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

[Gretta's Mom]

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

Hey Rufie Dog,

Thanks for the assist yesterday. There was absolutely NOTHING scary about the visit to town except getting lost because of road construction. I wasn't dangerous but it sure was HOT. A very nice Chinese girl who had just finished college waled the 6 blocks from the office to the apartment with me. IT WAS HOT! I didn't like the apartments, even a larger one, because they were RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from a nursing home that Trevor's mom had been in many years ago and where she had suffered so much. How could I look at the building all day every day?

So today I'm going to look at another place, which I think is a little far away from where I really want to be. Trevor's dad is going with me. Have a wonderful day in the Perfect World - but then every day there is, well, perfect, and if you see Trevor's mom, tell her that the apartment I'm looking at today is near the Book Exchange.

I love and miss you every day and when I get there, I am going to stroke your head, pet your velvet ears and tell you for all eternity want a good dog you ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE.

Your mom who loves you
