I have tried to convince myself of this since I was a child. Now, as an adult living with four sticky children, "a wanna be full-time farmer" husband, and a sometimes sticky dog, I still don't believe it.

I am so sorry about Buchta. It's gotta be so hard to lose her. I hope you guys are all holding up Ok.
Thanks for the condolences. There are big empty spaces all around us right now because 9 1/2 years with a dog that craved her people created an immeasurable bond. The Christmas photo this year will missing a special family member :(
I'm so sorry for your loss, Mechelle. I lost Addy 3 years ago and I still miss her everyday. Much love to you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. Take care and cherish the memories forever.
A runner's creed: I will win; if I cannot win, I shall be second; if I cannot be second, I shall be third; if I cannot place at all, I shall still do my best.
Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident - It is as common as life. ~Henry David Thoreau, 11 March 1842, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a child I would sit on my hands, palm side up, to try to get the sticky off them. This was especially important to do after eating an orange. Then in the next breath I would pour Elmer's glue all over my palm, spread it thinly, and wait for it to dry. Once it was dry I would carefully peel it off and then bury it in the flower pot outside. I've learned to use soap and warm water, my oldest son has a fascination with glue, I still can't find pants that "fit", I would like to burn all socks and bras (except of course those that I wear to run), and if I didn't run everyday I would need to be medicated, heavily, with either Prozac or chocolate. Then I really would have a difficult time finding pants that fit.

I'm thinking of all of you.
I am sorry to hear about this. Buchta sounded like a good dog and special part of your family. Take care.
Buchta will be missed by all. But as Emma said, "she'll make lots of new friends in heaven".
We're so sad for you and the kids. We'll miss Buchta so much. She was an excellent dog.

Mechelle,
Sorry about your lovey--she sounds like a splendid specimen of canineness.
Thinking of you...
I'm so sorry. I can't believe how much you all must be missing her. There is no greater life than that of a loved dog.
