Hi Everyone.

Tomorrow is April 29th and marks the one year anniversary of having an Angel buddy beside me and I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you–our friends in the Plutoverse.

Her absence is like sky, spread over everything. C.S. Lewis

Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Pluto–or hear her–or feel her near me. She is always up to something. If grief is indeed the last act of love we have to give those we have loved and lost, then I will give generously. It will still fall short of all Pluto gave me–all she continues to give me.

Our little world became so overwhelmingly large three years ago when she decided to share her heart–and opinions–with all of you. When she decided to create a bigger family–a Plutoverse of epic proportions! Thank you for all you have done for me these past twelve months—for your collective compassion. Thank you for walking with me through this difficult year of “firsts.” Thank you for checking in on my–for your many cards, emails, messages and oh-so-many comments on her Pluto Living posts. Most of all, thank you for accepting my path through the extraordinary grief of losing Pluto–a path I could never have imagined. A path that I often could not see from one day to the next and certainly never thought I would be sharing so publicly. But I came to understand it was a path to be shared. And I thank you for that as well. 

Pluto was a spark–and she continues to be one from the other side. Sometimes her light is brief and bright and catches in the corner of my mind. Sometimes her spark ignites a roaring blaze in my heart that can only be tamed by tears. Or, I can feel her sparks under my skin, like she is trying to tickle me until all I can do is smile and laugh. Those are my favourite sparks. (I think she may also be responsible for some of the sparks in my snack pouch that lead me to cookies. I like those too!) I often question myself about whether I should continue to post to Pluto’s pages, but I think for now, I will just follow the sparks and continue to let her guide me along this path, wherever it leads. You are more than welcome to come along. Heads high. Hearts open.

With my deepest gratitude,

Mom

 

Pizza Night for Pluto

We will be celebrating our Angelbuddy at home on April 29th with a special Pluto’s Remember You Pizza Party. I will be sharing her amazing pizza videos on her socials and we will be singing her famous song. There is also a new Pizza Party Playlist on her youtuber channel! So, I invite all our Plutoverse friends to have some pizza in her memory—and maybe drop a few pizza bones for your 4- legged friends to enjoy! She would encourage that.  🎶This is where the pizza goes, the pizza goes, the pizza goes…🎶

 

The Plutoverse Whooshing Ways!

Over the past three years the Plutoverse has raised over $80,000 for different deserving organizations. WHOA! That is a lot of whooshing! If you would like to make a donation in memory of Pluto, please consider one of her favourite amazeballs organizations: Veterinarians Without Borders Canada  Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team (ALERT) or the Reteti Elephant Orphange. 

Well, well, well…many of you asked if there could be more cards so I have once again made available a limited number of Pluto’s Not-So-Wild Cards! I will be donating part of the proceeds from all the cards sold to the above organizations. In addition to this, I will also be donating part of the proceeds from any of my NJ Wight Wild Cards purchased in the coming week. Pluto was always sneaking things on to the shelf in my shop, so that is where you will find her cards. If  you would like other Pluto souvenirs, check her shop page. I will be making a donation from any of her Zazzle swag sold in the coming week. 

Pluto hanging around.

  1. thank you NJ for all you did to share your precious girl with us…and so much of yourself. You made the world a better place….we all miss her…and I for one hope that she is with my girl Angel and her brother before her, Charlie, playing and running pain free….

  2. I have been out of touch due to health issues and just got the sad news. Pluto breached our world just when we needed her. In the midst of awful things, I laughed until my sides hurt at some of her antics. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. I’m glad everyone was here to try and help carry you through your loss. She will always be with you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  3. Thank you and Pluto for the best part of the past few Covid Years, and beyond. We realized after Pluto was gone that we missed having another heartbeat in the house.

    We have always had Yorkies. Our last little fellow had congestive heart failure at the end. It broke our hearts when the kindest service we could do for him was to take him to the Rainbow Bridge with the help of the Vet.

    We are in our mid seventies and we knew that a puppy was probably beyond our abilities, so we enjoyed Pluto and her amazeballs positive attitude. I’m happy to report that this winter we were able to adopt a cranky rescue Yorkie adult who had been abandoned in an empty apartment when his owners moved. No food or water or blankie or note with his name.

    The Canadian Yorkshire Terrier Association Rescue had wound up caring for him and had him inoculated, neutered, and his teeth cleaned by their Vet. We saw the notice that he was available for adoption, applied, interviewed him, and brought Buddy, as he is now, home in early February.

    We have had a long period of adjustment. He fell in love with his other mom immediately, but I think someone my size must have been cruel to him. We went through about a month of him attacking and biting me. Happily he has been learning to trust me. He is becoming a funny, clever, and easy companion. We love him to bits, and we have been rescued every bit as much as he has. Dogs do that.

    We hope that someday you and another little dog will fall in love with each other. But he or she will certainly have big paw prints to fill. Pluto will be with you for the rest of your life, your guardian Angel.

    Love from Chris & Marilyn

  4. Words can not express the void that is left after the loss of a family member. Pizza bones were one of our beloved Jack’s favorites! I hope he is sharing with Miss Pluto! It is a year of firsts without him for us.

    Thank you Nancie for all the memories! Your wildlife posts are amazeballs and we will always love the repeaters! The Plutoverse will always be here. ❤ Pluto helped a lot of nurses some how carry on and survive COVID. I can’t tell you how many times we laughed out loud thanks to Pluto.

    So…THANK YOU, and love to you and your family. ❤

  5. I spent the day watching/reading all things Pluto. I cried, laughed and cried some more. I had pizza in her honour and couldn’t stop singing the pizza song. What an amazeballs place the Plutoverse is and I am so glad to be a part of it. Thank you Nancie for continuing to share your special girl with us. I hope you can feel all the love we have for you and Pluto (& other Mom) and I hope it helps ease the pain. Heads high, hearts open, whoosing love. Oh damn, I just tripped on a pizza bone!

  6. Well, here I am typing through watery eyes again, but the tears are sentimental and filled with love more than they are sad. Your letter is beautiful, Nancie. You share yourself with all of us who have come to love you through Pluto so eloquently and simply. What an amazing world Pluto created for us here in the Plutoverse. Like others, I hope you continue to feel Pluto tickling you with her under-the-skin sparks to make you smile and laugh. I love that you have continued to post to Pluto’s pages and hope you will find it in your heart to keep doing so. You say we have helped you through this past year but you have helped us since first sharing your Angel. I accept your invitation to keep walking with you. Know you will never be alone.❤️

    • I feel exactly the same way. If we all miss Pluto so much I cannot imagine how Mom and this first 12 months must be feeling. ❤️❤️

  7. Please keep posting your memories. At least as long as you feel the sparks and want to do so. We will never be tired of remembering Pluto with you.

  8. “You whooshed something magical and twinkly in to this world”…..words spoken to the Plutoverse by Pluto.

    But, in reality, Pluto is the one that did the whooshing of something magical and twinkly to all of us! She gave us that ray of sunshine, laughter, tears, Pluto Univ random facts, joy, howling at the moon and so much more. So Pluto, I can’t think of a better way to celebrate and remember you than singing your pizza song, while I’m waiting to fill my snack pouch!
    Here’s to you, Pluto! Your spirit lives on!

  9. Like many other in the Plutoverse
    my heart is sad
    I still miss Pluto so much.
    Who would of thought she would make her way into my heart the way she did
    Pluto was the best.
    I think of her so often
    Thank you for sharing her with us

    • I agree. And my eyes leak so so much. She reminds me of my own pups. The Bigger The Love – The Bigger The Loss. ❤️❤️‍❤️

  10. Happy heavenly birthday Pluto! And thank you Nanci for sharing her with us, as well as your time grieving her. I knew there was a reason I was craving pizza today.

  11. Aww wee Pluto…you and your mum (Nancy) were gifted to us 3 years ago at a time when our world’s had all turned upside down. Timing was absolutely perfect.
    A lot of us went through Grieg on all different levels, losing our human loved ones…and equally as important a lot of us have lost and continue to grieve our fur babies too.
    So my darling Pluto….thank you for being you…
    Pizzas all round tonight…
    Miss you.
    Love forever in our hearts ♥

  12. Nancie,
    The years spent following/ listening to/ laughing with Pluto were amazing. She brightened our lives over and over during difficult times. You both are a gift to the world. Thank you– ❤️

  13. I lost my little mini schnauzer, Willy, three years ago this month. I’m sure he and Pluto have met each other by now and are romping up a storm! I miss them both! Thank you for sharing her with us.

  14. I am happy to be able to donate 3 bottles of goat milk to the baby elephants and though I wasn’t able to post as the posts were closed, I did so in honor of Pluto the most amazeball fur angel ever!!!

  15. Thinking of you on Pluto’s one year anniversary in Heaven. I’m sure my cats, Ruffie and Mercedes, are flying high in the sky with Pluto. ❤️‍

  16. Dear Nancie,

    You have a gift with words (and humor). Your letter is beautiful❤️. Actually, I read it several times yesterday and was too teary-eyed to reply.

    Thank you, for sharing your beloved Angel Buddy and yourself with us, and for continuing to post Pluto’s pictures, stories and videos on FB and her YouTuber Channel. I routinely go back to them. They really (four reallys!) bring me joy. Pluto just made the world brighter. She IS like the blue sky!!

    For sure, for sure tonight is Pizza Party Night in honor of sweet Pluto. Her pizza party playlist will be going and pizza bones dropping for our four-leggeds too!

    Whooshing you and ITBM tons of love and support today ❤️❤️❤️

    April 29th is a “pawfect” day for a Pluto Pizza Party!!!

    Heads High Hearts Open ❤️ Always ❤️

  17. Can’t believe it’s been a year; I remember crying as I read the post as if I had lost my own dog. You and Pluto shared so much humor, happiness and words of wisdom, I always looked for those posts first on Facebook.

    As my dogs are 17 and 13, I know I’ll be facing the same grief as you one day soon. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I enjoy the reruns and also your beautiful wildlife pictures.

  18. You really did a special thing with Pluto. I remember that first video of her, I must have played it 20x. It was so original, funny and heartwarming during that difficult time. The videos just got better and better and I couldn’t get enough of them. Thank you for that bright light. I’m glad to see Pluto popping up again, brings back good memories. You and Angel Pluto rock!

  19. Nanci, BTSM and Pluto “AngelBuddy”:

    In so many ways it hardly seems possible a year has passed since Pluto gained her wings. I still smile and feel that overwhelming Whoosh of Love with every heartfelt post she makes. We all grieve for you sweet Pluto and are so thankful your Moms keep your legacy going and continue to whoosh love into all our worlds. You will forever be in our hearts and there will be many snack pouches filled with Pizza in your honor tonight!

    We love you all… thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the light and laughter you’ve shared, continue to share!

    Heads high; hearts open Plutoverse!!
    ❤️

  20. You brought tears to my eyes this morning as I thought of her as I do all the time. So much joy and love from such a little package. I will enjoy your Pluto posts as long as your sparks tell you to post which I personally hope is a very long time! We are planning on pizza tonight in Pluto’s honor. Thank you for sharing her, yourself and all that wonderful wisdom!! Heads high Hearts open! ❤️

  21. I remember that sad day a year ago when we lost our dear friend Pluto. As I have said before, she belonged to all of us and the Plutoverse grieves with you and ITBM. She made the early days of Covid bearable and made us laugh when we felt like crying. I couldn’t wait for her next update and see what observation she had to share. She introduced us to some of the best Pluto-isms like snore meditations, snack pouch, walk around phone and button pants. She reminded us to be kind and spread love. There will never be another like her and I take comfort that she’s watching over all the Plutoverse. I hope you feel the Plutoverse hugging you and supporting you during the tough days. Here in the Vancouverlands we will be having pizza in her honour and my boy Cooper will be getting a few pizza bones too. Thank you again for sharing that amazing pup with us ❤️ I hear her singing Is this love, is this love, is this love that I’m feeling . Why yes, Pluto it is. It really, really, really, really (4 times really) is ❤️

  22. A year already! Pluto is still missed so very much. But tonight I shall have a pizza party in her honour and my own little four-legged buddy will be waiting for the pizza bones that will “accidentally” fall her way no doubt lol. Thank you mom and ITBM for continuing to respond to those sparks your angel buddy sends your way – long May we all share your journey ❤️❤️

  23. Gosh, a year already….. thank you Nancie, “BTS” Mom, and of course, Pluto for all the laughter, love , generosity, joy and beauty you have shared with us. Here come the water eyes! As I’ve said before, I love living in the Plutoverse! I sing the pizza song to my little buddy all the time. I enjoy watching a Pluto “rerun” from time to time and as soon as I hear her signature “Well, well , well I break into a smile. What a gift. Thank you. I know this is a tough day for you. ❤️☮️

  24. My heart breaks a little more today. Pluto ( and you) brought me so much laughter and happiness in such a unique way , that I shall never forget! When times got hard and the purple meanies were all around us , Pluto would put it all in perspective with a “heads high hearts open “. I often find myself saying those same words, and I laugh to myself, and shed a tear or two. Thank for sharing her , and you with me. You are truly blessed ❤️

  25. Nancie, your letter is beautiful. And generous as usual. Thank YOU and Pluto for all the wonderful gifts you’ve shared with all of us.

    • Three years ago I spent 2 months in medical care with an infection that was trying to kill me. Because of COVID I was not allowed a single visitor in all that time. But I discovered dear Pluto while surfing the internets, and I looked forward to each of her visits. She lit up my days and added love and laughter to my otherwise solitary life. I’ll be eating pizza in her honor today. Thank you, little angel, for leading me through some dark days. ❤️

  26. Pluto brought out the best in us! You are an awesome interpreter for the 4 leggeds. And I love how you describe her sparks ❤️ I believe!
    I had a little Lily bug who looked a lot like Pluto and she took care of me well for 14 years. I still think of her and feel her. But I never could use the words like you do, and your photography skills are amazeballs too. You are a true artist and just as Pluto blessed you, you blessed her. Thank you for giving us her first talk, I sent that to everyone! It was definitely my first real belly laugh that year.
    Whatever you decide to do, it will be the right thing, but I have to say that I still get a smile when I see something pop up as a memory. I will definitely have pizza tonight, sharing pizza bones with our little Johnny Cash (another magical mini schnauzer). Heads up hearts open! Thank you NJ and Pluto! We send you love

  27. it seems like u have done surprisingly well this past year.this has been an undescribable loss with an overwhelming grief.sounds like maybe a little someone was sticking around to help u get through this past year.it wouldnt surprise me.Pluto has a Big Soul.& there is so much Love between u two.but they cant stay forever.she needs to finish moving on to her new adventures.& u to yours.but she will always be in ur heart.until u meet again.

  28. Wow, I cannot believe it has been a year. Time flies. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Pluto made the unbearable days bearable. I thank you for that. Her videos still bring tears to my eyes and I appreciate all you do in support of animal organizations that need it. You are an amazing person and to share the heartbreak and laughter with us all means a lot ❤️❤️ thank you so much sending hugs

  29. I’m so lucky to be part of the Plutoverse and I hope that the sparks you feel will continue to bring us some Pluto remembers and repeaters. I enjoy them now as I did then and they achieve a smile just a bright each time. I wish you and in the background mom a lovely pizza party evening filled with memories of the wonderful Ms Pluto with all her sweet, kind and loving ways! ❤️ from the New Zealandlands

  30. A year, how can that be, it was only yesterday, it was four year ago. She was such a ray of sunshine. Loved her dancing in the kitchen and goat jumping for shear joy. Please continue to share her with us. She will live in my heart right along with my four little angels. Heads high and Hearts Open, Caroline

  31. Hi! Pluto was so refreshing during our trying times! She made me happy! I have her on my dresser so I can see her everyday. (I think my girls are a little jealous, but happy at the same time!) I know she is there with you and always will be and I hope she continues to ask you to post for her. I can’t imagine not hearing from her. Maybe she will have a new little sister soon that will carry on her love and silliness for her, but never forget her at all! Sending love to you, her Mommy! ❤️❤️❤️

  32. Whenever I make my pizzas… flour tortillas with pizza toppings… I love thin crust. I find myself signing a song. Yup you taught us well! One day I hope to safari

  33. In some of our most confusing of days, my hubby and I would sit together and watch Pluto’s hysterical antics. We learned a few things, felt a lot of things, crazy laughed, and fell in love with not only Pluto, but you too Nancie. We felt your loss and unfathomable pain from that sad day a year ago and have continued to follow both Pluto’s pages and yours. You are an amazing Creative – we will support you however we can. Blessings for a little girl pup that gave so much joy, and to you and behind the scenes mom for sharing her with us. Love always

  34. Nancie, AngelPluto and behind the scenes Mom — thanks you so much for creating the Plutoverse It has brought so many together in whooshing love during the tough times — her posts bring tears, laughter and joy when you share them. I will definitely be ordering more not-so-wild cards and some wild ones too — you have helped so many with your donations to Plutos favourite causes.
    Wishing you two Moms an evening of happy tears, pizza, pizza bones, happy juice and many memories on this momentous anniversary – I am sure she will be close by whooshing love to you. We will have some pizza and share bones with our duo of fur girls.
    Sending big hugs from the Vancouver Islandlands

  35. Dearest Nancie, Mom-in-the-background, and Angel Pluto,

    Your touching letter, the invitation to pizza night, and all of the lovely comments have me in tears. Your humor, humanity, and PlutoVocabulary have been a bright spot in this troubled world. I still love seeing the re-postings of Pluto, seeing your photographic adventures, and hearing your warmth and humor come through each post. The connection to all in the Plutoverse is palpable and meaningful, and will continue to be for as long as you wish to share. Thank you for this opportunity to connect with others and to celebrate the goofiness, wisdom, and love that Pluto brought to us.

    My gratitude and love to you from the Californialands. May it be of some comfort to know how much you’ve touched and meant something to so many. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  36. Nancy you are an incredible “PP” (pet parent as I call it), Pluto was magic and you guided her wand ever so lovingly. Your letter as always was very touching. She will as you are, will always be in our hearts❤️❤️❤️
    Much Love

  37. I will never be able to express the lift and swoosh of love that i received from Pluto and yourself Nancie. during the traumatic and unsettling times of the pandemic. It was a very uplifting moment every time there was a posting by Pluto. She kept things light. Thank you again for sharing that light.

  38. Pluto helped me to survive, with her wisdom and laughter, a most difficult time in the ‘worldlands’ history.
    I am more grateful than I can explain, and continue to love Pluto and her wise ‘Mom’, Nancie.
    Thank you for sharing.
    ❤️

  39. Your letter is beautiful. The tears came but they can’t last because every thought of Pluto brings instant joy. Thank you so much for continuing to post. And thank you for letting us travel with you on your safaris. Between you and Pluto, I know I’m going to smile often, and learn something too!

    On this sad anniversary I am holding you and Pluto close to my heart. And I’m whooshing lots of love to all in the Plutoverse!

  40. We will always remember & cherish our memories of Pluto during what were the most important times as we all worked out way through Covid. Pluto will forever be a part of you, and thank you for sharing Pluto’s love with us.

  41. Thank you, we still get the giggles of seeing Pluto on social pages. The loss of your best four legged friend is very hard, I still grieve and she’s been gone for two years. But they still walk beside every day in a special way. Forever in our ❤️ s. I still think the toilet paper is the best one, when you feel those purple meanies making a break though, think of the great times and all the joy Pluto gave to everyone. Always and forever Pluto pizza nights may live on. ❤️❤️❤️

  42. Thank you so much for continuing to write about Pluto and keeping her alive in our hearts. Most of all I appreciate knowing that my heartbreaking grief for my Geordie pup who died two months ago is something others have felt for their beloved pets and that it is okay that I’m not ‘over it’. Miss him many times each day.

  43. Dear Nancie, you and Pluto kept me going through the very scary times in 2020. I’m pretty sure there is nothing out there like the Plutoverse! What an amazing family we are! Every day when I signed into Facebook I couldn’t wait to see the post from Pluto for that day. Now I enjoy the flashback posts and YouTube videos. Every day I hug my two Makeship Plushes – Whooshing Love Pluto and the New Normals Pluto. My Pluto Living book sits on the end table by my couch. I treasure my set of Pluto cards that my boyfriend gave me. I could go on and on about Pluto and you and the adventures you took us on! Thank you for sharing your wit and your Pluto with us. You are always in my prayers especially tomorrow. HUGS and love.

  44. Thank you to you and Pluto for making life a little easier during almost 3 years of isolation and fear. You made a difference in my life. I’ll never forget her first post I read about toilet paper! I forwarded it to everyone I love to give them a chuckle thst day. May your grief ease, as year two begins. Be kind to yourself as you traverse the memories of the wonderful joy of Pluto and her passing. There is no timeline. Peace to you. Karen

  45. Our Pluto Angel!
    So grateful you shared your wisdom with us, and got us through our darkest days. You live in my heart, baby girl. You always will! Thank you moms for sharing your best girl with us!
    Pizza all around tomorrow! Cookies tonight

  46. Nancie, your Pluto posts helped me through the passing of my Dad in June 2020. Now that we are approaching Pluto’s Angel Buddy anniversary tomorrow, I just wanted you to know how much the Plutoverse’s shared grief also helped me get through the passing of my fur babies.
    First, Finn in May of last year and then Lilly in February of this year. ️

  47. She had me at one of her first messages to us…Her ” BUM ” discussion. Pluto made me want to be a better person. She put love in my heart. ❤️ I looked for her everyday . She was amazing. How I cried when she passed and still miss her.Please continue to share your angel buddy with us. I will be celebrating her life by filling my snack pouch with pizza and sending all my whooshing love to you both

  48. I love that you are continuing to share the Plutoverse! It continues to make me laugh and smile every post you send. I know that Pluto is watching and loving all of it too.
    ❤️❤️

  49. Whooshing you, your angel buddy, & ITBM loads of love today, all the way from the downunderlands We will be having a pizza party in Pluto’s honour tonight and play some of her YouTubers to reminisce. Let the sparks continue. Such beautiful memories and the love in the Plutoverse just goes on and on ❤️ ❤️

  50. Dear Nanci and Pluto (the angelbuddy)
    Thank you so much for sharing your life advice and for always making me smile and even laugh out loud with all of Pluto’s shenanigans! I always felt uplifted by her posts and miss her dearly. Sending some healing light and sparks to you as you go through this time.
    Big whooshes to you all!

  51. Sending you big hugs and lots of love on what will be another hard first. Our little furry friends burrow into our hearts and leave an imprint so large that never leaves. Pluto and you, Nancie, came at a time when more than any other time we needed positivity, humour, reminders to be kind and what is important in this world. You and Pluto changed many of us and gave us hope. You certainly made the world a better place. Thank you for sharing your grief journey with us. We grieve with you and for you. I’ll be thinking about Pluto today, I’m in Australia from Vancouver as my daughter marries in May. I’ll eat some snacks in Pluto’s honour! Take care and feel our whooshing love! ❤️

  52. A year ago was a sad day for you and all of us who loved dear sweet Pluto. I loved reading your letter and how you are honouring your mischievous girl. I look up at her book and her stuffie I have and it always brings a smile. I love that you repost some her lessons. Love her use of words, sayings (really really really really – 4 reallys) and the love between you. Pluto taught us and gave us important life lessons. I am grateful for her and for you, Nancie. Our world needs more Pluto and Mom. ❤️

  53. I sm reading all these wonderful heartfelt feelings put into words describing the happiness Pluto gave us. There isn’t anything that can describe it. My father passed away yesterday and reading your thank you note Nancie and all the responses, in some way allows me to surrender my own grief to the universe.

  54. What a beautiful message you and Pluto continue to share with us all… love, joy and laughter…. It is all just the best! My husband and I are on vacation in Hawaii right now and when we read your message today he immediately said we were having pizza for lunch to honor Pluto!!

  55. Nancy and ITBM,

    I think of you and Pluto daily. Your posts of Pluto bring so much joy to all of us in the Plutoverse. We miss her deeply and will be thinking of you especially tomorrow. I just finished some left over pizza, but will you give me permission to eat some more tomorrow??

    Your Pluto Living book sits propped up on my desk. Brings a daily smile!! I have a Schnauzer (6 previous ones too) and LOVE their personalities. Hopefully one day soon you will feel comfortable to give the love you gave Pluto to another special fur baby. I promise it will bring great joy to your heart and Pluto will approve.

    Holding you in our hearts and please continue to share memories and your fabulous African wildlife photos.

    You are deeply loved by so many….Heads High…Hearts Open

  56. Dear Nanci! Everyday my devotion journal starts out No Fear then followed with Head high Heart Open! You and Pluto hang on my wall of love and her book stands beside my treasures so I can see them all the time! My tee is not yet worn for fear of pizza splatter and cookie droppings! The joy of watching Plutos videos over and over keep her close. I am so happy to hear that you are open and receptive to the Sparks! I know in my soul Pluto is with you always. It makes my heart happy she now travels the world with you in and out of the bush taking those amazing pictures of the amazing creatures so many of us will never see in their habitat. I will donate I. Honor of Pluto and her Moms to the elephant one. Much love hugs and prayers from afar!!! Thank you so much for sharing your view and your buddy with us. Peace and Prosperity be yours.

  57. The loss of a pet is tremendous. Your letter was very impactful. We lost our dog last year as well and we miss him every day. Take good care and thank you for sharing Pluto with all of us

  58. Thankyou Nancie for all the kindness and love you have shared to make this world a better place. Your sweet little dog and your creative talents have brought joy, laughter, tears in different flavours and a community bond across this planet. Hard to believe what you two have accomplished! I hope that you have the strength to continue posting and sharing that wonderful sense of humour. Virtual Hugs

  59. I’m bawling my eyes out by what you wrote. I miss her terribly, but nowhere near as much as you and ITBM. Pluto was hilarious, full of opinions, had the best university of random facts and knowledge, and could goat jump like no other. Please know how much the Plutoverse loves you and each other. We are here with out arms wrapped around you.
    ❤️

  60. Thank you Nancie. I do miss you two. The letter is a tear jerker. You two helped us through some really bad times (which seem to continue). And since pizza is a weekly event here, we will have some with you tomorrow. Love you two, Nancy

  61. Nancie and Mom in the background – I know and feel your loss as well. Pluto saved a lot of us during a dark time and brought us joy. We looked forward to her posts. I am so happy that she continues to send you messages and I know you welcome those. Sharing your journey also helped us through our loss of Pluto as well. I keep her book on my coffee table and look at it often – she was so very wise. Love and hugs!

  62. I have been thinking about you and your Angel Girl all week! As I read the notes above it started the watery eyes right onto my computer keyboard. Pluto touched my life in so many ways. I hope she will continue to send us little messages.
    I know it is so hard to lose your best friend. My little Sesame is waiting at the Rainbow Bridge, maybe she is even playing with Miss Pluto. My little Mitzi is sleeping in her bed near my feet.
    Thank you for bring so much joy into our lives!

    Whooshing lots of love your way.

  63. Greetings from Idaholands (or Potatolands). I love your posts and hope you keep posting. We said goodbye to our Cocoa just two months after you said goodbye to Pluto. So my guardian angel is up there running around with yours. We too will celebrate with Pizza. Hugs being sent your way.

  64. Words seem inadequate. We all fell in love with Pluto and have felt her loss. We’re thankful you chose to share her with us and continue to do so. We’ll certainly celebrate her life on the anniversary of her loss.

  65. Nanci, Please don’t EVER take Pluto’s posts down! A good share of her posts are relevant for our every day live. She is part of the COVID-19 history books. It is our connection to you as well!❤️
    When is that Pluto cruise coming?

  66. Dear Nanci,
    I owe so much to you and Pluto for helping me get through the Covid years and beyond. Pluto with her uncanny, numerous way of making the ordinary special with her songs and jokes that gave me the giggles every time. I will honor her with pizza and I’ll be thinking of you as I know how hard it is to have lost the precious, beautiful soul, Pluto. I picture her by your side wherever you are in the world, and I feel one day you both will be reunited in the afterlife dimension. God bless you and peace ☮️ be with you.

    • My heart goes to you and ITBM at this anniversary of your little buddy… Your immeasurable care, humor and love shared with the Plutoverse is beyond the best!.. Please do not ever go away – you or Pluto.,.. You brighten so many days for all of us. And I hope it helps you just a little to know that tug at your heart is shared by all of us. Your head is always high and your heart has always been open to all of us. Whooshing huge amounts of love.

    • In our house this “Friday is Pizza Night” will be bitter sweet, as we take a few moments to remember my Lacey Jane (died April 28,2016) and this year we will also celebrate the life of sweet Pluto. As my Sophie hides her pizza bones I will be missing and celebrating all those before her. Every single little 4legged soul takes a piece of our heart with them when they go. My heart goes out to everyone out there who has loved and lost. Nancie, you could never have guessed the impact Pluto would have on the world when you made that 1st post, but I for one am so thankful you did! You gave us a place to come to that was always love and light. Thank you. We love you ❤️

  67. Beautiful words to celebrate this anniversary. Reading your special memories of your angel buddy made my eyes leak. Lost my furbaby in October. Pizza for me tomorrow in her memory.

  68. Heads High Hearts Open .Always in my heart. Thank you for sharing those beautiful times and the painful ones. It seems there is not one without the other. Pray you will keep sharing Pluto’s love with us. Love to you and all Plutoverse as she has taught us to love.

  69. Dear Nancie and ITBM, thank you so much for continuing to share dear sweet Pluto with us….I know it is hard when we lose our beloved fur babies….I lost my little Abby 5 1/2 years ago…her and Pluto could have been twins….I now have Ally who could also be a twin to Pluto (she is 5 1/2 years old) and what a spit fire she is….all of the special postings that you shared with us starting 3 years ago were a definite blessing to everyone in the Plutoverse…I think of Pluto everyday as I watch my little girl play with her toys, do her goat jumping and just plain be silly….they are so special that it is hard to pick one favorite thing that you love about them…….so thank you for continuing to share your sweet baby Pluto with us and we will continue to keep your Angelbaby in our thoughts and hearts along with you and ITBM…..we will definitely be celebrating Pizza day tomorrow in Pluto’s honor.

  70. I have watery eyes from your eloquently written letter. I am so grateful for all that you and Pluto have shared. While Pluto was with us, I anticipated your posts every day with joy!
    Like many other respondents, I too feel like I know you and Pluto and that you are my dear friends.
    Please keep posting as long as you are willing and able. I know I will continue to appreciate you and Pluto.
    Whooshing you much love from the Floridalands.❤️❤️

  71. I cannot believe it’s been a year. Please, please, please continue to post to Pluto’s pages if you can! Happy or sad, I love the memories. Pluto remains a force, even if she’s not here physically. And if it weren’t for you and Pluto, I would have never known of the great work of the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. Pizza for all in her honor!!

  72. It is so hard! My wish for you and also for ITBM is for peace and light and love with Pluto always in your hearts. We are in the North Carolinalands, and we lost our little schnauzer Sophie in September 2022. I hope that Pluto and Sophie have found each other and are playing together. That mental picture helps me smile through the tears. I have Pluto’s book and I will love your posts for as long as you are willing to write them… they help me heal too.

  73. It will be PIZZA down in the Kiwilands… What can one say, when you have Leaky Eyes. Sparks… Yes I can relate to that. Sparkle on beautiful Angel Buddy, keep filling the world with your gorgeous LIGHT.

  74. Thanks Nancie! Lock down wouldn’t have been nearly as tolerable without the wit and wisdom you channeled through Pluto for the rest of us to laugh at in spite of the unknown, unforeseeable thing that was running rampant. It seems I’m not alone in the “missing” that Pluto left. When something reminds me of her presence I mile-maybe with a tug at my heart, we all miss her and so grateful you find moments when her spark makes you laugh, you’ll have more of those in time than tears but let the process unfold however it does for you. Sending you BIG hugs from the Central Coast of California!

  75. Whooshing you and the Plutoverse much love as you celebrate the Legacy of Pluto! May your memories bring you peace and comfort. Thank you for bringing about this wonderful community in her name! ❤️

  76. Much love and hugs coming from the Mainelands! I admire how you (via Pluto)have been able to reach around the world with your humor and positivity during these divisive days! I do go back and watch some of my favorite Pluto movies/lessons. Tomorrow I will have pizza with fish sticks on the side!

  77. Thank you, Pluto’s Mom for sharing this wonderful message! I did need a couple of tissues while reading this but they are just tears of joy and sadness mixed with love for you and Pluto on the first anniversary of your loss of this very special and precious girl. We loved everything that you shared with Pluto and still love seeing these fb postings and this message. Thanks for the memories! She always brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart, especially these past few years! Sending lots of love & hugs to you! 🙂

  78. I had to stop briefly to wipe a bit of tears from my eyes before I could type this. I am so grateful you were able to share the Pluto message and certainly hope you will continue. I have a set of her cards, no longer complete because, well, my wife and I have used them for a few messages to friends. I also have a copy of her book sitting on my desk, and take a peek every once in a while if I need a little diversion.

  79. Whooshing you love, pizza, and continued sparks! As so many have said above, thank you for sharing Pluto and your love for each other and the worldlands with all of us! There are times and people, critters and Creation when the Holy shines through. You and Pluto have gifted us all in so many shiny ✨️ and holy ways and moments during such challenging times! May the Plutoverse shine with the Holy for you as it has for so many of us!

  80. Please continue to share your journey and re-runs of Pluto’s videos. They bring me great joy! We lost our little fur baby a few months before Pluto left her earthly home. Your journey helps me and I feel your pain and loss with great empathy. I feel as though I knew Pluto personally and I mourn her loss as well. She was, and still is, a gem!!

  81. I have her book and my Plushie ready to share our pizza tomorrow and will definitely howl at the moon.
    Thankyou Nancie for sharing your journey with us.

  82. I love when the remembers pop up. They always seem to show up just when I need a good laugh and to remember some of the shenanigans Pluto shared with us. Hope the posts continue for years to come.

    ❤️❤️❤️
    Kris

  83. Thank you, mom, for sharing Pluto with us. I found her when I was struggling to make sense out of the COVIDS. I’m a “huggie” person so I was missing so much. That sweet girl made me belly laugh and find joy in my small world ever day. We lost our sweet girl, Mollie, shortly before the shut down. The world changed so quickly I don’t think I ever truly grieved her. When you, and we, said goodbye to Pluto all that pent up grief came forward. Thank you for sharing your grief as I experienced many of the same “firsts”. We have Pluto on our fridge and I rewatch her videos often and I still smile and laugh. They say grief is love with no wear to go. Thank you for whooshing that love to us. We WILL fill our snack pouches with pizza on the 29th and share some pizza bones with our pooches. Much love whooshing back at you!

    • Chris here again…. As I reread my comment I find I’m feeling the meanies at the autocorrects! But the feelings were pure even if the grammar wasn’t! Whooshing more love on Angel Buddy Day. ❤️

  84. Pluto got a lot of us through quarantine with joy and laughter, even when there was nothing to feel joyful about. I experienced 4 major losses in 6 mos, and Pluto’s Legal Disclaimer video, made me laugh so hard I was crying and I had to watch again, just to get everything. A great belly laugh is good for the soul! I laughed just as hard every time Iwatched it. I shared this video with so many and it really did help us keep our Heads High and Hearts Open. Pluto really got me through to the other side. I think an Angel Pluto could still give us messages.

  85. Thank you Plutoverse. During covids I took a lot of walks. I was on a wooded path and met a Pluto look-alike. I ask her mom if I could pet her. (The Dog) I told her she reminded me of Pluto. Her mom excitedly said, “You know Pluto too !” It made both our days.

  86. I was struggling at the time Pluto introduced herself to the world. With the Covids and the staying at home, not hugging friends, it was a tough time. Pluto made me laugh like nothing else could. Thank you, Mom, for sharing your sweet girl with us and for continuing her universe. We need love and kindness just as much today as we did 3 years ago. I will have pizza in her honor on Saturday evening. And will share pizza bones with Rhody and Dusty.

  87. Ohhhhhh Nancy, my heart is with you 100%. We owe you such a debt of gratitude for the joy, love and memories you and Pluto gave us, not just through Covid, but also each time you post a memory, you warm our hearts. It is just 25 months since the vet came to our house to help our dear Whisky take her last journey, and while we shall never forget her, I find myself now wanting to give a home once again to a dog. My wish for you is that you will one day feel that way as well. Thanks to you, people world wide had the opportunity to receive and whoosh love to Pluto, you, and others. We learned a new language as well as lots of tidbits of info as we attended Pluto University. Bless you dear for sharing Pluto with us.

  88. With my head held high, I look forward to continuing to follow those precious sparkles along the Plutoverse path with you as we lovingly remember sweet Pluto and all of her shenanigans and wisdom that has well and truly opened all of our hearts with her magic! Thank you Nancie and #AngelBuddy

  89. Hi Nance, This past year has been a tough one for me as well. My baby Sadie passed on May 2nd, so one year for me too. I miss her beyond words, like Pluto she was a special dog. Got me through a lot of difficult times in my life.
    When I found your page for Pluto during the pandemic it brought me such joy. You and Pluto made a stressful time so much better with your charm and witty videos.
    I hope that Pluto won’t be your last furbaby. I think she would want you to share your love with another pup. Maybe soon you will be ready but until then keep whooshing love when inspired.
    Thank you for everything ❤️
    Nancy

  90. In a time when our world was confusing and difficult due to the pandemic, when we were unable to see our loved ones, young and old, I stumbled upon Pluto and her mom. They brought rays of sunshine, laughter and love to sometimes long and sad days. Knowing that Pluto was up to her shenanigans, watching Neville, wearing her socks and PJs, and giving up tips on navigating our new reality was a pure, loving gift given to us by NJ – sharing her love of Pluto, then her grief with complete strangers. I am a furbaby mom and have angel buddies as well. Here’s to pizza tomorrow while reading Pluto’s book. Thanks Nancy and take care ❤️

  91. Thanks for the reminder of Pizza and Pluto. I get squirty eyes when I read about your love for her. I am right there with you for Sammmy, 11 years old and counting.

  92. I love and miss Pluto too. I know the kind of pain you are feeling and it’s awful, but it’s so important that it be honoured, and I’m so glad that you are sharing your journey with us. So many of us here in the Plutoverse have known a special fur buddy like Pluto – one that really was a kindred spirit or kind of soulmate. And I believe that the love that forms those kinds of bonds is never really broken and never dies.
    We are here with you and for you. I think I will treat myself to something special for my snack pouch tomorrow and make a little toast to sweet Pluto.
    Much love from the Albertalands to you and in the background mom.

    Deanne

    P.S. My husband sends his best and wanted to mention that, although he is not using Wikilickipedia very much these days, he does regularly ask Mr. Googlies questions, as per Pluto’s recommendation.

  93. You and Pluto were just what we needed and just when we needed it. You mean so much for all you gave us. I will still look to your posts if you choose to continue. Thank you for your sharing. Hugs and licks from my 4 legged and pizza it will be ❤️

  94. Thanks for all the joy Pluto whooshed to all of us during the Covidtimes. You both brought lots of loving sparks to so many. Keep on whooshing memories and stories as long as you want to. Take care.

    • I loved that little girl and miss her profoundly. Thank you, Mum, for keeping her memory alive for all of us

  95. A beautiful tribute to your Angelbuddy. Our furbabies are our family, whether past or present, and live on forever. I continue loving seeing Pluto videos and posts. She always brings joy.

  96. Happy Gardian Angel Buddy – anniversary ❤ you still bring me healing, love, smiles, joy and tons of nonsense! Thanks (an abundance of) to you and your Moms for sharing you with the PLUTOVERSE! Know that we will be celebrating you tomorrow with my 4 legged kids and my 2 legged ones too. Pepperoni pizza and lots of pizza bones all around.

    • So so loving these videos. I cried so hard when she
      Past. Lost my Beth 9/14/22 so having My Own firsts.
      Sweet Pluto say hi to my Beth.

  97. So beautifully written. ❤️
    You have such a way with words. You and Pluto must have had so many delightful and creative conversations!
    Miss Pluto and love having all your new animal adventures to embrace!

  98. Tears streaming down my cheeks as I read your letter, with intermittent flashes of smiles. Thank you for sharing Pluto and Pluto Angel with us. Thank you for sharing your pure, deep, ever-lasting love for her – and her for you – with us. Thank you for reminding us that our pets are gifts with an infinitesimal capacity to give, give and give.
    As for pepperoni pizza? YES!!
    Hugs and much love,
    Carol and Lily, my little schnauzer

  99. Wishing you love, comfort and fond memories on this anniversary. You and Pluto made the tough days of the pandemic so much more bearable. Thank you for sharing her.

  100. So grateful for your beautiful Pluto and for sharing your journey. You both have made the world a better place. Whooshing much love from the foot of the Colorado Rockies.

  101. Nancie, Anniversaries can be SO difficult. We in the Plutoverse are so grateful for all of your posts about Pluto before and since her passing. Don’t ever stop. ❤️

  102. Love and renewed condolences to you. It’s so tough when those fur babies leave us behind. You and she created such a refuge for troubled minds when the world was shut down. Thank you for all the smiles. I can tell everyone I now have a very special University Education. Your sense of humour has sustained many. Hope it continues to guide you through the labyrinth of grief. Much love.

  103. Oh man, wet eyes alert.
    You write so beautifully Nancie. I can’t believe it’s been a year. I often think of Pluto and you and wonder how 2 amazing spirits I never met seem to touch me so much (in a non creepy way) I’ll give my cheeky schnauzer Corky an extra big hug tonight, oh and maybe a bit of pizza

  104. Nanci and Angel Pluto,
    You both have touched all of our lives. I waited daily for our Princess’s takes of her adventures. I have her book and forever keep reading it. Please always keep her adventures posted. She is still with us. Sending Angel Pluto and Nanci continued love

  105. Thank you for continuing to share Pluto with us. I love seeing your memories of her and hope you will continue to share with us. She was a bright light in a dark time.
    Pizza time in honor of Pluto tomorrow, can’t wait. Swooshing love❤️

  106. Thank you so much Nancie for the 3 Years of Pluto…she gave us so many reasons to laugh even when it was difficult. You, Nancie, created this and it helped many…
    And you continue to share her memories mixed with your amazing photos and travels.
    I don’t know you personally, but love you nevertheless…❤️

  107. What a beautiful letter. Am keeping you in my heart on the 29th. I know how hard the loss can be. Celebrating your angel with a pizza party is a brilliant idea. I hope that you will be surrounded with love and that your memories and you Angel Buddy will help to have some giggles and smiles along with the tears.
    P.S. Thanks for the wet eyes! Remembering Pluto and what a blessing the 2 of you have been is always special

  108. Thank you so much for sharing her with me. Pluto’s love got me through some terrible moments. I love the memories.

  109. Thank you for making me laugh and smile through a very difficult time. Started my day with a smile and ended it the same way ❤️

  110. Thank you little puppy for coming into our lives. Hard to believe you’ve been gone a year. Please keep watch over us from your Pluto heavens ✨️✨️✨️Whooshing you happy dancing ,pizza and doggie treats.

  111. Reading your message was beautiful and heavy at the same time. The love you have for your precious Angel buddy coupled with your intense grief is palpable . The blessing of Pluto and all you shared will live on forever in your heart and in many of our hearts. You both are gifts to us and we think of you often. Whoosing love.

  112. The best thing I’ve found through social media is Nancy and her beloved Pluto. I feel connected to a community of wonderful people I may never meet in person. We’re all joined in real life through our deep affection for the one-in-a-million dog named Pluto. Humor helped heal us in the dark days of the pandemic and I’m truly grateful.

  113. I know Pluto hated cats. Pluto came into my life shortly after I had put my sweet cat Miss Kitty to sleep in March 2020. Miss Kitty was 16 it’s been 3 years since her passing. My dad passed in July of 2020 Pluto brought a lot of joy and laughter in my life. I miss Pluto very much.

  114. I broke out in tears I miss her every day her permimeter checking snack pouch ! I gave her book glass mug plush toy with pouch bag cards and her T shirt it’s the most precious thing I own. She helped me through tough times – a 31 yr marriage ending my nephew tragically dying in electric bike accident and trying to manage my health ! God bless you Nanci wish the tears would stop I can’t see

  115. Please continue to post for as long as you want to. I personally look forward to them. Miss Pluto but I know it is not as much as you miss Pluto. I know all too well those feelings of grief as not that long ago I lost my fur baby. Prayers of peace and tranquility.

  116. Dear Nancy ~
    Thank you for sharing Pluto with the world when you did. I was captivated with her instantly, and started telling people about her with a suggestion to follow her on Facebook and sunscribe on YouTube – and many of them have done so.

    Your eloquent words describing your feelings and journey during the past 12 months have resonated and touched me in a very personal way.

    April 29th is also a day of importance to me. My beloved Mother was ripped away from this world by CoViD-19 on April 29th, 2020 at 02:12 CST. Her story of life is an amazing one. The story of her unnecessary death is tragic and traumatic.
    You have been navigating your way thru the immense grief that came to be with your beloved Pluto’s passing. I watch you in awe, and am amazed at how you are coping and trying to find a new normal for yourself. It has been 3 years for me – and I can best describe where i am as being on a ship adrift on an ocean of grief with no lighthouse to guide me. I am who I am and how I am because of her. Everything good about me is due to her. She was the one constant in my life – and no matter where in the world I was, just knowing she was always within reach gave me as much strength as her existence gave me purpose.

    I will be participating in the Pizza Night for Pluto, and am heading over to the Playlist on YouTube now to give it a preview.

    Once again – thank you for sharing dear Pluto with the world, as she certainly was a light in the dark for so many. And thank you for being you, and sharing your own version of sprinkles of light, positivity and and love.

    Kindest regards ~
    kathryn

  117. Nancie. you have written a beautiful letter for the one-year anniversary of your dear sweet Pluto’s passing and please continue posting Pluto’s pages as we do love seeing them and staying connected! xxxx

    • Thank you Nancie,
      I totally agree with the above note. Your letter is beautiful I love everything about Pluto / you / Plutoverse
      Please know
      I’d love if you continue to post on Pluto when you can !♥️

  118. As I sit on the couch with my new little one, Pixie, and read your letter, I am overcome with gratitude for getting to know you and Pluto. Pixie is from cockapoo land and is a version of our angelbuddy. I never would have thought about another dog until I met Pluto. Thank you souch for the inspiration.She completed me. Big smoochies and hugs from us tomorrow and may you feel angelbuddy kisses all day tomorrow.

  119. As a Mom to two crazy 4 leggeds now and the memory of two angel 4 leggeds, I share your love and loss. Please continue to share as it reminds me of the love and that it is always there.

  120. The Plutoverse is an amazing community that she created in difficult times. I think that all of us will be forever grateful to her and you, for making us all laugh in very dark times. I thank you for sharing her and hope that you have more happy sparks with her than not. This plutoverse is her legacy and has helped you to generate much needed funds for charity so kudos to you and Pluto!

  121. Nancie your letter was beautiful…I had tears. Whooshing you and INBM much love for tomorrow and I’ll be sending a pizza snack for dear Pluto in the memory post. Can’t seem to do it here. I do hope you continue to share with us all your memories as we still love them all 🙂 but if it’s too hard on you, I’m sure everyone will understand. Take good care of yourselves 🙂

  122. I know what a tough day this is. Mine was in January, and I burst into tears several times that day, even though I weep any day. I picked a favorite photo of my “Chicken(Piper)” and blew it up to a 12X12 and put it right on the wall by the bed so I see it the first and last part of the day. I hope, because you have so much of Pluto, you are not overwhelmed by sharing her with us still. I hope it is helping you because we really appreciate your generosity. I have the cards and the book and still hear her voice when I see/ read them. We are with you this day Nanci, so feel the big whoosh of love being sent to you from everyone and feel the bear hug I am giving you.

  123. Thank you for lavishing the love and affection of a special Schnauzer and her mom on a world gone mad. My Abby (my sweet Schnauzer companion). and I listened to each and every single episode. Many times with laughter, and other times with tears. Always shared with friends. And always Abby and I cuddled together while listening. Abs crossed over before Pluto. So her blanket and I snuggled after that. We are always, always here for you. Keep sharing. You are like family. Continued love and prayers and hugs for you and Pluto’s other mom.

  124. Thank you for the letter as I am sobbing in the parking lot. The C.S. Lewis quote says it all, doesn’t it?
    That little creature whooshed me through the pandemic, so much love and laughter from that very first toilet paper video, and yes, cats still don’t matter Think of you often and wishing you continued love and angelic guidance from Pluto❤️

  125. Pluto was a force beyond anything I am sure you could even imagine. How can a little hairy body, a wet nose, four legs and a wagging tail be the blessing we all need in this crazy world.
    Thank you eternally for sharing your humour, compassion and photography with the world of the Plutoverse. Heads high and hearts open forever

  126. I love seeing random photos and memories of Pluto. I know it must be hard for you to do, so thank you for still sharing you beautiful fur baby with us.
    Will be whooshing lots of love and hugs tomorrow

  127. “a Plutoverse of epic proportions” indeed. And yet, a Plutoverse that felt (and feels) so individually tailored to each member. You both are truly loved, and you have expanded our hearts. Thank you.

    I’m looking forward to Oct in Kenya.

  128. Pluto you will always be in my heart! Thank you for making me smile, laugh and learn!
    4ever in my ❤️

  129. You and Pluto brought us so much joy and laughter during that awful time when the world shut down. Losing a fur baby is never easy, I’ve been through it too. It’s our memories that sustain us and knowing they are in a better place, across the rainbow bridge. ❤️ ❤️

  130. There are So many of us who loved Pluto and still love her memory. We also love that you continue to keep her with us….thank you!

  131. NJ you continue to light the world. Thank you for sharing Pluto…she created a verse we collectively sing to remind us how to navigate the world with love. I’ll always be grateful to you, and her, and all of us. I’ll honor her with and ️❤️

  132. Pluto and you will never know how many smiles you gave throughout the Plutoverse, but I hope you can feel the love and friendship poured out to you both from across all the lands! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Heads high, hearts open is the perfect anthem! Love and hugs, Monica & her Lucy ❤️❤️

  133. Please continue to share Pluto memories with us!! We all love her and continue to think about her and our hearts will be sad if you don’t share your memories or thoughts with us!!

  134. I miss Pluto too. She gave us lots of laughs while I worked at home. She also looks just like Buster, my mom’s dog who came to live with me when she passed. I have 2 stuffed Pluto’s. Bought 1 for me 1 for friend, she did the same, love your wildlife posts too!!

  135. As a mom currently to 4 4-legged kiddo’s and so many more in my lifetime, including 2 tenacious schnauzer’s, Pluto brought me so many laughs and opened up my imagination to what my kids sound like when we have our conversations.

  136. Well,well,well!!! I miss hearing Pluto’s voice on your posts and the videos too. Nothing lasts forever and this world goes on. However, I still enjoy your posts and hope you continue to do so.

  137. My heart aches for you Mom! Pluto was so special to all of us in the Plutoverse so I can only imagine how you feel. Just reading your message gave me watery eyes! A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of sweet Pluto. Like when we have pizza, when there is a full moon, when I describe to my friends how ”wordle”was a trickster word that day! I don’t think I ever used the word trickster until I met Pluto in the Plutoverse. I’ve incorporated some of her other cute sayings into my everyday vernacular. I know all of us still love seeing Pluto repeaters and hearing those five magical words: Hi everyone, it’s me Pluto! Please know, we’ll all be with you in spirit tomorrow and everyday! Thank you for sharing sweet Pluto with us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  138. You and your little buddy gave us all
    A reason to smile during COVID! Your imagination and creativity through Pluto was amazing! Every day I couldn’t wait to see what antics or wisdom she was spreading! Her voice was like a friend you were wanting for. Thank you! Keep on sharing and swooshing!! Remembering with ❤️!

  139. Please continue to share your journey with us. Pluto is forever in our hearts. Although the pandemic seems to be a dim memory, the impact you and Pluto made on so many people is a lasting one. Keep the sparks coming our way. We still need love and light to see the path forward.

  140. I remember exactly where I was when you shared the news that Pluto was now an angel. I cried. I knew her time on earth was coming to an end but it still hit me hard. She shared so much love, wisdom and laughter with us the short time you shared her with us. The Plutoverse thanks you for that. I miss her. I’m sending hugs and love to your family. Please keep sharing her with us. ❤️

  141. Thank you, Nancie for your continued thoughts and open heart. Please continue, if you have a mind to, to post her special meanderings with us. She was and is such a special girl and is not at all forgotten. Your sharing your grief and your continued joys of all she brought are as welcome today as they were before. Oscar and I will be doing a special howl for her and you all, our Plutoverse family, tomorrow! Heads high, hearts open.

  142. Nancie, you thank us, the plutoverse, for being the fir you the past year when in reality it is us who should be thanking you for sharing Pluto with us. Sharing her her wisdom and humor. Making us smile day after day. Please never stop sharing and providing us memories of #angelbuddy. She is a part of our lives and lives in our hearts everyday. To you out deepest sympathy on your loss of your buddy. That she is still with you in so many ways warms my heart. Whooshing you love today and always. Special hug sent your way. Heads High Hearts Open

  143. Cannot believe it has been a year Thank you for sharing Pluto with us during a time of such confusion, fear, anxiety, for some loneliness. Thank you also for allowing us to grieve and chuckle with you this past year – it was healing for many.

  144. We who have had the greatest honor of having a wonderful partner to travel through this thing called life understand what you are feeling. So many days and nights are spent thinking (and hoping to feel once again) the ones who are now travelling without us. Each one has taken a bit more of our hearts and the wonder is how can we continue? But we do. And we remember. We remember the babies that they once were, getting into everything. We remember the learning to become the most wonderful of friends. We remember the travelling buddy that they became. We remember the getting older and slower and the realization that time is ticking by.(where did all of those years go???) We remember the inevitable decision that they made. That they were tired. That they needed to go for awhile. We remember that gift. The one we kept to them of no more pain or not enjoying this game anymore. And we remember telling them that we love them. Always. The last words that they heard as they slept was “I love you my baby. I love you.” We all understand and feel the loss with you and will always remember her love too. Stay safe and we’ll see them again

  145. Thank you for continuing to share your sweet pup with us, Nancie. I love when the memories come up. She can always brighten my day. Please continue to share. You are now a part of my family. I will be out of touch on the weekend, so here is an early pizza bone for Pluto. Treasure the memories.

  146. Nancie we will always miss her as you made her a part of our lives as well for which I will always be grateful. I hope you continue to make posts of her as well as your wild life posts. Thanks so much!

  147. Thanks for continuing to share stories about stour awesome Pluto! You were both sparks during covid and continue to be! Every time I have pizza I think of your stories and offer the bones to my pup! You gave Pluto an awesome life and she gave you many great memories!!

  148. God blessed you with Pluto, and you in turn blessed the rest of us when you shared her with the world during such a bizarre time in our lives.

  149. Nanci, I can’t even express how Pluto and you got me through the pandemic. I and my 2 schnauzers looked forward to Pluto’s posts. (Our two questioned Mom, how can you look at another schnauzer!) if you are ever in the Saratoga/Albany area, my wife and I would love to meet you and talk schnauzers . Love your work!

  150. Hi it brought tears to my eyes reading this but nice tears I used to show your pluto posts with my sister who had learning disabilities. Through the COVID time you made her laugh a lot but she passed away 2 years gone February with cancer but it makes me smile when I see your posts and hope my sister is looking over my shoulder laughing as well thankyou x❤️

  151. I so miss this little spark. She brought a smile to my face. And every time I think of her I still smile! I’m glad you are celebrating her and hope you continue to post some of her memories. Hugs to you, mom! Party on!

  152. I miss Pluto too!!! She helped me a lot when my beloved pup Skye Blue died in May 2020. It’s hard when they are such loving companions I made the decision to open my heart again in March 22 I hope you’ll do the same at some point I know Pluto would smile down on any new puppy you chose to love thank you for continuing to share the Plutoverse with us.

  153. Heads high, hearts open. Thank YOU, Nancie, for sharing this sweet, funny girl with us. At the beginning of the pandemic, this was my go-to spot for some relief from the craziness that had become my world. Maybe just a different kind of craziness, but so welcomed! I will stay the course of the Plutoverse, as long as you care to let me. Getting to know Pluto is getting to know you. I feel that in “real life” we could be great pals! xoxo

  154. Pluto inspired you to share to the Plutoverse words of wisdom and fun. Between the two of you, you shed light and laughter into a very dark time in our lives. I will never forget laughing out loud about the loo rolls or lack of them and Pluto’s views on why the four legged needed them!
    Thank you.
    Thank you for sharing your journey since losing Pluto, my girl Ruby followed in June last year. She was brave, tenacious and spunky, losing a battle to the debilitating disease of Degenerative Myelopathy but never losing her spirit and zest for life. She too taught me lots.
    Whooshing some love across the pond ❤️

  155. Oh I am teary eyed. I also share a Pluto look alike name Jazzy who is 14. Every time I look at her I see Pluto!!! I miss knowing she is here but I know she is in spirit because you keep posting. Please keep posting at least for now. I think we all enjoy seeing that sweet nose!!!! Bless you as you go through this day!!!! Pizza evetybody!!!!

  156. She (and you) was the brightest light in the darkest of times. She made us smile and laugh when both those things became scarce. She made us more compassionate towards others. She made us realize we were not alone. She was the best and is missed every day by the world she touched. Thank you, Nancy, for sharing her wit and wisdom with us.

  157. Please don’t stop, even if it’s just occasional, I never met that girl, and as I sit waiting for summer tires damn leaky eyes in public♥️
    She and you moms brought much needed smiles to us through some dark times
    Pluto and NJW continue that for us
    Again Thank you♥️

  158. To Pluto’s mom, I have been a fan of Pluto’s since the very beginning and still am. I enjoy seeing all the posts of your memories of darlin Pluto. I’m a furbaby mom too and also have an angel buddy. Swooshing you lots of love Nancy.
    Karen ❤️❤️

  159. You shared Pluto and gave the Pluto Universe a gift of love and allowed us to be a part of your special world. The best part of Covid for me was spending time with our little Pumpkin who was in her last years. And we’d cozy up together and listen to Pluto and her talented partner talk and it was entertainment and laughs and happiness ( and pizza) during a scary part of life. Our pumpkin left us in February of 2022 and I just know she’s found Pluto and they will have a pizza party together. Your Pluto became a part of do many – so thank you. With love – Pumpkins mom and dad.

  160. So enjoy re reading Plutos Book…..
    So love you keep her readers informed of how you are feeling as her loving and kind voice⭐️
    Many thanks and I’ll order Pizza in her honor and share it with what used to be Purple Meannies….all friends love you and Your family‼️❤️
