I will let the video speak for the joy he brought me over his sixteen years.  How I wish I had more photos from his younger days, but I didn't have a digital camera then:(  Thank you all again so much for all your loving messages.  I miss Phantom so much, but I know he is forever in my heart.

Hugs, K.

  6. He was certainly one of the special ones - for some reason certain blog buddies hold a special place. We love all our buddies but still - there are certain dogs we feel a real connection too and Phantom was one of those for us - probably because all of Mom's furbabies have lived to be very old and she has a real soft spot for senior doggies. And of coarse he had those beautiful blue eyes. We know you will miss him for a long time to come but each day gets a little easier.

  7. Though Phantom's eyes were blue and Tsar's were brown, they had the same expression. I miss that deep, trusting, thoughtful look.

  19. Kathie, that is a beautiful tribute to Phantom. Thank you for sharing him with us over the years.

    They say life always goes on, but what they don't say is that life goes on but with so many changes when a loved one is no longer with us.

    Phantom will always be watching over you and his family.

  31. Beautiful tribute. Made me cry with sadness but also with joy. He was so loved and that is all that our furry kids want...is our love. And he got a ton of it! The sadness will slowly pass, but you have 16 wonderful years of memories that cannot be taken.

    Until we see Phantom again...
