It's Been a Good Life

Later this evening I am going to Rainbow Bridge. My mom is crying really badly, but it is the right thing. I will miss her, but I look so forward to seeing Bucko, Henry and Fred. I wonder if Bucko still has bad breath and buries her bones on TOP of the carpet? I wonder if Henry still likes to lay in a recliner and has silky fur. Does Fred still eat the pond fishes' food and blow bubbles in the water as he gets each piece?

I have had much fortune in my life. First, the wonderful man who found me at a campground and realized I was homeless. He took the time and effort to take me with him and get me to the animal shelter. Four days later, a lady (my mom) and three kids came in to the shelter and I picked them to leave with and make a forever home. They even took care of me when I had puppies 2 months later and found homes for four of them and still have 2 of them (they are almost 13 years old now!).

I have had a big backyard to guard. I don't know if my two kids and my step-son are up to the task, but at least I kept the wild animals out for almost 14 years! I've had so many fun trips going camping and going to the mts. of North Carolina. It was really fun when the kids and my mom would sneak me into the backseat of the suburban without my dad knowing. About half way to our destination they would get me to sit up. Dad would just laugh.

I have an eletrically heated dog house that my dad made for me. That's special! I could go on and on. But to the point....I have had a great life and wish a life like mine for all puppies. Lily Pad, take care of Mom and Dady. With love, Camper Dog (Mamadog)
