Today is 4 years

since I crossed the rainbow bridge. I still feel the love and miss my family so much. I wish I could turn back time for just a minute and give them all one more kiss and butt wiggle. I know they still miss me too, I get talked about all the time. I sit here with little Smidgen, we are watching over them. I love you my dear family.

Smidgens Mom

The lil baby puppy I am looking after here over the rainbow bridge is a precious lil thing. Her Mom has become a big part of my 'moms' life. As said earlier, Smidgen was taken from a homeless man and cared for by my family. She was too small and sick to make it. My Mom has taken Smidgens Mom and had her spayed, all her shots and microchipped. She made the homeless man a 'responsible' pet owner. Dolly (Smidgens mom) comes to my moms office a couple times a week to visit and play. The microchip lists my mom for contact just in case, and the family is willing to do whatever necessary to insure that Smidgens mom remains healthy. The homeless man tells everyone that if ever anything should happen, he is a peace knowing that Dolly will be taken care of.. How bout that Mom of mine? I am proud to have been loved by such a great family and especially my mom.

today I held Smidgen's paw

as she crossed the rainbow bridge at 3:45 this morning. She was 17 days old. My Mom found her with a homeless man and she brought her home to try to save her. She was just too weak and little to continue on. I watched my Mom lay with her this morning holding her and asking me to come lead her safely home and asked me to look after her, Mom gave her 8 days of love and caring, Smidgen knew she was loved and really did have a family, the comfort of my Mom, Dad and my boy made her days full of love. I will look after her and tell her about how I was loved and that the blessings of my family were the greatest gift, and let her know that she was very much loved. Rest in peace little Smidgen.

Today is 2 years

hard to believe I have been over the rainbow bridge 2 years today. I sure do miss my family, I know they still miss me because they talk about me all the time and I see their tears. I know they know I am not hurting anymore and they say if they could just hug me one more time and tell me how much they love me, I want them to know that every day when they say my name, or touch the plaque with my name engraved on it, that, that is a hug and the tears are them telling me how much they loved me. Keep up the rescues of other pugs and show them all the love that I learned and loved and I will wait here at the bridge to shower them with all the love and kisses anyone could ever need. I miss you too.

today is 1 year

1 year ago today I crossed the rainbow bridge. My family , let me tell you about my wonderful family. I was a pitiful ole thing when they came to take me home with them. I had about a dozen baths the first 2 days, even with something tomato tasting to 'make the stank go away' I know I smelled bad, the whole place I came from smelled bad. They cleaned me up and wow did I smell good, I was hugged over and over and knew I had come to my forever home. My boy, Zack would walk me, pet me, hug me, feed me and just love me. It was the best feeling in the world to feel their love, it was all new to me, and I loved it. I showed them my love right back, I did EVERYTHING right, I wanted to because I didn't want to go back to where I was. I even learned to let myself out if I had to tinkle or stinkle and would come right to the door so they wouldn't miss me. They would tell me what a good girl I was and I would just wiggle with joy cuz finally in my life someone knew I was a good girl, no one ever cared to tell me before. I spent my final 6 1/2 years with my family, I got everything I needed and wanted with them, guess what it was that I needed and wanted? LOVE, that was it, not much to ask for, but sure is great to get. I know how much we miss each other, I watch them talking about me all the time. I would like to find a way to thank them, but I think they know. Evidently something about me really got to them, cuz they got me a pug puppy a few yrs ago, and now they have another (she is a handful) I think they're addicted to pugs. I am glad I filled their lives with so much love, but how I could not? they did the same for me. Thanks for my wonderful life, I love you all and miss you too.

My Mom is still sad

I wish I could kiss my Mom one more time and tell her I love her. I know she still misses me. She went back to work a couple months ago and her new office is across the street from where I was taken after I crossed the rainbow bridge, I came back to them in a box my Uncle made for me. Today Mom was standing out front of her office and I saw her crying. She saw some folks carrying their little dog there. I met that little dog today and am showing her all the love we still have and get. I am keeping an eye on my Mom, I miss her too, it's almost been a year since I was laying next to my Mom that day that they had to take me there.

From where I sit

As you know, I crossed over the rainbow bridge. From where I sit, I see it all. My Sully is really getting it good. There is a new pug in the house, and she is a terror!!
I have ALL my teeth again and all I can do is GRIN GRIN GRIN!!! This gal gives it to him GOOD, when Sully was a lil guy he terrorized me pretty good, I actually loved every second of it tho, I actually think he boosted me up and kept me going for a few more wonderful years with my family.

our love pug

what a great gal she was!! Her 'Uncle Steve" made her a beautiful wooden box with a marble lid and a marble name plate, her ashes are in that box, and we found a little pug statue that had wings and a golden halo, it sits on top of her box.
Our male, Sully, had a real hard time dealing with the loss of Thumper, he cried tears, would not eat and only would drink water by licking it off of my hands, it looked as if Sully would grieve himself to death. Our Hattie came into our lives by chance and gave Sully a reason to go on. We think Thumper is looking down with a big grin because the new pup is giving Sully what Sully gave to Thumper. Thumper must be saying, ahhhhhhhh Karma. It hurts to even try to write this, we miss her so much.

my story

I became 'the love pug' for a wonderful family. These people came to where I was kept and took me home, their son (my boy, Zack)wanted a pug for his birthday and I was the chosen one!!!!They saved me from a bad life, I smelled, was afraid of air, was beaten alot and had to live in a nasty cage in a room with 70+ other breeding dogs, I had litter after litter of puppies, but I was never loved. My family took me home, cleaned me up, and loved me SO much I could hardly beleive it.
I had arthritis real bad and my Mom understood (she has it too) They took such good care of me, if I had trouble walking, they would carry me, I had a ramp at our new home that helped me too. I used jump up to sleep in bed with them, then I wasn't able to jump up there so I would come to Mom's side of the bed and make some little sounds and she would scoop me up and snugglepuggle me and I would sleep thru the night all warm and cozy. I had alot of love, I miss my family so much. On June 13th 2004, my Mom got up and asked if we (my 'brother', Sully) wanted to go out, Sully, screeched past me and ran out the door, I couldn't move.
Mom scooped me up and carried me outside and held me by my belly so I could tinkle and stinkle, then she carried me inside and woke up my Dad. He got me a towel and laid me on it. My Mom sat with me and told me over and over how much they loved me, and thanked me for being their love pug and told me that I would always be their love pug and if I needed to go, they understood and it was okay. Then they kept petting me and telling me how much they loved me, and it was okay, Mom told me to take a big breath and let it out, and she was crying, and I think I was too because I did not want to let them down. They assured me that it was okay, they gave me permission to go to a better place, and in my mind the best place I could be was with them, but they told me I would feel better and wouldn't hurt no more, I know how much they loved me, so I laid on my side, kissed my Mom's hand and took that deep breath and crossed the rainbow bridge.
