I am so proud of you. I wish I could have been there for icecream also --I only like vanilla in a cone. I love swimming in the lake -- last night I went out a little to deep and my daddy had to come in and drag me out - I didn't cry and he wasn't mad -- he just was pretty wet. You be careful when you are swimming. I hope you can come and swim in my lake someday soon. Bye.

I too believe one day we'll think more often about all the great years we've had and the sting of the loss will fade. <br /><br />Delwyn, Colton means "strength" and is derived from Old English and also means "one who works with horses." At the time we were searching for names, Colton wasn't very popular and that also appealed to us... it is gaining in popularity however. <br /><br />Robin, I am so glad we got away for awhile, we felt unburdened from our grief at least momentarily. <br /><br />Stephanie, thank you for sharing that story with me :) I'd love to see photos sometime... it sounds like a great post! I have a measuring cup that Kota chewed the handle off of when she was a pup and I feel the same way about it :) Thank you for your compassion :)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595982706357639001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-56715857793826614222009-08-13T08:17:47.015-05:002009-08-13T08:17:47.015-05:00Awesome job Colton!!!!! and great pictures!
Vicky...Awesome job Colton!!!!! and great pictures!<br /><br />Vicky I have to tell you...it took me forever to be able to start function again after my dog died. To this day I still have the trashcan that my parents had when I was a child. It is a wooden trash can with a lift top and it was in our house growing up. When my dog was a puppy he'd scatch and bite at the bottom of it and for that reason it had to be mine...it was alittle of him in my house and my heart where I missed him so greatly. A few months ago the trashcan started falling apart and I started crying...I had my dad take it home and repair it..pieces had to be replaced and it had to fixed...two pieces remained though never to be touched by stain,a nail or a hammer...the two pieces that had his marks all over them. <br /><br />I have another dog now but he'll never be like the one I had growing up. I have always said that you can get more dogs and you'll love them and care for them but there will always be that place in your heart for your Dakota!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873029956740258055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-9434189867314833222009-08-13T07:21:05.931-05:002009-08-13T07:21:05.931-05:00Hello Vicky

...Bravo Colton! What lovely family photographs. <br /><br />It will take time to not feel the wrench in your gut after losing a dear pet. (After ours died, I used to wail, moan and groan in the shower . . .) But with time you settle into recalling all the sweet moments with your pet and not the loss.<br /><br />I read a quote and cannot recall the source but it said something like: Those who do not have time to mourn, do not have time to heal.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.com
