The old lady dog (Tina)

Posted : 6/29/2010 9:37:46 AM

I'm sorry you were left abandoned in your greatest hour of need and that you didn't stay long enough to have a name. It was obvious you had a lot of heart even when your body was saying "no more". I only had a couple of hours with you, but still, you touched my heart. If I could have done more for you I would have.

I hope my sweet Agnes met you at the Bridge. She was an old lady beagle mix who ended up in the same place as you, but she was luckier in that I could take her home and share almost 9 months with her. Agnes knew a great deal of love, not just from me, but from her forum aunties who rooted her on every step of the way. Many of those same aunties were praying for you last week, even if you didn't know it.

I hope you will wait with Agnes for me because the three of us, a beagly mix, a hound mix, and a crazy woman - we'll have lots of fun together.

Run free old lady dog. You are whole again.

OMG, Tina . . . you know where I work, don't you, and how imperative it is that I not cry around these dudes???? Thanks a lot.

It was beautiful though.

I saw your post yesterday, Tina. Broken Heart I'm sorry for the old lady dog but glad she had some time with you. She's surely playing with Agnes and all the other dogs who wait for us at the Bridge. (((Tina and her big ol' heart)))

I saw your post yesterday, Tina.

Yeah, I thought she deserved a thread here in the Rainbow Bridge.

Deb, chalk those tears up to allergies and make yourself a Bloody Mary with bacon-flavored vodka ( I just read about this online).

Maybe my faith is unusual but as far as I'm concerned if the Alpha of all Alphas can figure out the rest of the world's mess then little things like making sure an old lonely dog has company beyond the Bridge? As far as I'm concerned that's what Angels do for fun! (and yeah, I'm serious)

Tina -- she was SOOOOOOO met. I think there's an awareness of who knows whom and whose owners knew whom .... like I said, I think this is minutia in respect to the rest of the stuff and I don't think it goes unheeded. We ARE talking Rainbow Bridge here and I guess if I'm going to imagine something like this, I"m gonna go ahead and imagine it RIGHT!! *smile*

I think the old gal knew *exactly* which ones of us shed tears over her and I think each and every tear was a balm to her old spirit and must appreciated. See, right next to Agnes was Kee Shu .... and Ms. Socks (who was OLD when she came to live with us and just got a new lease on life almost "by accident" -- except I don't believe in accidents either).

That grass is so cool and sweet ... and the River of Life ... man, I can't almost even imagine how good a drink from there must feel ...

This paints such a nice picture of what we all believe our sweet furr babies enjoy over the bridge.

Run free sweet ole lady, know that you were on the minds and hearts of many.

Old Girl, you're in great company at the Bridge. Chase those butterflies and take as many naps as there are hours in a day. There are so many there to greet you! Say hi to Holly, Muffin, Moose, Nixxi and Celeigh for me.

ETA: And old Spot, too!
