Discerning

I love Sol.

Thanks for another wonderful story and picture about precious Sol! We all miss her.  Sol always reminded me so much of my late Ellie.  I always thought they could be long lost sisters, they were so alike.  After Ellie passed, it was so nice to read blogs about Sol because it would remind me of something Ellie did or of Ellie’s personality.   I’m sure they met up at the Rainbow bridge.  Sorry…got all mushy today:)

What a cutie! I miss the Sol stories. Great idea to use the ones stored in your book!

To Abbey’s mother,
  I am so sorry you are having problems with Abbey.  My Toby is my 5th pug and have 4 at the rainbow bridge. A couple of years ago, my Abbey was 14 and having problems. When i spoke to the vet, he said that i would know when it was time but not to be in a hurry. Later that week-end, my Abbey went to the rainbow bridge on her own. She knew I didn’t want to make the decision so she did it for me. Take your time. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

You know, every time I see a black pugger, including my Otis, I always think of Sol and her sunny disposition.  What a sweet angel she was.  We should all be so gifted with such a sunny outlook on life!

Oh, Miss Solsey!!!  How I miss you!  Obviously, you are alive and well in our hearts and minds…It was lovely and bittersweet to see your smiling face this morning.  You are loved!

sue s-I just had to comment on your post.  I have also heard that animals have no soul and therefore would not be in Heaven…I agree that’s wrong!  Anyone that loves a pet knows their soul runs deep and they belong in Heaven right beside us!  I firmly believe that and refuse to believe any other way!

I forgot to comment on Sol’s discerning taste.  She was such a character!  It just goes to show that as we get older, we develop a taste for the good stuff…Solsey knew what she liked and didn’t sway!  What a gal!!

Karen B - No soul?!?!?!?!?!  AH, that just kills my heart.  Anyone that thinks that has to be missing a brain.  My boys have more soul than any person I have ever known!  (More intelligence than most too…LOL)

I also would like to make a comment about pets not having souls I think they do go to heaven and they have one of the deepest love for there humans then anything

Coming upon that picture of Solsey was breathtaking and that story so wonderful to read about.  What a “giggle”.  I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.  Thank you for sharing it with all of us who miss Sol so much.  I can only imagine how you feel Corrine, rather bittersweet with your memories.

Oh, how we miss you sweet Sol and are thankful for knowing your sweet spirit.

Sol, beautiful girl, I miss you so much, and I have been thinking about you every day as I watch my Abby with her struggles.  You are sorely missed, and it was very touching to see this story about you today.  I have also kept a journal of sorts related to all of my Abby’s antics, and adventures.  It is comforting to know they will still be there, when Abby gets to the rainbow bridge. 

I had 2 very long talks with the vet today, we were speculating at lots of reasons as to why Abby is not bouncing back too much this time.  It seems that more things were seen on her chest/neck xray than they originally told me, that she might have pneumonia and that the doxycycline is not the right med to be on for that.  And, also that although her heart looks the right size, there is a vessel or something near it or her lungs that doesn’t look right at all, she was thinking possibly pulmonary hypertension or something. 

I finally said, we’ll just come in tomorrow for an appointment, to see the vet that will be there tomorrow.  All of the speculating over the phone was not doing me any good at all.  We will be seeing the vet that just took over the clinic, who has a lot of background working at the animal emergency clinic here, and with critical care at the vet school, so it sounds like Abby will be in good hands.  Please say your prayers:-)

Pug Mama, again I say have faith.  Abby sounds like her quality is good, she just needs to get through whatever is ailing her.  Prayers and hugs. 

All of us will be waiting to hear from you again.

Pug mama - I can see a lot of promise in the information the vet’s office was giving you once Abby gets on the right track.  I can visualize your questions being answered in a positive way once you get together with the vet today.  Please keep us informed, we are truly anxious as well.  If you are like me, it is harder to not know and try to deal with a horrendous problem rather than to know and try to deal with it…if that makes any sense.  I know what I mean but I am probably not explaining it very well.  Maybe you can get the jist of it however.  We are all so concerned for you and for Abby.  Use the strength of that commonality to help you at this time.

Pug Hugs,
Huckle & the Swamp Pugs

Oh My..I still cry everytime I see a picture of sweet Sol. How she touched all of us. What a special life she shared with so many.
When I get to the rainbow bridge I plan to meet up with all my four legged frinds and dance across the bridge with them and my precious loved onss will be laughing thier biggest laughs when we dance inside heaven.

A a pastor and pet lover, I am looking forward to that very day!Pug-hugs to all from the Colorado 5
