It's my birthday

Mom and dad miss me much. I'm dancing in heaven. Quincy and Sidney have recently joined me at the bridge. We are free of cancer and pain. I was loved on earth.

Thanksgiving at the bridge

I am celebrating Thanksgiving at the bridge with Jasmine, Peanut, and Heidi. I remember Thanksgiving day well. Back in 2001, I got bit on the stomach area by a blind ground hog. I did not catch it. I had to be seen at the vet the following day and get put on antibiotics. I'm watching down from heaven checking up on Toby and the new white german shepherd, Geno.

Mandy the queen is Dogster's diary of the day!

I'm dancing in heaven with my high heels and dog pals as I am featured today as diary of the day. Think of me always and keep my memories alive. I was a good dog, a loyal, protective guardian of my family. When it storms on earth, I am dancing in heaven. Look for the rainbow in the sky. I'm playing in the pot of gold dog food nuggets. Read the lovely shepherd poem mom found for me.

Poem

THE SPIRIT OF A SHEPHERD DOG
I was standing on a hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And the spirit of a German Shepherd Dog
Was lying at my feet.


He looked at me with kind dark eyes
An ancient wisdom shining through
And in the essence of his being
I saw love there too.


His mind did lock upon my heart
As I stood there on that day
And he told me of this story
About a place so far away.


I stood upon that hillside
In a field of blowing wheat
And in a twinkling of a second
His spirit left my feet.


His tale did put my heart at ease
My fears did fade away
About what lay ahead of me
On another distant day.


I live among God's creatures now
In the heavens of your mind
So do not grieve for me, my friend
As I am with my kind.


My collar is a rainbow's hue
My leash a shooting star
My boundaries are the Milky Way
Where I sparkle from afar.
There are no pens or kennels here
For I am not confined
But free to roam God's heavens
Among my Shepherd kind.
I nap the day on a snowy cloud
Gentle breezes rocking me
And dream the dreams of earthlings
And how it used to be.


The trees are full of liver treats
And tennis balls abound
And Milkbones line the walkways
Just waiting to be found.


There even is a ring set up
The grass all lush and green
And everyone who gaits around
Becomes the Best of Breed.


For we're all winners in this place
We have no faults, you see
And God passes out those ribbons
To each one, even me.


I drink from waters laced with gold
My world a beauty to behold
And wise old dogs do form my pride
To amble at my very side.


At night I sleep in an angel's arms
Her wings protecting me
And moonbeams dance about us
As stardust falls on thee.


So when your life on earth is spent
And you stand at Heaven's gate
Have no fear of loneliness
For here, you know I wait.

Happy 4th Mandy!

When we hear the rockets today, we will think of you. We know how you hated fireworks and storms. Now you are looking down from heaven. We miss our girl.

Thanks

I would like to say thanks to all my pals. They have showed us love and support during my illness. I have many mails to answer. I have groups that have photos of me and celebrations. I am so blessed to have had the oppertunity to get involved with such nice pups and their owners.Thanks for the pictures, rosettes, prayers and thoughts. I am dancing in heaven free of pain.

I'm a new angel

I'm dancing in heaven with my sis Jasmine. I'm not suffering.

Swollen leg

Mom noticed my leg is very swollen. I am having difficulty walking. My belly is filling with fluid. I have been bleeding internally. My gums and tongue are pale. I'm laying around. My appetite is poor. Mom is keeping me comfortable with pain pills. She called the vet today and he is going to see me on Monday.

Hanging in there

I am doing better today. I ate some canned dogfood and dry today. I am walking better too. I'd like to thank all my pup pals for the love and support they have shown me during my illness. I am comfortable and take one day at a time. I was out in my yard patrolling. I'm a great guard dog. Woof ya!

Bad morning

Mom and dad had to help me up to walk today. I did not eat my breakfast. I felt lots better after mom gave me a pain pill. I ate my hamburger and rice later in the day. I'm walking better too. Mom is keeping me comfortable and giving me lots of attention.
