Hi Caryn,

Thank you for the welcome.  I am sure this community is very supportive of each other.

Congrats on "Pip Squeak".

We are all so blessed to have our furry little friends. They are all soo beautiful and loving, unconditionally. Thank you for adding us as a friend. To all with gifts, also, thank you. I have been very occupied with caring for my mother who will be 86 on Monday. Having, hopefully a nice luncheon with some of her friends. She just has PNEMONIA, in both lungs, and went into atrial fib, so I pray for Puff and her health every day. I don't want to loose both of them. But the Lord will make up his mind and decide. Hope I will be strong enough.

THING AND LET GO OF ANGEL,TO BE MADE WHOLE AGAIN AND RUN AND PLAY AS SHE DID A FEW YEARS AGO.ANGEL WAS AS FAST AS LIGHTING,AND SOME TIMES SHE DID THINGS HER WAY,THATS OK,WE HAD A LOT OF FUN IN THE BACK YARD.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS AND COMMENTS FOR MY LITTLE GIRL AND ME.

MAY YOU ALWAYS FIND PEACE IN YOUR LIFE,AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. BILL

Thanks for your support, Caryn, it really is greatly appreciated. I do not think that most people understand just how important these perfect little beings were to us. Yes, I choose
to believe that the Lord would not destroy such a beautiful creation of His. I choose to believe that they will be there waiting for us, along with all our dearly departed relatives, friends, and ancestors. Otherwise, Heaven would not be the perfect place that it is cracked up to be. The other day, I had a particularly hard day after reading somewhere, on the internet (of all places) that animals do not continue on; but, when they die it is the last of them. This person claimed this teaching came from the Bible. All I have to say is that there are many conflicting passages in the Bible, which was not only written down by man, but which books were to be included or not were chosen by men. I would present that God promised Noah and the Animals of the Ark, in the new Covenant that he would never again destroy the earth by water, forever. If animals did not go on after death there would have been no need to include them in this promise/covenant.
I do not wish to argue the points of religion; I just know that the God that I believe in is a Benevolent and Merciful God; and, He will give us our loved ones back.......I know it in my SOUL/SPIRIT. Rudy and I talked about it many times before the day came and I know that he understands to look for me.......

Wanted to update you about the shelter. The abused cat is getting a home. I didn't have enough proof since i was in the other room when the incident happended, but I am supposed to keep an eye and report anything and everything in writing to ASPCA and police dept. So they are being watched. By the way, i love watching or slide show. Your kids are so cute. It makes me think i better put my Pixie on a diet.

I am so sorry.... I am amazed how all of our pets, present and past, just stick in our hearts and retain the ability to make us laugh and cry. Very amazing....

The photos of your dogs and your children are so adorable.... I do love dogs ~ and KIDS!!! The doggie in the pool chair cracked me up.... great for a good laugh for the day :-)
