MY DARLING DAISY-GIRL’S SECOND BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN 24 May 2011 Happy Birthday, my sweet darling little Daisy-dog, this is your second birthday in Heaven. I didn’t cry one tear in front of my colleague’s at work, but I allowed myself a few before work and I allowed the floodgates to open when I got home. I know God and Flicka and Tigger will have given you a wonderful party with all your animal and animally-people friends and I am happy for you, but I miss you (and Flicka and Tigger) so much. My Daisy-darling, I want to hold you tight and cuddle your soft white curls and do Eskimo kiss, nose to nose as I gaze into your darling little blind eyes that I could feel, saw so much and that I know are completely restored to full sight now. I want to hear your joyful little squeals of delight with your precious little paws on the window-sill when I returned home and feel the mutually adoring welcome at the door with your tail wagging a thousand to the dozen and your little paws so gently on Mommy’s knees. Mommy will be with you again one day, not soon, I don’t think, but eventually, and then you and Tigger and Flicka and Benji and Cleo and me will be together forever. Owl |

Thank you, my very dear friend, Martie, for understanding so perfectly. I so needed that hug. Hugs back. Your Precious will have been at Daisy's birthday party, and will have loved her own welcome party when she arrived at the Gates of Heaven recently to be welcomed by Flicka, Tigger and Daisy and all their friends. They will all be so happy every day, playing and sending us messages and being our Guardian Angels. Owl |

We have an Irish Setter about 6 years gone... sometimes I'll walk into a room and it's like she's there the odor of her hose-wet, sweaty body is so strong....cool piece my friend. j. |

Thank you Jimmy. I am so sorry to hear of your loss of your Irish Setter girly. I know exactly what you mean - and at that moment it hits you full in the solar plexus. I understand that my babies, Flicka in 2002, Daisy in 2009 and Tigger in 2010, had to go at the respective ages of 37½,14½ and 15½, but I ache so much without them. I am consoled by the fact that they are well and happy. Owl |

Oh Diana, I need a case of Kleenex. I have so many who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Maybe one or more is with you Daisy. I hope so. Tearful Hugs, Marcia |

Oh, Marcia. They all will be. I have other babies who went before Flicka, Tigger and Daisy, but it was Flicka who taught me to communicate with him and then Daisy and then Tigger (longish story) and I know they (all yours and all mine and all of everyone's) are all together and my three and perhaps others welcome the animal and animally people newcomers and introduce them to everyone when they arrive. Thank you for your response and thank you for loving your animals so much. Owl |
