nsma inspired me to replace the greendog with a realdog - Sonya, the finest pooch there was.

1. great web tribute

It has been a kind of rough week for me, I had to put one of our ferrets to sleep and I must say reading your story really got me a bit choked up. It is a great tribute to what seems like a super dog. I need to do some like that for my lost companions. Again great pooch :)

3. thanks.

Sorry to hear about your ferret - I've never had one, but they've always seemed like interesting, funny animals.

Brings back a lot of memories to think about the dog. She really did keep me going through iffy times. Still makes me choke up a little too, and it's been almost four years...

I'm working on digitizing some pics so maybe I can post a few here of the whole ferret, dog and bird clan here in the household. Thanks again for the kind words :grouphug:

6. sweet Sonya,

very touching John, i get choked up every time.

i went searching a while back for the Sonya/Pet thread (it was the anniversary of her passing i believe) that you had started on DU1. It was beautiful.

peace, friend :hug:

7. Awwww..the very first time I ever saw your site, I read

Sonya's story...I love the new avatar...you can just sy "the alien" inspired it.

That's nice though...I inspired venom in another thread...maybe that guy will get a snake for an avatar. :nuke:

BTW..it's almost like she's EYEING the people that respond to you! :D

10. indeed.

In the best of all possible worlds, dogs don't die. Since this isn't that world, we take forward what we can.
