Rufus Has Moved!, But he took my love and tears with him Options

Hello Lightning Strikers

You have helped me so much with the passing of my beautiful black dog, Rufus. He is half black lab and half Newfie. Your words have made my grief and loneliness easier to bear and I hope some of my words have helped somebody else, too.

Rufus, I am going to try again to make you a big green "welcome" message. I hope it works but I'm pretty sure it won't!

Well I see I have failed again, but know that all the animals in this part of Lightning Strike welcome you.

Have a beautiful day, My Big Black Dog!

Your mom

Hello Baby Rufus

Didn't My Doxie write some beautiful poems for Bobbie and me and you and everybody? He has SO much in his heart and loves dogs SO much and people even more.

Rufie, baby, I don't know if you remember that Bobbie and me had another sister. She isn't very nice. She's just like a mean person who enjoys teasing and tormenting dogs just so they get angry and she can beat them. She does that to people, too. Now that she can't do it to Auntie Bobbie because she's in heaven, she's turning it all on me. Rufie, it makes me angry and sad. Angry at her for being nothing but a liar and an agitator (like a person who irritates two dogs and tries to make them fight). And I'm very sad for the dad, because she is slowly killing him and he must be so sad about Bobbie and he has just given up and made up his mind to die.

Rufie, I know there is nothing I can do about her because she is sick in the head and so I have to put her in the hands of the Good Shepherd. I have tried and tried and tried to frogive her in my heart but I just can't do it, so now I am going to put my own heart in the hands of the Good Shepherd and trust that He loves sme and that I have been good enough in my life that when it comes my turn, I can get into the Perfect World so I can be with you and your sister Gretta and every other person and animal I love - you and Baby G the best, of course. And Mr Trevor, because he had such a hard and painful life on earth. Either the Good Shepherd will fix my heart or He will accept it as it is and I am worrying about it for nothing.

So please keep reminding me that that's what I've done and when you do that, the Good Shepherd tells you not to take your concerns back with you, to let Him handle it.

Thank you My Big Black Dog. I love you forever more. Until I see you again in the Perfect World.

Your loving mommie
