| That's really nice. It's a good way to honor Pooh's happy life he had with you. |
| What a beautiful statue and a lovely garden. A great resting place for a treasured family member. |
| Beautiful! |
| Beautiful sheepdog, beautiful garden. |
| That's really beautiful, what a great place to go, sit, and remember (and I'm sure cry). |
| Beautiful tribute to Pooh! |
| Thank you for the compliments on the statue. I did start to cry when we picked it up. He's sitting in between some plants I bought after we had put down. I need something to remind me of that day. About the last thing I wanted to do was plant them, but I had to get them in that same day for my peace of mind....I think that was part of the start of my healing process. We were heading shopping after putting the statue in. It was a beautiful day with fluffy clouds. I was sitting there just thinking about Pooh and just wanted get a small sign. (here I go again) Anyway, I was looking at a cloud formation (big cloud) and I could see the form of a sheepdog laying down on his 4 legs. I could see the profile of his head and nose and his body. The cloud that formed his ear had a shadow and it was on the same ear that Pooh had a darker pattern. I just stared and couldn't talk. The cloud had the shadow on the nose and next thing I knew the nose and face were staring in my direction. (I wasn't driving in case anyone was curious!) Naturally the tears started again. Call me nuts, but I know what I saw. |
| We all have unexplained moments, feelings, gut instincts or whatever. You know what you saw and what you felt. Go with it, take it all in and believe it was a sign from Pooh. ( I hope it put a smile on your face and in your heart?) |
| Beautiful! Cindy |
| What a beautiful tribute to Pooh Bear. It brought a tear to my eyes. Where did you get the statue? |
| We got the statue from our local rescue lady. She painted it to Pooh's color and pattern. I think she picks up the unpainted statues at dog shows. These are solid cement and HEAVY!!!! |
| The garden looks beautiful, wonderful place for Pooh to rest in peace. |
| How beautiful! |

Call me nuts, but I know what I saw. With the pictures and with this you did make me cry... Pooh's statue is beautiful and I love his memorial garden! It's just perfect!  He was probably up there letting you know that he loves it too. |
| The statue and your garden are lovely. Is Pooh buried there as well? I can't believe how beautiful it all is. The statue couldn't be more perfect. We would love to have a statue like that for Hannah, doubtful we could ship due to weight. We buried her in a pet cemetery but I haven't been able to go and choose the headstone. Just one step at a time, it is so hard. I'm so glad you've gotten a "sign". My husband says we've been given lots of signs too but I'm still too distraught to really think straight in regards to our Hannah. I know how hard it is and I wish you comfort and peace! |
| Actually Pooh is sitting on a shelf near me in a nice mahogony box that I look at all the time. I can't quite bear to part with his ashes. I touch the box and cry. Emma (my granddaughter 8 years old) wrote him a nice letter she cut into a heart pattern that is sitting on the box. She wrote " Dear Pooh Bear, you are a part of my heart. You are the best dog anybody could wish for. You were kind, sweet, fun, cute, good and you were like a brother to me. I wish u stayed. We started together and wish we ended together. I love and miss you very much. Love Emma" My granddaughter and I decided to rename my perennial garden "Pooh's" memorial garden and planted additional rose bushes and hydrengea on the day we put him to sleep. The roses have just taken off and look like they have been there for years! The statue is a constant reminder of Pooh since it was painted with his color pattern. That statue is verryyyyy heavy! It's actually 3 months today since we said goodbye and the tears still flow daily. I miss you Pooh....................... |
That is beautiful! Again, you made me cry...  Emma is such a sweet heart! I'm sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you must be going through. But I hope you feel my hugs! |
| I just lost another sheepie who was my most favorite. (Little Samantha was raised from day one by my wife, Jean). Now Sam is with Jean over the rainbow bridge. Your garden is a wonderful place and I would like to borrow the idea to place all 14 sheepies' ashes in such a delightful setting so I can go sit by the ocean in such a nice place and cry sometimes. Even after so many, I've never forgotten or gotten over the loss of any of them. I can understand why it is very difficult to move the little wood boxes from the house out into the elements but I want to think of them at play and sheeping about - if only in my mind. I'm sorry if I sound too maudlin but your story and garden pictures struck a responsive chord. God bless you and I'd like to say it gets better with time...but it hasen't yet. |
| Thank you for the compliments on the memorial garden for Pooh Bear. I was just thinking about the statue out there. They are talking about some snow. I know it's silly, but I worry about him getting cold out there. I know, it's only a statue, but.................. |

A blast from the past...I'm so glad you still stop in. I'm so sorry about Samantha. And I still think of Jean. Funny, I was remembering her not too long ago and wondering if you still visit. It's oddly reassuring to see her screen name show up. Like she's somehow still here with us. I love your idea for a memorial site. Kristine |
 This is Pooh Bear's statue that was sitting in the garden. We brought it into the house to keep him "warm" for the Wisconsin winter. I know it's only a statue, but it was painted in his coat pattern, so I got too attached to it! |
| That is a lovely statue. I would be bringing it in too, to keep it warm and safe. |
| What a wonderful tribute to Pooh. The statue is just perfect. I like the idea of the garden and I understand you wanting to bring it in to take care of it. |
