Casey,

Thank you.

They were my our fur babies that left us too soon. Cuddles (white) passed away March 2014. She was 12 years old. Scout (gray) passed away April 2015. He was 13 years old. We got both of them early Feb. 2002.

They're in our hearts and memories every day.

I love your little adorable doggy.

They are beautiful! And I didn't realize they lived so long. What breed are they?

I know, it's so hard when it's time. We lost our two kitties in the past year and it still breaks my heart. I extended the memorial garden last fall with four varieties of daffodils/narcissus plus tulips, muscari, crocus and lilies, and added gaura, shasta daisy, candytuff, salvia, calla lilies, catmint, bluebells, and a handful of white flowering annuals. The only blooms right now are dark violet pansies and one lone shasta that is still insisting it's bloom time.

Thank you for the kind words about Wren. She's our first puppy. Smiling

Thank you Casey.

Cuddles was a Holland Lop and Scout was a Mini Lop. The vet said that they live on average 5 - 7 years and he said we were taking good care of them. We didn't have any other pets and don't have children. They lived inside the house the whole time and were bunny buddies.

So sorry to hear about your two kitties. Cute pic of Wren.

Wow, you doubled their life's expectancy. That's quite impressive. What wonderful life they had. Smiling

Thank you.

We still miss them everyday. That's why the vet said we were taking good care of them, since they lived as long as they did. We're so happy we had them as long as we did.
