Good morning Gretta The Great

I love you, Babyface. And I have a little job for you. Could you help Rufus round up all your relatives and friends (I know that's a big job because you must have thousands by this time, but maybe there is a signal up there in the Perfect World) and ask for a prayer hum about mmid afternoon where we live? Trevor's mom is having a picture taken of her whole body to see how much good the new medicine is doing? Also, please go to the Big Kind Father and ask Him for a "ridiculous miracle"? He'll know what that means.

Thank you my dearest darling Babyface, the kindest chocolate lab who ever loved.

Gretta's Mom
Good evening my Gretta Girl,

My heart is full of sadness today about how your cat-aunt is treating the dad and all of us. But Trevor's mom is much better and I am slowly earning a friendship with Kelley, Trevor's mom's dog. He has such a hole in his heart from something in his past. I feel so sad for him, so I am trying to put all kindss of love deposits into his little heart so he KNOWS he's loved.

I miss you very very very much, Gretta the Great. And I love you even more than that. Thank you for choosing me to be your soul mate and opening my heart to true love.

Love everry day and night,

Your mommie
Gretta's Mom
Good lovely and sunshiny morning, Gretta Girl,

Could I ask a favor of the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived? I know I ask you for a lot of these but mommie's life is a little hard right now and I need your help. I asked Rufus to do this, too.

Could you go up to the Good Man up there and ask him to help your Auntie M stop acting so crazy and give her just a tiny bit of a loving and kind heart like yours, please? She does hateful things to Aunt Bobbie and me and right now Aunt Bobbie needs to have a peaceful mind so she can fight her illness. And please also thank him a million times for the wonderful report we got from her doctor last Monday.

I love you, Gretta. So much that I can hardly stand it. It makes me so happy to have you up in the Perfect World to love just like when we lived together down on earth here - and to have you and Rufus and all your cousins and friends up there to call on for help when I need it.

I love you, Babyface.

Your mommy

AND RUFUS

Gretta's Mom
HI Babyface,

Mom's just about collapsing under all the bad things that are happening right now. I've got to do all of the Dad's paperwork because he can't do it by himself. And Aunt Reen is cursing at me when ever I call here for some information. I wonder how many more horrible names she can call me.

But no matter what, I know your sweet, kind love is still all around me just like when we lived together. And I will NEVER EVER forget how you chose me to be your mom and soul mate at that first adoption event either of us had ever gone to.

I don't know what I am going to do, Ms Beautiful. I think I'm going back home about the first part of next month. Auntie Bobby is doing very well - much better than anyone expected her to, including her doctor. Her "sickness" number has gone down from 160 to 60 in only two months and the medicine the doctors are giving her isn't even very strong. She has gained some weight (although I think It's mostly her clothes!)and is giving me some hints that it's time to go and let her and Uncle Stan live their lives together for a while. So I think I'm going to go back to our house - and that's going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sad without you or your brother Rufus there. I'll pack up all our stuff and either move to a smaller place in Saint Paul or move here to Baltimore. I know Aunt Bobbie will need me at sometime not so far from now, so I think Baltimore is the place. But the dad is sick and old and Aunt Reen is again living off him - that's why mommie is so mad and sad all the time. That and I miss you and Rufus so much that it feels like a big knife is cutting up my heart.

Right now I'm listening to a CD of my absollute favorite groups of singers - the Holmes Brothers. Aunt Bobbie gave me four cassettes for my birthday. Uncle Marv and I used to go see them all the time when they came to our town. One of them lives here in Baltimore. But they never come to our town any more and I miss them a lot.

Beautiful Gretta, when it's night where mommie lives, would you go and gather up Rufus and all of your cousins and just lie down and send some gentle rays down to Mommie, please? I love you, Sweetheart, with all my heart. You're my very first doggie and I'll never forget that. I always tell people that you are the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. And you are, babyface.

I miss you.

Your mom
LoveMyMickey






My Dear Mommy,


Tonight when the sun sets
And the moon begins to rise,
All of us Spirit Doggies want
You to look toward the skies.

Just let all your worries melt away,
And soak in our love rays
Which forever they are
There to stay.

Dear Mommy, I'm not a very good poet,
But my love for you
I'll always know how to show it.
Rufus is right here by my side.
You know he can never hide.

We love you Mommy!!!!! wub.gif

And I love you, TOO!! Auntie Jeanne!!!

Oh thank you so much LMM for the tree photo and the lovely poem from Gretta. I know our love will always be strong and that she will always be there for me. These days are just kind of a struggle for me.

And thank you Bobbie for your heart that loves me. I love you too.

Gretta's Mom, I'm sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble lately. Jake and I are praying for you. This bouquet won't change anything, but maybe it will cheer you up for a little while. Hang in there, kiddo; you can do it.

Gretta's Mom
Hi Babyface

Isn't this a beautiful bouquet of flowers that Jake's grandpa sent us? He is a very good man with a very good heart. When you see Jake, will you tell him what his grandpa did for us and thank him? Thanks my babyface.

Mommie is very sad andd worried and angry these days. The "dad" - I know you remember him, the kind man we used to go visit all the timee, the one who loved you even when you knocked over the kitchen garbage can and there was garbage all over the kitchen. The Dad has one of the best hearts in the universe. He's very old now and can't live by himself so he's gone to live in that big place where he used to work after the Mom died.

I'm still here in Trevor's mom and dad's house, trying to give them strength so Trevor's mom can get as well as she can. She's doing very will - both inside and out. She gets stornger every day and the pictures the doctors take of her insides and the blood they take out and test (remember when our good friend Dr. Hinson did that to you?).

Gretta baby, please have a little hum prayer for the dad. He is being controlled by some very evil people, one of them you sort of know. They are trying to keep him in the big home where he lives like it was s ome kind of prison and the Chief Evil Doer is trying to steal all his money. Honey, the dad was very very poor for many many years - he slaved to keep us fed and clothed. And I never, ever, heard him complain even once. The one you sort of know - and almost bit at one point because you sensed the bad spirit - is doing all this to him. Because the "king" of this world - as you know from you hard early life - is a very bad being, the worst in the universe. Here on earth, as you know, bad people have an easy time and good people (like Margie who saved your life, and Trevor's mom and dad, and Dr. Hinson and many others) have a very hard time. The evil kind of this world set up a system that if we didn't work VERY VERY hard ALL the time, evial would slowly take over again. All our work to be good and loving was like putting your paw into a bucket of water and then taking it out again. It makkes no difference. But the "King" of your world is a good King. In fact, He is the one whe made everything and who loves everything and every body. If we are good on this evil earth, like you were - the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived - you get to go to the good King's world, the Perfect World where you live now - and get to live there forever. You and all your cousins and our many animal friends and the people who showed kindness and love no matter how much the evil "King's" forces tried to beat them down - if we kee p on doing that and never give up, we'll get to come to where you are and live together in the good "King's" country forever. Isn't that great, Babyface?

I love you every minute of every day. When my heart is crying, I think of you lying beside me, keeping me warm and keeping my heart safe. I fight as hard as I can against the evil king of this world, even though I know it is a hopeless task. And I do that because MY mom and dad and many others since then taught me that that was the right thing to do. Every animal has that good spirit in them. The only way it disappears is that the terrible evil people, the evil King's army, beat it out of them and damage their hearts and minds. But one thing about you animals that we people don't have - you forgive and forget. You can be healed by the power of peope who love you and care for you - like Marsha, Dr Hinson, and me.

Gretta, please stay close to me today. My heart is breaking because of the way the dad is being treated by the evil King's soldiers. I know if I ask you Good King for help and then listen to His answer, dad will come out of this and the evil soldiers will fall. Please lend me a little bit of the hope that sustained you through your long years of rejection and suffering. We're soulmates after all, tight Baby?

Let's see what the day brings. I love you and that is part of what makes me strong.

Have a "Perfect" day, Babyface!

Your mommie
Gretta's Mom
Hi my Gretta the Great

Remember that was the name our wonderful Dr. Hinson gave you? You are the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. You opened my heart to the love of dogs and all animals. I so miss our games, like "Who Wants to be a Wolf?" where you lay on your back and your lips flopped back to show you very (non-)scary teeth. I know those teeth could have done some serious damage to anyone who would have threatened me, though. But everyone was "gentled" by your gentle spirit.

Baby, mommie loves you so much and misses you every day. The gentle courage you put into my spirit, every day, drop by drop, have truly strengthened me for these difficult days. Help me to remember to be kind to everyone - just like you.

I love you babyface.

Your mommie
Gretta's Mom
Gretta the Great - It's a great day!

Love has overcome some GREAT barriers. Trevor's mom is going to see her dad today!! Love has prevailed! Neither very dangerous health problems, not distance, not money, not airplane rides, not old age .... nothing ... NOTHING could stop these two people who love each other more than any daughter ever loved her father and more than any father ever loved his daughter from glimbing over all the mountains that were between them to gaze into each other's eyes and give each other the most loving and powerful hugs on this earth.

Gretta, you are the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived. Thank you for teaching me that kindness was SO much more important than having a fat retirement account. You kept up hope through all the months of cold and starvation on the streets of the northland city wiinter. That gave us courage to keep up hope that the good Lord would keep your Auntie and the dad alive and well enought to see each other again - in person.

Gretta, the sweetest, most loving, most powerful hugs we gave each other will be the kind that Auntie and th dad will give each other. No father on earth has ever loved a daughter as much as the dad loves your mommie, and no daughter on earth has ever loved a father as much as you mommie loves the dad. Its a miracle that they will be able to see each other in person at least this once while they are both living on this earth. I'm so happy that my heart is bursting. THIS is truly what I have worked for all my life - to be able to make it possible for your mommie and the dad and other people I love to experience these momentous gifts in their lives.

Gretta, I'm SOOOO thankful for our lives together. We are still soul-mates - forever. And once in a while something spectacular like this happens and it makes me realize how much your kindness taught me and how thankful I am that you searched the whole universe over and chose me, ME, as your soul-mate. Soul-mates are forever, just like love.

I Love you Gretta. Today is a great day for all of us. Please thank God (the Big Kind Man in your Perfect World) for allowing this to happen.

Your mommie always,

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOOX
Gretta's Mom
Hello My Sweet Gretta

Thank you and your brother and your cousins and all your friends for joining in the hum-prayer-party for Trevor's mom and dad. Trevor's mom's dad gave her the biggest hug ever. They really love each other - but not as much as she loves you. They are coming home tonight and they will be TIRED. But the Big Good Man in the Perfect World has given your mom a HUGE SPECIAL gift - to see her father once more.

I love you, my Gretta. Please keep teaching me kindness - you are the kindest chocolate lab who ever lived.

Good morning babyface,

All I can say today again is that I love you and miss you without end. And thank you for searching all over the universe for me and choosing me to be your soul-mate and opening my heart to the love of dogs and their people.

Darling Gretta, I will NEVER EVER EVER forget you.

I love you, baby girl.

Your sorrowing mommie
Gretta's Mom
Hi beautiful Gretta,

Your eyes - I'll never fotget them. Like you could see all the way into the universe. And your head on my lap ... I had never had that warmth and love experience before. Thank you for your heart - all the love you gave, even after that horrible life you led before lovely Margie rescued you. You glowed with love and kindness that even strangers could see. And people who passed us on the street would even say something about your kindness. I know you are lighting up the Perfect World, too.

I love you, babyface. Always or forever.

Your mom forever
Gretta's Mom
Hey Gretski - you might be getting a little sister!!!

Rufus's second mom told me that the same group where I got you and Rufus had a 7-10 year old yellow lab. wouldn't that be nice!! Then we'd have all the colors of labs in our family. She's going to get me some information on her. She's very thin but not starving - sort of like you but not so starved.

My heart is always hurting because I miss you and Rufus and I thought that if I moved to Baltimore to be with my sister I could never have a dog because she already has two small ones. But when i asked her --- SHE SAID YES!!

Please go and thank the Big Good Man up where you are and keep your hopes up that that new sister can be in our family.

I love you Gretta. I miss you every day. That's why I so want to adopt another dog - and a lab at that.

Thank you for opening my heart to dogs and all their love.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOX

My Doxie and Me
Please forgive me for my words tonight as I honor the Great Gretta Rufus and another in the distant light hello Jeannie whishing well within new hope
I look forward to a picture of your new friend you have such a kind heart. i'am looking to add to the family aswell Sandy a 21 pound Doxie;) Big girl
indeed she went to a very loving family.. I will not be walking in the same path yet as I wish her well in life.


One day I will have to ask Bobbie how do you share the time with only one friend or do you stand by and watch how much happiness and joy they bring
to one another when they run together as one we watch from distance... Once again from the one that kneels to feed her best friend meatballs as they
spend time infront of a fire as life takes note I can only tell what might be.. Once again forgive my words...


When you meet a special person you have to listen and when they speak they have hidden kindness within a beautiful place where only special friends play<Gretta....
As Gretta rests on your heart you look to care for an Elder as I... you found Rufus as you look into a cage of another that was taken.. Within a few steps you find
A big Newfoundland friend as you search your Heart you have chosen to walk to the shelter as you see the one that is taken as you move forward to another cage
to see Rufus as you kneel and whisper < My Angel wings will hold your last breath so you can run free My friend..


Your kind act is more then Heart felt as I watch from a distance I see a good Human take care of the many as I listen to Mountains Cry..
Jeannie your kindness to help an elder is.. As I read the words of Rufus my heart breaks as he has passed yet filled with joy that you both
sit infront of a fire as you hold his big head you set each other free....

Thank you for being a friend and speaking for others your words to dml66 where so touching... So true as I hear someone within Mountain Reach sing songs of past Lessons
<Gretta the Kindness Chocolate lab that ever lived> I took interest in the Human that speaks for a friend in my own broken words to find my...I see your friend...
waiting to kiss Joyful Tears from your face to say.. Thank you for having faith.. Thank you for Believing in me as you hold me... Thank you for allowing me to share..
My last breath as I know this will hurt.. My Friend.

Mr. Rufus
Please put your hand Upon my Head as we connect I listen to words you speak of my last day and I'am so happy to be in your arms to share a moment
of peace is a lifetime of happiness with a friend as we walk home... Together we walk a path to heal each other as your kindness will always be apart
of my life as I sit...I watch an Angel walk down a corridor I so loved that she kneeled infront of my cage as she sets me free.. we walk as one and stories
of my life are told as I watch from above.. Mr. Rufus is a King As Miss Gretta My friend a Queen..

My friend Gretta I see you asleep on a chair with the light that shine from my heart that reaches so many speak the stories told as your Human sits within a window
waiting for a friend she extends her wings to heal all that tell stories of a past friend that lay within thy heart as they speak for us.. to heal so we can...Care for others..
As Mountains cry your songs have given strength to so many as < Gretta> will always kiss you goodnight as I tuck you in as you dream of are last night I kiss dreams of flowing
words to a Human in Need as my lesson to you are complete.. My friend.. My Angel what Beautiful wings you have this night...As I sit in windows sight waiting
for my friend to come home and tuck me in for the night...

Hello my babyface,

A dear person whose Doxie is up there with you in heaven sent my the sweetest picture of a young chocolate lab sleeping on an overstuffed chair. Of course it made me cry because it reminded me of you and how much I love you and how much I miss you and how much I am thankful (Do you know that people in this country have a special day for people to give thanks for the good things in their lives?) to the ends of the universe that you searched it all over and chose me to be your soulmate. If only .....

There are two doggies whose moms are so sad they can't move. Their names are Emma and Smokey. Do you think you can find them and have them let their mommies know that they are still living and are waiting for the day they can be reunited with their moms, never to part again?

Oh thank you, my darling Baby face. You truly ARE the kindest cholcolate lab who ever lived.

Your mom
Gretta's Mom
Hello sweet baby
Sweet babyface

The kindest chocolate lab
Who ever lived.

My first dog
Like a first love
Will always be extra special

We walked, we ran,
We played
Outside and in
Who wants to be a wolf?

Gretta, my lovely
Your precious face is captured here
In a photo
White muzzle, reddish eyes
Should I worry?

Just chewing on a bone

And smiling.

XOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOOX

Gretta's Mom
My first dog
The one who opened my heart
And my eyes

Gretta the Great
the vet called her
Because she was a miracle dog
I should have seen pictures
I thought he meant x-rays.

Gretta the Kind
Strangers on the street stopped us
To say how kind she is - not was
She is still kind today
They just cannot see her
And I cannot walk her
Good thing, too
The terrible freezing weather is coming
That froze her feet and chilled her bones

Gretta my Lovely
I am leaving our house
And going far away
To live with Binky and Funny Face
And Uncle S and Aunt B

I can only take the most precious things
With me
Last night I cried myself to sleep - again
I packed up all of your swweet baby socks
And dog boots
And your raincoat
And your two snowsuits
And your blaze orange cover
And your collar and leash
And all your toys
Even if you didn't play with them

I'm leaving large parts of myself behind
But I am taking every single thing that was yours
The tinest scrap
Even a label from a piar of baby sox.
I am taking ALL of you
So we will be altogether one
No matter where we go.

And one day we will meet again
And hold each other forever
And never cry again.

I Love you, Gretta.
Gretta's Mom
Gretta, baby
My always and forever babyface.
Where are you?

I know you are in a Perfect Place
And part of my heart
Is glad.

But part of my heart
misses you more than anything
And my evenings are filled with longing
For you, my beautiful chocolate
The kindest who ever lived.

The absinthe of time is doing its awful job
As sharp images blur around their edges
And meld into a single, simple heart of love
For you, the dog who opened that heart
And taught me what the heart of a dog
Was really like.

Thank you for teaching me all those things
And thank you even more for the love we shared
While you were on earth
And the knowing about soulmates,
Taking a piece of each other's souls
And that that missing piece of soul
Hurt more than anything imaginable
But that it was only for a time
A time that drops by ever so slowly
But that each time drop brings me closer
To the time we will be together again.

I love you, baby Gretta.
Forever and a day.

Mommie
My Doxie and Me

Words from a Friend that sits listening to many I seem to always hear Gretta and the great Human that walks up the stairs to find a friend
fast asleep on a chair waiting for her friend to come home... Forgive my broken words I wish you well in your journey and look forward
to your new friend that takes the path you walk how Blessed he or she will be I have seen beautiful colors of life come from the many words
you speak from mountain tops...

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.

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.

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

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

Dear Mommy, wub.gif

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,

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

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.

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.
