All of our angels are watching over you. LS just isnt the same without you.

Missing You
Anna and Angel Max

Dear Alex

Please send your mom back to us very soon, we sure could all do with some AngelCareOne again.

Hugs Jan and my Angels xx

Come on Dottie, we are barely hanging on here without you, miss you heaps. It will be a day of rejoicing when you come back to us xx

Luv madi xx

Dearest Anna, Jan, Madi, Margi, Sonya, Beth, Sissycat, Eva (aka katzen11 and Jimmy Klinger 'old catboy' and Felix von Hollabrunn 'mad babycatboy') ... To all of you ... This morning is the first time I've turned on my computer since my last post here at LS. I cannot possibly begin to express with mere words my utmost gratitude to each of you for showing such deep concern, how very much you care, your great support, compassion and for all your prayers. Honestly, I don't know the last time I felt this touched. Word. Please accept my deepest apologies for worrying you, for not at least getting some word here letting you know I'm alive and breathing. Mostly, I'm sorry that I am allowing my own problems to stand in the way of me being here for those who could really use some comfort, encouragement or at least a smile which I greatly wish to offer.

The simple fact is that this is a very scary, sad and pretty much gosh awful time for me and ... Well, I could say more about that, however you all know by now that I cannot bear to be pitied in any way, shape nor form. Suffice it to say that there's a whole bunch happening which concerns my health, finances, more lost loved ones and yada, yada, yada. Hey, we've all been there. It's just especially a hard hit due to the combination and all at once.

I hope and pray that most of my dilemmas will be resolved by the end of this March or April and promise to do my best to at least drop by and say hello occasionally until stuff gets better ... Dang. Would youze guyze believe that I began this post at about 3:30 this morning EST? It's true. As usual, I find it a whole lot easier to express myself using images, songs, poems and the like ... So, I selected these images and this song to show my huge appreciation for your outpour of concern, thoughtfulness and kindness as well as to describe my feelings at this time. I pray it will bring each of you comfort, faith, hope, encouragement as well as the courage and strength to persevere regarding your own personal pain, grief and struggles.

Please turn up your volume and click on the link below.





Many Blessings, Big Hugs and Winging a Multitude of Loving Angels Your Way!!!

I Wish You Peace!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Hello again everyone. Thank you so very much for your dear messages to me. You know who youze guyze are. It truly means the world. Bless you most abundantly!

I'm not quite ready to chat yet, but am trying. Unfortunately, I was just witness to an act of animal cruelty. Now, hang on a moment ... The good news is that the animal was not harmed and the effects are most likely temporary.

It appears obvious to me that whomever committed this act considers it as merely a harmless, hysterically hilarious prank. Well, I beg to differ. The incident was caught on film which includes a statement made by the animal who was victimized.

So, does this act constitute animal cruelty or was it just a funny prank? You be the judge.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Big Hugs and Lotsa Love to You and All Your Angel Fur Kids!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Yee-Hah, DOTTIE'S BACK!!!!!!

I was SO excited when I saw that you had posted, AngelCareOne! Obviously, you have been sorely missed around here. At least we did find out that you were alive, so didn't worry as much as we did in the beginning of your "disappearance..."

I know all too well what it's like to get blindsided all at once by an overwhelming amount of grief and difficulty. I lost everything and everyone some years ago...I won't bother with details, but I didn't know how I could survive, and I have, which you shall. My heart is with you.

I haven't much time to post today, so I'll thank you for that beautiful song from Mylie Cyrus--it's really inspirational, and say hello and bye bye for now, and let everyone else too go into their paroxysms of joy over having you back--finally!!

Big big hugs--

Margi and Ladywolf

Well lovely lady, you might have taken a bit of a battering lately, but your glorious sense on humour is still shining through. God bless you Dottie. Besides, I was getting sick of being the only warped person on here.

madi xx

Hello again, Dear Friends. Thank you oodles and boodles Margi and Madi. Thanks so very much also to everyone else who has emailed me, sent messages and cards. I'm still catching up on my emails and messages here. Hi there Jan, Anna and Sonya. Great big {{{{{Hugs}}}}} to all of you, your Angel Fur Kids and God Bless!

I'm checking in to let you know I'm still alive, breathing and trying my level best to recover so that I may find my voice again real soon because I want so badly to respond to many of you who have posted and are in such gawd awful pain, sorrow, loneliness and feeling terribly devastated. Truly, I know how you're feeling and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you as well as my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your most cherished, beloved Fur Babies. Winging many loving Angels your way to soothe and gently guide you through what must be just about the most difficult time in your lives. Tons Cyber of Hugs!

Once again and as always, I do express myself far better when using images, songs, poems and the like. So, this is how I'm trying to feel as I Wish the very same kind of Peace to everyone here ...







This is how I'm actually feeling on the inside as I'll bet my bottom dollar a whole bunch of you are also feeling so you're able to relate ...







Please, please, please hang in there youze guyze ...






Please keep coming back to talk as often as you're able at any time day or night. Believe me, it helps so much to express your feelings and talk about your Rainbow Bridge Babies with like minded people which you most certainly will find here at LS. Remember to take baby steps and be kind to you. You're all wonderful Fur Kid Parents! Please, never forget that. And, as I keep reminding everyone: It's by caring and sharing that we help each other get through our pain and find that Healing Path. So, once again, please keep coming back to vent as much as you're able and whenever you're up to it.

This next part is for my precious baby boy Alex because I know how much he loves his pictures, especially when they glow, glitter and are animated ...

Hi, Sweet Alex! Keep having fun at The Rainbow Bridge. I brought a dancing partner for you because I know how much you love to dance and were such great pals with Cocoa kitty before he passed away several years before you. Oh, I'm sure Cocoa is there with you now though, so get down with your bad selves my boogie-oogie-oogie babies!







I Love You and Miss You So Much!!!

Many Comforting Hugs to Everybody and Your Angel Fur Kids!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Great kitty pics Dottie, love them. It's so good to see you 'posting' again.
We've got our Dear AngelCareOne back and with the humour we all need to make us smile again.
Anna would be so pleased to see you back, but she seems to have vanished , just hope all is ok with her.

Love and hugs

Jan and my Angels x

Oh Dottie, where do you find them? Those kitty pictures are so funny. They keep my grand kids amused also and I am ever so grateful for any contribution, in that area. Hugs xx


madi xx

Thanks for coming back, Dottie, with your luscious good humor--we've really needed you. We'll understand if you can't post a lot more right now--just keep us posted, please. I may be off the grid myself for a few days now while my computer is in Intensive Care (it has a not-quite-fatal virus--I'm writing from a different PC right now.)

Big hugs and many blessings--

Margi and her Wolf

Hi Jan, Madi and Margi. I got here as soon as my paws would carry me ...





Please pardon me as I am quite upset because this blasted seagull keeps stealing my Tangy Cheese Flavored Doritos whenever I reach for the best package on the shelf at the corner store. It's becoming very annoying. I wouldn't mind Sammy Seagull stealing another bag, but he always snatches the best one just as I reach for it ...



Then, when he's confronted about his life of crime, Sammy clams up and takes off ...

Please Click Here: "Thieving Seagull!"

Madi, you ask where I find all this stuff? Well, I'm pretty much a google wizard and don't give up until I find what I'm looking for. Also, I've seen lots and lots of these images over the years and have practically total recall so know what I want to find. As for the whacked out manic cat, I got that in email almost two years ago and went in search to find that image. There's a bunch more to it and I know that you and your grand kids will be very amused. Jan and Margi, you'll love it, too. Oh, I do wish Anna were here. I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's a riot! Enjoy!

However, I never saw the following before today when my friend Debbie sent it to me in email. Madi, you and your grand kids will love it and I know Jan and Margi will get a big kick out of it, too. I've watched it at least 50 times so far and can't get enough. Cute as a little shoe button and funny as all get out, too. Here is your 17 seconds "Moment of Awww!"

Please Click Here: "Surprised Kitten!"

Big Hugs to You and all Your Angel Fur and Feather Kids!



God Bless You Most Abundantly Each and Everyone!



Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

I just can't stop watching that seagull clip. The way it walks in, casts a quick eye down the isle, makes a bee line for the shelf then pinches the packet just amazes me.. Really knows it's struff that one, a real pro!!

madi xxke

Hi, Madi! Yes, it is hilarious. Since you're so fascinated, amazed and can't get enough of the clip, here is a close up taken by the store's surveillance camera so you can see it even better. It's only 26 seconds, but far more clear. I can't get enough of it either. LOL. I hope your grand kids love it, too. Jan, Margi and Anna, this is for you and everyone here at LS, too. Please click below. Enjoy!

Sammy Seagull Thief Up Close and Personal!

On another note, I have a great love of elephants and wish to share with all of you an unbelievably astonishing clip of a real live elephant using its trunk to paint a self portrait. That's right, a self portrait! This pachyderm was not trained, but paints what its inner eye sees, perceives, feels so expresses itself ... More proof that these gentle giants are cognizant, sentient beings who appreciate beauty and are capable of genuine love of self and others.

The clip is 8 minutes and 29 seconds long, but so worth it! Here's a preview.



This goes out to my precious baby boy Alex too because I know he would have loved it and appreciated such inspiration. And, that elephant's painting is so very beautiful. I Love You and Miss You So Much, Sweet Alex! Enjoy your pretty pictures. Okay? Okay!

Please turn up your volume and click on the link below.

Precious Pachyderm Paints Self Portrait!

Several elephants throughout the world paint everything from beautiful flowers, gardens and scenery to abstract art even utilizing pointillism. I have several clips of different elephants as they paint very lovely pictures and one even paints "Happy New Year" and I kid you not. For those who are unable to view videos, please click on the links below to view several amazing paintings done by elephants. Most of the photos depict the elephant in the process of painting and a few show the finished painting only. The first two photograph links are a different elephant self portrait and not the one I posted above.

Lookie at these, my darling Alex. Ain't they awesome? Enjoy!

Sonya

Thank you so much, Sweet Sonya.

Big Hugs to you and your Angel fur kid Brutus, too!

Dottie xoxoxox

Hi Dottie, sending hugs to you and Alex, you are both always in my thoughts xx

madi xx

Wow Dottie - I just read through your entire thread -- I am so ticked off at what happened to Alex -- it's bad enough that our beloved pets get sick and die, but for someone to deliberately take them from us is beyond words! These people aren't fit for civilization! My heart goes out to you. I hope I'm not bringing up bad stuff here that you've put behind you -- but I just wanted you to know that you're in my thoughts.
Sharon
