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 Rufus Baby - my Big Black Dog.

Things are getting very difficult right now here on earth. Trevor's dad has threatened to kill himself by not eating. I don't think he is serious, but I alerted some of his friends (one of whom has decided he will not communicate with me in any way.. I guess it is because I challenged him on a phone call pretty vigorously and he got mad. Some of the people around me are acting like little children having temper fits. It's all about a girl that Trevor's dad is ****** (on earth here that's what people do - one girl and one boy - and go places together and sometimes they come to like each other very much and get married). She is very controlling and has made Trevor's dad spend all kinds of money to change things in his house and to buy new clothes - and she even made him shave off his moustache - that's the hair that human men leave growing on top of their lips. We call those kind of women "Gold Diggers". They spot a man who is having a weak time in his life and pretend to love him and make him spend all kinds of money, usually on the woman (fancy dinners, trips, etc.). When the man's money is gone, the woman flees the scene.

Trevor's dad is very weak minded and so a gold digger has glommed onto him in a big way. Many of his friends think he's being hurt by this woman and Trevor's dad is mad at all of us for trying to warn him and not liking her. I don't like her either. And I SURELY don't like what she's doing to Stan. He's heading for a big broken heart when this comes to an end.

Your cousin Kelly came through with flying colors though - he BIT her!

Rufie,I really hope the Perfect World is like I have imagined it to be. A holy man told me something I didn't like yesterday when I called him for help with Stan. There are so many fairweather friends in this world, (That means they are your friends when you're doing well - the sun is shining in your life - but when you start to have trouble and can't do anything for them - when the clouds and rain come into your life - the leave you.)

That's why I love dogs so much. There are NO fairweather friend DOGS. Your hearts are true and faithful - even to people who hurt you. But I love you, my Baby Rufus and I'll never stop loving and missing you. Say hello to everybody and take a nice long nap in the shade of heaven.

I love you

Your mom
