A big Sable boy, who came to us 3 years ago from the Iosco Animal Shelter, has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. He went quietly during the night in his sleep. Sandee, keep looking for this handsome fellow, but watch out, he is liable to steal your fuzzy heart away, just as he took mine with him last night. Please introduce him to Scruffy and Cloud Dancer and the rest of the crew. Tell them that I am sorry that I was not able to stay with them during my last surgery, and that I am getting much better and that the doctors have taken me off of all medications (blood pressure, glucophage for sugar, heart medications, and GERD medications) except for an aspirin and zocor because I have lost 30 pounds since December (20 pounds since surgery in February). I give thanks to you fuzzies for talking to God for me and to all of my fuzzy loving 2-leggeds who prayed for me to stay in this life. But one day, my loving little fuzz-butts, I will come home and then we will all play together in the presence of the Great Creator for all eternity and never be seperated again. I love you Rocky, don't be afraid of Lucky or Cloud Dancer, they are just fun loving boys like you. Enjoy all that the Bridge has to offer and don't forget to take a bath after digging in dirt mountain. I know you were digging, because it rained last night, and you must have dug a hole in the floor of heaven. Peace to all my two-legged brothers and sisters, know that God loves His Creation and all things that He Created, including you. May the Peace of God that surpasses all human understanding, be with each and every one of you, and may we all join together, one day at the Rainbow Bridge, give Sandee a hug and a fuzzy kiss, and we can all play forever.
