Chance woulda been 14 today. As it is he has been gone a month now and we still miss him everyday. He loved the extra jerky treats and french fries that he usually got on his birthday…and maybe even a piece of chicken, or spaghetti squash or baked carrots…all his favorite foods.
No birthday photos this year and no picture with the witch hat on Halloween…he hated that hat.
Last summer I had a photo made into a canvas. When I got it I showed it to Chance…he was not impressed. We didn’t know where to hang it so it ended up on the fireplace mantle.
Beautiful photo. I have one of Mr. Morris on the wall. It took me a few months before I could put it there. I can see it at smile at him every day.
ReplyDeleteHe was a beautiful dog. I know you both miss him terribly.
ReplyDeleteChance was such a beautiful dog. I miss his "posts". What a wonderful photo and memory of Chance.
ReplyDeleteI miss Chance, too.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I miss him and would have been wishing him a happy birthday if he were still on this side of the grass. :-(
ReplyDeleteBittersweet birthday. You'll never forget him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of Chance! We dog people sure do miss our canine family member!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful photo of Chance. I miss his posts. What a wonderful dog he was to you and Far Guy. Happy birthday chance! Blessings, Betsy
ReplyDeleteAwwww..... happy birthday in heaven, Chance. Please make sure my kitty Mistletoe gets a piece of your cake. Lovingly, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Chance, he'll always live on in your thoughts and heart.
ReplyDeleteAwwww what a beautiful canvas/photo. Tess's birthday is tomorrow, she will be 12. I too miss the posts from the handsomest border collie.
ReplyDeleteNice photo to put on canvas and to see every day on the mantle.
ReplyDeleteA great picture of Chance. I know you miss him. What a great life you shared with him though.
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect place for that canvas to be - Happy Heavenly Birthday Chance ol' friend! he was a friend to everybody!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Heavenly Birthday, Pal! Boomer in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteMom says Sigh! She loves the photo.
Happy birthday Chance!
ReplyDeleteSorry he's not here to celebrate it with you.
Happy heavenly birthday Chance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of Chance to remind you every day of the joy he brought to your life. You will have to toast him tonight with French fries!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of Chance. I know you miss him terribly. He will live on in your hearts and memory but I know that is not the same thing. You gave him the best possible life and now he is celebrating in heaven.
ReplyDeletebirthdays are special days to remember those we don't have anymore.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of Chance. A nice memorial to a great dog.
ReplyDeleteMakes me a little sad. We all miss him.
ReplyDeleteI still have a hard time believing he's gone...but then I have always loved pretending life is how I want it whether it is or not. Nitty is hanging in there but the lifter is out of the question because sometimes she's incontinent and I can handle it out in the garage but not in the house.....she pees a river! LOL! But it's an ending...not sharing our evenings, knowing she's not there near the bed....it's a slow painful letting go. For me not her and Annie...the Vetprofin has worked miracles for them. But no more walks together....I go sit outside like we used to...that's the closest to 'the old days' and I brush her and she gets special treats. I wish I could make it better for you and Gene but I can only pray you heal and smile when you remember 'the good times'. Bless you both.
ReplyDeleteOh what a wonderful picture of Chance on your mantle. I'm sure this month crawled by for you two, missing your special friend. Have you ever seen that wonderful cartoon-type drawing of Saint Peter at the Golden Gates and this darling dog jumping up and down behind him as the dog spots his owner finally arriving in Heaven? I'm sure Chance is waiting for you in that special place where only the world's finest dogs go!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a lovely painting/picture of Chance. So glad you had it made and now it takes pride of place on the mantel.
ReplyDeleteI miss Chances posts. That's a good idea for a photo. Good memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, Chance! It will always be your day.
ReplyDeleteHandsome Chance, watching over you.
ReplyDeleteI love that canvas photo of chance. That's a perfect place for it. He was special.
ReplyDeleteI was just noticing it's been a month. It doesn't seem like it's been that long...seems like only a few days ago...not sure why. Maybe that's what happens when it's hard to believe someone is gone... Chance was such a treasure.
ReplyDeleteAwwww...it just hurts that they can't live forever. He sounds like a great guy, and the photo is wonderful, but I know you would rather have him back. :(
ReplyDeleteOur dogs have my heart. So many dogs in my life from childhood until now my heart is overflowing with love from them. I love remembering them and wish they were all still here, even though I know it isn't possible.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you guys. I am sure it still hurts.If ours are an indication you will always shed a tear when you think of him.
Aw. It aches, doesn't it?
