: Bryce is such a kind and thoughtful member of my family!
: marinafb August 07, 2008, 05:35:29 PM
My mother Had Breast Cancer and she left this world on Friday. I had a wonderful visit with her on Thursday and i missed her passing by 5 min on Friday.I have so much to do but wanted to take a break from it all. Bryce has taken to following me around every where i go he rests his head on the table and stares at me. When i cry he lays his head on my lap.I see a whole different side of Bryce on Tuesday when i took him to school he was kinda strange when i picked him up his teacher said he did not eat his lunch and wanted to hang out with the small dogs he is such a love bug i am so thankful to have him!

Oh, Marina. I am so sorry for your loss. It's incredible how our "best friends" can pick up when we really need them to be comforting and present, isn't it.

Good boy, Bryce.

I'm so very sorry Marina. My thoughts and prayers are with you. There's not a doubt in my mind that Bryce feels your pain and loss. Hang on tight to him. He needs his Momma as much as you need him. These Special Beings feel almost as though we and they are one together. He needs to comfort you now. And you need him too. 

Again, My Dear. I am so sorry for your loss.

Marina,

Sincere hugs straight from my heart to your heart... Peaceful Rest to your beloved mother..

Your boy is so special..my girls do the same..and lick tears off my face. My Ashley, as I mentioned in her post, took my whole hand in her mouth and just held it. I believe it is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen a dog do. When a friend stopped by to feed my girls (I was on an overnight business trip) Ashley did the same thing to her..my friend ended up spending the night here because she was so touched by the **hand holding**
