See YA Joey!!!!! I wefoose to say goobye

One of my fiwstest fwiends on the Blog Joe Stains left fow the Wainbow Bwidge..he took his Yankees Blanket wif him fow the twip
the blogosphewe will nevew be the same again.

This has been such a howwibull time on the blogosphewe.  Mowe and mowe of my fwiends awe cwouding the Bwidge these days.

I'm still weeling ovew losing Butchy love  and then Deacon of the Key West Collies left wifout wawning, and now Joe Stains..............................

WTF
I am mad, I am sad


Joey was Oonique in evewy way, iwweplacabull!
I knew that evewy time I would go visit, I would come away wif a laugh and mowe often than not, mommi squiwted hew coffee out of hew nose when she wead his posts to me
His twiboolations wif Tannew aka the Doofus, his devotion to his Yankees and Steelews
his dislike of the cold and legendawy Stains made him endeawing(he would hate that) and unfowgettabull




Joey nevew just had a Biwfday..it was aways a week of Joeypalooza


he was a pal to all of us and I was aweady missing him since he stopped blogging so much wecently, but just knowing he was thewe cheewed me up

 

I will leave you wif a pictoowe of Joe on ouw Afwican adventoowe, it gives you an idea of the havoc he must be causing ovew the bwidge.

 



Joe
I will nevew fowget you, I will think of you evewy time life is cwummy and I will say WTF?  We will continue youw legacy of stains and continoo all the fun when we meet  again
..in the meantime, I know heaven will be a lot mowe fun because you awe thewe

Stella said...

Asta! You hit the nail on the head with this blog about Joseph Stains!

Every Boston Terrier seems to have a quirky personality (they are their own dogs!) but it seems like Joe got a double dose of quirky, maybe triple!

I feel like Tanner (Doofuss) will have a hard time with this, he might have to go to doggy daycare or something for a while. But I want to wish him well, too.

Cheers and hugs,

Stella, Mom and Zkhat

Read it over out loud...how can you not smile at those incredible memories? Cling to them now and know those who have left are not gone...they live forever.

Dear Asta, what a beautiful tribute to your dear friend Joey. We so wish we had known him!

TwoSpecialWires said...

Asta. Sissie! We're back! It may be only for a bit ... but we're BACK! And we want you to know we are trying our VERY best to pull Moma up and straighten her out and ... yes ... dry her eyes. It seems all those tears she's been shedding have made it even harder to help us at the computer ... we have a feeling you know what we mean.

Too many losses. Too many trials. Too many tribulations. Too many minimized birthdays (Jake told me to say that ... I told him it was rude. Plus, he doesn't even really mean it. He just has heard Moma talking about it a lot.) What we know is ... with every loss and challenge and distraction, we're reminded of how much this blogging family means to us. It's 'cause we care so much that it hurts so much.

We love you. We love everything you bring to this huge family. And we are soooo glad you are our 'doptive sissie. (And we so wish we could be there with you right about now. We could play, and AuntieAmi could console Moma about the new hole in her mouth ... with a silly flipper ... is that a dolphin of some sort? ... on its way.) People! It's so much easier being a dog. (Speaking of which ... I've crossed new milestones! We'll tell you about them soon!)

We miss you and love you.
Fergi (and the others)

Darling girl You always say it the best. We are heart broken and like you still reeling from Butchy. Our biggest consolation is knowing they are PARTYING over there...... WE send you a thousand kisses Love A+A

Mrs Mac said...

Oh Asta, I am sooo sorry that you have lost another friend. Well, not lost, but been parted from. It is so painful when this happens. I am still sad for Fluffy, and that has been nearly 6 months now.

Asta, do you know Butchy and Snickers? They are wire fox terriers in Ohio and their blog is http://butchyandsnickers.blogspot.com/

I wondered if meeting a new friend would help, you see.....

Lots of hugs and under-chin scrunchies (they are Scooter's favourite at the moment)
Helena, Bob and Dilly.
