"Dear sweet Damon, #766139, has joined his Brother, Arthur Forever Wiggling, at the Bridge. He will always be in our hearts and the hearts of all who knew him."
"The one who saved my heart from breaking apart--Dixie BlackPearl from the Humane Society Calumet Area. She gave us a reason to get up in the morning..."
"Please welcome the newest member to The Chicago Crew, Burt, Dogster #1048888. Burt came from the same shelter as Dixie, & was born on WINston's 9th Birthday!"
"The second Triple Dog family -- HoneyBunny, WINston XXLP, and Remo the Red, with Dad and Mum in their snazzy As Good as Gold--Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois shirts -- September 2005"
We will no longer be active on Dogster, and this will be our last posting.
To our friends, we will keep you close in our hearts.
We are forever grateful for the support you gave us the summer of 2008.
Thanks for the memories...
With love,
The Pearls and The Chicago Crew of Angels
One of our oldest Dogster pals, Qunicy, #51184, brother to Cosmo, lost his fight against the dreaded C. After all three of the Chicago Crew went to the Bridge in the summer of 2008, Sully & Socks sent us this card, which I share with Quincy's family:
Why?
That's what we ask,
The truth is,
we may never know
for sure why.
But we do know
that there is no single
"should have done"
or "could have done"
or "did" or "didn't do"
that would have
changed that why.
A wise man once said "When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight". We choose to remember the days you came into our lives, not the terrible days that you left...
Sweet LuckyLucy celebrated her 11th Birthday/Gotcha Day (2nd at the Bridge) on July 31st. We've written a diary entry on her page in celebration.
Thank you so very much for all the joy you brought to our lives and to the lives of all who met you in your work for As Good as Gold, Golden Retriever Rescue of Northern Illinois.
