  1. #CW graphic description of animal trauma and suffering.

    It’s been four years now since Millie was cruelly murdered.

    Delta trained & accredited it made no sense. She was gentle, loving & incredibly intelligent.

    She loved fetch & trained in gunpowder detection.

  3. Mr Kitty is now home, where he belongs. In time for #Caturday.

    Still undecided on which photo to use, or if I will change it regularly.

    Also not sure where I will end up keeping his memorial.

    Looking forward to allowing the tears to flow freely again, when I have time to myself.

  4. It would have been Arry’s birthday today.

    But neither of my beautiful babies are with me now.

    Today is a very sad day.

    I miss you and Millie more than words can say.

    Relish the time you have with them.

  5. #MondayMourning: The Rainbow Bridge Poem

    If you've ever had a pet, you're probably familiar with this poem. It's the go-to condolence for animal lovers. If you're not in the know, it's a poem that's been featured all the way from Dear Abby to every veterinarian's office ever. It describes animals "crossing the bridge" into a super awesome meadow. Their youth, health, and mobility are restored, and they spend their days romping about together. They're fantastically happy, but for one thing: they miss their person.

    Eventually, a day comes when the pet sees a familiar figure in the distance. They break from the pack, running to tackle their person with vigor, then escort them across the bridge. Everybody cries.

    For years, the poem has been credited as Anonymous or Unknown. Worse, several people have claimed authorship. A writer of pet cemetery books (no, not that Pet Sematery book) recently tracked down the original author. She was astonished to learn that her words had been famous for decades. She still has the first handwritten draft, completed after the family dog died in 1959.

    Edna Clyne-Rekhy, an 82 year old artist and animal lover, lives in Scotland. She was only 19 when her dog, Major, died in her arms. Prompted by her deep grief, Edna's mother suggested she write down her feelings. Those words have brought comfort to millions of pet lovers ever since.

  6. One of my missions in life is to bring people comfort. It is with great honor I offer GRIEF work. I can CUSTOMIZE anything for you. It's not easy work and I hear so many touching stories. Most make me cry. But it's something I am called to do.
