Sigh…we are picking up Emma’s ashes today:(

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and sad blog posting not lovers…Well…this is a posting that is ruff and the journey to bring her home will be hard.  Today is the day we go get Emma’s ashes.  I really want her home.

This is the first video I made of Emma.  YouTube was not invented yet.

Time sure flies and the moments are never long enough with our blessed hounds.

I am thrilled that we made every moment count.

More coming home later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

    I know that Emma will be soooo happy to be home with her family and her comfortable spots/toys. Your home will always be home to Our Emma.

    Dear Cat and Chaps,

    It will be comforting to see Emma every day and know that her loving family is still with her and will be with her always! Take care of yourself and Chaps who will need you more then ever. Loving thoughts to you and Grandma and belly rubs and kisses to your sweet boy. Always in my prayers.

    It was a sad, but happy day when we brought our Ruby home too. She is still on her couch in our bedroom. Each morning I pat the box and tell her good morning. The days will get easier, the pain not so raw. Glad you had a good birthday celebration with your son.

    We are home now with our Emma. The experience was very special. The Hospice facility had us set up in a very spiritual room so we could spend some time talking about her. A crashing thunder storm came up while we were there. It was a good thing we did not bring Chaps. The storm did not hit bassethoundtown.

    Emma is sitting next to Grandpa, Chloe and Lily. I think Chaps and I might take a nap.

    I feel like a wash rag that has been wrung out and let to dry in a crumple.

    Yes, I totally agree with you B&G. She was our Emma and sharing her story every paw step of the way is what I am going to do. Emma would want it that way. Today was so heartfelt and I want to show the residents how Hospice honored all of us, yet again…

    I know that today was very hard for all of you and that Emma is very happy to be back at home with those who love her. It still does not seem real that I will never see her in the park again or get one of those slobbery kisses. It is good to talk about and remember our sweet girl. I will never forget her innocent little face. Take care of Chaps and give him plenty of hugs.

    Emma will always be with us in pictures, videos and our hearts. You have done a fabulous job documenting Emma’s journey for all of us to enjoy and learn. Thank you so much.

    Give Chaps a hug from the Doyle household. We think of you all the time.
