Thank you from the bottom of my heart...

Hi!

This is Sammy, Molly and Pongo's mom, Mishy writing. I wanted to thank all of my wonderful Dogster and Catster friends for sharing their thoughts, wishes, and prayers for us after the loss of my dear husband Ernie. It meant a tremendous amount to us, especially since we have no family in the area and it really made me feel a lot less alone in this world. Thank you again, I will never forget your kindness...

momma's had some very bad news...

We've had some very sad news...momma's sweet husband Ernie, pased away on March 2. She is devastated and so is my earth sister Pongo. Please say a prayer for Ernie that he is swiftly on his way to heaven....

I'm entered in Dogster's World's Coolest Dog Contest!!!

Mom entered me in Dogster's World's Coolest Dog contest. I hope that I get some votes. Mom says I am the cutest dog ever, but I think she is probably just a little biased :-))

Sorry I haven't been around...

My momma lost her job in August so it has been kind of a rough time at home. Because of that, we haven't been online very much and momma feels badly because she feels like she ignored our many dogster friends. She says she's sorry and she hopes you will all forgive her....

Mommy and Pongo are back from the Vet - she is feeling a little better :-))

Hi from Pongo's mommy,

Thank you for the kind thoughts. I just got back to work. The vet took an xray so we know she didn't swallow anything and there were no suspicious lumps or bumps. They took blood but the results won't be back until tomorrow, however the concensus is either food poisoning, gastritis, or a stomach ulcer from the Deramaxx (anti-imflammatory for arthritis) that they started her on a month ago.

We'll know more tomorrow, but the gave her fluids sub-quetaneous and some shots to settle her tummy. The vet said to let her have small amounts of water tonight and try boiled rice and hamburger tomorrow. She also gave us an antibiotic but we can't start her on it until she eats so it won't upset her tummy. In any case, it looks like we dodged the bullet on something more serious (my biggest fear of course). Thank you so much for all of your pawsative thoughts and prayers. I think they made a difference :-))

Spring is here!!!!!

My mom has been doing a lot of thinking about me and my fursister Samantha lately. Spring days and butterflies...Mom has been taking my earth fursister Pongo on lots of long walks and enjoying the weather. Spring is a beautiful time of year. Unfortunately she also starts thinking about how much she enjoyed taking me and Samantha for walks and it makes her sad that we aren't there anymore for her to do that. She knows we are happy and healthy here at the Rainbow Bridge while we wait to be together again, but that doesn't ease the pain in her heart from missing us.

Vacation

Well Mom will be on vacation until Monday Sept 24. She will have limited access to a computer so we wanted to let all my doggie pals know that we will see you soon!

National Pet Memorial Day a letter to Molly from Mommy

Since National Pet Memorial Day is tomorrow, I wanted to take a moment and say just how much Molly meant to me by writing her a letter.

Dear Molly,

Even though you were only with us for a short while, you managed to get into and remain in our hearts. We miss you every single day and look forward to the day when we can be together again. We love you Molly. Mommy so wishes that we could have had longer than 3 and a half weeks together, but Mommy knows that someday we will stay together for all eternity.

Mommy and Daddy

The Nature of Dog...

When God had made the earth and sky,
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
and the birds and bees.

and when his work was finished
and not one was quite the same,
He said "I'll walk this earth of mine
and give each one a name".

and so He traveled land and sea
and everywhere he went,
a little creature followed Him
until it's strength was spent.

When all were named upon the earth
and in the sky and sea,
the little creature said:
"Dear Lord, there's no name left for me!"

The Father smiled softly and said,
"I've left you til the end,
I've turned my own name back to front
and called you "DOG", my friend".
