What an amazing tribute to your boy!
I can't believe it's been a year.
Sending lots of hugs and love to you.

I've never lost a bully yet. I have came close though, so I can imagine how you feel. I love this what you wrote ..."NO dog can replace another, your heart just expands" I know that when by babies go to the rainbow bridge my heart will shrink and I only hope t will be able to expand like yours.

:sorry:Tracey my heart and tears go out to you today, I can't believe it's been a year already. I agree that another dog never replaces one that has crossed the bridge, but that our hearts can love another, we never forget our fur babies that have left, but they are with us forever in our hearts. They leave a paw print on our hearts, and take a piece of our hearts with them. Thinking of you and your family today, sending love, hugs and prayers your way that you can remember sweet Winston today with more smiles than tears. :angelheart::angelhug:

We are all here for you, and we all miss and grieve Winston along with you today.

I remember that day like it was yesterday...Phil texted me that Winston passed and it was all so surreal and unbelievable! I remember telling him no way Tracey posted the procedure went well! I can't believe it's been a year already. My heart still breaks for you when I think of that day! On the bright side...Wally came into your life and he is keeping you on your toes now that's for sure!

I can't believe it's been a year. I've been so focused on Steve Slocum today. Today was 2 years since his passing....I'd totally forgotten about Winston.

Hugs to you Tracey.

I know the pain of your loss and I still grieve on the anniversary of the passing of both of my sweet boys. Just typing this makes me cry.
Take comfort that you gave him the best life possible and that he is over the bridge playing and happy with all his bulldog buddies

[MENTION=9157]ddnene[/MENTION] I cannot believe that has been a year already, I myself think of Winston all the time, it really broke everyone's heart when it happened. The words you wrote were so beautiful and perfectly said. Hugs to you and your family xxx

@ddnene, this is the quotation that gives me peace whenever I think of my precious dogs that are no longer with us. The other day I found some of Trixie's old toys under the armoire in my bedroom and sat and cried. So I know how painful and raw this still is for you. :daisy:Wallygator was truly a gift from Winston for you to mend your heart.

"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." - Anonymous
