Thinking About an Angel at Christmas

The Jiggliest Angel

This week 2 years ago was the last good week little Winnie Wiggles had during her three month fight with GME encephalitis. Winnie was my heart, my velcro girl, and my best friend. My fondest hope is that I will see her again someday.

Heavenly Missive

Whippy creme and scrambled eggs are
Way up here in Heaven
In case you too
See only blue and
wonder what you're gettin

They're other things like angel wings
With fur that's never sheddin'.
There's no disease or achin knees
and wrinkles smooth and silken

I fall asleep and dream of you
and times when we were given
to sprint and run and tug on toys
and dash to mom for lovin.

Tonight no tears oh Howie dear
because I have been taken
I’ll kiss your cheek and whiskers sweet
And heal the ache within you.

The pain it fades and goes away
And even loss feels lighter
When time moves on then pushes back
All that separates us.

Nancy,

I always cry when I hear you talk about Winnie. What a precious girl. I hate that her time with you was so short, but could anyone have loved her better than you in the days she was here? Nope. Only you.

I really do believe that we'll see our pets in Heaven. What a wonderful reunion it will be!

Thinking of you today- I know this time of year must bring all kinds of emotions. Hoping that the sadness is brief, and the memories of Winnie and your 3 little rascals at home will sustain you.

I know we will see out little ones again. I have a boat load of animals waiting on me at the Rainbow Bridge. I just have to figure out how to get all those treats to Heaven with me!I know you loved her very much and she loved you right back. Pugs have a way of doing that. Love the poem, too.

Nancy:

When that great reunion day comes, I can see her running toward you wiggling like a bowl of jello in happiness.

Until then, I am quite sure she is a star helping to light up the sky for you at night.

Aww, sweet little Winnifred. Hard to believe it's been 2 years Nancy. She sure does weigh heavy on your heart doesn't she. Just look at that face. Diva dog to the max.
