Update on Emma


I am so sorry to say Emma had to be put down last week. She was truly a special dog. I adopted Emma from Airedale Terrier Rescue and Adoption (ATRA) over 3 years ago when she was 10 years old. Her first family had a son with medical issues. They decided to adopt her out so she could get the attention she deserved. Otto, my airedale I've had since he was 10 weeks old immediately got along with Emma. They were fast friends.

After Emma blew out her knee the Vet said she wasn't able to have surgery. Emma had other medical issues plus her age was against her. It got to the point she couldn't put any weight on her back leg and couldn't get up on her own. Last Tuesday was one of the hardest days I've had. She is in puppy heaven now playing with all her friends.

Thanks to everyone for you prayers and thoughts. I can't tell you how much they are appreciated.

  5. Ida, Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and following me.
    To answer your question. The flowers are crochet'd with embroidery floss. I went to the library and got a book on crocheting flowers. If you know how to crochet, they are pretty easy. Shari (cricutrookie)

  6. I just stumbled upon your blog and I love it. But what got me was the passing of your beloved dog Emma. I just lost my sweet Lab Samantha a few months back. We had to put her down also, such a hard decision to make. I am so sorry for your loss. But now my Samantha will have a new friend to play with!
