Roo Reports from across the Rainbow Bridge

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Roo here.  I have been very tired so haven't reported much lately.  The last I remember I was laying on the floor and my mom was petting my head -love that - well love any attention really.  I was very very sleepy.

When I woke up I felt great, like a young pup again, but smarter.  I can't find Mom or Dad or Tigger, but there are lots of other dogs and grass  and trees and smells.  Oh the smells.....  This must be a very big dog park.  No people though - weird. 

Here comes Storm.  Wow!  Haven't seen her for awhile.  Storm, I knew from home, when I was really young.  I sort of remember her going to sleep with Mom's hand on her.  Storm was very old and sometimes crabby then, but she still would get up occasionally from her bed and let me play with her.  I remember that Mom told me she was off limits if she was in bed.

Storm just play bowed and took off running - I gotta go!

I'm back again, and I feel great, not even breathing hard..  I never have really understood that game, but all the other Huskies I know like it too.   Now she is explaining that if I were to go down any of the paths that smelled like human, I would find the people.  She said Mom and Dad weren't here yet though.  There is so much to smell here and lots of dogs to make friends with.  Plus people! People love me and I love people.  So much to check out !  You may not hear from me for awhile again. 

Hey, Mom, Dad, just to let you know, I feel so good again.  Try to let me know when you get here, because I am going to be busy making friends. 

Roo, signing off from across the rainbow bridge.

I am so very sorry for your loss.   My beloved Paz passed away at the age of 6 from lymphoma in May 2016; my heart was broken and I never thought I could love another dog the way I loved Paz.  In November 2016, I opened my heart to an australian labradoodle puppy named Atticus, who has helped me heal and whom I love with all my heart.  I'm confident that Roo and Paz are romping together, because as we know, all dogs go to heaven where they are free from any pain or suffering.

So so sorry Maryann, may peace be with you and your family.

[Laurie, Wally & Charlotte]

Oh, Maryann, this makes me so very sad. Those we love the most, we miss the most. It seems like a significantly large number of our dogs have been either sick lately or have passed away. But then we read about new puppies joining families, so I guess it's the circle of life -- though that doesn't make it any easier, does it? My heart breaks for you, even though Roo sounds pretty happy up there. 

[DonMarie and Picco]

Glad to hear you are feeling well Roo.  What a strange place you are in.  At least you have playmates to keep you occupied till the day you see mom and dad again.  I bet they really miss you and think about you all the time, and I feel really sad for them.

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

I am so sorry that Roo is gone, Maryann.  Your tribute to him is lovely. 

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Maryann, I'm so sorry that you lost Roo.  Sending hugs and hoping that your special memories of sweet Roo will help you through this really difficult time.

[Andrea, Belle and Honey]

Maryann, I'm so sorry to hear that Roo's heart has given out. As with my lab Ellie, the meds can only do so much then our furbabies have to go peacefully on their way.  Hugs to you.

[Carolyn Shusterman]

Our hearts go out to you and Roo's family.  All Roo's Doodle friends at S. CA Romps will miss him.  What a brave and beautiful letter from Roo.   

[Stacy]

I'm so sorry. It's terribly hard to say goodbye, even when we know they're in a happy place.

[Deanna & Desi & Cori]

So sorry to hear this. Losing our loved pets is so hard, but it does help to think of them running young and free!
