Lulu 11 y.o. Pom has gone over the Rainbow Bridge to meet Jojo

I'm so sorry that sweet, little Lulu has gone to the Bridge. I know how much she will be missed.

Glynda, I am so terribly sorry to hear about Lulu. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
Cindy, Alex,Bear,Milo and Otis

Dearest Glynda and Gil,

The title change wouldn't register, it just wouldn't. I came to see what Bonnie had to say and her words were not right. So I looked back at some of the other posts. None of them were right. The words would not stick and couldn't be arranged in any order that made sense. Then I realized the front of my gown was wet....some part of me had understood but the rest did not want to believe.

You and Lulu are such a huge part of our own journey. Her's was the first face I recognized, our precious poster child. The things she taught not only you but to so many of us through you can't be counted. The challenges she faced and overcame with such spirit and determination gave us cause to rejoice and hold onto hope a little tighter. Your love for Lulu guided you to become who and what you are today. I have no doubt Lulu carries incredible pride and love in her Soul for you, her one-of-a-kind Mom. Lulu not only touched and expanded that huge heart of yours, she touched many of her family here and everywhere she went, leaving an indelible mark.

Lulu will never be forgotten.

All our love,
Leslie, Squirt, Trinket, Brick, Sophie, and our Angels, Ruby, Crystal and Tasha

May you know that absence is full

Of tender presence and that

Nothing is ever lost or forgotten.

May the absences in your life be full of eternal echo.

May you sense around you the secret

Elsewhere which holds the presences

That have left your life.

May you be generous in your embrace of loss.

May the sore of your grief turn into a well

Of seamless presence.

May your compassion reach out to the ones

We never hear from and may you have

The courage to speak out for the excluded ones.

May you become the gracious

And passionate subject of your own life.

May you not disrespect your mystery

Through brittle words or false belonging.

May you be embraced by God in whom

Dawn and twilight are one and may

Your longing inhabit its deepest dreams

Within the shelter of the Great Belonging.

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND

You're giving me a special gift,
So sorrowfully endowed,
And through these last few cherished days,
Your courage makes me proud.

But really, love is knowing
When your best friend is in pain,
And understanding earthly acts
Will only be in vain.

So looking deep into your eyes,
Beyond, into your soul,
I see in you the magic, that will
Once more make me whole.

The strength that you possess,
Is why I look to you today,
To do this thing that must be done,
For it's the only way.

That strength is why I've followed you,
And chose you as my friend,
And why I've loved you all these years...
My partner 'til the end.

Please, understand just what this gift,
You're giving, means to me,
It gives me back the strength I've lost,
And all my dignity.

You take a stand on my behalf,
For that is what friends do.
And know that what you do is right,
For I believe it too.

So one last time, I breathe your scent,
And through your hand I feel,
The courage that's within you,
To now grant me this appeal.

Cut the leash that holds me here,
Dear friend, and let me run,
Once more a strong and steady dog,
My pain and struggle done.

And don't despair my passing,
For I won't be far away,
Forever here, within your heart,
And memory I'll stay.

I'll be there watching over you,
Your ever faithful friend,
And in your memories I'll run,
...a young dog once again.

Glynda:
My heart is breaking for you. I am so sorry to hear the news about your precious Lulu. You will be in our prayers tonight, may God give you strength to get thru this. Lulu is running and having fun with all the doggies who have crossed the bridge before her, she is free from this terrible disease now, God Bless her.

Glynda,

So sorry to hear about Lulu. You are in my thoughts.
