Hi Love My Mickey

Just stopping by to tell you "thank you' again for the wonderful person you are and for how much you have helped and encouraged me through the past year +. Your poem "Gretta's reply" was truly divinely inspired and will stay with me, comforting my heart for the rest of my life - until we are all reunited.

Thank you, my friend.

Dear, Wonderful LoveMyMickey,

You are one of the most amazing people I've ever known! Thank you for caring so much and always acting on that caring. If I could be half as good as you I would consider myself very fortunate.

Mickey, you have a winner in your mommy!

Love and thanks,
XObobbieXO

[LoveMyMickey]

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Bobbie.



My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

I have felt especially sad and lonely for you today. I don't know why unless it's because tomorrow is Father's Day and your daddy won't have you, his buddy, beside him. But I know your sweet spirit and love will be right here with both of us as it is every day.

My Little One, I hope you didn't get tired of me talking to you today while I did the laundry in the basement. I talked a long time, didn't I? I listened to your little? bark and my voice that is recorded on your treat ball. A few minutes ago after the lawn guy mowed I added some more artifical flowers to yours and Annie's gravesite. They last longer than real ones......You have lots of buddies out there too. I put birdseeds and bread in the backyard close to you and there are all different kinds of birds and as soon as they see me, they start talking and singing. I heard words that I have never heard before. Also lots of squirrels and rabbits come by. Sometimes a couple of groundhogs come by. I think they eat the clover blooms.

My Sweet Boy, I'll be quiet now, I just needed to write to you tonight. Have fun with all your precious LS friends and all that come into Heaven....Until next time....

Goodnight and God Bless...

Dear Mickey and your Mommy,

I can imagine how difficult yesterday was for your daddy AND your mommy. They have so many memories of you, GOOD and some not-so-good, but every single one of them is filled with love, love, love. I'm so glad your mommy has a recording of your voice. I have a short recording of Trevor walking around a friend's yard. I wonder why it is, at the time we are making these recordings, we don't make them at least several hours long (in total)? It would probably be too painful for us for a long time. I don't know.

My doctor told me that I cannot be on my computer before bedtime as that might be one reason why I just don't sleep for hours (until 2-3 am), so I will be writing to you and Gretta and Hermy and Trevor in the morning or early afternoons from now on. But if something really important happens, you could get a FLASH BULLETIN at any time!

Mickey, have a super day, playing with all your friends and any relatives up there. Don't forget Benjamin. I think about you every day and I, too, really love you. Just wait until we meet. Then you'll see what I mean!

LoveMyMickey, you, too, have a peace-filled day and you are on my love-list, too! your hubby would be, too, but I don't know him!

Love,
XObobbieXO

Hi Bobbie,

Yesterday, esecially last evening, was hard with Mickey gone. While watching tv Mickey would lay on one end of the couch with his daddy in the middle. When Mickey wanted to get on the other end, daddy would lean over and let him by. Last night his daddy felt a movement, and it reminded him of that.....What I can't understand is this, I have run my Swifter duster under the couch several times since Mickey has been gone and this morning I still got Mickey hairs on the duster when I dusted....Hmmmmm, makes you wonder.....

I don't know why, but I never took a video of Mickey. I bought a good camera while we had him and a camera cell phone but I only took lots of still pictures. I think I was always trying to get good pics of him to send to his first parents, which I did. I love to look at his pics, but I believe it would be too sad to watch a video.

Bobbie, Mickey and I both love you too and you would love hubby too. He is a kind and patient gentleman. I don't know how he puts up with me. ...

Mickey loves all his little angel friends, Trevor & brothers, Gretta, Hermy, Benjamin, and ALL!!!!

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

[Bobbie]

Hi LoveMyMickey!

That did have to be a hard Father's Day for your hubby. But, you guys are getting all sorts of signs from Mickey and that is so cool! I've only gotten one (total) from all my boys and that was an indirect one from Trevor. And I'm still very upset that I cannot find the baggie with Trevor's hair in it. I've looked just about everywhere except in the basement! Come back! Come back! You precious little bundle of fur!!!!!

You know, The little bit of video that I have of Trevor actually makes me feel so happy at the same time that I am missing him like crazy! I'm happy because, other than a few times in his own back yard, this was the only other grass that he felt under his feet and it was incredibly soft and cool. I wish I had gotten more of Trevor trotting, but...... This was the one big time Trevor was FREE!!!! all afternoon he could wander in the yard, pee on the trees, poop in the yard, walk on the cool stones of the patio and smell every and anything he wanted. He was a bit afraid at first, but settled in quite easily once Stan and I stopped hovering over him like he was going to break! I also have some pictures from then in my collage. Now THAT is one of the healing things I did that I never thought would heal me at all. Amazing!

You mention something about sending pictures to Mickey's "first parents". Were they not able to keep Mickey? Were they his foster parents? I am very cruious now, but you don't have to tell me anything that you don't want to. Me? I wear just about everything on my sleeve.

Have a great day, my friend!
I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!

Hi Bobbie,

I can imagine the one little video would make you happy seeing Trevor playing and running in the grass and just doing his thing...I do remember trying once to make one of Mickey, but didn't have any luck, so I just didn't think about it anymore. I'm happy to see that with you working with Trevor's collage has helped you heal, but I'm sorry you can't find the little baggie of hair. Maybe it is in the basement.

Mickey's original parents had him for 5 years and because of their health problems they had to give him up. I really felt sorry for them.......I am writing a small story about each of our dogs over the years to add to my Tribute thread. I'm writing it on Microsoft Word first and then put it here.

Bobbie, if you wish, I can put a pic of Trevor in a post. If you can send it to me in an email, I can put it here. I'll send you my email address in a PM.

Have a good night, my friend, with plenty of sleep and give Dreamer and Kelley a big ole belly rub for me.....God Bless..

Hello My Sweet Sweet Mickey,

It is beginning to feel like summer here. I remember you used to get so warm with your pretty heavy coat. I didn't want to cut your hair real short so I would thin it out a little. You always enjoyed laying in front of the AC floor vents.

Mommy took daddy to his heart dr. this morning just for a checkup. He is doing okay. The dr. office has moved to a big new medical building. I did good, I didn't turn down too many wrong roads and didn't hit anybody.

Well, my little one, it's time for my soap on tv, so I will go......Until next time, mommy and daddy loves you and misses you sooooo much.

XOXOXO Mommy XOXOXO

My Sweet Little Mickey,

Today is your 16th month angel-versary since you went to be with the angels. Seems like you have been gone forever.

Oh how I miss those dancing, sparkling eyes when you smelled your chicken cooking, or when you wanted a treat, or when you wanted to play or...........Oh how I miss you sweet boy......I try to think of the good and fun times we had for all those years. I know you want me to be happy......Your daddy feels the same way I do, of course you know that too.

My Little One, I hope you have a wonderful heavenly day with all your friends. Don't worry about mommy and daddy, we'll be okay..................Until next time.....

We love you and miss you more every day.

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

[Gretta's Mom]

Hi Sweet Mickey

Just seeing your picture makes me smile. Your mom has been my "rock" for the past year since my Gretta went to the Perfect World. Thank you for sending sings to your mom and dad so they could know FOR SURE that you were OK and living in the perfect World. When you doggie go home, you take that piece of our souls with you (and we keep part of yours). SO when we can't sense you around us, our hearts - oh, those human hearts - get sad and ours eyes leak. But deep inside we're happy for you living in health, warmth, happines, friendship, pplay, sunshine ..... We just wish that we could be ther with you - which we WILL when it's the right time.

LMM - I would like to send you a book that Bobbie recommended to me. It's called "I'll see you in heaven". I ordered it from Amazon a few days ago so it should be here soon. I'm a complete dunce on this site doing anything more complicated than posting and replying to posts. If you'd be willing, could you send me a personal message with a place to send the book - even if it's a friends house or something like that. It's written by a Franciscan monk and apparently has all kinds of religious and biblical "proof" that we SHALL be reunited with your furbabies in heaven.

Gotta go now - Rufie is barking to play "bone" - a game that Bobbie taught him when she was here this winter.

Thank you for your loving heart.

Hello Dearest LoveMyMickey!

Check out my latest posting on I Love You Trevor! I wrote to the LS Administrator about the woman who was getting away with writing about her cockatiel and asked why all the doggies couldn't have the same right................................................Now they do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check out what breed of dog Trevor is! It's all over the post!!!!!!!!!!!


And BTW - I hope you and your hubby are having a restful and peaceful Sunday. I told my sister about that book "I Will See You in Heaven" and it is one of the nicest and most appropriate books out there. It's a small book and with short chapters, but I immediately wrote Trevor's name in it. I hope you like it.

I LOVE YOU, MICKEY!
XO bobbieXO

PS: WHAT breed is Trevor?????

[LoveMyMickey]

Hi Gretta's Mom,

I thank you so very much for offering to send me the book, but I have already ordered it (along with a toilet seat ) that we need from Amazon. I had seen the name of the book in either one of yours or Bobbie's posts. It sounds like a leaky eye book, but sounds very interesting. I haven't received it yet.

Hi Bobbie,

Thank you for suggesting the book. It sounds very interesting. I like small books with short chapters.
We had a restful day, hope you all did too. It got up to 91, but the humidity was low.

What breed is Trevor? hmmmmmm, let me think.......still thinking.......got it!!!! COCKER SPANIEL!!!!

Thank you both again. Have a good night with the furbabies!!!!

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

[LoveMyMickey]

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Well, another Tuesday is here and mommy had leaky eyes this morning. It is really a bittersweet day because mommy and daddy met June 26, 19_ _ on a Greyhound bus just down the road from here. We have lived in many areas and now have come full circle.

My sweet boy, one of the greatest joys was having you in our life....We love you baby, with all our heart and soul....Untill next time, my little one, enjoy your Perfect World and we will meet again someday....


XOXOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXOXO

[Bobbie]

Dear, sweet Mickey,

Well, today is another bump-in-the-road Tuesday for your mommy and daddy. I don't know how they sneak up on us so quickly, but they seem to be coming closer and closer together.
I know you already know this, and have from the beginning, but your mom and dad love you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much: both when you were all able to be together on Earth and even now when you are separated physically from each other's Spirits. You were the apple of their eyes and I know that their eyes still leak all over the place for you. For when some companion comes into our lives, as you did for your mommy and daddy, the mark that is placed on their hearts and souls can never be erased or changed. You will be Sweet Mickey forever.
And if you are anything like your mommy, you are the sweetest dog ever! (well, next to Trevor, of course) Oh! What fun it would have been to meet on this side of Paradise, but it will be even better later because we will never HAVE to say Farewell - only "see you later".
Dear, Dear Mickey, happy another Tuesday for you and please send down some of those "Happy Rays" that are shining all over Heaven on YOUR day so that your mommy and daddy can feel their warmth and love as well.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, MICKEY!

Hello Love-My Mickey

Great minds .... you and Bobbie and I are like three musketeers! Thank you for that. Coming up on a year angel-versary is SO hard. Until that happens - no matter how hard you try not to and how much it hurts, you still get to think, "last year at this time Gretta/Mickey/Trevor was still here." After a year it seems much more final - althought the leaky eyes don't stop and you DEFINITELY don't stop missing them, longing for eveything about them.

Thank you so much for helping me get through Gretta]s one-year on April 10. We musketeerswill stick together here on earthe and someday get together with all our "heavenly" Musketeers. (Hope they don't put on a pirate party for us!)

Thank you for your loving heart.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

[LoveMyMickey]

Thank you Gretta's Mom and Bobbie!!!.....Gretta's Mom, I like the "heavenly musketeer pirate party" idea as long as Johnny Depp is there.



Hello My Dear Sweet Mickey...

Yesterday was a "break down and have a leaky eye day" and I don't know why. But mommy feels better today. It is so hot here, should reach 102 today. But I know you are in a Perfect Place and there's no bad heat to bother your breathing.

Sweet Boy, I hope you and all your angel friends are having a fun day and don't forget to welcome all the new ones......Until next time, remember mommy and daddy will ALWAYS love you. You were and are that special little soulmate......We miss you sooooo much....

XOXOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXOXO

Hello Mickey!

This here is Trevor's mommy and I'm going to tell you, once again, what a fabulous mommy and daddy you have! WOW! You must be winning all the Bragging Contests in Heaven! And that's Super! Kind of like YOU!

Hi LoveMyMickey!

I know this heat is going to drive us insane soon. My dad told me he'd heard that "we" (whoever that is) are two months ahead of schedule with the weather. In other words, we are experiencing late August weather now. Goody. Can't wait to see what August brings!

I hope you had a good weekend together. We went "Goodwilling" and found some great toys for all the grandchildren and greatnephews. We decided that we are just going to be called Grandma Bobbie and Grandpa Stan because we are forgetting which kid is which now.

Trevor's one-year anniversary (I don't like calling it angel-versary - a bit too whatever for me) is fast approaching this month. I was going to laminate the letters we wrote and read to him last year, but I think I will try for a new one instead. I just have such trouble with words, finding new ways to proclaim his wonderfulness. What did you do for Mickey's 1st year anniversary? Trevor's is on a Sunday, so we have the entire day to do things. I've got plenty of "OFF" spray for the bugs, we have a nice old bench very close to Trevor's grave, his Grandmom and Grandpop are going to be there, too. I just know that it is going to be a difficult day for me. Luckily I have an understanding husband, sister and YOU to lean on and believe me, I will. (Now if I could only copy and laminate that collage of Trevor - it would be perfect!)

LoveMyMickey, I want to thank you for being such a loyal and good friend to someone you don't even know! The love and compassion you have in your heart, and so freely give to others, makes our lives better. I hope the same is true for you! Please try and stay as cool is possible again this week. I find the coolest spot is on the carpeted floor, with a small fan blowing nearby and two dogs snoring their lungs out. Not too good for sleeping, but I do stay cool. Oh! TV or reading or both are optional!

Bless you and Mickey and his daddy!
Love YOU!

Hi My Sweet Little Mickey!

Isn't Trevor's mommy the BEST? I bet you and Trevor are both in that bragging contest.

Little One, we had a storm come through last night and we went to the basement. Your daddy patted the place between us on the couch and said your name. I believe you were there in spirit and maybe you were protecting us. Some parts of our town had power outages and trees down........My Sweet Boy, we miss you and love you more each day. Until next time, enjoy your heavenly perfect world and be sure to welcome all the new little angels.......

XOXO Mommy XOXO


Bobbie, I want to thank you too, for being a good and loyal friend. You have helped me so much since I've been here. As time goes by, I feel better, but then a bad leaky eye day will enter........About the one year anniversary, I put flowers on Mickey's gravesite, which is in our back yard. I cried a lot...........I hope Trevor's one year anniversary isn't too hard on you all......You can "Lean On Me"anytime.

Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me, when you're not strong and I'll be your friend.
I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

You just call on me if you need a friend.
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.
Lean on me!

God Bless you and family and furbabies....

LoveMyMickey

[Gretta's Mom]

Hi Love My Mickey

I also want to thank YOU for being a friend through these many months (more than a year now) of grief and very leaky eyes. The poem you wrote me - Gretta's response to my apology to her for .... well, you know ....was THE most curing thing that has happened to me. (That and the love you you and Bobbie). I have shared it with several people here on LS - always letting them know who the kind person is who had those precious thoughts and words - hoping it would hel their hearts as much as it had helped mine.

LMM, you are the best.
