It's been a long time since I posted. the past few weeks have been extra rough for my mommy and daddy and brothers (my kitty brother Xander came and joined me at the bridge), so I have been down by earth more than usual lately.

today was bridge day - when we get messages from our earth-families. Last year, mommy hadn't realized that special messages could be delivered today, so I didn't get any mail. But today, a letter came from mommy.

Sweet Lukey,

My darling boy, I will always love you. You were always the sweet pup, who enjoyed cuddling and was so tolerant of Bo's energy and playfulness. You were most definitely gone too soon. If I'd known then that you would be with us for such a short time, I would have made sure that I spent every waking moment with you. But I didn't, and so I wasted time at work and spent time with daddy when you couldn't go with us. I'm sorry.

I know that lately you have been nearby while I have been sad. Thank you for caring for Baby when she joined you at the bridge last summer, and for caring for Xander when he joined you a few weeks ago. And, thank you for helping us find Othello and Falstaff to be Bo's new friends soon after you went to the bridge. I know that you know they didn't replace you; but I also know that we would never have found such sweet dogs without your help.

Please look after Bo now. He's upset about Xander, and so is your daddy. They both need your calming presence right now. I know that you have made lots of new furriends at the bridge, and that you probably have fun stuff going on every day, so if you could just swing by and check on them once a day or so, that would be wonderful. And thank you sweet boy. Thank you for being in my life - for showing me just how loving a dog can be, and for showing me how wonderful you were. I miss you sweetie.

Mommy
