Hey everyone! Sad news first: my dear Daisy Mae has left this world. She passed on Memorial Day, right next to me on her old favorite spot on my bed. She lived a long, happy, spoiled life from the time she was 8 weeks old to nearly 16. When I say I loved my dear girl to death, I mean it. I drove 7 hours north to Wisconsin from Chicago in a blizzard (jackknifed trucks on the freeway and all) to pick her up, and she refused to stay anywhere in the car besides inside my coat against my chest the entire way back. Since then we were inseparable. Some veteran PSrs may remember her from this thread from 2006 (scroll through for the cutest puppy pics and musings from past members we haven't seen in a while!) I miss her so much, but it was her time. She was such a stitch; she protected my daughter and me from everything--basically squirrels and anything that moved--and lived for food in any form. In the past few years, I made her fresh baked chicken and rice/veggies every day. She ate better than many people, and I attribute her longevity to enjoying a healthy diet. Were there table scraps? Absolutely...you couldn't resist those eyes.
Somehow I've hit "post thread" before I was finished. Please see this post on Colored Stones for pics!
I randomly happened to be looking at the pre-loved section on Pricescope on the Friday before Daisy passed. Right away I noticed this ring for sale "yellow sapphire and emerald ring" and had to have it. I stashed it in my "wants" list and promptly forgot all about it...until Monday, Memorial Day. When Daisy was gone, I texted my brother to let him know so I could bring her down to the family property and bury her next to our other pets. I got myself together. Then I bought that ring...Daisy was born in September--sapphire birthstone. My daughter and I were both born in May--emerald birthstone. It was meant to be. So, it's a family ring now and symbolizes my dog, my daughter, and me. My daughter will obviously inherit it (or maybe sooner) and it was the sweetest touch to have a little sparkly to commemorate this year's happenings. I hit a milestone bday, my daughter also hit a milestone bday, and our beautiful Daisy retired to someplace I'm sure is peaceful, happy, and full of rabbits to chase.

New to me (preloved) yellow sapphire/emerald ring
At long last, I have purchased a pre-loved piece from a fellow PSr! I just happened to see it in pre-loved, a subforum I rarely visit, about 10 days ago. There it was, this perfect little ring, designed and custom-made for someone else, and perfect for me! I love emeralds and haven't bought...

Puppy name ideas, anyone?
So....we have decided to add a new puppy to our family! I'm so excited, but she isn't here just yet. DH and I just put a deposit on her today, after a weekend of playing the choice game with another couple who had first dibs and were trying to decide which of two female pups they wanted. We...
