[SIZE=3]A Letter From Your Pet In Heaven


[LEFT]To my dearest family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from the Bridge.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here there's no more tears of sadness.
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family,
They'll be here later on."
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you...
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years,
because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now,
than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it
by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world,
the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...
"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along
I made somebody smile.
God says: "If you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
with me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind."
"And when it's time for you to go...
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going...
you're coming here to me."

Thank you Thursday! Brought a tear...but a happy one. Found some comfort knowing my past babies, and most recently, my girl Mia, has found some peace. If I can't get to the Rainbow Bridge someday...I'm NOT going anywhere!


PS...tried to rep you...but gotta spread the love around first

Having a hard time this year, first Christmas without our 13 year old Dog Phoenix

Very Happy our 18 year old Cat is still with us and doing quite well***knock on wood.

Plans are we are getting another Doberman Puppy next summer, from a wonderful person.

Rebholzer Dobermans

To all my furry, feathered, finned Pals from the past, you are always on my mind, and in my heart.
And a piece of me always misses you.
I'm always happy we had our time together.
And thank you for all the joy and lessons in life you brought us.
All unique in your own ways.

HUGS

Thanks for the nice words. This time of year can be hard on those of us that miss our buddies. I know it is on me.

Right before Thanksgiving our guinea pig died of old age or possibly pneumonia. While putting up the family Christmas tree, my brother found an ornament, a voice recording ball. He had tested it but had never recorded over it. On it you can hear Guinea boy oinking and squealing. We have other ornaments memorializing our dogs and a bird but this year I hadn't found one of a guinea pig. But this ornament will be his and all the other guineas we've had over the years.
We have another ornament and I'll have to record our dog barking( or whining which she does most) or our late cockatiel which we have on videotape. And there is a guinea pig up for adoption at a local shelter and I'm going to go have a look at him after the Christmas holidays are over.
Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year.
