Thankful Thursday


It has been so comforting to our family to have such wonderful friends in the world of blogs.

Once again we want to thank you all so much for the many beautiful comments and emails we have received both in sympathy for our loss of Angel Ciara and as loving comfort to Lightning, Mom, and Dad.  Our hearts are still very heavy with sorrow and grief, but your love and compassion are making the load much lighter.


Look at the beautiful cards we have received.




And lucky Lightning received some delicious House Woof Dog Biscuits (Johnson, Vermont) from Khyra and Holly to help lift his spirits.  TWO bags worth - Granola Bark Bars and Apple Pie Bars!!!  We hear they are both furry and human delectable.  Lightning promises to share with Misty, but Mom says for now Misty is just getting her puppy food, no treats until she is a little older and fully settled.  So for now we are going to freeze half of each bag and Lightning can enjoy the other half (shh, don't tell Misty!),  Thank you, Khyra, Holly, and theirMom.



Mom wants to say a few words now:

Yes, the pups are right, we are so very thankful for all the wonderful peeps and furries who have visited our blog over the past two weeks.  It is hard to accept that it was only two weeks ago today that we bid our sweet girl Ciara farewell for now.  We have lost several of our Sibes in the past few years, but this one hit very hard.  Ciara was the sweetest pup ever!!! And I miss her SO much.

But this new little life who bounced into our home a mere six days ago is doing a great job at helping us heal.  We are very grateful to those who helped her find her way to us.  And even more reason for thanks -   just look at these photos to see how bonded these two have already become.













You are right, Mom - I think we should keep her:)

Woos - Lightning, Misty, and Mom

  1. We knew Ciara would find a way to send a special pup your way - she picked the perfect one for lightning and we are sure they are going to be the best buds ever - we have our paws crossed that they both live long and healthy lives

  2. Oh my dogness!!! I've had an insane schedule lately, and I was not online much. And, to my utter delight, Misty arrived during that time. Woo!!!!!!! She's is SO cute. I love her mask - it is unique and beautiful. I'm glad that you have this new bouncing little girl to help your hearts heal. It looks to me as Lightning loves her already :)

    Hugs to all of you!

  3. Oh what very beautiful cards in memory of Ciara....we all miss her and her fighting spirit. She surely taught us a lot.

    OH MY Cats Lightning you have an itty bitty shadow. I can't decide which is my favorite photo....let me look again....if I had to chose it would be the one on the hammock. That is too adorable. Before long Misty's feets will be long enough to hang over the edge too. You are a loving bro and I can see a sparkle in your eyes.
    Hugs all around from Madi your kitty friend and mom

  11. The photos of Lightning and Misty are almost too adorable for words!

    We know how much you love your pups and our hearts ached so for you when Ciara left on her journey. We are delighted that Misty has joined you. #1 says her only regret is that she can't come right over and cuddle her, and Lightning!

    Woofs,
    Tommy

  16. Hi, I imagine there will be a bit of Ciara's sweet temperament in your new little girl. It always amazes me that when we have lost a dog, the next pup ends up having some similar traits-I think it is a way to comfort us with the grief we have. Love little Misty! She is so beautiful. Am I right to think that you were planning on getting her before Ciara left for the bridge? Not sure, but I know Ciara is happy that Lightning has another buddy. They look so precious together.
    Hugs,
    Noreen and Hunter

  20. We love the first picture of them looking off the deck. Lightning and Misty are adorable together and looks like they need each other.

    We are still so saddened by Ciara's passing, but like NaNor said, I think you'll see a little of her in Misty. :)

  27. Ciara was indeed so special and dear. I don't think you could have found a more perfect companion for young Lightning. He desperately needed someone to help him move forward and you found her, Miss Misty. Happy tears seeing him with her and looking so happy.
