Today I said goodbye to my little Yorkshire Terrier "Gizmo". He came in our animal shelter in december of 2000 as a stray dog. He was seriously underweight, had no skin left on his back, and his teeth were rotting in his mouth. It was decided that we should put him to sleep, as the vet found him 10years of age, and no-one would adopt him.
Instead I took him home, and with a lot of TLC, and some surgery on his teeth, he became a beaty of a dog in less than 6 months. I thought that we would have him for 4 weeks, it became 4 years ;-)
I used him as a petting dog, when our group of volenteers visit the elderly and demented in an old age home. He loved that kind of work, and was always gentle with those seniors.
I'll miss you, my little friend ...
Barbara, I know that this could be considered a MM image, and I'll move it to there if you want me to.
Also, even if you should like this image, please DO NOT VOTE for it, it's just a simple farewell...

Lament vastly the loss of their mascot, without a doubt they are a member but of the family, sensitive people take him a lot of affection, think you that this mascot was next to you giving them love during fourteen years, if we keep in mind that a year of a mascot like this they represent 7 of our years, they represent 98 years in the life of anyone of us. I find this a very tender and moving homage my friend. =)
Dirk I feel so very sorry to read you lost one of your friends Gizmo,I think I know the feeling because of losing 3 dog friends of my own.Just want to let you know my thoughts are with you and your family,a star will shine on heaven for Gizmo to remember him,heel heel veel sterkte de komende tijd.
Beautiful dedication to a dedicated part of your family !!!! I have animals myself , if we lose one , it is a tragedy for us all. I love your design and the photo is so cute ! Excellent !
Awwww. He was so adorable. I am so sorry. It is so hard to say good bye. This is a wonderful tribute, and I shed a tear for your loss. I know how bad it hurts.
I feel very sorry for you and your wife, it's always hard to lose one so loved. It's very nice when I cross pathes with others who show their heart to animals for others to see. As an ex assitant vet and animal recue I know how hard it is when you care and become so close. Your the Asenik ( Angel) of animals.
Oh, yes, this is indeed a very, very beautiful tribute to a beautiful little dog!! I feel for you - first Urchin and now him, but they must both have had great lives in your warm home!
My condolences on losing Gizmo, Dirk. This is a beautiful remembrance.
Beautiful tribute to Gizmo - lovely image and design.
