OH my Baby G

Mommie is crying tonight because she misses you so much. But in a way I am so glad that I don't have to drag you outside and make you walk all those long distances in the bitter cold. You're in the Perfect World now, where everything is nice and warm, the water is fresh and cool, and you always have friends around to play with or just lie in the sun.

I love you, Gretta, the kindest choclate lab who ever lived.

Hi Gretta sorry I missed the party I thought to
add to your True friends Poems; Thinking of you..

[Gretta's Mom]

Merry Christmas Gretta-Girl!

It's supposed to be a happy day but in my heart I miss you so much that my eyes are leaking. Gretta, I love you so much. You looked the world over and found me, just me. Thank you for choosing me at that adoption event. Once I felt your sweet grey muzzle on my lap I knew it was you, that my dog had found me. Thank you for all those days of so many walks and playing wolf and just curling up on the floor. Gretta, you are the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. I love you so much. I am glad that you are in the Perfect World, where you can wait for me in a place where everything is perfect and where when you crossed the bridge, everything bad was washed out of your mind.

Gretta-girl, I love you and miss you. But I know you are waiting for your mom and then we'll be together forever.

Have a beautiful day and tell all the animals up there who have no one to wish the Merry Christmas that your mom says Merry Christmas and sends love to them

I love you, Babyface.

Gretta, baby

See the BIG message Auntie LMM sent you?

Merry Christmas my true love.

This year Mommy is going to try to have a heart more like a dog and less like a person. When you see m slipping, would you nip my heel? Really! It will help remind me. I would be the happiest person in the world if when I left this earth, I had the soul of a dog.

Thank you Babyface.

I love you so much.

Your mommie

Dearest darling Gretta,

Her comes another year rolling around with us still separated. I miss you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much and am trying to be faithful to the things you have taught me. That there IS a being for every person in the world. That that being and the person share the same soul. That the being (you( seaches the universe over to find the person on earth wh shares her soul (me). That you make a way to put yourself in my path. That you CHOOSE the person because you know she is the one. That the two recognize each other at once and a huge love bond forms instantly. That we live in love for a time on this earth and that one of the pair goes on before the other to the Perfect World. That the physical separation is the worst suffering of all. That in leaving, you take part of my soul and leave a part of your for me to treasure. And I have treasured your soul-piece because it is the most precious thing to me. And that someday I will come home to where you are and we will be together forever.

Gretta, a person has hurt me deeply. She has sliced my heart into more pieces than I thought possible. Just like yours when you were turned out into the cold Minnesota weather adn left to freeze or starve to death. Somehow, the dog in you, made you not bitter or angry but even more loving. That's why I am going to try this year to remake my heart into the heart of an old dog. One thing you did was to move on, not to stay with the people who didn't want you and didn't love you. You didn't attack them, you just walked away in sadness. And you almost didn't make it. But you found some loving people who saved your life and nursed you back to health so you could find me. This is a lesson for me.

Don't attack the people who are cruel to you.
Don't stay with people who don't want you.
Walk away in sadness but in dignity.
Carry on as best you can, even if you come near death.
Have confidence that someone will find you in time and love you and rescue you and feed you and doctor you back to health.
And after all that, you will find your true home.

I love you Gretta. This year I will try to learn all your lessons and become a better Dog.

Your mommie

Good morning my sweetheart

I love and miss you more every day. Soon we are going to go back to Trevor's house - the house where we lived for a while. And we are going to live there forever. Please ask Rufus to help you organize a prayer hum for Trevor's mom. She needs some healing right now.

And then wait a few days and organize another one for "the dad." You know why.

I love you so much Gretta. My first dog. My heart opener. The kindest chocolate lab who ever lived.

Your lonely mommy.

[Gretta's Mom]

Hello Gretta the Great, the Kind, the Wonderful,

Even though I miss you with all my heart, I am so happy that you are safe and warm in the Perfect World. It is SO cold here. Yesterday was the coldest day in the last 15 years - even before you were born (I hope). YOu always got an A in socks and boots and never put up any fuss even when you had to wear the snowsuits I tried to alter for you. Your pink sweater was a hit in the neighborhood but I always felt so bad when I had to make you go out into the freezing cold.

Our house is so empty now. yesterday some guys came and picked up all the bookcases and the dresser from the bedroom we never slept in after we got your great big dog bed. You know we're going to live with Auntie Bobbie and Uncle Stan and your two new cousins, Dreamer and Kelly. I call them Binky and Funny Face. The room where you ate and drank is all empty now.

Thank you for coming and staying with me, Gretta-Girl. When I go into the kitchen, I always look at the door because I think I'll see your face coming around the corner looking for something to eat. Oh, Gretta, how can I ever say how much you did for me and are still doing? Never. Aunt Bobbie is sick, the dad is sick, your other aunt is very sick in the head - like some dogs get sick in the brain and it makes them mean and they bite. Please go the the Good Shepherd and ask Him to look down on our family and make all those sick people a little (or a lot) better.

Thank you my baby girl. My heart-opener. My sweetest. You, the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived.

I love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.

Your mommy

[Gretta's Mom]

Hi Babyface,

you and me and Rufus are going to have to make a "parent" group for the people in our life who are having big troubles and try to control the one who is making all the big problems. Rufus and I can kick butt -- but that's not enough. We need your kindness, your gentleness, your calmness, your living-in-the-present acceptance-with-alertness.

We need you strength and your love and your beautiful face to remind us that everything isn't darkness and sickness and cruelty. That by looking in your beautiful eyes we can see the beauty and the love that also is part of life - a bigger part than the bad parts. And that's because the Good Shepherd has more power than the king of evil.

Thank you for being, Gretta. Thank you for being my furbaby. Thank you for being my soul-mate. Thank you for everything you are.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky.

Sleep tight tonight.

Your mommie

[Gretta's Mom]

Hello Babyface, ny first dog,

Thank you for your life - for reminding us that even when things look and are very bad and we're almost at our mind's end trying to figure out a way to survive and to fight someone who wants to kill us, someone else will appear at the last second and rescue us from all that pain and hurt and fear and hunger and bring out the enormous love that is in our hearts.

That's what you did Gretta. Gretta the Great, Doctor Hinson always called you. And you ARE great. You are the living being that proves to us that hope exists and that we must never give up.

I miss you so much, Gretta. My very first baby. When I look up at the stars, I know that the brightest one is you. And someday I will join you in the Perfect World and we will be together forever - under the loving care of the Great Shepherd.

Until then ....... we'll be a two-species pair: you a spirit and me an earthling.

I love you, Babyface.

Your mommie

[Gretta's Mom]

Good morning my Greatest Dog of All Time

I need you with me today - reminding me to stay gentle and kind - and unafraid.

Thank you babyface.

Your mom who misses you

[LoveMyMickey]

Dear Mommy,

I'm always with you!....You, Rufus, and I will all stick together and stay strong no matter what comes our way.

I LOVE YOU, MOMMY!

Your Girl,

Greta

[Gretta's Mom]

OH Gretta,

Look at the BEAUTIFUL picture and touching message Love My Mickey has sent me from you through her. I was just about to ask you to walk by my side today and every day as we continue our move to Trevor's mom's house. MY heart is sad because I will be leaving some very good work friends - especially the people who don't speak English, the Hmong, and my adopted son Abdirizak. Most of all I'm sad and worried because I will be leaving the dad far away and being cared for by a person who has, let's just say, a lot of problems. Dogs know hearts so you know what I mean.

With Rufus on one side to give me courage and strength and you on the other side to give me kindness and joy .... we WILL all make it.

Thank you for finding me Gretta. You're the best!

I love you and miss you SOOOOOOO much.

Your mommie

[Gretta's Mom]

Hi Baby G

I'm still blown away by the beautiful picture and message that Love My Mickey sent me from you. I miss you SOOOOOOOOOOOO much. Thank you for coming with me to our new house. We'll be together there just like we are here. Rufie and all our other friends are going withus too, so we'll be together no matter where we are. I love you SO much, Baby 6. if only time could stand still and we could all still be together. But someday, Baby G, someday.

Mommie

[Gretta's Mom]

Hello daring Baby G

Please take my heart into your soft fur and take care of it today, OK, Baby?

I love you forever and a day.

Your mom

[Gretta's Mom]

Hello my Sweet-Face,

I'm SO happy I don't have to take you outside on the colder day of the year. Your were always so patient when I had to put on your baby sox and dog boots - and you looked so sharp in your pick sweater!

Please go and find your brother Rufus, and Mickey's relatives and Trevor's brothers and the new doggies and kitties coming in the door and curl up in a relaxing ball and just reminisce about your moms and dads who love you.

No matter how hard we have to fight battles on earth, we ALWAYS need your kindness to remind us that we need to fight these fights with honor and kindness.

I love you Baby-G.

Your mommie
