Mira, 7yr old Husky - Cushings ruled out; liver cancer (Mira has passed)

A Dogs Message from Heaven

I am sending you this message as I can see you are still having struggles with coping each day since my passing.

You may walk in darkness and your heart is broken with my absence. I haven't left you as you hold me in your heart. Please don't be sad as the light will come shinning through for you. For each day of sunshine, think of it as reminder of me beaming down on you. Be happy that I am no longer in pain from sickness or injury. I don't want you grieving for me for long as it makes me sad to see you in so much hurt. Don't dwell on the guilt you feel for making decisions we both know you had to do and I thank you for releasing me of my sickness.

Cry if you need to miss me if you must, but don't worry about me, I'm in a place I love.

Yesterday I talked with the Creator and he said you'd come one day. I wanted you to know this. So you see I'm happy and I am free. There's nothing to worry me. Dry your eyes and make plans to see me again. I will look for you and when you get here, you will see what a wonderful place this is.

Let me tell you what it's like here in this wonderful place. There are no clouds or dreary rain…Just lot of blue sky and sunshine casted on us from His most gracious presence. There are miles of green grassy fields and meadows of beautiful flowers.

There are no cruel humans to hurt us, just the keepers who have been specially chosen to care for us...

We all get along here large and small. Some of us had a pretty rough life while others were very spoiled. We run and play tag or chase balls. We can be lazy as we want and take long naps. The Creator checks on us each day.

I have met many of your friend’s fur kids here.

It's been neat to see my brothers and sisters again that came here before me. There is never a sad moment. Just so much to keep busy....We get a lot of new kids arriving daily and is fun to show them the ropes here.

We are here waiting here for you when your purpose on Earth is complete. My wish for you is to be happy for me and not sad. It will be the most happiest of reunions and I will lick away all your tears. There will be nothing but good times for ever and ever.

I will let you feel my presence if you will just have faith and allow it to happen.

When the time is right and it will come, I want you to take in another fur kid to care for just as you cared for me and protected me from all harm and gave me the security that I needed all those years. They deserve the life I had with you. Don't think of it as replacing me but giving another the love you have inside you to bring joy to another. I felt honored to a part of your life and you gave me so much of yourself.... That will always be special.

You were my life and I will always love you for that.

I am not that far away and I will be close to you in spirit and will remain in your heart. That is the bond that connects us. Do not think of me when I was at my worst but all the great memories we shared together. I hate to see you cry. I am happy here so be glad for me.

I want to be remembered for all the silly things I did and things we did together. We had some great times together.... So cherish those memories.

So my best friend, until your task on Earth is finished, take care of yourself and help another less fortunate kid to know the love I shared with you and you will be forever rewarded. You will know when the time is right.

Love you Forever,
Your 4 legged soul-mate.

Awe Leslie, it is always nice to hear from you too! I guess in a nut shell one could say "there is good in all things". They sure can be hard to find sometimes. If not for Mira, we would not have Neeka. But I still tell God that that was not a good enough reason to take Mira that way. But never the less, we love Neeka.

I went to the dentist the other day. A root canal you know. He gave me Valium and nitrous oxide and told me bring my favorite music to lessen to. Well those songs are all the ones I was listening to before Mira got sick and after she died. Normally I'm fine with them. Tears started to fall right away and when it came to the song I used for my "Once there was Kira and Mira" video the dentist stopped cus I was shaking. I said this song is too sad. He let me change it. I'm still glad thou, I'm used to the mental pain, physical pain not so much.

I need to comment on Kiras thread soon. We have two general doctor visits this month. I'll wait until then to offer my thoughts on her.

Oh Mira... You've weighed so heavy on my mind the last several days. Your little niece Neeka is so beautiful and smart. I'm so glad to have her. And so sad you had to go the way you did.

It was a year ago the tragedy began. I've already begun many tearful days. I've lost many dogs I loved no less. But this one was just not fair. I look at that x-ray and I see what looks the insides of a very healthy dog. Clear and strong. Except for this huge white spot right beside her heart that should not be there. I remember feeling like I was going to throw up when I saw it. Poor Mira. So unfair.

Our Kira is not doing overly well. Not well at all. Like Mira there is nothing solid to pin a problem to. Like Mira, minor things are being explained away. I fed her steak tonight. If we are loosing her I want spoil her now. She was in the kitchen shaking tonight because the smoke alarm was going off. She continues to loose weight since her Cushings operation ten months ago. From 68 pound to 53 now. My sweety Kira. 11 year old Siberian Husky.

The little green clock strikes again...

For 7 months now my little green clock has worked faithfully. I had almost forgotten what it once did.

Thanksgiving is the last sort of good day I had with Mira. The day she told me I was more important then the bushes.

Today is Nov 24th, it's thanksgiving. Earily this day at a little after midnight my little green clock did it's thing again. Flashing between digital numbers that are half missing. Again I am stunned. why now? why at this very moment?

But it does not end there. For the next several days it continues with it's odd flashing of unreadable numbers. Back and forth, from the date and time.

Today is Nov 27th 2011. My Mira died one year ago on this date. On Nov 27th 2010. At a few minutes after midnight my little green clock started working perfectly again. Flashing 11 27. I can hardly breath!

This is the forth time now. It only falters on dates relivant to my Mira.
My Mira, my little green clock.

The angels are out there... I hope they take care of my friend Stormee (aka: Skye). I'm not sure if I'm here for her, or her for me...

Dear Janis,

I just read your reply on Skye's thread, and came rushing back here. Because I had intended to post a reply to you right at the moment that I first read again about your little green clock last week -- but then I got distracted and was tardy in returning! :o

Probably part of my delay was also because it is so hard to find words to express the wonder of events and feelings for which there are no "rational" explanations. But I was (and am) so touched by your enduring love for your Mira and by the comfort that comes from the mysterious antics of your little green clock :o.

I do believe that love never dies, and that the spirits of those we love are never far from us. I hope that the magical messages from your little clock will continue to bring you comfort, Janis, and precious memories of your pretty Mira.

Always in loving memory of your sweet girl,
Marianne

Hi Sweetie,

I've tried several times to send you an email and come here to post...but every time I end up crying too hard to write.

Your little green clock, to my mind, is tied to those you loved so deeply on this side of The Bridge. On one hand it is a time keeper in the physical plane but on the other hand it is a reminder from the other plane. A reminder to you that you are not forgotten over there, that you are still oh so very loved and missed just as much as you still love and miss them. It is a reminder that the Crossing isn't the end, it is just another beginning. It's a reminder that nothing of the good in our lives is lost in the Crossing, that all our love goes with us to be continued through all Time. It is a reminder that the pain and grief you feel at this time will one day be left behind to be replaced with everlasting joy as you Cross over. It is a reminder that you are never, ever alone on this side.

You are blessed, Janis, and in return you have blessed others through your loss and pain. I have no doubt that every time you reached out to Stormee or anyone else, Mira's tail was wagging furiously with such great pride in her Mom.

Many hugs, dear one, many hugs,
Leslie

I read Mira's thread tonight. I'm in process of crying myself to sleep and you chimed in. It still hurts so much when I think about it. And I know why you cry Leslie too. It will never go away. It was just too unfair. Thank you for your kind words. And reading about my clock. Ohhh

"I'm drowning here please, anyone. I don't think I can, save myself."
Just lyrics.

Love you Mira...

I know... I changed the picture and put Kira in your place. It was hard to do. I don't feel any less for you, I hurt for you everyday. But at least I can say you were my number one girl for awhile. I'm just so sad you never knew it. I'm so sorry Mira. I can't put Neeka behind Kira, not after what happened to you. Not when I see Neekas little face look at me so sad, just like yours always did.
