Goodbye My Love Goodbye

Uploaded: September 14, 2009

Description

R.I.P Teena 26/10/2002 -5/9/2009 (not seven years of age). Taken too soon.

I used the smudge brush in CS4 on Teena's fur. It is an old portrait of one of her favorite poses. ~Pat

A sweet tribute to your lovely Teena. I lost my cat Boo in June, and it's so hard to get over it. #7940974

Very touching tribute, Pat. Been through this too many times, and it's never any less difficult. #7940977

Beautiful tribute to Teena Pat, is it the photo you used when I lost Fudge? I am so sorry to hear yu lost Teena, it is far too young. As you know we have been here many times too and it is never any easier.. Thinking of you #7941030

Dear Carolyn, my sympathies for your cat Boo, so very sad to lose a pet.

As you say it is so hard to get over it, so very hard.... I don't think I ever will. ~Pat #7943697

Thank you Michelle! My husband thought Teena's tribute touching also. I hope to put a few of them up to work the pain from me. ~Pat

Thank you Audrey and Ray, this is similar to the shot that was used in the 'tribute to Fudge'. It was taken the same series.

So tragic, I would never have believed I'd be writing and obituary for Teena, not now, far too soon.

I want to scream to the Heavens to send her back, a mistake has been made!

I'm in a private hospital at present so I can cope from it all. ~Pat #7943723

Thank you Tess, Chris and Joy, ~Patx #7943804

Sooooo precious, Pat! I'm so glad you have this wonderful image to remember her by. My Jack Russell, Skye, has such similar expressions. Hugs and prayers for you, Pat. #7974155

Graham Robards September 24, 2009

Thank you so much Jean!

I am trying to work the stress off, this way is good. The words of the music say how I feel.

Thank you for your prayers!

hugs

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer October 26, 2009

I just went through your gallery, Pat and Graham and I was so enchanted by all the wonderful images here.
I see you love dogs. So do I.
And I am SO sorry to read that this awesome little being is not with you anymore.
I lost my favorite dog (a Samojed) for more than 15 years ago and I'm still not over her. Amazing how these animals can grab you, huh!
How much fun and love beautiful Teena and you must have shared.
This is one shot I'll never forget. Awesome pose.
What a charmer!!! #8072983

Graham Robards October 26, 2009

Thank you so very much for your kind words Kiki! We are so glad you like our gallery, thank you!

We do love dogs with all our hearts, it is so amzing how these dogs can grab you! Teena was only six years of age when she died, so very sad.

My old dog Bo who is fifteen was operated on for a malignant tumour when she died. I always thought he would go first but it wasn't to be.

Teena and I shared so much fun and love. Thank you again Kiki for your kind words, a dog love would understand the grief we feel.

Such a cute little dog, I am so sorry for your loss. I know it is so hard when a pet dies and doubly so when they were not given the chance to live a long life. #8376298
