Ali,

I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. He is on the rainbow bridge waiting for the day you both will be joined together again. I know my Heidi was there to greet him. They will be playing in the sunlight, running without pain together. Your new puppy is beautiful. I'm so jealous. Springers are sooooo smart and fun to train. My 3 dogs allow me to live on their planet. what is so embarrassing is that I am a certified profession trainer. Never was any good with my own tho. On my worse days, my 3 girls stay close to me and always want to physically have part of their body on mine. On good days, they stay wherever they want. I've got the trial scs now, so I can't even go outside and see my horses. they are so important to me. my doc told me that 9-12 months after I get the perm scs, that I should be able to ride them again. I can't wait. I always have to have my animals around..they are so good for the soul.

hugs
Mary

Hi ya Ali and Andrea!
I too want to say how very sorry I am to hear of your "Ben" passing away. Mary, your words to Ali had me bawling my eyes out! How "BEAUTIFUL"!!
Ali, your new dog is so adorable. I too love the name Bruno. His eyes are so "cute" I wish I had him! LOL Anyway, keep watching, looking, playing with your new puppy and you will find that perfect name! I myself love the name, "Hero" Well, I am glad to hear about your hand unfolding also!! What a miracle that is! I wish for you, loads of get well wishes, love and happiness and joy! `Love, Desi

Sandel - very odd... my dog is called Booboo!! she is a white alsation who we rescued a couple of years ago (after she and Fatz had been badly abused) she is the loveliest dog ever. xxxxxxx

Hey Ali.

First off, im sorry about you guys losing ben

I am sooooooo happy to hear about your hand Hopefully your leg will hop into gear.

Your new puppy is too cute

(bear with me, i come up with weird animal names. i used to breed gerbils and they had weird names )

He could be named:
cow!
moo!
monkey!
fred/freddie
patrick
cookie
waffle
bert
woof
pop

hehe

Ohhh, "Patrick" is an adorable name. He looks like a "Patrick".

Barb

Oh Ali, your little puppy is sooooo cute!!! He looks like he's sorry he just peed on the rug!!! LOL!!

I opt for the name Miracle too. We have a minor league baseball team down here call the Ft. Myers Miracles and they have a Springer Spaniel for their mascot and his name is Miracle too.

Hope you're feeling better and please, join us on our cyber-bus tour!!! It'll be a blast and we can all take turns walking your puppy!!!

I am so glad your parents got him for you.

The stress of losing your beloved older dog, certainly was not good for your
pain issues.

This new friend appears to be a fine therapist for you

Whatever name you pick, will be fine, I bet. I am one of those people who
believe that pets sort of choose their own name. They guide you to it!

Enjoy enjoy!

Looks like a good name, lol. Like naming a chihuahua Goliath. I am sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved friend, but the amazing thing happening with your hand, well, I should think The Lord had something in mind with that. Sounds like a blessing. May the miracles continue. Later, Smoke

Ali,

My deepest sympathies for you and your family, in the loss of your long time pet and friend. Our pets are family, and it does not hurt less when losing a pet.

I am so happy to know movement is showing in your hand. Keep working those muscles and try not to overdo at the same time.

Naming a pet is a personal matter; however, since you ask for suggestions, I like the name "Biscuit"...as a biscuit is a reward for the dog, and also a reminder that the dog came into your life and movement manifested in your hand...now that is a reward!
