3 Years at the Rainbow Bridge

Three years up here already and mom's been telling folks it still seems so surreal, that I should be right there with her, fussing for my din-din as she prepares the plates. I always barked, but Spike just sat there drooling patiently until his was placed in front of him. Thinking about that today made mom smile just a little. She ordered a special mini fur in my likeness a few weeks ago. Ms. Alice told mom she had a nice time with me and really felt like I was there with her as she worked. I saw her sitting there for a long time looking at my photos and reading about me, and then she began the process of bringing me back in mini form. It's not me, but it will bring lots of comfort to mom when she looks at that little mini every day. Of course, a little mini Spike will be right next to me. Oh what joys those little ones will bring to her. Thanks to the "D" Dogs mom for sharing the mini of Deacon which planted the seed fur mom to get us done.

I got a special message from Brewster which made mom cry, but it is a beautiful message. I've got to make it a part of my diary today. Here it is:

"It is not a lot to say when our humans miss us furs more on the day we crossed over onto rainbow bridge. It is a day to reflex on the life we had with them and how much we were loved and are still loved even after we have been gone. So let this date and future dates be a sweet and wonderful memories be with your family. For you have done your job on earth Sheba and now you are here to relax and be young and fly around. Many blessings to you Sheba for being the dog that you were and many blessings to your family for giving you the wonderful life on earth. Peace, Love, Laughter, & Happiness to all."

I'm a Diary Pick Today

Mom really needs to learn how to create those special diary of the day pics fur us cuz we are getting accolades, but she's not documenting them in frame.
I'm happy to report all us angel furs looked over little Rosie during her surgery yesterday as the dogtor was spaying her. Now Rosie is home again and on her road to recovery after a successful surgery. What a character that little one is. Mom knows I would have approved of her cuz she's so darn sweet, just like me.

Lots of Love and Memories

Well...we done it again...me and Spike! We sent another little one her way to help heal her still broken heart. She tells peeoples her heart is furever scarred cuz we each took pieces with us up here to the bridge. But she smiles again cuz she gots a reason to get moving:

First it's Jiffy cuz that little fellow needs lots of supervision as he is always getting into trouble! That little bugger chewed up his harness last week. And now we sent Rosie who by the way has white on her chest like me. Mom says she can't help but think of how much I loved them belly rubs when Rosie rolls over fur some. That girl has some of my habits. And she sleeps on her back with all fours in the air just like I used to do. That's cuz I instilled that in her before guiding her on the way to mom. Some moron took Rosie fur a ride and dumped her in the country like some idiot was going to do to me, but luckily dad brought me home to mom that Easter Sunday.

Mom is taking Rosie to get spayed tomorrow and can't help but think the last one she had spayed was me cuz Bella was already done before coming to live with us. Mom's are crazy aren't they?! I know they are full of worries when we go under fur surgeries and stuff. Tonight me, Spike and Miracle are flying down to sprinkle lots of angel dust while she is sleeping. It will help her get through tomorrow. I want mom to feel at ease and not be so anxious when visiting the vet's office, but I know nothing can take away all the love and memories she has fur us. xoxoxo

Not an Easter Goes By

that mom don't think of me cuz it was 15 Easters ago that dad brought me home. When he handed me over to mom that was it; love furever and ever. A love that never ends despite me being up here at the bridge fur a little over 2 years now. I am furever in mom's heart and I'll be the furst to greet her when it's her time to be called home...although Spike's gonna be right there at my side in the race. Mom misses us both even though she has that little Jiffy keeping her busy almost 24/7. That little rascal has been good fur mom. I'm glad we all found him to send him down there.

My 2nd Year at the Rainbow Bridge

Thank you to all my dear furiends fur thinking of me and my mom today as we mark our second year apart. Mom thinks about me every day. She still talks to me and has been having extra thoughts since moving last Friday. Even my skin bro made a comment to her this week saying it's too bad Sheba and Spike couldn't be there to enjoy the new big back yard. We would have had so much fun, but we can fly down to check it out every now and then. We're always there in mom's heart and on her mind. And she has that beautiful painting of us which will soon hang in her new office. Our rose bushes and special day lilies will soon be planted in the new yard as she dug those up today at the old place. Love never ends.

Thanks to Everyone Who Remembered Me Today

It made me feel good that so many of my furiends reached out to wish me Happy Woofday. We have so many in my furmily now that we understand it's too much to expect anyone to send us rosettes on all our special days. Then my Rainbow Bridge day is coming up next month to mark my 2nd year up here. Mom tries not to dwell on my last days with her, but tries to picture me bossing Spike around up here like I did when we was with her. Well, sometimes it didn't work cuz he was stubborn, but most of the time he would move when I barked. Mom is happy that me and Miracle's pink roses continue to grow in them pots. They already have lots of green leaves on them and could possibly bloom before my bridge crossing day next month. I see the springtime is coming down there and mom's been busy trimming bushes, cleaning and tidying up outside and in. I would have been helping her like I'd always done, but I see that little Jiffy boy everywhere she goes so I know she's got some help.

Poem for Dog Lovers

Written by Ginger Patton

Hello. I've been expecting you for quite some time.
Here, come sit beside us for awhile .
and let me tell you about this old friend of mine.
She might look tattered or maybe old
But I won't say goodbye until you've been told.
She had the brightest eyes I had ever seen,
And wore a beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen .
She was never prissy but walked with an aire ......
And oh so polite, you could take her most anywhere.
She could run like the wind and could catch anything she chased
But she protected and sat with me when I had problems to face.
You could not find a friend nearly so dear.
Because no matter the trouble she always stayed near...
She has never asked for much from me;
Just to love and respect her and I think you'll agree .
To give her a good meal plus a nice warm bed is not much to ask ;
When she has given me all her love and to her this was no task.
Now I understand you have a schedule to keep.
But I have a small favor before she nods off to sleep.
Please fold your wings around her and let her feel young while in no pain ;
Dear Guardian Angel of Pets ,
please keep her safe and happy until I see her again.

Dog Bless My Furiend Ernie George

Ernie George is an angel. I was right here to greet him at the bridge this morning. My furbro Spike, fursis Miracle and all the angel furs gathered round to greet this special little man from Mound, Minnesota. Why do the hoomans cry so much when one of us pups makes our journey to the bridge? I think it's cuz we are so special to them and we know that Ernie touched everyone's heart big time. I know we all wuv him and his whole fambly.

Dog bless you, Ernie George. My mom says: "Dog bless Ernie George who was one of the most loved furs on Earth. We'll be looking for the brightest star in the skies tonight; that will be Ernie smiling down from Heaven above. Hugs and prayers to his family."

Yes, Ernie is the newest and brightest star in Heaven tonight. We'll all gather around him and keep him safe til' his mama comes to reclaim him one day.

Welcome to The Bridge Snickers

OMD! God called another one of my fellow SBU furiends home this morning. He called on Snickers. We knowed his fambly is terribly upset over his sudden departure from the Earth, but hope they know he's up here with so many fur angels who were there to greet him this morning right along with me. I remember pawtying with him at the KKC...we sure shook up that place, but now we are running free in the meadows today. We all wuf Snickers.

Welcome to the Bridge Hanna

God needed a special little angel this morning so he called on Hanna Banana. We all knowed her mom is terribly upset and her heart is broken into tiny pieces over sweet Hanna leaving her so soon. Her mom is one of the bestest mom's cuz she treated Hanna like a little Queen and took the bestest care of her. My mom only hopes she will stop being so hard on herself cuz there are just some things beyond hooman's control. Me, Spike, Miracle and our other angels welcomed Hanna with open paws. We are gonna help Hanna sprinkle some angel dust on her mom tonight in hopes it helps with the pains in her heart.
