    Dear Mr Frodo. Four years on.

    Dear Mr Frodo, Today marks 4 years since I last held you in my arms. 4 years since I last petted you, since you licked my tears away. It feels like yesterday, yet it feels like 10 years ago. I miss you so much, but it has become easier. Time doesn’t heal all wounds, but it makes them bearable. The main difference now is Tonky is with you. I don’t really believe in life after death for humans, but for some reason, the thought of you and Tonka being over the rainbow bridge together comforts me. Hopefully, Bayley, Emily, Betsy, Prince, King, Billy and all my other babies (and fur siblings) are…

    Dear Mr Frodo (A year on)

    Dear Mr Frodo, Today marks a year since you passed away. A year since I last held you, since I smelt you, got kisses, heard your bark. It’s been a year since you struggled to sit up on the vets desk, to lick away my tears, as I said goodbye. A year since I held you, told you that I loved you, that you were THE BEST dog, my best friend, my baby boy, as you drifted away. It’s been HARD, but like people have said, it’s got easier. I think moving to Melbourne helped, because I no longer expect to see you come strutting down the hall. For so…

    Goodbye Mr Frodo

    RIP Frodo Dobby Baggins 17/07/2002 – 2/12/2013 Yesterday was a hard day. The worst day. I had to say goodbye to my best friend, my baby, or as Caitlin put it, my furry soul mate. Those of you who have followed my blog for a long time will know how much this little man meant to me, and to say that I am devastated would be an understatement. Frodo had been getting old. After his operation early last year, he’s aged dramatically. The past month or so, he’s just grown really lazy, mainly due to some arthritis in his legs. He’s been less lively. On Saturday, his back right leg…

    Happy 10th Birthday Mr Frodo!

    Today, 10 years ago, a little bundle of joy was born into this world and a few weeks later, I’d fall madly in love and soon be a parent. I find it hard to put into words, how much I love Frodo, how much I feel for him, and I think the only way is to say, that I feel very much like a Mother would for their child. Frodo IS my baby. I look at him at times and my heart swells. I was 16 when Frodo came into my life, I walked past a pet store and BAM! It was like instant recognition, that dog is MY dog.…

    Quick Pics – The Frodo Edition

    Todays outfit post was a failure, due to the sun being in the way. This was the only savable photo. Mr Frodo and I hanging out by the pool. If you’re interested, Shirt – Katies. Leggings – 17 Sundays. Sleepy. My parents and I went out today to look around suburbs of where they are considering moving too, and I came home with 2 new coats for Frodo. Frodo very much dislikes the cold and whenever it gets chilly, he will sit next to you and SHAKE. He currently has 2 coats, but they are getting a little old. Thing is, Frodo LOVES his coats. He loves the dress up and after putting on a…
