Another Treasure in Heaven

I just don't believe in coincidence.  I sat with my Riley all night just two short weeks ago, waiting for morning and the vet's office to open so I could finally take Riley's suffering away.  And again, last night, I spent the night waiting for morning for the vet's office to open so I could take little Falina's suffering away.  I know I'm still in shock because that little Chihuahua has been my anchor through single motherhood, through open heart surgery, through my father's passing, through a tearing apart of my family, through my son's delinquency...  Life's been hard, but Falina was always there to be held, to be nuzzled and her softness and warmth always made my world right again.

 

What I truly don't understand is how both my Godsend Riley and my anchor Falina died of the exact same thing - a ruptured uterus - just two weeks apart, nearly to the hour and minute.  Where is the meaning?  For surely there must be meaning in this. 

 

If the measure of one's grief is also the measure of one's love, then the world should know that my girls were not just loved, but treasured and honored, and as cherished as flesh and blood children to me.  I will try to go on without Falina's soft little body in the crook of my arm each night, without that stinky breath in my face for kisses, and without that little hopping-up-and-down thing she would do when she wanted to be picked up, but I tell you...it will be a joyous day when MY turn finally comes to cross "the bridge" and I will see all my little treasures once again.

Really there are no words for this but I do remember well.

I'm sorry for your losses, it was the same with my first dog Abby. For 17 years she was always happy to see me and at times the only living thing happy to see me. I know it isn't much consolation now but it does get better, in time you will know your dogs never really leave you because they have become a part of you, in the way they have changed you. It's tough coming home to a empty house and it will take awhile but this is what comforts me when I remember the day we made that trip.  Many people say they wish they could be more like their dog/s, more patient, more caring and more in tune with nature. I believe they are, it's just a gradual change they probably never notice. In some way you are a better person because of Riley and Falina and I bet they are over the bridge happy knowing that.

 

I agree, people are entitled to whatever beliefs they wish, but me, I'm going over the rainbow bridge when my time comes.

 

Dont worry to much about meaning, more useless words I know but if we were meant to know these things then we would be dogs, or gods. What matters is you did the right thing for them. 

 

Be well, The human and Buddy

My heart goes out to you and your family! This is the third notice we have written to the family of pets who are at the Rainbow Bridge. We hold you in our hearts and prayers, and we cry with you, knowing the heartache of losing a fur-child. I would like to believe that Riley and Falina are waiting at the bridge together. My youngest son once said (on the loss of his grandfather) "mom, for us years are a long time, but for Opa, in eternity, a year is the blink of an eye; so Opa won't be sad, because as soon as he gets there and turns around we will be there." For your two babies they will only spend a short time without you, the hardest is the years we have to spend without them. Monty wants to share this poem with you.....it's another take on the Rainbow Bridge, written from the dog's perspective. Hugz, Monty and his family WAITING at the BRIDGE (A Dog’s Version of the "Rainbow Bridge") The sun is rising slowly in the east, Bringing with it the sound of bells, One of which caused my ears to perk, I run to the hill I was told to wait on, And I sit there waiting, Patiently… Anxiously… My friends sit behind me, Telling me to stop worrying, You’ll be here soon. I know the bells don’t lie, But I can’t help but worry, All around me is nature’s beauty, A beauty I have wanted to share with you. And today I will be able to. I see out of the corner of my eye, a figure, I turn to look at it. As it gets closer I can see it is you! The one I have been waiting for. I run as fast a my legs can carry me, The bridge is close before you now, Coming closer as you run towards me, In the center of the path we meet, My tail wagging so hard it hurts, Together we will… Cross the bridge into PARADISE. Welcome home! Your Friend, your Companion, Your Pet.

Claudia, I just read your blog and it brought tears to my eyes. I have loved and lost dogs, and it is always heart-wrenching. But to lose two so close together is unimaginable.  Just know that they were lucky to have your love, just as you were lucky to have theirs. In time, I'm betting you find another chihuahua who needs you. She wouldn't take Falina's place, but would find her own special place in your heart. I will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
