Dooks and salutations to all on the FML. I have been away for a couple of weeks, had emergency gall bladder removal at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw, Michigan (a 2 hour drive from my home in Oscoda, or 108 miles one way). I went in on Thursday, September 28, kept overnight for more tests on Friday, and on Saturday, September 30, 2006, at 0900 (9:00am) I was wheeled into the Operating Room. I was released at 1745 (5:45pm) and came home. While I underwent surgery to remove the gall bladder, my little girl, TRIXIE went to the Rainbow Bridge. She was a very special girl, all white, with just a hint of white. She was the daughter of Cloud Dancer, my Big Boy who went to the Rainbow Bridge about 5 years ago (I think). It is difficult to remember when all of the different ferts left this physical plane for the spiritual plane of eternal life, but I know that I shall see all of them again. To all of you who have had your beloved Fuzzies leave and travel to the Rainbow Bridge, please take my words of comfort and know that one day you will be reunited with your beloved ferts for all eternity. If anyone would like to talk to me as to why I believe that animals will be in heaven, please contact me at [log in to unmask], or I use Yahoo Instant Messenger (chiefgreyeagle2003) May the Peace of God which surpasses all human understanding, be with each and every one of you, my brothers and sisters.
