STORIES FROM PUPPIES LIFE

ADOPT 2010 - ADOPTION SAVED A STREET RAT LIKE I WAS

MY STORY:
I WAS FOUND ON THE STREETS I WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS MAYBE 9 MONTHS OLD PREGNANT STARVED WHERE YOU COULD SEE MY BONES BULGING OUT FROM MY SKIN.I WAS SO FRIGHTENED . MOM HAS A VERY PERSONAL STORY OF HOW WE SAVED EACH OTHERS LIVES .BUT THIS IS TO PERSONAL TO SHARE HERE. ASK I'M SURE SHE LOVE TO SHARE IT.
POINT BEING I WAS TAKEN IN TO MY FOREVER HOME 1985 OR SO
AND I WAS A PART OF THAT LOVING HOME TILL
APRIL 2003 WHEN I WENT TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE..
I WAS NEVER HUNGRY OR UNLOVED .MOMMY USED TO STROKE MY HEAD FOR HRS AT A TIME .I SLEPT CUDDLED IN MOM TUMMY ,SHE CARRIED ME EVERYWHERE.MY FEET HARDLY TOUCHED THE GROUND.BUT WHEN THEY DID I WAS OFF AND RUNNING YELPING HAPPILY TO THE WORLD .
LOOK AT ME I AM LOVED .. EVERYONE I AM LOVED.
ADOPTION MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. IT MEANS A STREET RAT LIKE ME CAN FIND A WARM BED A FULL BOWL OF FOOD /WATER A GOOD DR TO FIX MY BROKEN LEG .
FREEDOM FROM GIVING BIRTH ON THE STREETS TO MORE PUPPIES THAT WILL ONLY PARISH FROM HUNGRY DISEASE OR INJURY.

A FAMILY WHO LOVED ME ENOUGH TO HAVE ME SPAYED MY SHOTS. FIXED MY TEETH.
BUT ALL THAT FALLS SECONDARY TO THE LOVE I FOUND WITH MY ADOPTED FAMILY OVER THE NEXT 19 YRS. THE LAST 5 YRS OF MY LIFE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
AS TIME WENT ON MY HEART GREW SO WEAK.
I WAS PUT ON 3 DIFFERENT MEDICATION
THESE MEDICATIONS WERE THE ONLY WAY I COULD LIVE AND THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE.
I HAD TO HAVE THEM 2 X DAY.
BUT DID THAT STOP MY FAMILY? NEVER!
SADLY I NEW THAT THERE WERE TIMES MOM DAD GAVE UP THEIR OWN MEDICATIONS THEY NEEDED OR FOOD TO MAKE SURE I HAD LIFE SAVING MEDICATIONS I NEEDED.

THEY NEVER WENT FAR FROM HOME BECAUSE EVERYTHING IN THEIR LIFE WAS SCHEDULED AROUND MY NEEDS.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THERE ARE FEW OUT THERE WHO LOVE SO SELFLESSLY AS MOMMY & DADDY DID.
THOSE WHO DO ARE ANGELS ON EARTH.
TO A LIL STREET RAT LIKE ME.
WELL I LIVED A LONG LOVING LIFE. AND WHEN THAT FAITHFUL DAY ROLLED IN UPON US I GOT TO SEE THE REAL LOVE.
THE TRUEST TEST OF ALL.
AFTER BREAKING MY BACK IN A LIL FALL OR TWIST DR SAID AT MY AGE IT COULD HAD BEEN A COUGH. BUT AFTER 7 DAYS OF ROUND THE CLOCK MORPHINE AND MOM DAD SLEEPING WITH ME ON THE FLOOR..
THE FINAL GIFT THEY GAVE ME WAS THE ULTIMATE GIFT FROM A BELOVED FAMILY. AN HONOR SOME SAY... BESTOWED UPON A DOG/CAT OWNER .
THEY STAYED WITH ME AND HELD ME IN THEIR LOVING ARMS WITH TEARS STREAMING DOWN THEIR FACES AS I TOOK MY FINAL BREATH AND WITH MY LAST EXHALE I SET THEM FREE FROM MY VIEW..
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

THAT RAINY APRIL DAY
APRIL 17 2003
MY JOURNEY ENDED .
NOT ON THE STREETS STARVING TO DEATH.
BUT IN MOMMY & DADDY'S LOVING ARMS.

ADOPT A STREET RAT WE HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE...
OUR HEART IS FREELY GIVEN FOR A LIFETIME
JUST ADOPT US AND GIVE US THAT CHANCE.
MY FAMILY DID.
AND I GAVE THEM MY HEART FOR INFINITY



OUR TIME IS SLIPPING AWAY

HOW DO I HOLD ON TO YOU
AND STILL LOVE YOU ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO?
HOW WILL I PUT OUT THE LIGHT
WHEN INSIDE MY HEART THE FIRES GROW?
HOW DO I TURN BACK THE TIME
AND TURN DEATH FROM THE DOOR?
HOW WILL I FILL MY EMPTY ARMS
WHEN I CAN'T HOLD YOU ANYMORE?

HOW WILL I JUST STEP BACK AND LET THINGS BE AS THEY MUST.
HOW CAN I SAY GOOD -BYE
WHEN I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH.
HOW WILL I STAY WARM AT NIGHT,
WHEN YOUR NOT CUDDLED BY MY SIDE?
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THIS ?
LORD KNOWS HOW HARD I'VE TRIED.

HOW WILL I GIVE YOU BACK TO GOD
WHEN I FEEL THAT YOU ARE MINE.
HOW WILL I EVER ACCEPT THE FACT
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

EASTER MIRACLE -APRIL 4 2010

The warm sun is warming my ole bones this beautiful spring day.
My life has been a bit Topsy this past few months. We a baby 2 yrs old who moved in and the constant having to run faster then my ole legs can travel.but i am getting mighty good at dodging him..
He is cute don't get me wrong. Then the loss of my fur sister Has been very hard at times.
then Easter day i felt the world move and it frightened me so badly. i live in Calif so we feel the earth move a lot.but nothing like this .it made me throw up a lot.
but i think that was Cali flapping her big ole wings..I know she kept us safe for she is my angel with Puppie now.watching over me and mommy and daddy and the whole family.
So this years Easter day was filled with blessing..the
BIGGEST BEING LIFE.
this could have been the BIG ONE they they been predicting.and it could have slipped us all into the Pacific Ocean.but we were safe
our Easter Miracle i call it
Easter Day April 4 2010 Cali was hit with a 7.2 Earth Quake and we are all OK
That is a miracle

LETTER FROM THE BRIDGE FROM PUPPIE

Oh momma looks.
Aren't they just the most beautiful wings you ever seen?
I fly so fast and everywhere with just a thought.
Mom I have been with you all day today mommy. When you were typing my story I was lying next to your chair. When you were decorating my page I was watching you. As you cried this morning I cried with you.
And as you open my special cedar box with my ashes in it I flew up into the air so you could inhale me. Never think that I’m gone I'M NOT.I AM in your thoughts your prayers you laughter your tears. every memory ever day that we walked together for over 19 yrs. how could I not be with you, I know that you feel me climb on the bed sometimes late when you’re sleeping. You are not dreaming I am there watching your every breath as you sleep. Lately I have been staying much closer to you’d know you have been very sick. And maybe, just maybe our days together are not so very far away. It is not for me to say. Thank you everyone for my wings. bambina I love ya lots .and tunner you were such a helper to mommy to, thank you for your selfless gift.
Well I must go home now momma.dont you cry.i'm always only a thought away oxoo puppie 2/22/07
