And
I am sharing with you all some of the messages of love and support I received at Ginger's passing ... I have removed last names to protect privacy ...
==========================
((Oh Marylou)) I'm sorry to hear the sad news. My heartbreaks for you and your husband. Sadie will be there for Ginger together they can discover this new place. I think G inger will send you a sign that she is peaceful and knows how you were there gor and loved her.
Sincerely,
LisaY and Angel Sadie

Hi Mary Lou,
I had a feeling she was not going to make it through the night. She did have so many
extra wonderfully good days since the initial diagnosis. It really did not sound as
if she suffered at the end. She just sounded ready to go chasing rabbits over the
rainbow bridge.
I am sure there will be many tears shed along with yours at her passing.
I was thinking how she sort of just appeared for you and refused to leave. It truly
seems there was a reason for the time she spent with you and touched all of our
hearts through the link of the Internet.

Mary Lou,
I'm so very very sorry for your loss. You did so much for your girl. She
had a much better life because of you.
Please take very good care of yourself.

I have followed this journey without posting, as I had very mixed feelings. Having
worked for a vet for a very long time, and being in tune with pets, I knew that
Ginger was only hanging on for you. She was giving you what you needed until she was
sure you could understand & cope with her leaving. God has blessed you both.

Mary Lou,
I am so sorry Ginger is gone. I know how much it hurts, and I know that you can
second guess your choices so easily. Ginger was a fighter, and you had to give her a
chance. I'm glad she is at peace, but I just wish it was still on this earth with
you.
Feel free to join us on the Angel's board if you like.
With Sympathy....

I am so sorry Mary Lou that your valiant free spirit lost her battle. I
shall light a candle at home tonight in her honor and ask my beloveds who
have gone to the Bridge before me, to welcome Ginger and make her feel at
home in the green pastures and rolling hills where she will once again run
and dance with her ears flying in the wind until you meet again.
You and hubby and your pack will be in my thoughts and prayers as you adjust
to your loss.
Beryl

I am torn between feeling sorry that Ginger is gone and feeling happy that she is no
longer in pain..may the Lord's love and peace wrap around you and your family as you
mourn her passing and celebrate her life and spirit....
Francine
====
Mary Lou,
I am so sorry of the red ears flying girls passing. I
was afraid of the outcome however God called her home.
There is a time to pray and a time God's will be done.
So now she is not suffering and enjoying herself at the
Rainbow Bridge. This will be the hard part the missing
and void left however hang in there and comfort the
remaining fur friends you have with you. We will be here
for you. Take care look for the sunset she will send
letting you know she has passed safety.
God Bless,
Sheila

I have been reading your saga without comment but worrying and praying for you. I
weep for you now. My husband and I had to make the decision on our English pointer
hunter, Jack, in February. As he was going to his rest in my arms, I, too envisioned
him running, ears flying behind him, hunting like he hadn't been able to do in over a
year!. We wept and still do, and look for him around the corner everytime we drive
into the drive.
What gifts God has given to us in our dogs.! They teach us to really love. We have
just put all our love into our other dog, Katie.
I wish for you a peaceful heart.
Kathy and Katie.

Hi Mary-lou,
My heart breaks for you. But know you and Ginger touched all our lives and made them
that much more special.
Love and prayers,
Joanne & the boys
====
Mary Lou,
I believe -- completely without proof, but I believe it anyway -- that
what you see in your heart may be just as real as the "real" that you
see with your eyes. She's not gone, she just decided to vacate the
sack of meat that wasn't working out for her any more. But I suspect
she'll still be out for her morning runs with you every day, and that
she'll cherish the treats that continue to come from your heart as
much as she did those that used to come from your hand.
Tom
====
Mary Lou,
I could not feel so deep for your loss as I do right now. You of all of us have
told your story of the fight day on day with out fail your letters poured from you
given soul to all of us here on the net The Dance. There was not a day when all of us
did not see your written words that we all longed to see here that you both were
beating this battle. Ginger is now at peace with all our loved we have lost. I cry
for your hurt now as we all do and I pray that you will find solace and peace to know
Ginger is in a better place we can not give thenm only God can love them all now.
God Bless you and all Peter

I don't write often but have been keeping up to date on Ginger.......I'm so sorry for
your loss take care and take comfort in the fact that she had a good life because of
you.
Sharon and Bob the Dog
====
Mary Lou, Ginger did have a chance to beat the infection and that was the chance you
lovingly gave her. Please, please no regrets, no questioning yourself on any of this.
We don't understand, but we have to believe. Think of all the good times, especially
the last few miracle months. And think of what joy and love you and Ginger have
brought to so many through this ordeal. What a gift Ginger has been.....to all of us!
My sincere condolences and a big ole hug go out to you....and the same to your
husband, too.
Kathy and Boo Boo
====
I'm deeply sorry for your loss. In some ways I'm glad she was able to slip away on
her own. That spared you having to make that choice. But I know you've missed
seeing her one more time. Perhaps that is better too as it will be easier to
remember her shining bright with ears flying as you've described. Know that she is
now free to spread that love and joy far and wide. I know she will be a bright star
at the Rainbow Bridge. Take special care of yourself today... and give each of your
other dogs a kiss from me.
Cricket
====
Mary Lou,
I am so sorry for your loss, but you are right she made the choice and now she is
waiting on the rainbow bridge and is now pain free.
Be glad of the time you had with her and yes she will always be with you in spirit.
Blessings,

To be absent from the body means to be present with God. I can't think of a better
place to be. Ginger is no longer in pain or suffering, but is peacefully resting. She
is whole again!!!! Hope you are at peace and resting also. Be strong!!!!!!!

Mary Lou,
I am so sorry for you. I was hoping against hope but I guess it is for the best, for
Ginger.
I am glad she got to spend the last few years of her life with you.
Bonnie
====
Well done, Mary Lou, on all counts. You did everything she could have wanted, and
listened to your heart and learned your assigned lessons. You are a heroine, to her
and to all the others who watched you through this trial.
I feel your pain, and you are in my prayers. I had asked Tomo to take care of Ginger,
too, and I'm sure he has and will.
Much love,
ginny

.I am so sorry…..crying for you and Ginger…..i feel your pain and truly know what you
mean about the silence….i will keep you both in my prayers….paula and Hershey in

Oh, my, I'm so sorry ML. I know you feel bad that you weren't there at the end, as I
would, thinking that you let her down, but I also know that animals, and people,
sometimes choose when to go, and they usually go when they're alone, even if for a
few minutes. My mother and father both went that way. They waited until we were in
a nearby room and had just walked out, then they left on their own. I believe that's
what Ginger did, for you.
Kathy

Marylou
I am so sorry about Ginger. I have followed each and every post about her days sonce
she became ill. She has given you the most wonderful last three months. Cherish it
and always remeber she loved you oh so much. She is now at peace, no more infections,
no more cancer and is running free in tje wind ATB. God bless you and Ginger and we
will light a candle in honor of her tonight.

Oh, MaryLou, I am so, so sorry for your loss. Your daily posts made Ginger a daily
part of all our lives and we will all miss her. Be kind to yourself now and enjoy the
knowledge that Ginger is running beside you with angel's wings.

I'm so sorry for your loss Mary Lou. You gave her a good life and I know she
loved you with all her heart. My prayers are with you and your family. My
you find comfort in sweet memories and knowing that your darling Ginger is
not suffering.
Kathi

Mary Lou,
I am soooooo sorry for your loss. I just read your e-mail and am literally in tears.
There are no words to describe the feelings of losing a beloved companion who's been
there through thick and thin and has made our life brighter with her happy, lively,
optimistic presence.
My heart goes out to you, Ginger and the rest of the pack. I'm sure that Ginger is
in a better place now, enjoying the fields, nature, wind, etc. without pain,
medications, I.V.'s, vets, etc.
You did everything you could for her physical body, and she knows that.
Even though Ginger may no longer be present physically rest assured that her spirit
lives on and will be with you forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. While no one can take away your pain, we are
all here to support you. And Ginger is too.
Love,
Alexis & Teddy
====
Mary Lou,
I want to tell you to be strong but its hard to see thru the tears coursing down my
face. I'm so so sorry that your beautiful girl did not make it thru the night.
The good Lord must have needed those flying ears, red haired girl to turn on the
'motion lights' there with him. I feel your pain as I too feel that my heart is
broken, she had become such a light of hope to all of us and we had truly enjoyed all
her chronicles. It just was not meant to be and she left this physcial earth
without pain, and knowing that she had a mom and dad that did everything possible for
her and loved - she was loved and adored by so many. She had so many fans and so
many prayers, it was just not meant to be, HE needed her more. So now close your
eyes, see your beautiful red haired girl with the flying ears only this time see
angel wings! She was met by so many other beautiful fur kids. Now there is no
pain, no fever, no meds, just
running free like a young pup.
Mary Lou , you and hubby have devoted so much time and energy into her care that now
you will become numb - God's way of allowing us to handle pain. The rest of the herd
too will be upset. Please be kind to yourself, take plenty of time to grieve
Ginger, you lost a very important family member.
Hugs and prayers to you all,
Pat, Angel Sally & Bo
====
Mary Lou,
All of your dog friends and group list friends know the pain and sorrow you feel
right now. Know that we're with you, and Ginger surely will always be with you. God's
grace be with you.
Donna
====
May you be surrounded with the love she left you, her pawprints will always be
prominent on this earth, she was a brave strong girl that faced her odds with
defiance and love, I pray that you all be at peace while she is running around on the
other side.
My thoughts are with you all today, and may the love that my dogs are sending to you
be felt.
Love, Annette and dogs

MaryLou, so sorry to hear this news this morning. I am praying for you and
your dogs to adjust to this loss.

Dear Mary Lou,
I am sorry for your loss. In a way, through your daily updates, Ginger
became one of ours too, and we grieve with you for her loss.
Sandy
====
So sorry to hear this sad news. I'm so glad to know you have made so many wonderful
memories of her and that the time she had after her diagnosis was quality time. She
is now running free, ears flying on the Playground of Angels. Godspeed sweet Ginger.
Take care Mary Lou~you have been through an awful lot. We will keep all of you in our
prayers.
Lynn and Destiny
====
Dear Mary Lou
i have not been able to post before...but I have been reading your news and praying
for you and Ginger...I am so sad for your loss. And so glad that she slipped away so
peacefully. She and Bridie crossed the bridge so close together. I would love to
think that they are both playing together, free of suffering.
My heart goes out to you
Kathy
====
My condolences to you on the loss of your beloved Ginger.
Time is a funny thing. It's a place, one we're always leaving behind
-- but it's still back there and very real. Take with you the love and
joy as you move forward.
Brad
====
So sorry to hear that she has gone. I had been enjoying the posts you have been
leaving about her and the others. May she enjoy herself on the spirit side and visit
from time to time. May you soon find peace with her decision to part from this side
and keep your heart open.

I am so sorry for your loss, it hurts just as bad when they make the choice for us.
If your love could have healed Ginger she would have lived forever.
Dog bless you and your family.

Mary Lou, we all become close and are family as we battle this monster. But, some
closer than others - I have just felt such a connection with you, your family and
that beautiful girl, Ginger. I truly feel that my heart is broken and can recall
how I felt when my Sally became an Angel, so I know that you are totally devastated.
When you get the diagnosis, you feel the world comes crashing down on you, then when
they become an Angel, you feel that the world totally stops. It has to stop because
you can't stand the pain! I am so sorry and words seem so meaningless in such a
time. But know that Angel Ginger touched so many lives - We all feel she belonged
to us, in just a little bit.
You blogs will be something that you will enjoy reading - later, not now, the pain is
raw. Your pain is gut wrenching raw as it should be. So be kind to yourself, talk
to the herd about her, know she is an Angel watching over her mom and dad. I pray
you will receive signs from her - a rainbow, her hair somewhere it should not be -
just allow yourself to be open to the fact that she will be with you in spirit. And
always, always you carry them in your heart. My Sally's picture graces my desk, not
the grandkids, but Sally. Email me if you need to vent or just cry, whatever.
Hugs
Pat

Mary Lou and Family, I am so sorry to hear about Ginger. I know it is very hard, but
I also do believe that she is healthy again and running free and dancing at the
bridge, with my Buca. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Krista
====
Oh, Dear God....I'm so sorry, Mary Lou. With tears, for your Ginger....and especially
you. She's whole again, as a canine, a beautiful healthy girl. Running & playing hard
at The Bridge while she waits patiently for you, her other half, spiritually &
emotionally.
Godspeed the ache, the deep hurt, and hole in your heart.... Rhonda

Sweet Ginger, you fly with the wind and carry our hearts to the heavens... BD

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing Ginger chose
you and that you did everything a human could to make her short time with you happy
and healthy. You inspire all of us to be that loving. Doris
====
Mary Lou and family, I am so sorry, my heart is aching for all of you. She fought the
good fight. God needed a bright red angel in heaven, so he called her home. Ginger
found the right family when she found you. May you find peace in your memories and in
knowing you did everything you could for Ginger. You showed us what true love and
caring is all about. Jo Ann

=====
Mary Lou.... As I write this, I am shaking and still crying. When I read your post I
just had to run somewhere to scream and cry, and that is just what I did in my barn.
It is like losing one of my own...following Beautiful Ginger's journey each day, and
hoping for a Miracle for her. If my pain is as great as it is, I can only imagine
what yours is. I am so, so very sorry that Ginger had to leave, but even as I cry for
her, I know in my heart that she is running with those beautiful red ears flying,
pain free, and waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge with all our beloved Angels who
went before her. She became a part of my daily ritual...I ALWAYS had to find out how
and what Ginger was doing each day. I feel sure that God was waiting for her, and had
already installed motion lights just for her!!! She was so lucky to have owned you
for her Mom. The LOVE you two shared was so apparent to all of us. She will ALWAYS be
with you..in the whisper of a breeze... in the sound of a birds call...so many ways.
You may even see her when you least expect to.....She will always watch over you, and
you will always feel her sweet presence. Ginger touched so many hearts and lives,
that she will missed so much. My heart goes out to you today, and I will light a
candle in Honor of Sweet, Beautiful Ginger. Take care of yourself...it is what Ginger
would want...SHE IS WATCHING OVER YOU!!
May God Bless You

'ONE DAY AT A TIME'
For Mom.....from Ginger 4/9/2010
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head
In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But, as I turned to heel away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought
That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for,
So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought about our lives together,
I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand,
And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase,
The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.
But, then I fully realized,
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me.
And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through Heaven's gate,
And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me,
From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day,
There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful,
So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But good dogs are forgiven,
And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side,
And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
=======
Dear Mary Lou
I forgot to say
regarding your decision...I'd have done what you did, and indeed I made exactly that
decision last week, when Bridie was so sick, with a fever, and I left her in the
hospital overnight on a drip with antibiotics...She could have gone then. I think
that whichever way they go it is terrible for us. You did everything you could for
her. Whatever choice you had made you would be heartbroken right now.
As you said to me about Bridie, Ginger is in God's arms now.
love from Kathy and Angel Bridie

Although I just read Ginger's story last night, I feel so deeply for your loss, but
also what's wrenching my heart with tenderness is that you are such a blessing in
this world for dogs. I bet Ginger felt and feels nothing but love, joy, and
gratefulness for all your care you gave her. Natalie
====
Mary Lou...with tears streaming, I wish you the saddest condolences on the loss of
your red girl. You certainly did all you could and she knew how much you loved her. I
know you will "see" her, again and again, running with her pack...just like you said.
Take care.
Love,
Amy P. and Hunter
====
Dear Mary Lou,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I would read every post you up up about Ginger and
your family. I shared your joy, fear, and now sorrow and feel that Ginger was
blessed with such a loving and caring mother. I'm sitting here and crying because I
have grown to love Ginger too and will miss your posts about her. She was a
beautiful girl and the image of her ears in the wind while running brings a smile to
such a sad day.
My prayers go out to you and your family.
Michelle
====
Dearest Mary Lou,
I am so sorry. I couldn't read all or reply thru the tears. You & All your loved ones
remain in my prayers. You are a dear heart. I have seen dogs hang on thru horrible
pain for their owners sake, but Ginger knew your love was true for the best for her
too...your kind heart let her know it was okay to be out of whatever pain that was so
much to bare. Like my Grandma, whom I thought was angry or hurt by me~it was just her
eyes coming in and out of consciousness after a stroke~for some time it was like God
allowed a window of her joy and peace and love to comfort and assure me for a time.
Ginger is there letting you know~my beloved I'm okay now+I miss you too~until we meet
again...
Sincerely, Jennie+Shadow

Mary Lou,
I'm am a sobing mess, and I am so sorry for your loss. I've been looking at pictures
of my Angel Kennedy this morning... looking for the good times, and there were many.
Ginger fought hard and was loved deeply.
I hope she likes to play, because Kennedy loves to play and I'm sure greeted Ginger
at the bridge, with a ball or a toy in her mouth, ready to run and play.
I only hope that they don't miss us as much as we miss them, because I don't want
them to ever be sad.

Mary Lou, I'm so very sorry for your loss of Ginger. She fought a good fight with a
loving mom right by her side. She has no more pain and suffering and she's playing at
the feet or our Lord now.

Dear Mary Lou, I'm so sad for your loss of Ginger. It's surprising how quickly she
had become such a familiar part of my life and I can't help but cry at this
heartbreaking news.
She would have been grateful to you for giving her one last chance. Please don't be
too hard on yourself. She went in peace, knowing that she tried her best for you and
for herself.
She will continue to dance, in a beautiful place free from pain. And she will always
live in our memories, running... ears flying.

I wish to express my deepest sympathies to you on this occasion. I understand how
you feel about your lost and how it will affect you. As you have stated she is in a
better place now and can run free in the wind. We also know that Ginger will be here
for you when ever you need her.
Take care

Mary Lou so deeply sorry to hear the news about Ginger. My heart aches with
you. I havent been on pc much these last few months but I want you to know
that I did make it a point to read your updates of Ginger's journey :-). You
are an inspiration to us all Mary Lou. Ginger must have loved you very much
:-)
God Bless you.
Donna

Dearest Mary Lou,
Even when we know something is coming, why is it such a tremendous shock when it
arrives?
You and your husband must be devastated. I'm glad Ginger came in spirit for her
treat and to say goodbye to you. And I'm glad too that Banshee caught that pesky
rabbit for them both.
I don't even know what a chinaberry tree is . . . . . . . but it is forever entwined
with Ginger's name for me. I shall call one of my trees a "Chinaberry Ginger" from
now on, and greet her every morning on our first walk of the day.
Multiple Blessings to you all - and many thanks for sharing this gracious lady's life
with us all here.
I'm so pleased that she made it to the blossoming of the plums.
Always, Leah. xxxxx

I am truly heartbroken----Tears are streaming down my face so I can hardly type. I am
so deeply sorry. Ginger put up a great fight and she knew you and all of us loved,
prayed and lived through her battle with her. She will always be Ginger of the Flying
Ears! Again, I am wholly sorry for the pain you must feel today. Love and prayers to
you, Tom and to your other charges. May they all feel Ginger's spirit and her quiet
dignity. Brenda

Oh, how heavy my heart is right now...I knew when I left here this morning there may
be bad news awaiting when I arrived home. Ginger was such a role model for living
her life in the moment...I am sobbing, it is as if I also lost Ginger today.
MaryLou, I am so very sorry, give my best to your husband, this is very sad, but yes,
I know Ginger is in a better place and free of sickness.
It is raining here today...very appropriate.
Thank you so much for sharing Ginger's journey with us and for giving us hope when we
know this beast usually wins in the end.
God bless you all,
Sandy

Marylou, I am so sorry for your loss. I have been following Gingers journey since you
started to post it, and so wish it had a happier ending. Please remember that you did
everything you possibly could to help her, and more, but at least she will no longer
be in any pain now, as she runs at Rainbow Bridge. You and your family are in my
thoughts and prayers.

Oh my heart broke and the tears poured down when I read this on your blog at work
today. I could not send you any consolation as we have a firewall...and I was so
eager to get in touch with you. People came into my office to see why I was sobbing
and I could hardly articulate my pain....
All I can say is how wonderful of Jesus to quietly tip toe in the vets office and
gently pick her up...and carrying her oh so carefully, like a little lamb ....took
her to Heaven without a whimper or cry. How wonderful that you were spared the ordeal
of the painful euthanasia decision.
Now I envision her with wings to supplement her 'flying ears"......she will indeed be
soaring high in paradise....waiting for the day when she gets to see you again.
May the wonderful 3 months you had with her be of some comfort to you as you begin to
heal from this great loss......I am crying with you.....God bless you.

Dearest MaryLou
Yes, the world is a darker place without her bright loving spirit and yes, she is
dancing with ears flying and the wind her face; her nose tilted to catch the scent of
her new surroundings.
Ginger touched our souls and we were all a part of her family. Your daily blogs
brought us to your world and we shared so very intimately, all that you experienced.
We are going to miss her daily antics and know that she has left a tremendous void in
your lives.
She graciously left this world, on her terms, the way she wanted. You have wonderful
memories and she will always be with you.
Hugs, love and prayers

Mary Lou,
I am so sorry to hear about Ginger. My heart is heavy for you this day....it was so
obvious that you loved Ginger very, very much---and she knew it!!
You will be reunited again one day, until that time...take good care.
My thoughts and prayers are with you on this dark day.

I am so sorry Ginger lost her fight. Your beautiful girl is at peace now. Thank you
for all of your support and encouragement.

Mary Lou:
My heart is with you! And I know for sure that Ginger is running with the angels with
ears a-flying! And her spirit WILL BE right there by your left side , giving you
thanks for your loving care and for helping her really, really live these past three
months on this earth.......and telling you that she'll always be "your sweet red
girl"... She will be by your side, her spirit will warm your heart on cold days , on
lonely days and on tough days. She has completed the earthly part of her journey and
she thanked you for letting her really, really live and then letting her go when her
physical body was spent.
Oh, I do hurt for you , as I've lost dogs many times. Most recently, we lost our cat
Louise this past November.... She was quite old and as the vet in Virginia said as we
picked her up to begin our drive down to SC, "She will be fine for a while, but you
know how fragile she is." We did know, but she came with us and really seemed to
rally here in our South Carolina soil. So, I know how hard it is; our pets are our
family... Thank you Ginger, and thank you Mary Lou , for allowing so many of us along
on your journey. You all slowed us down a bit to "smell the roses" ... and that
was quite a legacy for Ginger.
love and prayers,
Lady

Mary Lou -
I just want to give you a hug. Please know we have all shed some tears
because you and Ginger have fought the good fight. Thank God she went
peacefully in her sleep and is now running on the Rainbow Bridge - just know

Not much to say...words don't help...only time and precious memories. I still tear up
over my dogs I have lost- even my first one that left 20 yrs ago. All I can do is
send hugs and tell you that Ginger is now running free and playing looking over her
shoulder now and then for you. If you watch, you will find that her sprit is still
there. Something odd will happen and you will know. For instance, my one gal who
passed suddenly of an anuerism...we used to walk to the mail box each day, she would
heel up the road and in a certain spot would drop to a down/stay, then soon as I
rejoined her, she would break it and heel again and come home and sit by the bench
out front while I looked through the mail. I could not go to the mail box for weeks
after she passed. When I finally did, I found that it was odd that there was a
butterfly that followed me from the front door and then disappeared where Misty would
normally down/stay...and when I walked back I noticed it was by me again...followed
me to the bench and sat on the bench beside me as i read the mail. This happened
every day for a week- but it took me several days before I realized what it was...it
was Misty's spirit. BTW I probably should mention it was fall and rather cold when
this happened- there was no butterflies other than this one. I smiled when I realized
that and started talking to the butterfly and telling it everything I did not get to
say to Misty before she left. I am sure if the neighbors saw they thought I was
crazy. The last time I saw it I told her thank you for giving me that chance and I
would see her again one day.

Oh Mar - My heart. God it hurts. So much for you. & me, & all of us here & everywhere
who have to watch our sweet, trusting babies be ravished by this damn disease.
Please PLEASE dont 2nd guess yourself. Only YOU knew your girl so well. She led you
to the decision you made. If she had wanted you to let her go the day prior, you
would have felt that as well. I deeply believe that each dog, & person, chooses how &
when they go, in this type of situation. She gave you the gift, like my Kibo did, of
not having to make the decision FOR her. & as much as Im grateful that I was with
Kibo for the end, there are also memories during that time that I could do without.
So either way, there are always regrets, wishes for it to have been somehow
different, etc. To go in your sleep, curled up & medicated so you are peaceful, is a
wonderful way to go to the other side. & as much as I despise this illness, I am
thankful that we all get "warning". Whether it be 1 week, or 3 yrs, before its the
time for our babies, we KNOW its coming, & we can, & we do, fill in time with years &
years of love & dedication & celebrations & goodbyes. As much as I woudlnt wish
canine cancer on anyone or their dog, for ME, its less hurtful than losing them
suddenly with no warning, & no preperation or goodbyes.
She was so beautiful. She IS so beautiful in the fields of Heaven, running, flying
... & I pray, i KNOW, she & Sana & Kibo, & all our other babies, are united together,
until we are all together "there", when our times come as well.
You know you are in all our thoughts. In our heats.
We love you. R~

Mary Lou, my heart is in my throat as I type this. I am so very sad that Ginger

horrible disease. Gussy and I are lighting a candle for you and Ginger tonight and

I am so sorry Mary... my heart breaks with yours... Ginger is now free of that awful

Ginger run free, ears flying , feet barely touching the ground... eyes bright and
tail out...soaring through the fields at Rainbow bridge...

We are all sad for you Mary Lou. But Ginger is at a far better place and not in any
distress. It was good she went peacefully in her sleep. It is easy to tell someone
not to be sad but we both know that is impossible. Our pets are every bit a part of
us as is our children. Ginger will always be a part of your heart and never
forgotten.

Mary Lou:
I have been following your posts on Ginger and miss her already. We lost our
beautiful Lucky girl six weeks ago. She was 14 years old and was in great health
until the last few weeks when she suddenly went downhill and stopped eating. The vet
did bloodwork which came back fine. He was amazed and couldn't really find anything
except the usual arthritis. She just knew that it was her time and her work was
done.
I hope that Ginger visits you in spirit to keep in touch. God bless you for being
such a caring dog mom.

GINGER- a Requiem
A tiny light was taken today, Lord.
A light which shown so bright.
A tiny being in this vast universe
was taken, Lord.
This tiny light was joy and hope and endearing
friendship.
This tiny light which was felt far and wide,
This tiny light, Lord, you wanted home.
You took this tiny light so she wouldn't suffer anymore.
This tiny light will be sorely missed for she really didn't know how brightly she
shown.
She lit up hearts, she put smiles on even the hardest faces.
This tiny light, Lord, is with You now.
Let her continue to shine up there, Lord.
This tiny light that shown so bright.

Dear Mary Lou and Family,
There are really no words that I can say that will ease the pain you feel at this
time. Ginger was a warrior in her dance.. She taught everyone to take each day and
live life in the moment. She showed us all what true courage is meant to be. I will
always remember Ginger as the girl who happily flew down the hills, ears flying and
her red coat gleaming in the sun. The girl who set off motion sensors to light up
the darkness in our world.
The love that you gave Ginger was returned a thousand fold even to those that have
never stroked her soft fur. She brought joy and happiness to all that have followed
her journey. I refuse to believe that cancer was victory because Ginger story lives
on in our hearts. Though Ginger's earthly journey has ended I will celebrate her
life and all that she has taught us.
I believe that the emptiness in our souls from the loss of our loved ones is filled
with
the many wonderful memories and love we shared. Our tears are the healing that seals
them in so they are forever a part of us. When our earthly journey comes to an end
then we are once again reunited with our beloved furry companions at the Rainbow
Bridge, so we can make the final journey into heaven together.
I know that Ginger's journey to the rainbow bridge was brightly illuminated by the
love of her family and all those whose lives she touched. We are lighting the
remembrance candle in honor of Ginger. The special treats have been given in
celebration of her life here on earth.
The gang is sending Heart Comforting Drool and all are in our prayers.
Run free Sweet Ginger. We will remember you.

Mary is right...there are no words...
I have lost 2 dogs in my life and would never wish that pain on anyone...
We still love them so much, we will always have another friend at our side
although
we know inevitably we will suffer loss yet again.
I honestly believe that life here is not complete for us without knowing the
true love of a dog.
I feel your pain and grieve with you, but also like many others, feel relief
for Ginger too.
My baby girl, Anni, died in my arms and I am happy I was there to comfort
her as she left this world.
May you have peace during this time and still fully enjoy your other dogs.

Mary Lou,
I am so distraught to read this. Your Ginger had a special place in my heart. We had
a beautiful red dog named Ginger who was mom to our Bear (who we lost to this
horrible disease in Feb.) I have been following the list still to keep up with Ginger
and a few others I have been praying for. I know she has met our Ginger and Bear at
the Bridge. Bear and Sugar's daddy was a beautiful Irish Setter that we still see
around our neighborhood every day. We also have a "pack". We still have CoCoa, Shy
Ann and Sugar (all Bear's sisters) and 2 new pups. Every time we go for our evening
run around the property with the 4 wheeler, I miss Bear running along, jumping in the
pond and swimming across.
We will see them all again someday. I know that in my heart, as I know that you know
it in yours.
I sit here crying as I type, HATING this horrible horrible disease, asking why and
knowing there is a plan somehow. One day we will know and understand.
They truly do leave "paw prints on our heart"
Prayers are being lifted for you and your family and pups. You were a wonderful mom
to Ginger and she knew how loved she was.

Dear Mary Lou,
I have read every insert you have written. I have prayed for Ginger since the
inception of her illness.
What gives us hope is that I know and maybe you do too, that Ginger will be waiting
in heaven for you.
I know my 17 year old golden Charlie will be there, along with my parents. Every
thing we desire will be there.
Some say dogs don't have a soul, but there surely is a spirit. We humans were
designated "caretakers of the animals".
Please accept my deepest sympathies because I have been where you are. It does get
easier, but when the memories come back I still cry. And that is ok
Warmest Regards

Mary Lou,
A favorite poem, for you:
i carry your heart with me
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Mary Lou, I'm sorry for my delay in responding. I had a minor surgical procedure
yesterday and was not around e-mail. And then I got on this morning and was so sad
to read your post. My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your sweet Ginger.
Never feel guilt for the decisions you made, I think Ginger decided the best thing to
do was to not make you have to make that decision and to go on her own. As I know
you believe, Ginger is now dancing and running with all those angels that have gone
before her. And, in spirit, she will always be with you. You were a wonderful mom
to her - giving her the chance at life and fighting alongside her every step of the
way. I do hope the memories you have will provide you some comfort during this
difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always.....

Dear Mary Lou,
I know it is heart breaking and I for sure do not have the right words to make your
suffering easier. Just know that I am sitting here in tears thinking of your lovely
darling. She did fight hard and now she is at ease.
You mentioned that you thought she was sitting there next to you waiting for her
treat and I know she was.
I connected with her via Reiki and she wants you to know that she is now pain free
and would like to stick around for a few more days before she will move on. She met a
few of my dogs which have passed on and they will guide her, so she is in good hands.
She told me she loves car rides and there is a man in the picture, maybe you can make
more out of it than I can.
She sends you all her love.

Ginger's whole journey has been such a roller coaster ride. She was doing so good for awhile. I certainly feel for you and your husband, as I know all of us animal
lovers do, as all of us who have shared the heartbreaking experience of losing a

I'm so sorry, Mary Lou. I pray to God to give you the strength and comfort that only He can give.
Please take care. Mary
