		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And God asked the canine spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a dog, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious dog
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a nice day yesterday. All my pals, and my great grandpawrents got together and helped me to celebrate my Bridge Day!
They threw me a Meatball Pawty!
My great grandma taught St. Frank how to make meatballs the right way (her way). She always made small, crunch meat-a-balls with lots of garlic, fresh Italian pawsley and cheese. They're only about the size of a cherry so you can eat a lot of them! St. Anthony was mincing tons of garlic, St. Frank helped soak bread and squeeze it out, St. Clare was chopping pawsley and St. Bonaventure was grating the cheese. Poor St. Boni! He had to grate tons of cheese which is a hard job and so is mincing garlic. Nobody would shake hands with St. Anthony last night! BOL!

Me and Coleman had our usual meatball tossing contest, see who can toss them the farthest! We threw them at everybody! BOL!!! St. Frank had one stuck in his beard! St. Anthony got one stuck in his sleeve and didn't know it. My great grandma was laughing at us! She saw but didn't tell on us! Great grandpa had the big bottle of wine and gave all of us angels little glasses of it with nice Tuscan bread to eat. It was sooooo good!

Heaven sure smellled good yesterday!

Thanks to all my pals for sharing that special day with me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This was my second Christmas in heaven. What a feast!

The eggs and sausages with pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast, followed by that big tuna fish sandwich lunch, followed by the grand daddy of all spaghetti dinners. The meatballs were rolling! BOL!
Coleman and I had a spaghetti tossing contest until St. Anthony busted that up. We threw a meatball at him and it landed in the hood of his robe! I wonder if he found it yet! BOL! Angel Kisha had a special cake today because it was her Bridge Day. We all gathered around and sang to her.

Of course at Midnight last night we had the beautiful angelic procession to Bethlehem. We bichons all processed together two by two. I teamed up with Coleman and Zoe and Cosette were in front of us. Harpo and Max behind, followed by Angel and Camry. Angel Sam, Angel Kisha and Angel Sandy (Thumper) brought up the rear. Uncle Steve carried Angel Brandi Jo and Putter. Angel Sneakers walked next to Oliver Hoover, BoBo walked with Cinnamon, Silky and Pepper Schnoodles walked with each other. We got a lot of angels in our group this year. We all told baby Jesus about our pawrents back home who miss us so much and He smiled and blessed us and our pawrents and earth siblings. He's sure a cute baby!

Merry Christmas to all of our loved ones back on earth. We are always waiting for you but having a blast in the meanwhile! Mommy, I am always watching you so don't be sad. I wuv you so much. We will be together soon.

Wuv,
JR Angel]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi to all our pals from heaven. We are having a huge pawty today. St. Frank is the big cheese up here today and we are celebrating big time! We already had a pancake breakfast. 
At the table with me were all of our angels, Angel, Angel Sam, Angel Silky, Angel Coleman, Angel Cosette, Angel Putter, Angel Brandi Jo, Angel Ringo, Angel Lexi, Angel Sneakers, Angels Harpo and Max, Angel Ozzy, Angel Maggie May, Angel Pepper Schnoodle, Angel Cinammon, Angel Princess, Angel Bobo and And Angel Hoover (Ollie J). Uncle Steve helped out and couldn't keep up with the demands for more pancakes and sausages! We are a demanding bunch! When he'd come with the big tray, we'd jump him and lick his face and he'd drop some, but it's ok. We're dogs and we don't care if the pancakes and sausages fall to the ground! We eat it right up.

Later on, we're gonna have a nice, orderly (BOL) procession through the city, the heavenly Jersualem. A lot of animals will pawticipate, so it should be amazing! 

At St. Frank's table this morning were the wolf of Gubbio and the rabbit he rescued from the snare as well as all the worms he saved from the road during the rains. The birds he preached to hung about the trees behind him making quite a racket and they ate all their seeds. We had a pawsome morning so far. I'm sure that dinner will be pawsome!

St. Frank told me to tell all of you that he wuvs each one of you and will send his blessing down on you all!

Wuv from heaven,

JR Angel 

Part 2

Hi Sonny, this is just to pick up and continue the rest of the day. You will be very happy to know that Uncle Steve was relieved of duty for dinner. Brother Leo, Elias and Giles helped to serve the big dinner to the pets. Uncle Steve sat at the table elbow to elbow with the rest of us. 

It's a good thing he has a sense of humor about it all. We kept trying to sneak stuff off his plate. One of us would pretened to be choking and then the dog on the other side would snarf a piece of steak off his plate! But he caught on pretty quickly. 

When the deserts came out, we all thought we were...wait..we ARE in heaven! It was amazing! Apple pie ala mode, brownies ala mode, and St. Frank's absolute favorite, cannolis!

We also had the procession. It was supposed to be very solemn, but some of the huskies were pretending to be the wolf of Gubbio and were just cracking us all up!

I think St. Frank had a pawsome day. He said it was one of the best ones ever. I'm sure it was. I don't think he's ever seen a bunch like the BLC Angels, that's fur sure!

Well fed, fat and happy!

JR Angel and the rest of the BLC Angels]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our little friend comes into our life
And we realise how empty it was before
Our little friend comes in and fills up the spaces
He makes us laugh when there was no laughter
He makes the days seem light again
In his special way he brings so much joy to all he meets
Especially his family, who are so lucky to have him
They cherish every minute with him
Even when he messes up!
There is nothing his family wouldn't do to keep him with them forever.

Sadly one day, he must go back to heaven
Because he was an angel sent down to bring joy
His life was short and yet it brought so much

But soon another life must come in
Not to replace, but to share the burden of man's life on earth
A little angel sent down to bring light and joy
Or else life would be unbearable.

Gently one day, the Father takes back the little angel dog back to His kingdom
This angel watches and waits
One day his people will come
Until that day, he plays in the sun
He watches and smiles, and waits and wags
Along with the other angels.
The sweet little dog angels of heaven.

Written by me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear JR. 
I woke up before 4am this morning remembering how you went to heaven one year ago. I looked at all of your pictures last night. What a beautiful spirit you had and still have. Every day is just another day closer to when we will be together again. Your mom never forgets her baby. I hope you'll have a pawsome time at your pawty in heaven with St. Frank. I'm going to take out all of your toys and sniff them. I hope I catch a little smell of you. I miss you so much. I wish I could kiss and hug you. 

Love you always Bubba,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This beautiful poem was sent to me by my pals Brandi Jo and Max.
Minister Mindy posted it somewhere and they thought of me.
I wuv all of my special dogster friends and am honored to be a Special Guardian Angel for my BLC buddies.

God’s Pets



I’m here to take care of you,

For I have important work to do.

My job is to protect and keep,

To watch over pets while they sleep.

God gave them love that’s unconditional,

That’s why pets are always special.

Some enjoy a child at play,

Others content to brighten an elder’s day.

The missions completed with a mighty love,

Sent as His blessing from above.

I am thankful to be the Angel,

Chosen for a job so very special.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A Poem written by Bubu, my BFF:

Rose are Red
Violets are Blue
Your Best Friend's a Loser
What can you Do?

Despite my lateness
A very late hour
You know that I WUV YA
To the nth power

You're my BFF
and you always will be
New York or So Cal
Heaven or here,
I'll never forget ya
Your face gives me cheer
Your Mom and mine,
BFFs, too
You'll stay in our hearts
We'll always LOVE YOU 


A Poem written by JR's pal Teddy:

Okay, Pals, move over for Teddy Shakespeare!

Woofdays in Heaven are happy indeed
Pups dance with the angels, and blitz at top speed.
The kitties are purring, the birdies all tweet.
They scamper and flitter at St. Francis's feet.

Before they were angels they may not have met,
But now they are family, the best family yet!
They all share the love that they gave us on Earth,
Made greater by far in their new, second Birth.

They wait til we join them, with sweet, patient heart.
We wept when they left us, our lives torn apart.
But we know that in Heaven what was broken is whole.
Our precious FurChildren, with wings, ease our soul.

So Have A Blest Woofday, JR, have some fun!
We cherish the days you were with us, each one.
Jennie, Tilley, Louise, Telo, Sadie Bug too,
I know they're in Heaven, celebrating with you.

I'm saving up tummy rubs, "noogies" and smooches,
I can't wait to share them with kitties and pooches!
We'll sing when we get there to Heaven one day,
All Creatures of God, together we'll stay.

whew.
Wuv you JR!
From Teddy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you Maximillion and Cindy for this beautiful poem. It certainly rings very true. I feel as though I am never going to stop crying. I was SO IN LOVE WITH JR. 



MY FOREVER PET

There's something missing in my home,
I feel it day and night,
I know it will take time and strength,
before things feel quite right.
But just for now, I need to mourn,
My heart ~ it needs to mend.
Though some may say, "It's just a pet,"
I know I've lost a friend.
You've brought such laughter to my home,
and richness to my days.
A constant friend through joy or loss
with gentle, loving ways.
Companion, friend, and confidante,
A friend I won't forget.
You'll live forever in my heart,
My sweet, forever pet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For the Pups Beyond the Rainbow Bridge 
(Kay Roth) 
For the pups beyond the Rainbow Bridge, 
We bow our heads, we shed some tears, 
We know that nothing can take the place 
Of the furry pals we loved so dear. 
And even as the years go by, 
A remembered nudge, a lick, a sigh 
An old photograph will bring them back, 
And tears will fall from many an eye. 

We thank the good Lord up above, 
For your doggy smile and unconditional love 
The way you felt within our arms, 
Your bark, your whine, your many charms. 
We thank Him for your listening ear 
The warmth of your body when you pressed it near. 
Is it so surprising really, that you are called DOG. 
You're a pretty good reflection of the love of our GOD. 

For the pups beyond the Rainbow Bridge, 
A voice is heard at bridge's end. 
"Well done, true and faithful friend." 
Your job and journey is completed on earth. 
Play in the flowerfields, bask in the sun... 
Chase with your pals and have great fun. 
But keep your ears cocked while you're chewing that bone 
You'll hear familiar footsteps---your human's come home]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear pals. 
Today I went to the bridge.
My mommy was very sad. It was like her heart was ripped out of her.
She kept kissing my body but I wasn't there. I was running and skipping over the beautiful meadows of heaven. I ran and ran and got to a beautiful place with a big rainbow. Under a large shade tree, St. Francis sat and waited for me.
I ran up to him and gave him my paw.

"JR", he said to me, "now you're an angel. You suffered so much on earth. Now you will run and blitz and play. You'll never be too tired to chase your friends, and you'll never get another cyst or boo boo. Nobody will ever make you eat diet dog food and there's no limit to amount of Greenies, Marrowbones and Beggin Strips so eat hearty me lad." 

I laughed at that bit of pirate humor. I never expected it from St. Frank!
Then I remembered something.

"St. Frank, pal?" I asked...."what about mom, what about Patches? What's gonna happen to them? What will Bubu do without me? What about all my BLC buddies? Will they cry alot?"

St. Frank put his head down and nodded.
"Yeah pal. They're all gonna cry, but soon their hearts will be filled with the Peace beyond all understanding. God will give them the grace to bear it and you'll be happy and blitzin' and soon they'll all be here with ya."
It was so cool that St. Frank has a Brooklyn accent!

"JR, ya suffered alot. Now you're all healed pal.", he went on.
"Your pals on earth gotta know that and get their heads around it. Then they'll be ok."

"Thanks pal, I feel better now." I told him.

"There's alot of activities up here, pal", he told me. "We have ball chase at half past cloud nine and Jesus comes and blesses all the pawrents at full sun".

"Wow, cool!" I murmured. "Can He bless my mom and make her heart feel better. I think she's cryin' alot now and Patches too. They're gonna miss me alot on earth". 

St. Frank nodded. "Yes, kid. Jesus will give your mom a special blessing. Tomorrow at noon, she'll go for a walk. A special warm ray of sunshine will hit her and she will know that you're in the sunshine. The air will be beautifully pleasant. It's a little taste of heaven that Jesus will send to her. He loves her so much and wants her to be happy and to remember you. She will always miss you. Patches is gonna make out like a bandit now. She's already playin' with some of your stuff."

I laughed. "That's ok man! If it makes mom laugh, that's ok".

St. Frank clapped me on the shoulder. "You're bein' a good pal about that. I know how you wuved your toys."

"No worries" I told him. We got all the best stuff up here anyway, don't even need toys. I got lots of cool new friends, all angels like me. I met a sweet cow grazing in the field named Tessie. She was my first over-the bridge pal.

I was  given some wings and the ability to watch over all my pals on earth. It's like a total power trip and I feel giddy about it but don't worry, I won't be spyin' on nobody when I shouldn't be! 

I gotta go now, pals. I'll write more later but now I wanna blitz to my hearts content.

Wuv from heaven,

JR Angel.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BTW here's a great poem about us angel kids.  Don't be sad anymore. I wuv you all.

JR Angel

I ONLY WANTED YOU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Rules

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are "tagged", need to post in their diary the rules plus their own 7 fun facts. Next, choose 7 pups to *tag* and list their names. Pawmail each of them that they have been tagged and instruct them to read your diary for rules!!

Here's the fun facts about me - JR!

1. I love to sleep in the closet! Every night I roll open the door and climb in. It's like my own private apartment.

2. I go nuts when a Jack Russell comes down the street.

3. Almost every night I find a tennis ball because we live near a playground!

4.  I have a pet posse, anyone I let in to the group is ok. Everyone else, stay away!

5. Everytime my mom opens the front door I have trained her to give me a treat!

6. I like to steal toys out of the bottoms of baby carriages.

7.  I love flowers. If I find one, I'll carry it home with me!

If you would like to play, tag 7 more dogs. They have to put 7 fun facts in their diary! I love to be nosy, so that might be number 8!

Dogs I've tagged:
Bubu
Kayleigh
Matilda
Sherman
Reggie White
Remy
Miss Princess Grace]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today my mom woke me up singing Happy Birfday. She made me smile even though her singing sucks! She had to take me to the doctor today and that made her sad because I have alot of cysts all over my body and one got all bloody. He had to take it off. Yeah, I know. Happy Birfday to me! :(
But it was ok and then we got to go to the Pet Store and I got to pick out any toy that I wanted there. I have never been to the pet store and I was just amazed! There were so many toys! I made my mom squeek every single one until I picked a bear!

Then my day got even better! When I got home, I got my mail and in it was some "bling" from my pal out in CA, his name is Bubu and he's my bestest buddy ever! Mom put it on my harness and I was one proud dude, strutting my stuff, wearing my bling. Work it baby!!!

Tomorrow I am going to grandma and grandpa's house. They have a dog, my cousin Mario. He is going to be soooo jealous when he sees my bling.
I wont bring my bear though because he might get his smelly lips all over my bear. And I couldn't bear that!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning Mom was washing the dishes and I saw a bee in the house!
So I chased it right into the kitchen, barking so that she'd be aware!
Mom almost destroyed the kitchen and whacked that poor sucker about 50 times but she got it!

I've saved her before, once I acted all crazy going over a patch of grass. Mom was smart and realised that I knew that something bad was going on underground. She saw some ladies who saw me acting crazy, and they asked why I was behaving that way. Mom told them, JR is very smart. He knows that there's probably a sinkhole happening under the grass. 
They rolled their eyes and thought Mom had lost it, but then as they stepped onto the grass, a hole opened up and one of them fell in up to her chest!
An old oil tank buried under the grass had collapsed causing the earth to cave in!
Those two ladies then knew that Mom and me weren't just making it up!

Another time, the steam pipes in the kitchen explosed. I woke up and immediately charged in there, with Mom jumping out of bed (this was at 4 am!) and running right behind me. She thought I was so gallant and brave!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My poor little ears! I get allergy attacks all of the time, but this week my ears just blew up like red roses! Mom thought that I had an infection, but it was another allergic reaction to something. She had to take me to the vet. I was the best dog there. All of the other guys were barking and making a really noisy atmosphere. The receptionists really appreciated my good behavior, but it all flew out the window when I got into the exam room.

Why is the table so cold?! Man! And the vet's assistant was a big guy who grabbed me and tried to hold me down. I took that as a challenge and tried to wrestle him! Doc tried to talk sissy talk to me, but I wasn't buying it.
I just wanted Mom to hold me, I woulda been good. I didn't need Charles Atlas and his show of strength!

Anyway, Mom had to get me medicines and stuff. I don't like taking them but I guess I gotta. I get a treat afterward and extra stuff so I put up with it.
Mom's really a sucker when I'm sick, heehee!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ JR was purchased from a pet store, following the death of our first bichon Fluffy (never forgotten and always adored). I was upset with my parents for buying him from a pet store because I knew that he'd be a puppy mill puppy.  When they brought him in to the house for the first time, I told them that they should bring him back, that he wasn't "a good one", he had an underbite, his tail was a bald pink thing like a rats, and his hair was very funny looking. While I was criticizing him, JR looked at me with a smile and cocked his head. I had a feeling that he was saying to me "You were meant for me!". My heart melted. But JR was my parent's dog, and I had moved out to my own place.
My mom seemed to be going through emotional problems though and swore that she couldn't keep the puppy that she had just bought! She tried to give him to everybody that she met. Finally I took him and he's turned out to be the most wonderful dog, with a great personality, but many, many health problems. He is also the best friend that anyone could ever have. 
He's so special, smart and just fits into my life so completely that I can't imagine not having him there. 

JR is also a very good big brother. He body blocks our cat Patches, who is always trying to run out of our apartment and into the busy street. She sometimes slaps him for that!

JR, I love you. You're my sweet little man. Thank you for being my best friend and little baby!
Love,
Mom]]></content:encoded>
