Nothing But Norman #152 Gone 3 Years

Happy Saturday All!

Nothing But Norman

Today is bittersweet as I say Happy 16th Birthday to my Angel Norman. On November, 3rd he would of turned 16. How I wish he was here today. On November 6th 2013 we said goodbye to our Norman. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of him and remember how much he meant to me. Every now and then he will come to me in his dreams in which I am ever so thankful for. He is always with me in spirit. Here are some of the photos I took on our last  walk at my favorite place. I still have all these photos from this day on my background, they rotate each day. I can’t bring myself to change out the pictures yet even know it’s been 3 years.

A TIME TO REMEMBER —————— They come into our lives for such a short time a time we wouldn’t trade not even for a dime Then before you know it the years have flown by and then all of the sudden we’re saying good-bye

It wasn’t that long ago we said our good-byes we held on to you tight as you closed your eyes Your spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove into God’s loving arm’s; in heaven above

Over the days we’ve shed many tears but the memories we have will live on for years We feel your presence and we know that your near you’re keeping us safe and calming our fear

We think about memories from years past when you were young and strong and ran so fast we remember all the great times that we all had how you always made us happy never made us mad

They were the best and happiest years we had we’ll always look back on them and never be sad We 6look forward to the time we’ll be together again and we thank the Lord for such a great friend

Now you run and play up in Heaven above cradled in God’s arms covered with his love Playing by the Bridge waiting for the day we come down thru the meadow to the bridge to stay

The love that you showed us we’ll never forget because to us you’re one very special pet You’re like a star in the dark of night always watching over us with the Lord’s light

So now we take time to remember our best friend who will always be with us even to the end We’ll always remember you the way you were one big lovable huggable pile of fur

This week my pal I work with at Harmony said goodbye to her soulmate Cyrus. I’ve known Cyrus since she adopted him from the WI Rottie Rescue. He was a rescue Rottie that came along way with the help of Teresa. She trained Cyrus to pull carts, do agility and lure coursing, become a therapy dog and so much more. They even received titles in those venues, so it shows that in the right home, lots of love, patience and guidance a rescue dog can excel even when you don’t know what their up bringing was. Teresa you have Cyrus the best life possible and he made differences in so many people’s lives. I’ll miss seeing him each time I work at Harmony, it won’t be the same without him. He is shining down from above looking out for you now. Peace pal.

    It just doesn’t seem possible that its been 3 years. Sending you love and hugs every day because I know how you feel.

    14 years later, I still think of my sweet boy McKenzie as well as the OES’s. Not a day goes by I don’t cherish and miss my fur-angels. I wasn’t blogging when you lost Norman so I didn’t get to know him until after he crossed the bridge, but from what I’ve read, he was an amazing dog. His memory lives on in your posts and pics. My condolences being sent about Cyrus. We suddenly lost one of our well-loved pet therapy pups this week too. We are so impacted by these losses and tears at the loss and smiles for the work they did are somewhat incongruent in our collective hearts. Thoughts and prayers. ღ

    Big hugs. We never get over these losses, it gets easier, but the pain never goes away completely. Reading everyone’s comments here along with your post and those wonderful pictures of Norman brings tears. I also can still cry over losses far longer ago than that – 17 years for our Shelby and 12 years for Maggie. We never stop missing them.
