Dearest Emily,

I wanted to write to you on your fifth birthday, because I’m only here as a result of you going to the Rainbow Bridge, so although I never met you I am very grateful to you for sending me to your home to cheer everyone up. I love it here, and since no one else wanted me – possibly because I used to beat up all my siblings, which Amber now tells me isn’t the way to attract potential pup buyers who like cute little pups – I think I’ve done very, very well for myself, but I’m sorry you had to go to the Rainbow Bridge in order for it to happen.

Amber says that she is VERY sorry it had to happen!

There is a lovely rose in your memory, and it’s kept in the front garden. This is so that I can’t eat it, as I rather like eating flowers. A few days ago a new flower appeared, and today another bud has opened. Mummy says that this is your sign that you’re still with us, and also you came and visited us as a little white butterfly this morning. You’re lucky Amber didn’t try to eat you!

As you must know, Daddy is very, very sick now, but he still remembers you and misses you too. Mummy seems to be constantly busy, and says that if I hadn’t come to live here she would have a lot more free time. Didn’t you take up so much of her time, Emily? I know you were a very good girl. Mummy says that I’m what’s known as a character, which I suspect isn’t the same as being good.

On 21st September, Amber is going to have an operation. She will be spayed, her teeth will be cleaned and something else that I can’t remember. Amber knows you will be with her, and watching over us all on that day, but I thought I’d mention it in case you’ve anything else planned for that day.

Do you have birthday cakes and lots of treats at the Rainbow Bridge? I expect you do. Mummy is going to have a cake today, in your memory, but of course Amber and I won’t get anything. The ‘no human food’ rule that you will remember is still strongly in force, worse luck L

I hope you have a truly wonderful time at the Rainbow Bridge during your birthday celebrations today. Mummy knows that Daisy and Phoebe will be there with you, and all the friends you made when you arrived there, and she sends her love to them as well.

Most of all, dear Emily, she sends you her love, and says that never a day goes by without her thinking of you. Amber says she’s the same, but possibly for a different reason!

LOTS AND LOTS OF LOVE FROM US ALL.

Amber, Mummy, Daddy, Alex and last but by no means least me,
Poppy
