♥ Dearest Friends,
  I write this with a heavy heart. Our Family just lived through the Worst day of our Lives and we are Devastated.  On Sunday we came home from a ride to find our sweet precious Fur-baby Pocket had passed away while we were away. Pour Austin ran to let Pocket out for a walk and found him "sleeping". Pocket is a HUGE part of our lives.
 
After 11 years of Infertility Pocket came into our lives. Danny & I didn't think we could take another step on our difficult journey to parenthood. Then February of 1997 Pocket came to the Rescue! We adopted him at 5 weeks old, so Precious & Tiny. As I've always described Pocket... "Small Enough To Fit In Your Hands, But Cute Enough To FILL Your Heart!" ♥. That's our Pocket! The day we drove him Home from N.C. to VA. Danny & I would take turns holding him all wrapped up in a baby blanket just like a Newborn Baby! He was the first to finally make us Mommy & Daddy!
He made our Hearts Smile again☺!

          ♥ Coming Home... ♥

This is how Pocket got his name! He fit in his Daddy's shirt Pocket!

You wouldn't know it from the photo above and below but I'm a BOY! Yes a BOY! My Mom promised me that no one but her would see this picture if I let her take them! This is the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL! Don't you think? Mom had way too much time on her hands and I was her UNWITTING VICTIM! But I did get extra treats on DRESS-UP day!! I think I forgive her. (Boy that was BIG of me huh!?)

It is so hard to loose a fur baby they are just as much a part of our lives as our children.
