We lost our Happy Boy 6 months ago from Blasto and it still hurts like it happen yesterday. Not a day goes by that we don't remember him and all the silly things he did to make us laugh! It has been very hard to come back and read all the posts, but I have been checking back often just to keep current on this terrible illness. I just couldn't post anything - the pain was just to sharp. But things have improved and we did adopt a new member to our family - Our poor Sadie was so sad that her friend had gone that she started to loose interest in living. His name is Thunder and we got him from the Vizsla rescue. He came to live with us on Thanksgiving day and he truely was a blessing. Sadie took one look at him and they were instance buds - it's like they knew they needed each other. She showered him with kisses and he appeared to be very happy to get them. Then it was off running and playing- such joy on each of their faces. Sadie was smiling again !!!! Thunder has been such a joy and boy can he run - poor Sadie has a real hard time keeping up with him, but it is sure fun to watch her try. After we lost Happy a Friend sent me this e-mail that I would like to share with all of you - it put a smile on my face ever through all my tears -
From: THE DOG
Dear God: Is it on purpose our names are the same, only reversed?
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?
Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?
Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a Dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the 'Chrysler Beagle'?
Dear God: If a Dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad Dog?
Dear God: We Dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good Dog.
1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.
2. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.
3. The Litter Box is not a cookie jar.
4. The sofa is not a 'face towel.'
5. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff
6. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.
7. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying 'hello.'
8. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table
9. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house -- not after.
10. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt across the carpet.
11. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch.
12. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.
P.S. Dear God: When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles back?
When we needed help - this was the place to go and there are soooo many wonderful, caring, dog people here to help- I just want to say thank you for all the wonderful support during that terrible time. God Bless all of you and may God keep all of your pets in his heart!
