Oh Noel. I am so sorry for your loss. He knew it was his time and was telling you goodbye. I'm so glad you got to enjoy the years with your precious Christmas gift. Prayers for your family. :angelmerry:

Yes, I like the year cycle. But I also miss countdown to Mother's Day and Father's Day features they used to have. Seasonal movies make waiting for Christmas easier.

Noel, I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. You were so fortunate to be able to spend so many Christmases together. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We lost a pet this past summer. A cat that I had brought home for the family as a kitten 15 years ago. They definitely become an important member of the family.

I'm sorry to hear this my Christmas friend. Keep trusting in God. He's got your backs.

Oh Noel. This is very sad news. I'm sorry I wasn't around Wednesday or Thursday. You and your family are in my Prayers. I've lost pets in the past, but for me losing a dog is the hardest. They love you so unconditionally. I know he'll be missed by everyone he loved.

What a Christmassy wintery fun weekend! We went for a 3.5 mike snowshoe walk on Saturday and tried cross country skiing for the first time today. It was a blast! But, 3 miles for the first time might have been a bit much! Good times though! I hope everyone else had a good time. Only 1 more week of work then we are off to Las Vegas, Utah, and Arizona for about a week and a half. I have never been, so I am looking forward to it.

Merry Monday Christmas! I hope my Christmas friends had a great weekend. The cruise was great. Funny, we have no snow now............not much of a Troll WINTER. I think the only snow we will see is Ice Age and Frozen on tv. The next cruise is already booked for my birthday and the end of the first round of student evaluations, Woohoo! :elfgrin:
