Saturday Sharing - The Beyond Sad Version

Angel Shelby

Khyra's Mom Here -

Where to start - I've thought about this post since I first got the news -

The first email came from Cyndi and Stumpy - then Christine of Sam and Monty fame wrote - THEN I checked the FB post that shared the tragic events -

To say I went numb would be an understatement - I kept reading the words - and hoping I was reading them wrong -

And all I could see was Shelby - I know all but two of her siblings were lost too - but I couldn't get Shelby out of my head - after all she had endured before her Houston Angels found her - to have it all end like this -

It is so wrong on SO many levels - the kind of levels that have me shaking my head in a way I'm not sure I've ever done so -

I felt so helpless since I was at work - but thank dog for the crackberry - I was able to stay in touch -and share - and grieve - and questione - and try to help - it also saved me from crying - much -

But still I couldn't stop seeing Shelby -

I know the emails exchanged with so many of YOU all shared the common thread of not being able to imagine something so devastating happening -

Yet it happened to US - for WE are the US that is Blog World -

I couldn't wait to get home - and hug Khyra - and take her for a walk - and cry - and try to wrap my head around this - and cry - and get ready for a post - yet not sure what I would say - could say -

I'll admit I am too numb for the tears at this point - which is just before 8pm Friday night - but the few that did come - fittingly enough as we passed the cherry trees - for as Tommy's #1 has shared the cherry trees - and their blossoms - are actually emblematic of LIFE -

Well, as we came along that stretch of the walk, I couldn't help but think THIS should have happened to V*** - he should have had his entire life go up in flames - and NOT wonderful pups and peoples that just didn't deserve this fate -

I've babbled enough - so time to wrap this up -

I know so many of you have already blogged about this - but we wanted to share it as well - so we could help - financially - emotionally - for it could have been any one of us - but somehow Fate chose THE PIBBLE PACK in Houston

Our candle is lit as I write this - and post when I have it done - I know Shelby has a special place tonight across The Rainbow Bridge where all the Pibbles play - and share their sugars -

I have put the Chip In on our sidebar - and as I did it tonight I was just blown away by what I saw - a big thanks to Mayzie's Mom and Puddles's Mom for getting it going -

But then again, why not - WE are US - even if in most cases we'll never get to meet in the flesh and fur -

We care - and we know we are there for each other -

But somehow I doubt we ever thought it would be like THIS -

Time to see if this helped free some of the tears - some have made their way out - time for more -

Please hug your pups and KHATS - and have them return the favour -

SATURDAY MORNING UPDATE - I see Sandra has posted and shared some of the events - she has also commented how our support is helping - so please keep it heading their way!
