Oh no, Toby, too? What’s up with all the losses and unbearable grief in the past several months? My heart can’t take this, and I know the hearts of many others are breaking, too. My most sincere condolences to Toby’s peeps and to you, as you had opened up your hearts and home to him, so this is yet another loss for you. Those of us who have our loved ones with us need to give out extra hugs tonight and cherish every moment we have with them.

We are blessed beyond blessings, for all these kind words for and about our sweet Toby. There are is no way we could ever put into the right words how lucky we were to share 13 wonderful years with him. And, how blessed we are to have Stuart’s peeps in our lives and taking such wonderful care of our silly, sassy, Scottie boy. He loved exploring Stuart’s yard and finding Stuart’s toys around the house. He was comfy there and that meant everything to us. Some over the top strange circumstances found us not being able to have Toby with us these last few days. But, he was in a safe and happy place with Stuart’s peeps and this is a gift we will always be grateful for. This grief is hard, nothing that will take it away. There is the comfort knowing that Stuart is there for Toby and they are sharing long ARROOOS with each other. Glad to finally meet. They are watching and knowing they are forever loved……

Our Dear Nan, our hearts are breaking ! First sweet Stuart and now Toby! I believe God must have needed a couple more Scotties in his fold. I have no doubt Stuart met Toby at the bridge and they are running and playing and having a good time together with all the other animals. I’m sending BIG HUGS and prayers to you and your hubby and to Toby’s peeps. May the love he and Stuart gave ya’ll always be felt by you. Thank You for sharing both of these wonderful Scotties with all of us.
Love,
