"Tales from the World's Bestest Trailer Truckin' Dog

I crossed the Rainbow Bridge 7 yrs ago tomorrow...Aug 27/01

Mon Aug 27/01

Mommy called the vet's office & told them we were coming in.

Mommy & I had some special quiet time before we drove there.
She carried me in her arms all around our property.
I could have walked...but Mommy wanted to be really close.

It broke Mommy's heart. She held me so gently.
All my friends at the vets office were there with us.
They had a special bed made on the floor for all of us.
They all told me what a great pup I was.
They all told me how much they loved me.
Mommy was petting me.
I looked up into her eyes & then I kissed her face & tears.

I was gone quickly.
I didn't fight.
I was tired...really tired.
I knew I'd see many people I loved.

Daddy couldn't be there with Mommy.
He was way out in California.
When him & Mommy talked...he cried.

The vet kept me in a special place so Daddy could say Good Bye to me when he got home.

My other Gramma & kitties were there to welcome me.
I'm really happy here at the Rainbow Bridge.
The only terrible thing was when I had to welcome Daddy here.

Mommy still has such a hard time missing us.
We love her & watch over her all of the time.
I hope she sees us in her dreams tonight.

Daddy's birthday here at the Bridge with us

Today was a special day. It's Daddy's birthday. He's here at the Bridge with us (cause he thinks it's a special place to be)
We did all the things he likes to do. We walked....looking for birds & butterflies.
We sent out a special request that Mommy would see a hawk today.
Hawks always make her think of Daddy.

We watched over Mommy as she worked in Daddy's memory garden.
It's a hard week for her.....Daddy's crossing day is in a couple of days too.
Mommy hates April anymore. They use to really love it.

We'll see you tonight in your dreams Mommy.....
Daddy & I will come walk with you.
Remember the bench. Remember us all sitting together.
See you by the pond.

We love you Mommy....be gentle with yourself.

20 Years Ago Today

I was taken to my furever home. Mommy had waited so patiently over the holidays for me to be released from the pound. She didn't want the other people who had abandoned me to come back & claim me. She didn't feel mean for thinking that way either.
Boy, we all sure were happy. I never felt so loved in my whole life.
That very first week, I kind of ate a hole in one of Mommy's favourite sweaters & got ahold of her bestest teddy bear...but you know what?
She said it was her fault for leaving them down. She should have known better with a new doggy in the house.
She didn't beat me or even yell at me.

Mommy's got leeky eyes right now. She's thinking about how much she misses me, Daddy & the kitties. We all try to watch over her but she gets so lonely for us.
She thinking of all the good memories but they just make her cry more.

I had a wonderful life on earth with Mommy & Daddy. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I was loved so much. I know I'm still loved.

Sprinkling some angel dust on Mommy to help dry her tears. Whispering soft woofs in her ear...hoping she feels the gentle nuzzle on her cheek.
