In memory of my sweet Shelby - Page 1

Shelby became an angel one year ago today after losing her courageous and determined fight against DM. She fought so hard, but no dog beats DM. I adopted her from a GSD rescue at 2 years of age. She had a rough start in life, but she eventually blossomed and became a therapy dog, touching the lives of many people. I still miss her terribly. She was the most loving and sweet dog I've ever had. God speed sweet girl...until we meet again.



 

Oh Starrchar...I'm sorry. This is a sad day for you.

Starrchar my heart is breaking for you and your girl.

For you

Beautiful girl, Beautiful pictures, and I'm sure many, many Beautiful memories!!!
You two were lucky to have each other!!!

Thank you so much. She was very special and yes, I have lots of wonderful memories of times spent with her. We had a bond that was so incredible. No dog will ever replace this sweet soul. It is so sad that her life was cut short by the DM....so unfair..

They are in our lives only a short time, but live in our hearts forever.

They live in our hearts until we leave this world and I have to beleive we will once again be reunited....

StarrChar, my heart hurts for you, Shelby was so beautiful & loving, DM is a horrible disease. If we could only give them one more hug, or glimpse them on the Bridge....but I know we will hold them again. Until them they stay in our hearts... jackie harris

Oh so very sad!!  I'm so sorry for your loss.

We are very sorry for your loss... I rec this yesterday from a friend.. Titled Letter from the post office..author unknown.

++++ Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month.

The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was
crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.

She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to
heaven, God would recognize her.

I told her that I thought that we could, so she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? Abbey died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I'm happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog.

I really miss her.
Love, Meredith

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey & Meredith,
addressed it to God/Heaven.

We put our return address on it.

Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.

That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.

A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand.

Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.'

Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God
in its opened envelope.

On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:

Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I
recognized her right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog.

Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to
keep your picture in so I'm sending it back to you in this little book for
you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me.

What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.

Love,
God ++++++
