Arrival Story:
My mom had a dog before me, his name was Beavis, I didn't know him. But I've seen pictures and I've heard stories. He sounds like he was a cool guy. But he got very sick when he was only 4 years old and he died. My mom says she wasnt ready for a new puppy and just wanted to see my doggy mom and dad and talk to their mom and dad(my grandparents?). My mom told the lady that only a tri colored male would do and to call her when the next litter was born and the nice lady said wait, I've got one left that's a tri colored male. The lady with my mom (my Aunt Jeni) said go look at him. They went and found me and my mom and I locked eyes and she said she'd take me. And then I was in the car with my new mom and Aunt Jeni. Aunt Jeni was nice, she let me curl around her butt so I would stay warm on the drive home, now I call her butt lady cuz I like to curl around her butt whenever she's in town. I went to work with my new mom the next day and she worked at a vet hospital. The doctor there said I had a Patent Ductous Aeortus (it's a hole in my heart, why didn't they just say hole in my heart?). My mom said that was ok and that we'd fix it. I had the surgery when I was 8 weeks old. I was brave and ever since then, I could race around and around and around and not get tired. Now I'm a little older and calmer but I can still play for hours and hours if I want to.

Bio:
In January of 2004, I ran out in my back yard and hurt my leg. Nobody knows how I did it, it's a secret and I'm not telling. I had to have surgery, but I was very brave. A few weeks later it hurt again and the doctor said it didn't work, we'd have to do it again, I was brave then too. But after that surgery, I still couldn't walk, and it still hurt a lot. They tried physical therapy, and bandages and all kinds of stuff, but it didn't work, I still couldn't walk on it. Then they said I should have an amputation, and I didn't know what it meant, but I had to have surgery AGAIN. I was brave then too, but it was getting a little tiresome. When I woke up.............GUESS WHAT??? THEY TOOK MY LEG!!!! It was ok though cuz I didn't hurt anymore. Everybody was crying and stuff around me but I tried to tell them it's ok, I didn't need 4 legs, 3 was plenty. I made my mom laugh when I tried to lift my other leg to pee and I did a handstand and she said then she knew I'd be ok. I haven't let it slow me down - just ask my cousin Duke, and the kitties Savanna and Tiny. Savanna and Tiny don't like me, but that's ok, they don't let me play with them anyways cuz I like to chew on kitties and kitties don't like that.

Well, my friends. I have been at the Bridge for a whole year now. I miss my pals and my aunties and my sister and my boy and my mom too. But I'm doing good here. I still keep an eye out on all my pals (especially Sophie!!!). And I watch over Max and Sami too!


Thank you Angel

Puppy Paws

Ten years of puppy paws moved outside today.
Inside my heart is breaking,
the Light of my Life - Lyle, has gone away.

I held his head, kissed his blurry eyes, and said "I Love You, Boy"
With gentle hands and heavy heart, I released his soul to God, crying for his spirit to be free.
Never dreamed it would hurt so much,
Guess I wasn't thinking much of Me.

But he must be missing something,
he left his paws upon my heart.
Kind reminders of the time we had together,
I never wanted him to be the first to part.

They tug as fiercely as the shoestrings he once played with;
the tug of wars together, the one's I let him win.
The "tennies", the toys, all the things he loved speak about his passing and I fall apart again.

Those little puppy "grunts" and kisses seem so far away.
I cry: "What was I thinking?
I said it'd be OK."

I said; "I'll be alright without you, If you really have to go.
No need for you to fret or worry,
we had our chance to love each other so."

Our final road together remains yet to be seen.
Puppy paws can be so gentle,
the pain they leave in passing, so mean.

"I'll hold them safely in my heart", I tell Him;
"but I'll let them run at will.
When we cross the Bridge together,
I know they will be still."

In Loving memory of Lyle
June 7, 1997 to October 8, 2007


Thank you for the poem Tobie

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.

I was with you at the shops today, your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today, you tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "It's me."

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be so near you every day.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is almost over... I smile and watch you yawning
And say, "Goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.
