As you know, we have now have had 2 miscarriages in the last 5 months. Grief, is becoming all too common in our hearts. Yes, it is hard....a friend, Karen, sent me these words today that are so fitting to how hard it is --- The longtime friendship with your pet coming to an end and the promise of a new life coming to a close.
We do KNOW that God IS in control....and somehow all of this grief will turn into not only joy for us, but will bring GLORY to God.
I will tell Dustie's story, as it is actually one of hope AND love! So check back....but for now, here are a few pictures of our Dustie who was only allowed 8 short years in our lives, but forever in our hearts...Farewell my furry friend....farewell......
~~~Dustie~~~ June 30,2001 - January 19,2009~~~
Below, is my favorite picture of Dustie, more about his story later. He had only been rescued and in our home for a few days in this picture....I think he KNEW this was home!

Oh my heart aches for you! I wish there was something I can do. I am sorry dear friend. I hope it helps to remember BLESSED ARE THEY WHO MOURN FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED. I pray for healing and comfort to be with you now! Gentle HUGS!
Hi Melissa! Dusty was beautiful! I am so sorry you lost him.
I can also relate on the miscarriages. I too, have suffered them. I am 33, and my DS is 13. After DS was born, I suffered two devastating miscarriages in the years that followed. After the second one, I decided not to try any more. It was what was best for me. I have such respect for women who have the strength to persevere and try and try. That was not something I could do. I couldn't put myself and my family through that pain anymore. That was what was right for me, anyway. I find now, that the Lord knew MANY years before I did, that I was only meant to have one child. I never would have believed it at the time, but He knew me better than I knew myself at that young age, and one child is enough for me to handle! I have nieces and nephews, and daycare kids, that fill a certain spot in my heart, and I have never been sorry of my decision. I hope I have not brought you down telling you all this, I just wanted you to know you are not alone, and if you ever need to talk, email me!
Hugs, Kerilou SCS
