This page is dedicated to our very special angels.. the four legged ones, that have earned thier wings.. our pups who have taught us how to LIVE in the moment, enjoy EVERY DAY.. to live BIG, to live BOLD, to be ready to pounce on someone when they least expect it..giving a good body slam!!!  Enjoy treats... and that we can work them off with a good long walk, to crash water.. yeah, even in the cold .. that is the best!  To give chase and retrieve.. to continue playing the game... to snuggle up with each other.. taking over the pillows and the blankets if at all possible, to give comfort and say nothing.. to just be.. in the moment.

I have loved you all my pup angels, so very much, and you have taught me and others the meaning of love.. no matter how much time we got to share... the day will come when I will see you again, and I will be very happy to be body slammed to the ground with all the kisses you can give me!  Maybe you will remember the treats in my left pockets..
I bet you will.. so I will come loaded up, and maybe even have the clicker too!
I love you.

RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When our
beloved pets die, they journey to this idyllic spot. There are
meadows and hills enough for all to frolic freely, and plenty of food,
water and sunshine. Each and every animal is warm and comfortable.

Those pets who have been ill or aged are restored to health and vigor.
Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong. Each is just
as we remember in our dreams of days and times gone by. Our pets are
happy and content at Rainbow Bridge, except for one small thing.
Every creature misses someone special whom they've left behind.

The animals all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly
stops, and looks into the distance. His or her bright eyes are intent; an eager
body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he or she begins to run from the group,
flying over the green grass, legs going faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and you and your special friend come together
in joyous reunion. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again
caress the beloved head; and you look once more into the trusting eyes
of your pet so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together.

2/5/10-2/18/10
 My precious black beauty.

I thought you would stay forever, that was my plan, for you to stay with me... but God had other plans for you, and he must have needed you to teach me a few things about life for the brief time you were here...
it does not mean my grief or missing you was any less because of your short time,
because I wanted to you to stay.. to forever be mine.

I named you Ditto as I knew our time may be short.. Ditto, because like me as newborn, I developed Pnuemonia too..
I had to fight to live,  beat all the odds as I was not expected to make it, and I saw that same fighting spirit in you...
the never give up, never give in...

I took you to Dr. Sally, we ran the tests,we did the xrays.. and I know in my heart that I did all I could to save you.. it was heartbreaking, but little did I know that night when you went to God, that it was the start of major changes in my life.... 
I think God put you with me for a short time for me to always remember....how precious life, no matter how long we have with those we love, is never enough time... my little Ditto you were my gift,
I kept you warm in your blankets, wrapped you snug, I sang to you, told you about your beautiful mamma Sophie, and very handsome Sire, Dauber  and I told you that no matter what...you were already a Champion because of your spirit ... 
you looked so peaceful, and then you were gone....

I tried to bring you back to me, all my efforts did not work, but sometimes we learn in this life...that we have to let go of those we love, no matter how much it breaks our hearts, no matter what efforts we put forth...God has his plan for us all... and letting go is never easy. 

My hope is when I get there to heaven when my work here is done, you will be there with all the others
I have had to say goodbye too..
My forever precious black beauty... and I will hold you and still smell your puppy breath...kissing you, my baby Champion.
