Mom was at Trader Joe's with Cassandra when someone said, "Hi." It happened to be Marit, my groomer. Marit told me Mommy that I was the most confident dog she had ever groomed, and that she misses me!!! She has my picture on her wall! Mom told her it has been a year, and she is ready to get a new dog from a rescue. I hope she gets one. It will make her feel less sad. My Mom has lots and lots of love to give a new puppy, and PC needs a friend. Mom, get a puppy!!!
It has been a year since I went to the Rainbow bridge. On July 23 at 3:28 PST in the afternoon I made my journey to the Rainbow Bridge while Mom was overseas. She said goodbye to me on the phone. Tomorrow Mom and PC will celebrate my first Rainbow crossing. I would have turned 8 this year. We do not celebrate July 23 as a day of loss but as a day of thankfulness for having me for seven years in their lives. I was a fun and loving pup, full of energy and antics.
Mom will set up a Raja Babu Fund for me at the no-kill Green Hill Humane Society in Eugene. Sometime this summer, she will sprinkle my ashes in Yachats Beach by the Pacific. PC and Mom have bonded in my absence. As Mom tells PC, all good things end, but they leave their legacy. My kitty sister Poka is thriving. One of these days, a new pup will be adopted. Our family is thankful for all the bounty they have, and all the love they have had from STAFU and Dogster friends.
To friends old and new, we ask you do something naughty and fun to remember me, Raja Babu Always.
