I'm so sorry you lost your baby!! It's never easy losing a pet b/c they ARE family! He was just beautiful too. Thank you for all the pics...including your Pissy (cracks me up) and your new baby too!
I just love dogs and cats too. One day we'll have doggies again.... life is so busy now that cats are easier to take care of for us.

And finally, I will share just a few memories and pics of my Boy Zachary. May you rest in peace Big Boy!
My Boy had his own special place on the couch just like Casey and now Ava does. Towards the end though he laided on the floor because his hips were going bad. I loved this Boy so much, he took a piece of my heart when I gave him back to the Lord.
He had a foot fetish
He was a really sweet boy. He would never hurt anyone and was as playful as all get out. Here he is on the couch wrestling with ds.
Zachary loved us and we loved him!
I'll never forget his sweet face.
He laid here by my feet so many times.
It's hard to believe when I took this pic, I'd have less than a year with him left.
This was taken last summer. It was our last summer.
This is where he laid. He got a good shot of the front door so no one could just walk into his house. He could make ya want to sh*t yourself if you knocked on the door!
We were goofin around in this pic. We always did.
One of his favorite games was to chase you snarling around the table after your feet. He played with my brother like that til he begged me to make him stop cuz he was tired and Zachary wasn't done. I told Big Boy to get him and my brother would run again!
My Boy would never hurt anyone. He never did. He pleased me to no end. I miss him so much. He was so sick in his last week with me, it broke my heart to see him in so much pain and I was the only one that could stop it and make him feel better even though it killed me inside.
I laid beside my Boy the night before and wept like a baby on him. I just cried and cried. I'll never forget it because the pain is still there for me. He was ready. When he looked at me, I could see in his eyes he was telling me he couldn't take it much more.
On March 4th, 2009 DH and I carried him on his blankie and put him in the bed of the truck and I took him to see his doctor. We laid quietly on the floor in the exam room and I pet him. I told him what a good boy he was to me and told him I loved him so much. The girl came in and gave him a sedative and she left. She came back 10 minutes later as Zachary and I laid on the floor and started his IV. As soon as she injected his medicine he passed away before he could get it all. She got up as I sobbed on him and left me ther for a 1/2 hour. I just cried and told him how sorry I was.
I had him cremated.
Losing a dog is just as bad as losing a child. I felt like I lost my son that day. I know I will have to lose Piss and Ava some day. It's so hard when you love them so much and know they are with you for a short time but the time they have spent with me is worth the heart ache in the end because I know when I die I will be met by my dogs on the other side.
God has a special place for them and I know He has a special place for me too!

Now onto my Casey. She's my best friend in the whole world! She has been there for me through some very difficult times and made me smile when no human could possibly make me happy. My girl Casey could though. She licked many a tears from my stinging face.
Here is Casey a.k.a. Piss, Pissy, Pissy Pants, Pissy Wissy, Pissels, Pissers, P-Pants, Louise, Rusty Butts.
Pissy and Ava
For being my bestest girlfreind, she gets nothing but the best place to sleep!
Mama's Girl
Don't ask her if she wants to go swimmin until you're ready cuz she'll beat you in there every time!
Here she is getting her ball.
She swims under water too! Don't believe me? See for yourself!
She could swim all day long if I let her!
She likes to lay on the porch after a good swim too!
Say CHEESE! Yes, she really smiles!
She's my girl but now I have two girls. Casey and Ava. When I come home, I say, There's my girls! I have a hand for both of them. They are precious and really better than the kids!
Wow your dog is adorable :) I love boxers. Thanks for the input too I will have to try some of that I mean i was looking for something out there that would help my hair grow longer and quicker :) Im off to the salon now for a slight trim and to let her know my new goal length is lower back :) wish me luck ! :)

The weather is lousy today. Rain and a high of low 70's if that. This is NOT summer weather in my book! I had to come home and throw on long comfy fleece pants and a hoody. Ghesh!
So, I;m gonna post pics of my babies. I haven't really shown my new baby off so here goes.
Everyone, meet my new baby Ava. She was 11 weeks in this pic taken in March. I got her 4 days after my Big Boy Zachary passed away. My house felt so empty without him, even though we had Casey. All our hearts were broken and Ava has helped fill that void and healed me in some way.
She is a full blooded reversed brindle Boxer baby.
Here she is on the couch. She was so little! Where did my lil puppy go?!
I love this pic of Ava!
When the tennis ball is too big for your mouth, us it as a pillow!
Here she is playing with one of her best buds, Duke...
I think she's saying: If you move, I will get you!
Mickey mouse? Is that you?
She loves the hose!
Playin hard makes me tired!
This is what happens when I get bored all by myself. Boy! MaMa was mad!
I'm really a good girl though! MaMa will tell you that she loves me very much!
Yep! Ava's right! I do love her! She's my Ava Baby! She just turned 6 months old on the 27th. She's getting so big!

Pburgh, I usually take a hair, skin, body and nail vitamin but I've been slacking. I've been taking a lot of *ignore the hair and it will grow*!
I am starting another round of Miconizole Nitrate. That my friend is Monistat aka coochie cream. You just put a little on your scalp and rub it in until the whole scalp is covered.
I don't know of anything else but those 3 things.
Hey paper, I am so stoked! It's been so long! I'm very happy looking at my hair now, knowing I'm on my way!

So I just measured and I was a solid 25". I haven't been taking any vitamins or doing MN as of late. I've been growing a 1/2" a month for the last few months. I am going to start the MN again without using vitamins to see where I go with it. I have a few tubes and will use them up and report back when finished. Hopefully, I'll gain more length and if I don't, I'll give up MN forever and go back to vitamins.
I did a treatment tonight so I'll measure in two weeks and see what I have if I remember. <--- That smilie is pretty cool!

Addy, I can't believe the difference in this last month.
I was looking at my hemline this morning and guess what?!!!!!!! I am finally at BSL! OMG, I couldn't believe my eyes this morning! I was so freaking excited! It not only touches my bra strap, it goes past it a lil bit! Another month and I'll be way past it! I can't tell you how happy I am! It's been two long years in Aug since my hair has been this long! I am finally back to where I was before getting hacked to death!
I should measure my hair though. My original goal was 30"... I betcha I'm sneaking up on it! I'll update a lil later on that. I hope to be waist by Dec 31st 2009!
I wore my hair in a french braid today since I was going to be cleaning at work. I didn't even bother to wet it down. I just braided and oiled the ends with EVOO. My hair loves it!

Of course I love the Steelers! I was so determined to go to a Super Bowl party that had the flu run through the house that I went anyways and got the flu two days later! That win was well worth it! Yes, I wear my hair pulled through the back of the cap. I always do when I wear a ball cap! For me personally, it looks stupid if I don't!
paper,
Thank you for the compliments! I think my hair grows fast but not fast enough for me! haha! It could always grow faster!
Today, I just wore a low ponytail and CO'ed.

I had major tangles yesterday from wearing my hair through the back hole of my fav Steelers hat. I was riding in the car a good bit with the windows down though so that's the reason. I didn't even bother coming it out and will CO today before work!
Gotta go take ds to summer school and then to work!
