A new star tonight

There will be a new star tonight in the skies as my dear pal Woody made his journey to the Bridge today.

Momma J, we are so sorry for the loss of this special boy. You were a great support when I made my journey to the Bridge, and please feel free to call on my momma if you need to.

Woody, we love you and will never forget you. You have a very special spot in our hearts now and always.

Run free and healthy at the Bridge dear boy.

Thank you

Thank you everyone that sent those lovely Easter egg baskets to Buddy and myself! They look ever so nice on our pages and we hope that all of our pals had a wonderful Easter.

Power of the Paw for Kipper

Pals, my sweet pal, Kipper, has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He has gone blind from the tumor and is very disoriented. The pressure from the tumor is causing him to have nosebleeds. The doctors say there isn't much they can do for the little fella. We don't know how much time dear Kipper has and I know this is very difficult for his momma right now.

Much love to you Kipper and momma Linda. We are here for you whenever you need us.

Thank you once again

Thank you once again for the rosettes and pawmails you wonderful pups sent me on my gotcha day yesterday.

As daddy had to go away yesterday on another business trip, I made sure Buddy kept mom busy so she didn't feel too down.

Hugs to all.

The First Gotcha Day Without You

..... I shall see beauty
but none to match your living grace. I shall hear music
but none as sweet as the droning song
with which you loved me.
I shall fill my days
but I shall not, cannot forget,
Sleep soft, dear friend ...
Michael Joseph

It was 12 years ago today that you came into our family. We think about you daily, sweet girl, and remember the time we had together.

We love you, we miss you, rest easy dear Abby.

Thank you, Abbykins

Little girl, last night I had the most vivid dream that you came to say hi. You were scratching your blanket on the floor beside my side of the bed as you always did and you were circling before lying down. I actually got out of bed and touched the floor because the dream felt so real.

Not a day goes by that we don't think of you sweet girl.

Thank you for the visit, Abbykins.

"...I could tell you the story of my life through the dogs I have loved. I could tell you the story of the losses in my life through their deaths. Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love and loyalty. They depart to teach us about loss. We try to replace them, but never quite succeed. A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big"

We love you, we miss you so much, rest easy Abbykins.

Thank you!

Thank you to all the pups that sent me Valentine Candy and other rosettes for Valentine's Day. It brought a tear to mom's eye knowing that I was still being thought of by my pals!

Thanks you all again. We love you all!

Happy and Sad today

I am looking down from my cloud today and I am both happy and sad.

I am happy because my good pal, Harley Diva-Girl is this week's Dog of the Week. What a pawsome choice she is! She is an awesome therapy dog and just a wonderful pup all round. Have fun in the Dogster spotlight this week, Harley Diva-Girl!

I am sad because my pawsome pal, Ty has joined me at the Bridge. Ty was dumped in his old age at shelter by a friend of his owner's. This friend was to have looked after Ty while his owner was deployed overseas. Luckily Ty found another loving home and spent the last three years being loved. Ty developed a Mast Cell Carcinoma and due to his age (15 years) and his severe arthritis, he was kept comfortable for as long as possible. Welcome to the Bridge sweet, Ty. Sending love and thoughts to your family at this sad time.

Thank you all

I would like to say thank you to everyone that helped me celebrate my first birthday at the Bridge on Saturday. It is overwhelming all the rosettes and pawmails I received and mom and I really appreciate you helping us get through that day.

You pals are the best and we love each and every one of you!

Hugs!

I Am With You Still

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still -- do not weep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone --
I am with you still -- in each new dawn.

Thinking of you Abbykins on your first birthday at the Bridge. May you have many of your favorite salmon skin rolls today, many runs in the grass and swims in the river.

We love you, we miss you, rest easy Abbykins.
