Clouds in the making...

I am learning so much here at the Rainbow Bridge. I have learned the real reason thunder and lightening happening. (Which I pawed down about in a previous diary entry) Now I have learned about clouds. Those big white fluffy clouds I used to look at when I was outside in my yard. The humans have all kinds of crazy ideas about clouds. Clouds are made by us doggies here at the Rainbow Bridge. Every time a puppy/dog destuffs a toy, the stuffing makes those big white fluffy clouds that you see. See it really is a simply explanation.

Thank you...

I am so honored that my Dogster friends, Gwen, Gretchen, Benny, VI, Mamie and their Mommy gave a gift in my name to Best Friends Animal Society. Thanks to their kindness and love, homeless pets near and far will have a second chance.
Bless all of you.
