Shooting Star Options

[Bubba]

I just joined this forum this morning-sure glad all of you are here.On sept.3rd I lost my beloved bulldog,Willy.He was twelve days shy of his 11th birthday.My wife and I have no human children but are totally immersed in our Bullys.They ARE our life.Willy was our first and I have to say my 'heart'dog.All that I have read about all of our losses on this forum apply to me and my wife.The emptiness and grief-longing cannot really be put to words.Here's the part that that TRULEY gives me hope for a reunion with our babies which is our ultimate goal.
At 12;15 am the night of Willy's death,I went to my back patio to sit and cry.I looked up to the heavens and said:'Boy I miss you so much I can't stand it,if you can, PLEASE give me a sign that your ok!' Well,as soon as I said 'ok?' a shooting star whooshed by.I have NEVER seen a shooting star in my life.I have to believe it was my boy.As parents of furbabies I really think we have to embrace the story of the Rainbow Bridge.I know of no other way to keep the remnants of my sanity.Not to be morbid but I think real:Every day we are one day closer to being with our babies for ETERNITY!
Peace and Love------Bubba(one of Willy's nicknames)

Dottie----the brindle coloring,the dot on top of his head,brindle patch on his face(his was on the right side) and the shape of his eyes-----right on the money-----something is goin on here---and I like it----My hope for the big reunion and meeting all you guys someday is growing stronger----I think we are lucky to be able to broach the subject of death and a conciousness afterward without the fear most people have.Just about everyone I know avoids the topic with a 100 ft pole.I, like alot of us have had to put down my share of babies and have buried alot of my human family in the past decade.I kind of makes you tough while strengthining your faith in something bigger all the while each loss is totally full of grief and loneliness.Peace--------Bubba
