RIP Chester- September 21, 1995~April 21, 2007 It is unfathomable how much I miss you. You left me on a Saturday night, a day of fun and happiness, transformed into to horror and sorrow. I will never forget the way you would run up to me when I’d walk out the door with the box of your favorite doggie snacks. You were always there for me, for the family, protecting us. I pray you did not suffer in your passing, for your leave looked tough. Now you’re up in heaven, with Ginger and Bibi. I miss you so much. I am sorry I could not be there in your passing, for I know it was an accident. When I still hear the dog bowl outside scraping against the side of the house, I believe in my heart that you’re still out there, your spirit, still watching over us, protecting us. Though you may be gone, you still reside in my heart, forever. We will meet again.

This poem is dedicated to you. I lost a special friend today the kind you can’t replace, and looking at his empty bed I still can see his face. I see the endless energy the sparkling puppy eyes, Not the tired, fragile friend I had to bid goodbye. I know he’s in a special place our Lord has for such friends, Where meadows, fields & flowers help make them strong and whole again. I remember how he’d run to me to play his favorite puppy game, And how his ears would perk right up When he heard me call his name. But as those precious years went by And we both aged and grew, I’d find him often slowing down But-we had still so much to do. He did his guard dog duty well Each time the doorbell rang, Strangers surely couldn’t see My gentle friend–behind those fangs. I’ve noticed in the recent times His ears were not as sharp, Where is that running ball of fur The years have shown their mark. He started sleeping next to me Was this his special clue, Because he felt the end was near I only wish I knew. My Chester was a special dog I know he gave his best, But as I looked deep into his eyes I knew it was time, for him to rest. It will truely be a struggle I don’t know how I’ll face each day, I have to let him go–I know But in my heart he’ll always stay. This special place our Lord has made Health and strength, wait for him there, So with my very special friend I’m sending all my prayers. I know he’s watching over me he’ll be with me when I cry, So with one more kiss on his beloved head I told my Chester goodbye. By Christina L.

I’ll be working on that, but for now I have to get off my computer.

***NOTE: I’m going through my pages and validating them as I go, so if you see anything funny looking right now, it’s becuase I’m currently editing Don’t fret, it will be fixed eventually I promise!*** So as you can see I finally got creative and made a really nice looking layout. This is the first layout I’ve drawn myself, other than the Halloween layout I had up a couple years ago (the house was halfway drawn for me already, but I spent a while adding extras onto it and coloring it in the way I wanted it to be) which you can click below to see

I think I did pretty good considering it’s only my second drawing I know that I had written on my front page that I was “Revamping” but I figured I might as well put this layout up once i finished, so here it is in all it’s glory. I’m going to be working on all of my pages, fixing them up, adding a ton of things in the “about me” section and maybe some tutorials, once I actually finish adding my style to all of them :/ So look forward to some new pages popping up around! :DOh, and by the way, if you’re here on Quilting Bee eggies business, I have seven eggies hidden around my site. Good luck finding them!

Yeah, I’m already tired of this layout. I don’t think it’s great at all. I’m going to make a new layout this weekend (starting tomorrow since I have friday off) and I’m thinking about converting my whole site to WordPress. How does that sound? I’m not fully sure if I’m going to do that, but I am seriously considering it! Leave me some feedback on that idea
