Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge

Well I felt better after I posted about Beauty, so here are all of them to date. Maybe that will help some also.
Snuggles: I assume that now you are back in trim, you’re again looking like you are never fed. Surely on that side of the bridge folks recognize that even with the fur length and fat content from your Doberman sire, and the muscles, bone structure, and coloration of your dam, you are happily eating all you want. I can’t tell you what you meant to a lonely boy growing up.
Frisky: We miss your boundless energy. Thank you for keeping mom and the kids’ safe all those years we lived in the city. I’m glad you got to play in the country once and awhile. Hopefully there are trains you can chase on your side of the bridge as well. If so, have any of the engineers tooted their horn again to say hello? I sure hope at least one recognizes you.
Silhouette: Well girl, how is it up there? Hopefully you don’t need to back into the dining room so nobody can see you. Mom doesn’t put papers on your side of the couch anymore. She says you still notice. You sure were a wonderful friend, especially for mom.
Shadow: I hope they let you dig a swimming pool up there, I know you were disappointed when we wouldn’t let you. I can’t wait to talk to you and find out what you planned to do with the 50# bags of dog food you were taking unopened out into your run. I’m so sorry you didn’t survive the anesthetic. I’m sure you noticed that the vet was as heartbroken as we were. I’m sorry we only had a few years to play with you, but don’t give up hope, we’ll both be there some day, probably sooner than you think.
Loki: What a wonderful friend you were. I’m sure you still are talked about at the CSU Vet School. There are so very few who ever beat myelopathy as you did. We gave your wheelchair to someone whose dog had broken hips. I’ll bet it’s fun to run normally again. I picked up pinecones on the trails for years after you left. In fact I sometimes still do just in case your walking them with me, I wouldn’t want you to trip.
Blizzard: Well I’ll bet you are the Alpha up there. Remember when you were only a few months old and told the neighbors dog to either play or fight? That dog has not come in our yard since, although now I suppose it’s been enough years he is up there as well. If he needs his attitude adjusted again, go for it. We sure miss you baby, you were sure a fun type guy, never a dull moment, and never found ANYTHING not worth trying at least once. We can’t wait to see what you’ve found to do on the other side. I’ll bet you are still amazing folks.
Beauty: You were my faithful friend longer than any of our other furchildren. Always there, the best camper of them all, a determined lap dog, and always a love. I’m so sorry I couldn’t carry you any longer. At least now you can run again. I can hear you howling with the grandkids in my dreams. For me the house is so empty without you. Take care.
To all our furchildren: Mom says you are all here now with Beauty, welcoming her and keeping her company while she gets used to being on the other side. If so, know that we love you all. Some day we will all be together again. We’ll see you when we too cross the bridge.
