A note from Velvet

one year annifursary

its a year now since I arrived at the bridge, and I continue to make new friends almost every day, as new angels arrive.

I know mom thinks about me still - she looks at my pictures all the time, and she talks to me too. I'm glad Sniffers found her way to our house, it was just what mom needed.

our friend Murphy arrived at RB today

another black schnauzer joined us at Rainbow Bridge today, our good furiend Murphy from Ontario. We know his family is very sad right now, and I can see that this has made my mom cry all over again too. There's something very special about us black schnauzies.

There She Goes - Here She Comes..

Let us picture in our minds a beautiful blue lagoon on a clear day.
A fine sailing ship spreads her brilliant white canvas in a fresh morning breeze and sails out to the open sea.
We watch her grow smaller and smaller as she nears the horizon. Finally, where the sea and sky meet she slips silently
from sight and someone near you says, "There, she is gone."

Gone where?
Gone from sight, that is all. She is still just as large in mast and hull,
still just as able to bear her load.
We can be sure that just as we are saying, "There, she is gone," another is saying, "There she comes!"

Life is eternal and love is immortal. And death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
As one door closes another opens.
While we are mourning the loss of a friend or loved one, others are
rejoicing to meet them again beyond the veil.

We love you Murphy.

At the Bridge

I arrived at the bridge on Thursday May 15; I left earth rather quickly with some nasty illness called Lymphoma. Well I dont have it now and I feel better than I have for some time. I caught up with Toby and Jessica, my brother and sister from my earth experience, and they have been showing me around and helping me settle in. It's very nice here and I am looking forward to meeting new friends.

We can look down on our old house, and see that mom and dad are feeling pretty sad. Mom is going to a schnauzer walk on Sunday - we used to go with her, but this time she will have to go alone. We're glad she is still going to go, because we know how much she loves schnauzers and needs to be around them. When the time is right we'll send her another little mini to love.
