  2. I am so sorry that Pheebs has passed away. I remember that someone once asked Billy Graham (evangelist) if he thought his dog went to heaven when he died, and Mr Graham answered "If God thinks you will need your dog to be happy in Heaven, yes, your dog will be there waiting for you when you arrive"

  7. Ah, that sweet, loving Pheebs. I don't know if you believe or not, but when Laser passed not long after Dave, the only consolation was that they were with each other (along with a bunch of other doggies) waiting for me to show up. Hugs to you; I'm so very sorry.

  13. Al. I am crying. I have been here before. Other beloved dogs. Pheebs wasn't my dog, but YES SHE WAS!
    She was so much a part of your life. And your life has been part of mine--- since way back before we even met Pheebs! I am so sorry. We all know that you and Kelly gave her the best life any dog ever had. She was happy and loved. Knowing that might give you just a little consolation. We here send you our love.

  16. Oh Al, I'm so very glad Pheebs went for a car ride with you the other day. She probably knew it was her last ride, so she went. My heart is broken for you, so much loss in so short a time. Cry ... it will help. And look at those loving photos every day. You're a lucky man to have such wonderful memories; many people do not. But wonderful memories come after pain. Kelly now has Pheebs at her side, together again. And for that I'm glad. Hugs to you, always. Barb M.

  30. I am so sorry to hear about Pheebs. Losing a beloved pet is one of the hardest things we go through, and my heart goes out to you. The bond you shared is clear, and while she may have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I hope you find comfort in the countless precious memories you both created. Pheebs will forever hold a special place in your heart.

  31. So very sorry Pheebs has left you...tis only temporary...try to focus on that. A dear rabbi friend and I were talking about our last stupendous dog who died in 2010 and how we hoped to be with her in the next life. He replied, "Why not? Life does not end here." We believe it to be so!! So sorry you have this loss on top of so very recently loosing Kelly too!! We so enjoyed what you shared about Pheebs too!!

  37. As hard as it is to lose those we love, it is equally hard to watch them suffer as they move toward death. They are at peace now, Al, and I hope you can find peace now too.

  39. Sweet Pheebs has gone to join Kelly, Checkers, Max, Cora, & all your other doggies. She hung in as long as she could to help you thru the most immediate grief of losing Kelly. I really loved the photos of Pheebs yesterday on your last car ride together - especially eating her little bowl of ice cream. Such beautiful memories.

  45. I am so so sorry for this terrible loss, Al. Just too much. I can only imagine how painful this must be for you. Just too much in such a short time. I am grateful you have a friend to help you weather the pain, even though I know full well it takes years for it to even begin to heal. Pheebs was such a treasure, for you, for Kelly, for all of us who followed along when you first found her. Much love from Sue and Mo

  60. I remember when you got Miss Pheebs after Checkers passed away. You weren't quite sure, yet she stole your hearts and fit right in. Our pets are family in every sense of the word and we feel their passing just as we would feel the passing of any loved one. We shall miss your photos of her and her memory shall remain with those who loved the stories of her. Sweet sleep Miss Pheebs.
