The Bridge is vibrantly alive with rainbows of color today as the most beautiful and special arteest Pw. Blossom has arrived, with all the fanfare that should accompany one of such world renown talent.
My heart is breaking and my eyes overflow with oceans of tears for my dearest friend Cookie and Blossom's sisters Anniebelle and Jennie Mae.
Our beautiful 4-legged family members are just never with us long enough no matter how many years are counted.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN......

I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot
see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your
arms you think I am gone forever. You recall how I looked when I left this
place and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another
place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you
to that which is right in front of you ... me. 

How many times since I left your immediate sight have you been told
that I'm dead and you should "get over it?" How many times have you
cried yourself to sleep because you feel like an outcast, believing you're
supposed to get over me because that's what people say is normal but somehow
you can't and no one seems to understand? 

How many times have you put yourself through such excruciating pain
because you aren't willing to consider that I am not, by any means, dead? 

I want you to do me a favor and go back in time with me. Remember
the glorious day you brought me home - was I not the most intriguing creature
you'd ever met? Did I not make you laugh and giggle? Did I not look at you with
such adoration that you wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of your life
with me? I wanted this too. 

Remember the days when I was in my prime and we did many things
together. You were so proud of me! I was a good friend and I took care of you
when you cried, were angry or felt down and unhappy. When you didn't have a lot
of time for me because of your obligations, I waited patiently for you. I was
always there when you needed me. Did I not look at you with such acceptance and
patience that at times you felt perhaps a bit unworthy? You were never unworthy
in my eyes. 

Remember when age crept up on me, my bones became stiff and my
movements slower. Still I met you at the door when you came home and followed
you around the house. We'd been together for so long, I was your very best
friend regardless of what you were doing, saying, thinking. Did I not look at
you with such kindness and understanding that you felt overwhelmed? I couldn't
get enough of you. 

Remember the last time we saw each other with earthly eyes. You
tried to be brave but I knew you were crying ... I know you so well. Better
than anyone else in the whole world. Did I not look at you with such pure trust
and love that you yearned only to hold me close and keep me with you always?
Did you not promise that you would love me forever? I believed you. 

If this is so then why have you let me go by thinking I no longer exist?


Remember the depth in my eyes all those times I looked at you with
adoration, acceptance, patience, trust and love. Who created this depth and
love? Would the Creator diminish the song of our laughter which was created in
the name of love? I am no longer an earthly figure, this is true. My body was
only part of who I really am. My body would have been but a mere shell on earth
if it were not filled to overflowing with my soul, my spirit, my loving light.
When we met you thought I was cute, sweet, pretty and adorable. But what kind
of relationship would we have had if this is all that I'd been? How could you
have loved me if I'd had no spiritual substance? 

We are all made up of energy which resides far deep down inside of
us, it is our core, our soul, spirit and loving light. It is the energy that is
all of life ... it has no beginning, it has no end. It simply is and always
will be and without it there is no life. You can't see it with the naked eye
nor can you hold it in your hand, it is simply a certain knowing that this
energy does exist. It's a knowing just as you know that our love existed on
earth - you couldn't see our love in a solid sense, you couldn't gather it all
up and confine it to one place. But you *knew* it existed. There was no doubt in
your mind. 

They demand you get over me, insisting that I'm dead and you'll
never see me again because animals don't go to Heaven. Oh really? I'm here to
tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as
I was of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us
*forever* by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a
living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I
didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy
is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead? If my core is not of
the energy that is all of life then I was never alive to begin with. But you
know better. 

You cry because you miss me, this I understand. I miss you too - I
miss the belly rubs, hugs and kisses that we shared. But life does go on beyond
these wonderful, fulfilling physical connections. I came to this place to live
a whole new life, not because I didn't love you anymore or because I wanted
something better. I came here because it was time for me to go to the next
phase of my existance, something all living creatures must do eventually. It is
the normal progression of life. I was not taken away from you because you
cannot take away that which was never owned. My presence in your life was and
is a gift to be cherished and honored just as I cherish and honor you. 

Life is not simply about being born into a body, living a certain
number of years and then dying. Energy cannot die. We are blessed with time in
a body so that we can learn, share and grow. It prepares us for the next phase
of our eternal life. The body holds within it the true life force of our
existence...our soul, spirit and loving light. Without these our bodies would
be empty, blank, void of feeling and expression. Without our energy we would
indeed be dead and could never have experienced our love for each other. 

You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when
I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You
can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too
uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it
right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in
our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing
but memories which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by. I love you
too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to
remove love and light from your life. 

I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your
love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we
shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need
me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture
me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give
me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of
me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate. Don't
memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my
never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you. 

Until we meet again...
