It's my Bithday!

Well, another year older. But! I have a secret, you never age here at the rainbow bridge! We are all young and beautiful here. We run and play with no aches, no pain, just happy little puppies running all over the place. We even have cats here! And we get along with them! There is every kind of animal you could imagine here and we all get along. The only thing I, being the connoisseur of food, don't like here is, THERE IS NO FOOD! I plan on taking this up with management tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes. Anyways," Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear Buffy, happy birthday to me". Bye!

The day i had to leave

Well, today is July 5th and one year ago today, i had to go on my journey early. It's almost time to leave to go to the Doctor. I am really sick and it's hard to breath but i came home with Mommy last night, to say goodbye to Paulie and my Papa, to my much loved sister, Sam and to my buddy, Josh and even to my love/hate person, Ed, but most of all, i needed to be with my Mommy. She isn't doing too well with this but she is really brave for making the decision she had to make. Now the time is near and i must be brave for Mommy because she wants to just grab me and run somewhere and wait for a miracle. But i am ready i told her, I hurt and can't breath and i don't want to be in the hospital for two hours a day for the rest of my life. My Mommy believes in quality of life and i wouldn't have one, so she knows what she must do.
Here she comes, she is softly picking me up and we are going out to the car.
Ed is driving and my human sister, Sam, is in the back seat and Mommy has me in her arms, tears are running down her cheeks and i wish i could make her laugh just one more time. We are here. Mommy is carrying me into the doctors room. Everyone is petting and loving me and saying goodbye. The doctor is here now and tells my Mommy to let her know when it was time. Mommy is crying and kissing my cheek like i always liked. I look into Mommy's eyes and tell her it is time and she tells the doctor. Things are getting dark around me but i hear my Mommy saying over and over, I love you, Mommy loves you.

One of my mess memories

One day i was bored and i thought i was starving too. Mommy's purse was just sitting there, begging to be gone through. Well, i had to do it, it was begging! Later Mommy found a real mess, her purse stuff and gum wrappers was spread all over the livingroom floor. Notice i said gum wrappers, no gum. Owwww my stomach! Well, she came to me and asked if i knew who did it and before i could stop myself i was howl talking and telling her all about how and what i did! She was laughing so hard, tears were coming from her eyes! And she even took a picture of the mess! She didn't get mad at all! Wow, i'm a lucky dog! But, i never lived it down with Paulie. She always teased me about how i told on myself. I would always come back with, i never lie but next time i'll tell her, Paulie did it!

Paulie, my new sister comes to us

One day, i had been in my new home for about a year and my mommy asked me if i would mind sharing our love with a new sister. I said no, in fact i would love it! Well, mommy went somewhere a couple days later and came home and told me we were going to meet my new sister the next day. She told me her name is Paulie and she had been treated very badly by a backyard breeder and her three puppies had died. She said, not all puppies are treated with love and respect and i should thank God for what i had. I had never seen my Mommy so serious and i for the first time, was not a clown.
The next day came and i was so excited, I was getting a new sister! Mommy said paulie would be my Big sister because she was 5 and i was 1, but also she was alot bigger! Anyways, the time came and the doorbell sounded, mommy opened the door and i saw her, Oh! she doesn't have any hair either! WOW! I'm not the only one without hair! I loved my new sister because she didn't have to be the boss, she let me. She barked at me after a little time to let me know where and how far i could go with her but she was pretty giving to me. She was very sad when she came to us but with our love, she became a very happy dog. I watch my sister Paulie from up here and i see she is getting very old. I will be here to put my paws around her when the time comes, because she is always a little afraid to go to new places. She will love it here, it is so beautiful and fun. I do miss my family though and my Mommy cries alot still but with time she will be alright. I'll be waiting for her, when the time comes.

My first Memory of Mommy

It was a hot July day when the breeder lady put me and three other puppies in the car and took us for a ride. We stopped and the lady opened the door and i saw her for the first time. She picked me up right away and i knew then, that i had a Mommy. She said to the lady, "This One", and i felt the love and warmth right away. We got into mommy's car and she held me in her arms the whole way back, while my new Daddy drove. We stopped on the way home to show my new human sister, Me! Sam is her name and when she saw me, she said, " what is it! It has no hair" But after the shock, she came around to be one of my admirer's. We left there and went home, where Shasta was waiting. Shasta was my new dog sister and she was very nice to me. She wanted to be my Mommy but i told her i had one already. Shasta was very old and she left us a year later. I missed her alot. Mommy cried alot and i tried to make her feel better by being a clown and it helped some, but Shasta will always be remembered and loved in our hearts. In my next entry, i will write about my meeting with my new sister, Paulie. Till then, love your puppies with all your heart, they will give you all of themselves.
