Rainbow Bridge Day-April1,2008***A Letter to MY Angel- Ramona***

I miss:
>Your beautiful face
>You begging for egg whites after I crack boiled eggs
>You escorting me to and from the bathroom
>You snuggling up to my legs at bedtime
>Your "baby" sounds when you first wake in the mornings
>Racing you to the bed at bedtime
>My car riding buddy
>You staying in another room while I hide treats, then you coming back to
find them. You had a great sniffing ability!
>Having you to talk to when I am by myself.
>Giving your little shoulders and legs massages. You really enjoyed that.
>Seeing you walk around the house in your favorite two-toned pink striped dress. You were so proud. It's the only clothing you would wear.
>Seeing you get so excited when Daddy comes home.
>People oooing and ahhing over you
>Ramona....I miss Everything about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>I could go on forever but this is draining me. I know you have made lots of good friends. You are a very sweet little girl. Who wouldn't like you and all the other pups at the bridge. I still don't want another baby. I have your fur-brother Ruben and you know what a handful he is!!!! He found one of your old blankies that Mommy thought she had put away. He was doing some sort of "chanting" and dragging it around. Not sure what it was all about. My birthday is coming up. I asked your Mommy not to give me a new card this year. I want her to take one of the old ones that has your paw-print in it and put it in a special memory frame. I sure am going to miss seeing your paw-prints on cards. Your crossing anniversary is coming up also. We are planning a little ceremony to remember you.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND MISS YOU. I KEEP YOUR PICTURE UP ABOVE THE COMPUTER SO I CAN SEE YOU EVERYDAY

i have to go. i cannot see clearly now

LOVE,
MOMMA

Angel of the Week--Jan. 20-26

I was Angel of the Week in the Rainbow Bridge Angel Babies Group. This is a great honor! I made lots of new friends. I was treated like a Princess and enjoyed every bit of it. This group has so many wonderful pups and Moms. They are all about helping and consoling others in need. They have been so good to MOMMA and me. I want to thank you all for all the rosettes, stars, special gifts, PPR's and especially the love you have shown.

Remembering Ramona

Hello all. I would like to tell some things that I miss about Ramona that could also be memories. Ramona's adoption day is approaching and I am having flashbacks of her :

I miss--
--being escorted to and from the bathroom
--Ramona charging into the kitchen when she hears a boiled egg being cracked. She loved the egg white. You know, I didn't boil an egg from May to Thanksgiving because I couldn't stand not seeing her there begging for the egg white.
--my little recliner partner. She always sat in my recliner with me and kept it warm if I wasn't in it.
--not taking Ramona on car rides and people wanting to talk and play with her.
--Ramona not sticking her head between me and the newspaper.
--the warmth of her little body against the back of my legs at night.
-- watching her lay on the back of the sofa watching for Daddy to get home.
--being greeted when I walk in the door.
--all of what Ramona is!

One cute little memory of Ramona:

Ramona was really shy at first. She would hide anywhere she would fit. She hated the vacuum cleaner. I got to looking for her one day after vacuuming and could not find her. I knew she couldn't get outside. I was frantic with worry. After a while I heard a faint whine and started looking anywhere she might be. I was in the washroom and the whine was more clear. I opend the cabinet door....no Ramona. Looked behind washer/dryer....no Ramona. The last thing I did was open the dryer door and there she was. She looked so pitiful. Her ears were way down and she was trembling. Then I remembered, she must have jumped in there while I was vacuuming and I shut the door not knowing she was there. I took her, like a baby, cuddled her and rocked her in my arms speaking sofly to her. I promise you, she was crying tears.( is that possible?)
I put a gate up to the washroom so she could not go in there again. Just like I would have done for my own child. I miss her.

Ramona's MOMMA(Alice)

RUBEN......!!!

I have to share this ....it's so funny!

My fur-bro Ruben is six years old. He has played with nothing but tennis balls since the family adopted him. last night MOMMA and Daddy were playing with him and he started nipping at his tail. MOMMA thought something was wrong so she and Daddy checked him out. He's OK. They kept watching him nipping at his tail and wondering what was wrong. Finally he started spinning in circles. MOMMA was scared. She thought it was some kind of seizure. Daddy told Ruben to stop or he'd get dizzy. Well when Ruben finally did stop, Daddy busted out laughing. MOMMA got mad . She still thinks somethings wrong. Well here he goes into another "tail-spin." When he stopped both MOMMA and Daddy busted out laughing. Ruben could not walk straight!!!! He was tripping and stumbling, even fell forward onto his little head. He had found his tail for the first time ever. After a few of these episodes, Ruben jumped up on the sofa, grabbed his tail and just held it in his mouth. Everytime he nipped his tail he would whimper, all the while holdin his tail in his mouth. He is so comical!!

By the way, we are not blood-related!!!!

A song for Ramona

I wish I could tell you
The things I never got the chance to
I wish I was with you now
To see you smile again
I wish we had more time
But time goes by so fast

The moment comes and
Then the moment passes by
In the blink of an eye

And If I had one wish
I Wouldn't ask for money
I wouldn't ask for fame
I wouldn't ask for the power to
Make this world change
If I could have one thing
That one thing that I would chose
Is one more ordinary day with you
With you

I wish I could see you
And be there where my arms could reach you
I wish I could let you know
How much you touch my life
Maybe a little time is all the time we get
The Words we long to say are words that go unsaid
You can go back again

But if I had one wish
I Wouldn't ask for money
I wouldn't ask for fame
I wouldn't ask for the power to
Make this world change
If I could have one thing
That one thing that I would chose
Is one more ordinary day
With you

I wish we had more time
Time goes by so fast
The moment comes and
Then the moment passes by
In the blink of an eye

But if I had one wish
I Wouldn't ask for money
I wouldn't ask for fame
I wouldn't ask for the power to
Make this world change, no
If I could have one thing
That one thing that I would chose
Is one more ordinary day
Just one more ordinary day with you
With you


Nick Lachey - Ordinary Day Lyrics

Oh (my) Brother!!!!!

Well, MOMMA still has not put a tree up, so I don''t think there will be one in their house this year. MOMMA says she doesn't want to look at a tree if her Sweet Ramona is not under it.

They went shopping today and MOMMA kept looking at all the pretty toys for "me." She just won't stop! Daddy wanted to get my brother,Ruben, something besides a tennis ball this year for Christmas. Well he found a toy with 2 tennis balls on a twisted rope. He said Ruben would love it. He loved it all right! He did not stop 'til he had both balls in pieces all over MOMMA'S rug!! Then he had the nerve to roll in the pieces. MOMMA and Daddy laughed so hard at him. He is so ungrateful sometimes!!

MOMMA has been upset today. Her best friend told her about some baby mini Dachshunds a friend of hers is selling. They are black and tan and 11 weeks old.(same age as me when I was adopted) MOMMA played with the idea of a new baby and decided she did not want one right now. Also, she prefers red smooth minis. I just don't know when she'll be ready. :(

My 6th Birthday(the day after)

It is the day after my birthday. WOW, I can't put into words how happy I am at this moment. So many birthday wishes and gifts, and especially LOVE from everyone. I still missed my MOMMY, MOMMA, and DADDY :(. I hope I can make everyone feel as great when you special days come up.

wags,kisses, and hugs to ALL!!!!!!

My 6th Birthday

My 6th birthday is Nov 14th. I am so sad because this will be my first birthday without my family. I can see MOMMA at the computer. I think she is doing me a Happy Birthday page for this month. We are all going to miss being together when MOMMY and Bryant bring my presents to me.sniff sniff I am sad, sad, sad.
