as i sit here on christmas night,thankful for the two kids i have left, i especially remember the two that are gone. unfortunately,one was helped to cross the rainbow bridge last year at christmas,the next gave up and was helped seven months later on my birthday. please let me know that they did make it across the bridge, and that one day we will be together again. my baby girl babs was the first to go, then dweezil , (weezer). they owned my heart and soul. i am embarrased to say that they were bought from a pet shop. i have since learned about shelters, where my third sweetboy was adopted. my fourth and fifth came as foster children, from a man that was shipped to iraq and could not take his babies with him.. i found them a wonderful home and later adopted one more, rufus, whose mother was not taking care of him. .he is very healthy and happy now. please tell one of the greeters at the bridge to let me know my babies ,weezer and babs, are ok and tell them how much mommy loves them.tell them to have fun and mommy will see them soon. also ask them to be there in my dreams,and to remind of their presence when the warm, beautiful wind touches me and seems to speak to me, so that i will recognize it is them speaking to me. they both had a wonderful life and i know that i did the best for them in in letting them go. please just make sure they have the continued wonderful life thay deserve. thank you for taking care of babs and dwezil until i can be there again to do it for them.
