Nicknames:
Ralphmeister, Poohster, Pup-a-Dup, Pooee Booee, Cosita Linda, Ralphster, Poosh Woosh, Sir Ralph of Yorkshire, Mr. Ralph, Yorkmeister

Badges:
Rainbow Bridge
Quick Bio:
-purebred

Likes:
He loved to be brushed, riding in the car or in the basket on his mom's bike

Pet-Peeves:
Ralphie hated to be left alone and taking so many meds for so many years.

Favorite Toy:
Blue rubber ball, rope "fuggie" and rawhide sticks.

Favorite Food:
Loved to share grape fruit pops with his daddy!

Favorite Walk:
He loved to walk in the kitchen searching the floor for food!

Best Tricks:
When he was a "youngster" he wouldn't eat a treat until you said okay - he would turn his head away from the treat.

Arrival Story:
Ralphie came into my life through Merryfield Kennels in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I thought he was sick when I first saw him - a sales girl was holding him in one hand and he wasn't moving at all. We went into a "puppy room" and she put him on the floor to play - he instantly went into a playing frenzy that ended when she picked him up again. He went home with us that day and graced my life with love and happiness for 18 1/2 years!

Bio:
Ralphie was an amazing Yorkie who overcame many physical ailments. His wonderful vet of many years, Dr. Arch Gordon, and I had the - "this could be it" - conversation many times, but Ralphie always proved us wrong and bounced right back. He lived to be 18 1/2 years old and remained very much a puppy until the last year he was with us. Ralphie left for Rainbow's Bridge on May 31, 2005 leaving a huge void in our hearts and lives. He chose to leave for Rainbows Bridge while he was with Dr. Gordon, not allowing us to be with him during his final moments, probably wanting to spare us the heartache. That's how we will always remember him - the gentlest, most loveable Yorkie who rarely barked, just a mellow little boy who loved butterflies, lizards and flowers! He will always be our precious furson, loved and missed by his mom and dad.

Forums Motto:
Every day is a gift!

FUN

Don't weep at my grave, for I am not there, I've a date with a butterfly to dance in the air. I'll be singing in the sunshine, wild and free, playing tag with the wind while I'm waiting for thee.

Mommy's message to me!

My mommy sent me this message today, my fourth year at Rainbow Bridge.

"Ralphie, I celebrate your eternal spirit today, the 4 year marker of your journey to Rainbow Bridge. You continue to be the music of love softly playing in my heart ... the colors that paint my world and bring beauty to my life ... your love will always be the glue that holds me together until I hold you again.

I see your legacy of love and devotion in Maggie, Aggie and Clawdius Meowximus, our beautiful furchildren you led us to, these furbabies who can never replace you but who have made their own special place in our hearts just as you knew they would - you're a wise Yorkie, Ralphie.

You shared 18 years, 2 months and 24 days with me out of your 18 1/2 years of life, and every single day was a day of beauty - yes, even the bad days were days of beauty because you were with me, Ralphie, I could always count on you to lift my spirits. And even now you continue to encourage me by reminding me that every day is a gift to be enjoyed and you send me butterflies, little messengers of your love, soft and lovely just like you.

I have so much I want to say to you, Ralphie, but I know words are not necessary between you and me - we share immense love, always have and always will. You live in the center of my soul, my furson ... thank you for blessing my life for so many years ... I love you always & forever .... Mommy."


You're missing me, Mom - I see the tears!

I'm watching you tonight Mom ... you're listening to the music on my page as the tears softly roll down your cheeks. I know nothing can fill the void I left in your heart, nothing will ever take the pain away, it's always with you - it's part of you even as I am ... you would have never known this pain if you had never known me and my love, Mom - pain is the other side of the "love coin" I gave you when I came into your life in 1987 ... you only looked at the beautiful love side of the coin while I was with you - a side that can't be described, a side that God imprinted just for you, Mom - he used my love, loyalty, devotion and spirit to print a special message on the "love coin", a message meant just for you, a message you read with your heart - a message that I buried deep in your soul, a message that's eternal.

Then in 2005 I left my earthly body and you saw the other side of the "love coin" - it's the pain side, Mom ... it can't be avoided, when you love someone there will always be a goodbye that will cause pain, that's why God put pain on the "love coin" - they can't be separated, love and pain go hand in hand ... but I've heard you say pain is a price you gladly pay for the blessing of my love in your life, for the beauty and joy I brought you.

Don't cry, Mom, I'm never far from you ... hold the "love coin" close to your heart and concentrate on the side that represents me, Ralphie. All that I was to you, I still am, Mom - I'm still your Ralphie, I'm all that God wanted you to have in a little Yorkie - I am love wrapped in beautiful silver and gold fur, Mom and I love you always and forever and, until you hold me again, my love will hold you together.


February 16, 2009 - My Mommy's Birthday!

Ms. Faye helped me send this message to Mommy today:

Good Morning Mom...

Today is a special day
It is your Birthday
It is also Sedoso's Birthday
There is a party in the meadow today
There is also another party today
It is in your heart and my heart
We may be physically apart
But there is a special bond of love
I send you birthday wishes from above
I send you that big Yorkie Kiss
That I know how much you miss
Close your eyes, dry that tear
I am with you each and every year
We are together always and forever...
I love you Mom Happy Birthday....

Ralphie February 16, 2009
