Hi Friends. If you subscribe to my newsletters and/or follow my Serene Stamper page on FB, than you will know that my sweet dog, Rosey, has been gradually declining due to age-related health issues. I’m heartbroken to share that my beautiful girl, Rosey Mae, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Monday. We found a wonderful vet to help her pass peacefully, and I was with her, giving love and kisses until the very end.

Rosey was an incredible furbaby, and I feel so grateful and blessed to have had her in my life for 14 wonderful years. I’ll be taking a few days to grieve, but I promise I’ll be back soon with more videos, cards and projects.
Your amazing messages of support have touched my heart more than words can express. THANK YOU!

Dear Tina,
I just read about your loss from your dog and it makes me sad, too.
I remember, how I grieved when I lost my pets –
take all your time you need. No hurry.
GOD bless you!
