Happy 15th Birthday in Heaven my sweet PJ boy. I always thought we would have many more birthdays to celebrate together. I never expected our time to be cut short. You hold such a special place in my heart my cray cray boy. You were an old soul who loved so deeply, and you were always happy and had such a great attitude about life. Every time on our walks, it was as if you were seeing outside for the first time and the beauty of our world and surroundings. You loved and lived life to the fullest. You taught me so much. I miss you every single day and there is not a day that goes by that you aren't in my thoughts. I love you my big cray cray PJ boy. I know Chloe (Jake, Rosie, Dublin and Copper and all the foster pups) are throwing you the best birthday party in Heaven and taking after Mommy. Have lots of cake and ice cream and more birthday goodies. Please know that I am with you, in your heart, on your special day, today and always. I love you forever and look forward to the day that we will all be together again. Always and Forever in my heart. XOXO Love, Your Mommy

Hard to believe that I picked up sweet Rosie 5 years ago today to take her home and foster her. She was the sweetest senior foster gal ever. I loved her crazy sleeping positions and her bunny hopping around the deck. These are her owner surrender pictures and when I first got her, meeting PJ and Freida. That smile of hers, got me every time. I love you sweet Rosie girl! You are always and forever in my heart!

XOXO

I want to share this post with all of you as I know you all know my brother's beagles that I share here.

I want to thank everyone for your birthday posts and comments. I truly appreciate them, and I am sorry that I have not been able to reply or acknowledge them. Things did not go the way I had planned for my birthday.

Many of you know that my brother Tim Eluskie had a stroke almost 9 years ago (March 19, 2016) and it was a bad one. It took away his speech (he had Aphasia) and his right side was severely affected so walking was difficult along with his right-hand mobility. Growing up, Tim was a bright star, who loved sports and was that all around guy that had the best smile and everyone loved. He got dealt a bad hand in his early 20's and had a lot of medical issues but he persevered. This last stroke just took that strength away and he was tired of fighting and working hard and didn't think that speech therapy or rehab therapy would help him, so he just lived day to day with his Beagle's who were his whole world. He was good with that. We tried to push him to work at speech and physical therapy but he just didn't want to. I would pick him up and take him to our family functions and when we took pictures, I always tried to get him to smile, because his whole face lit up when he smiled.
Yesterday, December 16th, my birthday, I went to pick Tim up to take him to my parents to celebrate and never expected what I found. My brother was gone. My heart is broken. The beagles were there and confused and hungry. To say my family is just besides themselves is an understatement. Marley and Copper are with me and I will continue to care for them. Marley is 16 and Copper is 13, with a heart murmur.

We ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we get through this trying time this week, especially at the holidays. Tim was going to be 60 on January 4th, 2024, and we were planning his birthday.

I am sharing the information on the visitation and mass for him below. If you can't make it, we understand but if you have any stories or messages that you would like to share, please share on the Lynch Obituary page for Tim. We would love to know how he may have touched you or any special memories you may have.

With Love,
Chrissy and the Eluskie Family

Today is Giving Tuesday and I am hoping to raise $500 to help Live Like Roo reach their goal of $40,000 as an amazing donor has agreed to match that total. This would help so many families financially with their furry family members cancer diagnosis. They have helped me with Chloe, PJ, Rosie and Dublin. Please consider making a donation if you don't have a charity that you are supporting today. Thank you! ❤

Live Like Roo has an incredible opportunity this Giving Tuesday to receive a $40,000 match from a generous donor. We need your help to reach this goal! They have hundreds of applicants waiting and this will help so many people and animals that are...

Giving Tuesday is coming up and if Live Like Roo can raise $40,000, they have a donor that will match that $40,000. It would be amazing for them to receive $80,000. That amount sure can help a lot of families financially with their furry family members cancer diagnosis. I am trying to help them get there and hoping to raise $500. If you don't have an organization that you support, consider donating to Live Like Roo. You never know when you might need help for your baby. I have lost 4 dogs to cancer and Sarah has been there every time for me.

BREAKING NEWS.....The DNA Results are in for Autumn, and I have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE! IT'S OFFICIAL, AUTUMN HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

I am happy to announce that our sweet girl has been adopted this morning. She found her forever family and home. She is doing well, and they already love her. My friend/co-worker Tracey Taylor who I have known over 20+ years, her husband Dave and their dogs Angel and Buddy met Autumn last Saturday. It was love at first site. They wanted to adopt her. So, this morning, I drove her there and the contract was signed, and she is officially Autumn Taylor now. She is doing great!

I never even got a chance to put Autumn up online with Animal Placement Bureau. Funny how things work out. The good news is, she is not far from me, and I can visit her! I am sure she will be participating in Take Your Dog To Work Day next year too. Yay!

Friends of the River Rouge Animal Shelter Thank you to Patricia Trevino and Rene' Zwolinski Smith for taking such good care of her and transporting her to me. It takes a village!

Welcome Home Autumn! Happy Life and Congratulations to you, your new Mommy Tracey, Daddy Dave, Sister Angel and Brother Buddy!

Things have been really difficult for Steve and I without Dublin. 😢 We are so heartbroken 💔 and miss our sweet lemon 🍋 boy 🐕 so much. Stevie is really having a hard time and cries non stop and doesn't sit or lay down when I leave. He looks for Dublin in the car when I get home.

We are so blessed to have such wonderful, caring Veterinary Doctors, Veterinary Team, and amazing friends who support us, who truly care about us and how we are doing.

I had a call today from Dr. Isaacs @ Dogwood and he wanted to check in with me to see how we are doing and tell me how sorry he was for our loss of Dublin. He didn't rush me to get off the phone, he listened to me even as I cried. He let me know that I did everything that I could to help Dubs. He told me if I need to talk in the future, to call and he would be there for me. He is such a kind and compassionate doctor.

Then, the mail came and I received a beautiful card from my holistic Vet, Dr. Matt today and it was hand written by him. His words were so heartfelt, kind and mean so much to me. Dr. Matt helped Dublin cross. He was also there for me with my Chloe. We go way back to Jakey days and I am grateful for our friendship. ❤️

Also in the mail today, was the most amazing keepsake from my sweet friend Sarah Ann and Live Like Roo Foundation. I was balling when I opened it. It is a wooden heart with my sweet Dubbies on it and it is so beautiful. Sarah and LLR have been there for me with Chloe, PJ, Rosie and Dublin who all had a cancer diagnosis. Sarah has a heart of gold 💛 and is always there for me and my furkids. I believe in her mission and all that she and LLR do to help families financially and emotionally whose pets have a cancer diagnosis. I will always be forever grateful to her and LLR. Thank you Sarah and LLR. I love you and the Roo Team. XOXO ❤️ 😘 My sweet boy Dublin, you touched so many lives in your short life and everyone loved you. Always and forever in my 💛. 💛🍋🐕🌈🐾

My sweet boy is a cartoon character 💛💙🍋🐕🌈

Missing you more than anything Dublin 😭💔 This is so hard. We love you so much. Always and forever in our hearts.

XOXO ❤️ 😘

Thank you to Daily Kibble for honoring my sweet boy Dublin. 💛🍋🐕 Stevie and I miss you so much Dubbies! I am sure you are celebrating with Jake, Chloe, PJ and Rosie in Heaven at the 🌈 Bridge! We love you and you will always be in our hearts forever. XOXO

Three years ago today, November 23, 2019, I first met Dublin and took him home to foster him. He was an owner surrender who was going to euthanize him, and he was only 3 years old.

Today, November 23, 2022, with a broken heart, I helped my boy cross over to the Rainbow Bridge and take away his cancer and pain. I don't even know where to start to do this boy justice in a post. I am so unbelievably heartbroken that we only had 3 years together. I tried my best to save my boy and it just wasn't meant to be. Dublin had Diabetes Insipidus, which my brother has so I knew what it was all about and that is why I decided to foster him. Four days later we were at the emergency vet and Thanksgiving morning, he needed surgery for a foreign body obstruction, or he wouldn't make it. He had both ACL's done and was in and out of emergency and vet offices.

I officially adopted him on his 4th Birthday, June 14th, 2020, because I knew he would come back to me if I adopted him out because he was a Lemon. I lovingly called him my Lemon and I would do anything to give this boy a normal life. I got insurance for him before his 5th birthday and then he started acting different and was diagnosed with a brain tumor, cancerous, on July 17th, 2021. Having the insurance allowed me to do MRI's, stereotactic radiation, chiropractic, acupuncture, holistic supplements and a whole bunch more medical stuff. Even the vets were shocked at all he had been through and agreed on his Lemon title. Every single one of them always told me what a great boy he was for having to go through what he had to go through. He was a true Warrior and a Fighter.

Dublin made it 16 months past his brain cancer diagnosis. This boy was able to do a lot in the short time that I had him. I took him to so many places. He was such a good boy. He lived his life to the fullest. I can't believe he isn't here anymore with me and Steve. We are lost without him. I will do a proper memorial and hopefully video when I can digest all of this.

I can't thank all of you for following him and all the many prayers and good juju and best wishes for him. I know it helped. Please, one more time, say a prayer or have a good thought for my Lemon Boy tonight. Maybe for me and Stevie too. Steve is going to need a lot of extra love. Dublin was his emotional support dog.

We hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Hug your pups and kitties and other furries extra tight for us. We love you all! God Bless!

Christine and Steve Rogers
XOXO 😘💛🍋🐕🌈
