Good Morning my beloved Gretta.
No, I have not forgotten you because I have not written to you for such a long time. Did you see the fall that Rufus and I had that morning when there was just a TINY bit of snow covering a small patch of glass-smooth ice? Mommie hurt her foot pretty bad that day. Some kind people helped us by calling the "sick people's car" (you know, the one that goes vi-oo vi-oo and that we sometimes saw coming out of the firehouse when we took our morning walks). Thye don't let dogs ride in the sick people's car, so two kind women brough Little Brother home and then came to the hospital where mommy was and gave me back the keys. My foot was BROKEN pretty bad and I could not take care of Little Brother so I brought him to Dr. Hinson's (you know, the one who gave you your name GrettaThe Great) and then his foster mom picked him up and brought him home to her home in Wisconsin. She loves him as much as I do and he'll have another dog to play with. I had to have an operation on my foot (you were lucky here on earth, you never had to have an operation). The bones inside were all smashed so they had to put some metal plates and pins inside to keep my foot together. I can't walk on that foot for another three weeks. But that isn't why I'm writing to you today. You already know that your cousin Trevor's mommie is very sick. She had to have a HUGE operation two weeks ago but she is getting a little better. She's in a BIG hospital - like Dr Hinson's only this hospital is as big as the whole college we lived by!! Her operation went pretty well, but her stomach stopped working because of a sickness she had many years ago. So today they are moving her to a smaller hospital for people who aren't quite so sick and who need to get stronger so they can come home. She is very frightened about moving to this place. It's an good place but she doesn't know any of the people, etc. I think it must be a lot like the first day you came to live with me. We didn't really know each other but we were both kind (and you HAD chosen me at that adoption event) so we fell in love very fast, didn't we? I've asked Trevor to go lie under the My People Need Special Help Today tree and send down strength and love rays to hs mommie. I also told him he could invite his brothers and his cousin (that woudl be you(. Gretta, people who didn't even know you said you were kindest chocolate who ever lived. I know your gentle, kind, strong spirit can really help her today. Thank you my BabyFace. Don't forget who loves you! |

Gretta's Mom, please let Trevor's Mom know that she is in my "Special Intentions" prayers every day, and that we need her here as soon as she can get back.

Hi Precious BabyFace
It's been a long time since mom wrote to you but I know you understand. I have another labor of love for you and your cousin Trevor: go to the entrance of the Perfect World and look for two doggies who have just arrived. They both came from a place called A Loving Goodbye. They've been through some horrible suffering here on earth. One burned to death in a fire and one froze to death ourside in the winter. Give them some gentle licks. Hum to them in your encouraging way. Let them know that they have arrived in a Perfect World and will NEVER, EVER by cold, hungry, burned, hated, abused or anything else like that. Let them know that all that is behind them and that in just a little while they will forget that it even happened to them. Show them the warm fields of grass and let them watch other animals playing in the sun. They might be feeling a little weak still, so show them the big love tree where animals can rest in the sahde and bask in the happiness they now enjoy in the Perfect World. And let them know - although they won't REALLY believe until they've seen it for themselves - that this Perfect World never ends and that thousands of people on earth love them and are sending kindness to tham. Thank you, BabyFace - you're just the girl for the job - the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Your mom |

Hi Baby-G
First, let me tell you outloud how much I love and miss you. I'm taking care of your two cousins, Dreamer and Kelly, right now and they are great dogs, but they are not you - or Little Brother. Then let me ask you - AGAIN - to send me some love and strength rays today. You know why. Baby-G your are my heart. You carry a piece of my soul and I carry a part of yours. The ache in my heart will never go away until I see you again. Please have a peaceful time in the Perfect World today. And God bless all animals both on earth and in the Perfect World. Love forever, Your mom |

My Dear Sweet Gretta,
Keep sending those love and strength rays to your mommy. You and all the Spirit animals keep sending prayers for Aunt Bobbie to be healed. Send her all the love, strength, and encouragement you can find.

Hello My Doxie
BY now you probably know that last Thursday Rufus went back home. It's on the Death and Dying thread. My shell is very hard because I have always had to be the Rufus - the brave one, the smart one, the one who would take action no matter how my inside heart was crying. And now it's crying so loudly that the world can almost hear it. There'll never be another Rufus, just like there'll never be another Gretta or another Doxie. Rufus and I were together only 21 months. What a horribly short time. But when i think back on it, I think that Rufus taught me how to be good at the same time as being strong. Someday we will all be with our beloveds and we will never have to separate again. And I'll get to see you and your beautiful Doxie. Thank you for remembering me and for your beautiful and meaningful poetry and pictures. Gretta and Rufus's mom |

Oh my beautiful Gretta the Great
Mommie has not forgotten about you - never, ever. From where you are you can see all the horrible things that have been happening to me. Now even your little brother Rufus has gone to the Perfect World to live with you and like when you went, mommy is crying. Crying for Rufus, crying for you, crying for everything sad and bad and dangerous and mean and hateful and you name it that has happened to your mom in the last two months. Gretta, you are my first dog. I will never forget the way you chose me at the first adoption event I ever went to. You had a beautiful white muzzle and walked slowly over to me, laid your head on my lap and pawed my leg saying, "Please will you take me home." Of course, my baby, of course I would take you home. There was such a sad look in your eyes then. It broke my heart. Now your little brother Rufus has joined you in the Perfect World and my heart is breaking again. Please sen a drop of cool rain to my heart so I know everything is not hopeless. Someday we'll be together and there won't be all this sorrow. I love you Gretski! Romp and play and lie in the cool grass up there where you are and someday you'll see mommy walking toward you neveer to part again. I love you, Gretta. Your forever mommie |

Hello My Sweet Gretta,
![]() I'm sorry I haven't written sooner, but I will never forget you and your mommy and Rufus. Please send your mommy some rays of comfort, love, and encouragement. She is so heartbroken that Rufus went to be with the angels. We know that you, Rufus, Mickey, Jake, Jenna, and all the others are in a better place, but we miss you all so much.......Little Quincy, the Maltese, joined you all yesterday. Please welcome him. I love you, Miss Gretta! ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the Musketeers, Auntie LoveMyMickey -------------------- "Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." |

Hi Gretski
Have you met little Quincy, the little white mop-dog? Isn't he a sweet heart? His mom is named after a flower - can you believe that? A few of us who really REALLY love your mom have become a special group. We call ourselves the Musketeers. There is a famous people story about three musketeers many many years ago. A musket is a old gun, but in those days they hadn't been invented yet - people, how goofy!! They did good deed and protected the weak. That's what we're about. When one of our people, or dogs or other family members, gets sick or is in some trouble we come close and help each other. We had to evict someone from the group because he started being cruel to another member and we try only to love and help each other. Gretski, right now I'm back home here all alone, just like I was after you went to the perfect World. This time I've hurt my foot in a big way and it will be many months before I can walk well enough to adopt another brother or sister for you and Rufus. My heart is breaking and you two are my consolation. I try to remember that you two were hurt, hungry and abandoned for long times in your life and still you kept up hope until we found each other. You went through much worse things for a much longer time that I have, and you emerged as what everybody who saw you siad, the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Please live your perfect life up where you are and once in a while hum some prayers and good wishes for the Musketeers and for eveyone who is crying today because their soul-mate has gone home. I love you, Gretta-girl. Forever and ever. Your mom |

Hello Babyface
Just a short note to remind you that I love you and miss you and will never forget you and that I am waiting for the day we can all be together in the Perfect World and never have to be separated again. I miss you SOOOOOOO much, Gretski. I know you love and miss me too. You are my first dog-child, the one who opened my heart to the love that only animals can give. Thank you so much my baby girl. Your mom. |

Oh Gretta
My Doxie and written a beautiful poem for us. I hope he doesn't go away like he said one time he would. He asked for a day in your life and we are going to give him one - your best day. Should we give him the day we met and you laid your head on my lap and pawed my leg as if to ask, "Please take me home."? Or should we give him the day we had our pledge talk and gave our hearts to each other for real? Or should we give him one of the days we joggd down a mile on the median of Summit Avenue, running in the sun like two gooy oldsters? Or should we give him a day when you so patiently wore you pink sweater and boots and sox and trudged through the winter snow? I've got an idea: Let's give him ALL those days, OK? I knew you'd say yes. You are thie kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. I love you Gretta the Great. I miss you every day. Take care of Rufus for me. Sometimes he needs a loving hand to pet him and tell him he's a GOOD dog. Until we meet again ..... Your mom |

Hello my Gretta-girl
Yesterday was one of THOSE days. I went to pick up Rufie's bag from the big animal hospital - like the one you got. Like the day I got yours, I cried all the way back to work. I learned from you that sadness and loneliness never leaves. Thank you for being my soulmate, baby. Thank you for choosing me at that first adoption event. You knew me. From all eternity you knew me. And then you found me. And gave me happiness I didn't know existed. I miss you and I'll never stop loving you and waiting for the day I see you again. Your mom |

Hi Babyface,
Mommie is BIG-sad today. Your auntie may be coming to join all of you in the Perfect World in not too long a time. Could you and Rufie find Trevor and organize another prayer-hum, please? I love you, my sweet and kind Gretta girl. Mommie |

My darling BabyFace
Please don't think mommie has forgotten you or loves you less. You are my first dog. You opened my heart to the love of animals. You led me around the world noticing things at a dog's height. You are in my heart forever. You know how to comfort my heart. You taught me how to sing - outloud - with made-up words. You taught me how to run again. You were so kind that strangers remarked on your kindness. You always were willing - even anxious - to play "who wants to be a wolf?" and roll over for a tummy rub. What I wouldn't give to have you here beside me at this stime of immense sadness. You know what I mean, don't you, Baby. Thank you for choosing me at that adoption event. Thank you for being my white buffalo. Thank you for sleeping on your big ortho dog bed, right at my head so I always knew you were there. A big thank you and the most love for the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Your mom |
