Dreamer And Kelly, The sweetest cocker spaniels in the world Options

[Gretta's Mom]

Friends

I am starting this topi so that I can communicate with two amazing dogs who have suddenly been taken away from me by a ruthless and heartless person who shall go unnamed.

They are both rescued cocker spaniels. Dreamer is just that - a dream come true. He is a black and white cocker, about 8 years old, who is the most lovable dog alive. He knows when I am sad (as I have had many occasions to be in the past two years with its many losses) and will come from wherever he is to sit next to me an lick my face unceasingly. Kelly is black with a white blaze. He was very afraid when we got him - he fear-bit everybody he met, including me when I reflexively reached into his mouth to fish out a soda bottle top he was choking on. Gradually, by coaxing him to sit in front of me with his back to me, I earned his friendship. My heart melted whe I found out he knew how to "shake hands". That meant somebody sometime in his life had loved enough to teach him a trick. Now he will flip over on his back for a tummy rub even. The only thing he does not do is kiss (unless I put some peanut butter on my lips). Just to hurt me, a family member has taken these dogs away and will not allow me to see them. It's hard to tell whose heart is most broken - mine or theirs. But I will keep writing to them here on Lightning Strike because they are old and Kelly is starting to get PDPU and Dreamer has a very sensitive stomach and any irregularity in his feeding (or feeding him people food) will cause him to have fresh bloody diarrhea.

While these two beautiful dogs are not actively dying, both they and me are dying inside so I hope you will forgive me for including their story here.

God bless all the friends who have stood by me here on Lightning-Strike in the past.

Thank you so much, Little Girl's Mommy, for understanding how heartbreaking this is and for the encouragement that Dreamer and Kelly both know how much I continue to love them. I think I will be able to at least see them when I go over to my BIL's house to pick up a table. I know I will leave with a broken heart, but having other people who believe along with me that they carry my love in their hearts is SO reassuring.

God speed Little Girls' Mommy and may He protect you from whatever is going on with your Little Girl.

Love,

Gretta and Rufus's mommy

Let us know how things go when you pick up the table!! However things seem while you are over there, Dreamer and Kelly know how you feel !

Oh, and thanks for the kind words toward me. I lost my Little Girl in '04 and that was when I found this wonderful site. (I now have my 2 precious kitties, Cubby and Sunny).
