Oh my dear Baby Rufus - Your mom is SO sorry to have been silent for so long. Did you think I had forgotten you> NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!

You are my always and forever BIG BLACK DOG!

Rufus, a very dear friend of mine has left this earth and gone to live in the Perfect World. You found me so I know you can find him. His name is Wendell and he sings and plays guitar and piano and makes the happiest sound I have ever heard. He's probably hanging out with a very tall man with an unusual name: Popsy. Popsy Dixon. On earth these two great guys and Wendell's older brother Sherman played music together in a group called the Holmes Brothers. Second after my doggies, this group gave me the most joy i had in my life. I always smiled, clapped, sang and danced along with this group. Now two of them are gone from me but they are up there with you. With your doggie ears you can probably hear them playing and singing. Could you do me a favor one of these days? Take my dad and Bobbie, if she wants to go, and bring him over to Wendell and Popsie and introduce them and tell them you are all my relatives. Then ask them to play a song or two and watch the smile appear on the dad's face and his hands start to clap. And then listen to the laugh that Wendell puts into his song and watch for Popsie's big beautiful smile. Tell them I miss them SO much and every month I try to have a little money extra so I can buy two of their CDs (there's 12 in all). I had 6 but I gave them to Marv for his birthday. I can't listen to them right now because it makes me cry to think that I will never hear them again on earth. But is makes by belief in the Good Shepherd and the Perfect World stronger every day and know that one day I will join you there, too, and we can go to see them together. And please ask the Good Shepherd to send down some drops of comfort and mercy to Sherman and to Wendell and Popsie's wives.

I love you my big black dog! I really, truly do.

Your mom

Hello My Big Black Dog!

I've been trying to find a picture of you to upload for My Doxie and Me but I think all your pictures are on my old computer. I'll keep trying, though. He calls you Sir Rufus the Great. Isn't that a compliment.

I miss you so much, Baby Rufus. I am in this strange town and spend most of my days in the third floor flat in near-downtown Baltimore. If only I had you to keep on nudging my elbow as I typed on this computer - and not giving up until I got up and took you for a walk.

I know that you-and-me would be so much happier that just me alone.

Every week I go at least one day to take care of Trevor's brothers, Dreamer and Kelly. Even though Kelly, who is getting old and can't help it, wakes me up three times every night and I am very tired the next day, I love them so much. (Not as much as I love you, of course.) They are so alive and so happy to see me when I've been away for a few days. Truly I don't know how I would have made it through all the losses and sorrow of the past year and a half without them. We go on walks whenever we can - not as long as the walks WE used to go on. We go up a hill and then across a playground and pass back and forth in front of a school and then back home. That's a lot for a small dog like a cocker spaniel. When we get home, they are so tired that they sleep all the rest of the morning and sometimes part of the afternoon.

How is the dad? He loved you so much. He was always amazed at you sphynx pose - head so straight up, not moving a muscle. Please give him a big kiss for me, OK? And one for Trevor's mom, too. And maybe you can ask her to take you and dad to see the newly arrived pair of the Holmes Brothers.

And if you see the Good Shepherd, maybe you could put in a good word for me, OK?

I'll never stop loving you. And someday we will be together again -- forever!

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Your mom

Hi my beautiful big black dog!

I have to tell you again how much I miss you. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!

I miss everything about you, Rufus my darling dog.

I miss your soft fur (i even thought you might me a curly-coated retriever instead of a labrador retriever). Our wonderful friend and doctor, Doctor Hinson, told me you were part Newfoundland = a much bigger dog than a Lab and that was why your fur was so soft. He showed me your webbed feet, too.

I miss that great big lipoma on your right shoulder. (And I really worried about it too)

I miss the T-shirts that you wore while your incision was healing.

I miss when Dr. Hinson took out your drain and you snapped at me cuz I was handy and Dr Hinson (mock) scolded you for trying to bite the hand that fed you.

I miss your one big deep bark when the people across the hall got rowdy (and boy did they ~~ up fast!)

I miss how you would nudge my elbow when I was working on the computer - and not give up until I took you for a walk.

I miss the way you would chase a frisbee exactly twice and then you were DONE!

And I really miss the way you would curl up at night on your dog bed and I would say "Night-night doggie" and turn off the lamp.

Most of all I miss your just being with me. (I was going to say I miss your love but I know you still love me from where you are - in the Perfect World.)

Rufus, you are one-of-a-kind. There will never be another you and I thank God for creating you and for guiding you to me so we could fall in love.

I LOVE YOU, RUFIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Your mom.

Rufus

You know how any tears are in my heart.

Just know that your mom loves with with every one of them and with every smile that comes sometimes.

Thank you for being my faithful Big Black Dog and someday soon Mommie is coming to you and we will be together forever.

If I said "I love you" a million times there would still be a zillion more times to say it.

I love you, Babyface.

Good morning Rufus, my Big Black Dog!

Just like you in your life before you got rescued, your mom is trying to put one foot in front of the other and keep the spark of hope alive in the heart and within sight of my eyes.

I'm working to get out of the money pit I was in and I can see the end of that coming. Then I can put some more money in the "doggy" fund to cover the quadruple rent I will have to pay when I move to a dog=friendly place. And finally I will be ready to adopt another dog to have and to hold.

I miss you SOOOOOO much, BAby Rufus. I look at the beautiful picture book that your first mom made for me and I remember all the good times we had together. Please watch over The Dad up there. He loved you so much down here - especially your sphynx pose.

Thank the Good Shepherd for bringing us together, even though it was only for a short time. Every day with you was precious - just like every day with you will be when we are finally together again. Even better because our time then will never end.

I love you, Rufie-doo. Always have, always will. More and more every day.

XOXO

Your mom

Dear Gretta and Rufus's Mom,

Thank you so much for posting on Hermy's thread. I'm so sorry I haven't posted in awhile.

You are in my thoughts and prayers, Gretta's Mom. As the holiday season approaches, I know how difficult it can be when we are thinking of our loved ones, especially our lost loved ones. I hope this holiday season treats you well. Sad memories, good memories, wishing, longing, quiet moments, lonely moments, time for reflection.

I hope your days and nights are filled with good memories of Gretta, Rufus, Trevor, Bobbie, and your father. I wish you peace and good health. I know my bunnies Hermy and Albus must be having fun playing with Trevor, Gretta, and Rufus. I'm certain Hermy is very grateful to you for your letters. She would probably write you back if she could type with her furry paws. smile.gif

Wishing you a restful night and a wonderful Thanksgiving next week!

Hugs,
Hermy and Albus's Mommy

Good morning my precious Big Black Dog!

Today I am up early because I get to go over to your cousins' place and take care of them, give them a walk and just hang out with them. Like you, just being with them fills my heart with love, security, and deep comfort. Please thank the Good Shepherd for working on Trevor's dad's heart so he now isn't so angry at me and let's me come over and be with your cousins on those days he's working.

Please say a woof-hi to Trevor's mom and his grandpa and to all the people and animals I love who are with you in the Perfect World, especially your sister Gretta.

I love you, Baby Rufus.

Your mom
