Your post was a wonderful tribute to her and brought me to tears. What really resonated with me was the part about having time with those you love. No matter how short or long it may be, all we can do is live in the moment and cherish every minute of our time together. Our losses are different, but my heart aches with yours. Sending love, strength and healing your way.

She created a lot of happiness in my life, and I'll remember the lessons I learned from her. A few that easily come to mind: 1) Greet your friends and loved ones with total gusto and affection. Do this everytime you see them, no exceptions. They will adore you even more for this behavior. 2) If there's good food around (and of course there is when you live in SF, with Samantha!), some of it should be yours. Be patient, stay close, act quickly when needed. 3) Keep smiling! Really, just walk around with a simple grin on your face. Happiness is truly contagious, charming... and keeps your coat soft. <br />I'll miss you dearly Frannie. S & D, love you guys.

I've been there, and I'll tell you: I'm certainly no softie, but this brought tears to my eyes. I hate that you lost such a good dog, but am so happy for you that you got so many good years with her.

But reading your words made me see her frolicking around San Francisco, even though I've never got the chance to meet her, and I could see how much happiness she brought to you and your husband, and the rest of your extended family. I can tell she brought so much to you, and I know her memory and adventures will live on here, on this blog, and in your heart.Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778802865313625485.post-55222097077544974852011-01-26T18:18:23.315-08:002011-01-26T18:18:23.315-08:00I can remember you writing your wish list to Santa...I can remember you writing your wish list to Santa each year: "#1) Pony #2) Dog #3) Hamster". Mom and Dad could never get past #3, but when you were 22, you fulfilled your own wish.
