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)

Oh My Gosh! That is so funny about Willy walking around on your wood floor and his nails sounding like your old aunty from back when you were a kid. Errr ... Not to insult your dear, sweet old aunty because I'm certain she was a sainted woman but those old fashioned, high heeled yet 'sensible' clunking shoes of hers as you describe them remind me of "The Church Lady" from the Saturday Night Live TV series and her shoes. Dana Carvey always cracked me up in those skits. LOL!

I wonder what your sweet little 'ol aunty would have thought of this version?

Your fur kid Willy LOVES it!!

Last but certainly not least: Sing! Dance! Party! But be warned! Never "rain on someone's parade" or humiliate them while they are singing, dancing and partying or else what happened at the end of that video might just happen to you!

Thanks for all that Terrific advice, fur kid Willy!!!

Plus Willy also says, "Thank you and enjoy your evening, week, month, year, decade and life! Oh, also do enjoy greatly what's waiting for you just a breath away "on the other side!"
