This is a birthday present to me from my sister and two nieces...it hangs in my living room where she is a part of our every day life... She is smiling at me always here and it makes me smile too.

Here is Copper as a gangly "Teenager" She had this photo taken when our daughter had her graduation photos taken...Just look at the curiosity in those eyes...I love it!!!

This is where I found a penny on the window sill...she always sat here and watched for us to get hom

It seems that I find things that must be my girl letting me know she is happy...and she is thinking about me. They are comforting and make me smile. One of her nicknames was Copper Penny. the last couple months I have been finding pennies in really odd places..in the middle of the kitchen stove..in the bathroom sink...on the window sill where she always layed her chin to watch out the window. I think a message for mom.

 I have never remembered the morning she died on the date or on a Monday morning...thought about it the day befor or the day after or something like that. I have felt guilty about that, but thought it was just God's way of protecting my hurting heart. ON the 11th of Sept I was on the way to Hobby Lobby to get some adhesive and all of a sudden, out of the blue, it "HIT" me that this is Copper's 9th anniversary. I glanced at the clock in the car and it was 11:48 which was the exact time she sagged against me and was gone. I was shocked...managed to park the car and cried for awhile and finally went into the store. I did not go to the adhesive aisle in the scrapbooking dept but instead found myself in the Sticker aisle. and there right in front of me was page of stickers for a dog page and my eyes went directly to a poem that read::::: Fluffy beds, and endless treats. Gates to guard, and new friends to meet. Long slow walks and petting hands. Safe with God in Dog Heaven. It was meant to be!! There can be no other explanation for it. If not for the revelation in the car, I would have gotten my adhesive and left like any other day.

It was comforting and I thanked God for the message. He is very creative in how He communicates with us. I often wonder how many times I have been to busy to "See" or "Understand" something. Just "Believe" and watchful and you may find messages personal to you and your Furever friend.

This photo is on my computer Desk Top so It is easy to talk to my girl and say Good Morning and Good nite each day...It is my favorite photo of her. I love her eyes in this one,

This is the beautiful Box I got for Copper's Ashes...she is on the shelf in the bedroom where she always slept. At first I would carry her to the living room in the morning or sit her box on my computer hutch. I am glad she is near by and I talk to her often.

This is a Matt I had cut with the letters of her name and for some very special photos. It hangs in the living room and makes me smile.

A very special Angel who I like to think is watching over and playing with my Copper. The verse on the dress says::: Every Creature of God is good 1 Tim.4:4 Bless you my faithful friend, God's Gift: Your beautiful trusting eyes can close knowing I love you and will see you soon. The tiny frame with wings on it holds a photo of my Furever Friend

A Puppy angel with wings and halo. Looks just like you Copper when you were a puppy...

All my momentos in this heart basket. I keep the pennies here that you throw down Copper Top. The first thing I see in the morning when I get up sweetie. Always remembered and loved!!

This is a resin statue I found that looks just like Copper as a pup...She looks like she is looing up into the tree watching the squirrels which is what she always did..Now this winter I have her sitting inside looking out into the front yard...
