Yes dis is another long delayed posty. But we has been sooo busy here. Lotsa fuzzies crossing de bridge lately. And so... SaraFerret was playing badminton with one of de kits when all of a sudden a note dropped on her nose from above. (Well dat ended de game). She read de note and quick like a fuzzy ran off to search for Gizmo and Pendleton. She knocked on one door, dey were visiting at another cottage, knocked at another door and finally found dem. (Getting worn out just rounding dem up)! Hey guys, your sis is getting ready to cross de bridge. So off we went to de bridge entrance. Just in time! A partially-furred chocolate was crossing de bridge with a heavy backpack (unlike humans, fuzzies can take anything they can stuff into their backpack for their bridge journey). Gizmo and Pendle hid behind one of de posts so dey could surprise her. When she got dere, she introduced herself, Hi, I am Bobbie, but my Mommy calls me Bob--she says it suits me better. I has been very sick, so Mommy took me to de doctor and when I wakes up I was here. Who are you anyway. I am SaraFerret and I am de bridgegreeter. Welcome to de Rainbow Bridge. Dis is your new forever home. Here you will have no pain or suffering, no litter pans, lots of green grass to run in, did I mention fun and games. Well Bob just looks at me, and says, the no more pain and suffering sounds good to me. So den I asks her whats was in her heavy backpack. She looks at me suspicious-like and says, Don't you have toys? I guess if you don't have toys, I will share wit you. She carefully unzipped her backpack and took out one large cloth ball and shook it with her teeth and it jingled and den she took out a mysterious cloth bag and said dis is for my best bud, Pendle who came here awhile back. Den all of a sudden, Pendle jumped out and yelled "Surprise"! followed by Gizmo. Oh what joy and leaps and bounds! Bob did not feel so alone now--she was with friends. When all had settled down, she showed Pendle what she had brought for him, a stash of "cantelope seeds." (His favorite treat on earh). Pendle was thrilled to get something from home. Of course Bob noticed dat everyone around her had wings and she wanted dose also. What color? Decisions, decisions, decisions. So off we went down de garden path toward Kit and Kaboodle where de wings were kept. We opened de door and on de counter was a big box (of course). She opened de box and took out de wings-- Cinnamon (new colors) Wowsie! A little bit chocolate-a little bit red--really pretty. We helped her on with her wings and she ran to de mirror and she looked at her reflection and all of a sudden, no longer was she partially furred. She was a fluffy chocolate once again as she was before she became so sick. Oh I wish Mommy could see me now. Den I had an idea. We went down de garden path toward de misting pond and sat down by de cool clear water. I swish de water and all of a sudden Bob and Gizmo and Pendle could see Mommy Sarah. Hey Mommy, Bob cried out, See how pretty I look, wings and fluffy. Mommy looked up as though she could hear or see something. Hmmm, wonder if she could. Bob made a promise dat one day she would visit Mommy in a dream perhaps and she would know by her musky smell or her scratchy whiskers on her cheeks dat she had been dere. And with another swish de vision was gone. Dey all knew dat one day Mommy and all de fuzzies would be reunited and run and play together at de bridge. And so ended another day at de bridge. Loveys and hugs, SaraFerret, bridgegreeter [Posted in FML 5737]
