I don't think I'd find it easy to change it but then I don't think I'd find it easy to lay in it without breaking down.

And yet, I’d have to agree with your mom: a new bed will do wonders for you physically. Letting go is hard though. <br />~ Love and blessings.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-32974384995878549502011-07-16T23:20:08.005-04:002011-07-16T23:20:08.005-04:00I love both your photos of Erin - so sweet!

It is true that it is hard to move on and let go of the comfort of the things that you shared with Erin. It is baby steps..and you need to take them when it is right for you..only then will the release be bittersweet as opposed to heart wrenching. I know Erin is with you...and would probably love the new bed, to hop into and snuggle with you. Now that she is in spirit she no longer has the encumbrances of her physical body. Her Heart, Your Heart...forever joined. Her tail wagging as the new bed arrives, waiting for that opportunity of pillow and cover to be called....Always...ravenmythhttp://ravenmyth.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-32487145422047808632011-07-15T20:47:04.324-04:002011-07-15T20:47:04.324-04:00What beautiful photos!

We've had big thunderstorms this week. Nights she normally sleeps on her bed in the laindry, but thunder scares her. So she ends up sleeping on my feet under the computer table or beside me in bed but on the carpet.<br />I have to be her protector.<br />She repays me with company everyday at my workshop.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-61061937345956506392011-07-15T15:25:58.809-04:002011-07-15T15:25:58.809-04:00@Jyoti Thanks for coming by and reading about Eri...@Jyoti Thanks for coming by and reading about Erin, sure she is looking down from above and smiling at all her friends from afar. <br /><br />@Laurel Good luck with the therapy dog test, it was so rewarding for Erin and myself.

I know Erin touched many lives as a therapy dog, and now she continues to touch others through the blog. It is so hard to let go of any objects they are connected with, especially toys and beds, but I believe Erin would want you to sleep comfortably. My springers always go for the most comfy place they can find! A favorite quote that comes to mind is "Dogs lives are so short; their only fault, really." But they live on in our hearts.<br />Laurel, celebrating the love of dogs at http://laurelhuntbooks.com<br />Bark Wag LoveLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833117290583661605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-47848911139021470172011-07-15T05:03:26.977-04:002011-07-15T05:03:26.977-04:00As I always say reading about erin brings a smile ...As I always say reading about erin brings a smile on my face : <br />As I am still smiling.. <br /><br />I just love to keep coming bck here !!<br />Keep writing. <br /><br />Love to erin and to u !!!!<br /><br />Regards..Jyoti Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794675170127168298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485999984747211900.post-10428110007365648682011-07-14T18:08:44.032-04:002011-07-14T18:08:44.032-04:00@Ivy Thanks for stopping by, so glad you found yo...@Ivy Thanks for stopping by, so glad you found your way here!!
