I am soooooo busy...but really HAPPY!

Wow...things have been really hectic lately...Dante and I have been entertaining at our home and have also been traveling with furriends! We had Tiffy, Bear Doggie and the boys over for dinner and a swim and then we were off to SC with our new furriend Penny and her family. So far, this has been a whirlwind...Dante and I are blissfully happy and love spending all our time together.
We have also been busy visiting our families. My mommy has been under the weather so Dante and I checked in on her and gave her some doggie sugar on her forehead to make her sleep better. Dante's mommy has been checking in on her by phone. We love Dante's mommy being so helpful...she is a wonderfurl furriend to my mommy.
Well, Dante is calling...we are headed out to spend the day flying to TN to see his sister who got in a fight with her brofur and got some booboos. Reyndie and Wishey must have wanted the same food and Wishey won. Garth stayed with Reyndie last night to make her booboos better.
Ta ta for now...
Woofs & wiggles...

Afterlife is perfect...

I feel I must write and make my mommy and Dante's mommy feel better...they seem to both be feeling our loss a lot lately...mommy found some new pictures of me that she is going to scan onto her computer and it made her shed some tears and that called me from the bridge to check on her. Also, Dante's mommy is feeling so guilty about not being there when Dante went to the bridge. Honestly, if we can cross without their help, it is just fine...that way our parents don't have to always remember that last earth breath or that last earth heartbeat. Garth was with mommy when he crossed and she can remember every second of it and it makes her cry so much. Garth tries to wipe her tears and make her feel a bit better. She knows that Garth is happy now at the bridge and making new furriends but that doesn't make things all better. I know that she is content with the fact that she was there with me all night and when she left me for a few minutes, I took the opportunity to cross...Bear was waiting for me and he took me into his big wings and carried me to the bridge. Dante's mommy was right there beside him, she was sleeping so sweetly and we were very careful not to wake her. Dante knows that she loved him so much and he is happy that his last years were the best in his life. Dante won't tell me what his life was before his mommy and daddy because he said it wasn't complete til he met them. I know what he means...I lived in a mean ole kennel and had no one to play with me and then one day, my mommy came to get me. My life began that day. I had 15 wonderfurl years with my mommy and daddy and I will be faithful and loyal and wait for them here however long it takes.
We are happy here...we are happy there...we are everywhere...
look for the signs...you will know...
with love to mommy, daddy, mommy Tonia & daddy Danny

Fixing up the dogpartment!

Oh...I have been sooooo busy lately! I got some new curtains for the windows and they are so beautiful. They are long and billowy and they float when the breeze blows in. I didn't want anything that would block the view of the lake and the rainbow bridge in the background. Dante and I can sit on the balcony and sip on gingerale and watch the kitties and pups frolic down in the park. I put up some pictures too...pictures of Dante's family and my family. I got some really nice frames and they look so good on the wall and we have two special pictures on the mantle above the fireplace...our mommies and daddies. They are in a special spot and we can cuddle by the fire and gaze at them whenever we want.
Dante has been such a big help picking out the colors and such. He is also quite the whiz in the kitchen. He and I cook together...he helps me wash up the dishes too! What a wonderful boyfurriend I have!
Well, we are headed out to swim...or I should say HE is going to swim...I will just sit in the glorious sun and put my toes in.
I am going to make sure Dante puts lotion on since he doesn't have a lot of hair and we don't need a burn...bol
Time to go...

Our new dogpartment!

Oh...I am the happiest pup at the bridge...Dante and I have gotten a dogpartment near a beautiful lake! I have already begun decorating...with his input of course...bol
We are going to make it comfortable so that all of our bridge family and furriends can come over and visit and relax with us!
I love the view of the lake from our balcony...it is just glorious and the rainbow is always shining over the bridge. Dante was so happy to see the lake as he is an accomplished swimmer. I can't say the same...I was quite a rock whenever I tried to swim. My mommy got me a life preserver to help me in case I ever fell in the water. I may stick my paws in and get wet whenever Dante wants to go swimming and I have told him that I will toss his rubber chicken in so he can get it.
I am soooooo happy my sweet Dante is here with me...he is my everything!

Monday...the beginning...

First of all, I have to say, Monday wasn't quite the beginning...as a matter of fact, it was almost a year ago that it began. One day, after my mommy found Dogster, I received a wonderful PPR from a family welcoming me and my brofur Garth to the bridge. One of the family members was a gorgeous pup named Dante. Fortunately for me, he started writing to me directly and we had such fun! He was an earth doggie and I a bridge doggie but it didn't matter...I would hide his toys and play games of hide and seek with him...it was wonderful. One special day, he asked me to be his girlfurriend! I was soooooooo happy and honored to be his and he mine. I was especially happy after getting my wings because I could fly and visit him anytime I wanted and I did every night. We would curl beside each other and I would wrap my wings around him tightly and he would sleep and I would watch over him. Through us, my brofur started talking to his sisfur, Reyndie and they fell in love too! It was nice to have Garth to fly to visit with me and he and Reyndie would snuggle and love on each other.
I knew that one day, Dante would be with me at the bridge but I was content to have him on earth with his mommy and daddy until God felt it was time for him to come to me.
That brings me to Monday. I knew Dante wasn't feeling well and I never left his side. He had surgery on Friday and just never felt good afterward and I knew that I needed to be there...
Monday morning, really early, I wrapped my wings around him as he was called to the bridge. I flew with him and took him to meet all the bridge pups and kitties and let him feel the love and joy that comes from being there. He had just had a haircut so he looked and smelled wonderful and he suddenly had the most beautiful smile to go along with it! Honestly, I felt so special to have such a handsome boyfurriend!
The bad part is that his mommy didn't know he was going to the bridge. There was no way to tell her...I gave my mommy a weird feeling in her tummy about Dante's condition but she didn't want to say anything to his mommy. What if the feeling was just that...a feeling...she would have made his mommy worry and that was NOT what we wanted to happen.
Thankfully, his mommy called my mommy early in the morning so they could talk and cry together...it always helps to have someone to feel what you are feeling...it shares the burden. Since then, I have been sending little hints to Dante's mommy to call my mommy and viseversa...that is the best way to heal.
Dante and I are very busy now...we are getting a dogpartment near the lake...we will decorate it nicely and I will even let him bring his rubber chicken...
I am very happy to have my Dante with me furrever and ever.
