After teaching for 24 years and then fulfilling my dream of having a quilt shop, I retired the end of August 2007. Having the shop for almost 8 years was wonderful...I had a great time, met lots of people that I am happy to call friends, but the time came to retire. Andy retired in April, so the time was right. I'm loving spending time with him and getting to go see my 2 grandsons, granddaughter, son and daughter-in-law whenever I want. And I get to SEW!
Oh my goodness Carol I am so very sad for you, Mr. Brown and Howie. Howie and Zach always made me smile when I would visit you and their love for each other and you both. My heart breaks knowing how much you will miss him.
Oh Carol.... I am so Sorry... Know that so many will hurt right along with you. Gosh this is never easy. Your other pup will need extra hugs... They have always been together....
I feel for you Carol. Zach must be up there playing with our Rossgo. Another gorgeous Lab who looks very much like your Zach. So he will have a friend.
Oh, I'm so so sorry. There is no pain we have to endure like the loss of a beloved pet. The only fault dogs have is that they don't live long enough. I wish I could help with your pain. I'm glad he had such a loving home. Praying for you.
Dear Girl - I am so sorry. There are no words at a time like this, but know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in prayer. I know that Zack was blessed to be loved by you and I hope that soon, the wonderful memories will bring you comfort.
Carol, I know you, Andy, and Howie are feeling so sad right now. We all love hearing your stories about the boys. I used to love to come to the the store and see the boys as pups. They were so rambunctious yet sweet. We'll will miss him, too. Virtual hugs.
So sorry to hear that Zach has gone on ahead. We miss our little Rocco every day. What unconditional love these guys have given us! I know how large the hole is in your heart right now. Hugs from us.
I am so sorry for the sadness I know you are feeling! Perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that Zack was a very lucky dog who enjoyed a loving and caring family - he will always be a part of your heart!

So sorry Carol! The loss of a pet can be so difficult. I was a mess after we lost our Weimer many years ago. My heart and my hugs go out to you and your husband.
Oh my gosh Carol - I am so, so sorry for your loss. Just losing my CC kitty a little over a week ago, I can certainly sympathize with you. They cheer our every waking moment, and leave such a huge hole behind. Hugs to you.
Carol, I am so sorry for your loss of Zach. He was blessed to be a part of your family. I am sure his spirit will be watching over you. I love my dogs too.
As soon as I saw his picture on my sidebar, I knew. You and Andy must be in terrible pain. And I'll bet poor Howie is just lost without his BFF. Hugs to all of you.......
Carol, my heart sank when I saw your post. I am so very sorry . I have been where you are. The acute stage of grief passes with time, but the sense of loss lingers for a very long time.
Farewell dear boy. You brought so much joy to those around you each and every day. You will be sorely missed. We promise to look after your mom just as you would if you were still here. RIP.
Carol. It is so difficult to lose a dog you love and twice as difficult when the dog you lose is a Lab. It was wonderful that you were his Mom and you loved him so much.A big hug to you from a fellow quilter and Lab lover.
OH Carol! I am so sorry...my heart is aching for you and for his sweet buddy Howie. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Gentle Hugs sweet friend...
Oh my word, Carol. I am so truly sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers today. I am sitting her typing crying for you because I know down deep how hard losing your loved one is.
Please know that your boys have always been so special to me.
My heart goes out to all of you. It hurts so bad. I will be keeping you in my prayers for comfort and healing. Those big yellow dogs hold a deep place in our hearts.
SO sorry....I am not a dog person, but really enjoyed reading about the boys and seeing their adorable pics. He will leave such an empty spot in your family....
Oh Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose our furry friends and it sounds like Zach was one of the best. I bet Howie is lost without him too.

So sorry about your sweet Zach. I know you will miss him greatly. Our furry friends are such a big part of our lives. I lost my first (totally mine, not family's) dog on Christmas Eve many years ago. I still have an 8x10 photo of him in the guest bedroom.
Just read Monday's post and am sending along a hug. So sorry for the loss of your sweet boy. Our fur babies have such a special place in our hearts- I know your's must be breaking. thinking of you.....
Sending thoughts, prayers and hugs. Losing our furry family members is so hard. We just lost 2 dogs, grandmother (18 yrs) and granddaughter (13 yrs) last month. They take up so much room in our lives and hearts and leave such a large hole when they leave. Take care of yourselves and Howie.
Oh, Carol - I am sorry I missed this post on Monday - I am so sad for you (big tears). I hope Zack finds my Dad to say hi!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours!!
Carol--my precious Barney dog went to heaven December 5. The house has such an empty silence to it. Hugs to you. Cherish the memories. We will get through this. P.S.--I haven't blogged in years, but I'm thinking about restarting my blog again. All that's left on it, is my photo of Barney.
Oh Carol.....I am so so very sorry about sweet Zach leaving for the Rainbow Bridge. It is so heartbreaking to lose one of our furkids and then you have Howie who was so close to his buddy. Big hugs coming your way....He may have left this earth but he will always be in your heart.
Carol, I'm so sorry about your sweet Zach. We lost our little dog Chloe last year about this same time. It's heart wrenching but know he is in heaven now and happy. Time will heal your hearts.
