    Yes Addy, he should definitely be at the top.

    Love and miss our beach loving, chat chasing, hole digging, muck rolling, man about town. Our "All Blacks" team mascot. Flynny boy!!!

    I think the rainbow bridge needs a new system. It should be like a fabulous spa with all the pampering and amenities. They should be able to stay for a couple of days drinking the elixir of life and rejuvenating, then sent back to their families here on earth for many more joyous and healthy years together. It should be their choice to stay or return.

    Big hugs Trish. Pleae let us know what's happening with your dad,
    oooxxx

    Thanks girls, always cheers me up reading your notes. Well it is not infection, ortho specialist thinks that's a red herring. He thinks it was a bleed perhaps caused by changing his anticoagulants to clopidogrel. So that's good news,but it would be nice to know what is caused it worries me that if it was a bleed we have him on more heavy duty anticoagulants now because of the clot which perhaps could cause further bleeding, but we have appointment soon to see vascular surgeon where hopefully we will get more info and some answers but for now he seems stable. It was Mum and Das 58th wedding anniversary today, they took themselves out to a fancy lunch at a winery, so how lucky am I to have parents in their 80s still able to do that! Very lucky indeed

    We are trucking along, life at work has been busy and I had to go out of town for a meeting last weekend and my niece came with me which was lovely. But everything still has a feeling of being all wrong, especially when I get home at night, you have left a big big hole Flynnikin, missing him heaps xx xxx

    I would say having parents in their 80s dining at a winery for their 58th anniversary is a pretty awesome thing. It sounds like your dad has a bit better diagnosis and hopefully the vascular surgeon will help.

    You have had so much thrown at you, Trish, losing Flynn and then going straight to worried sick about your dad with no Flynny boy for moral support.

    I wish I could fly to visit you, we could spend the week, looking at pictures, downing girly drinks and remembering when.

    Ah, big sigh

    It is totally awesome! I hope that means your dad is feeling better too.

    I'd fly with you Addy. LOL Girly drinks and girl talk, sound like just the thing!

    Ah, sounds like a great party would be in store for us all!

    Trish, very glad to hear that infection has been ruled out for your dad but I know you're still anxious to track down the actual cause. Hoping for the best for him, and for many more fancy lunches and anniversary celebrations for your parents.

    Thank you for stopping off on my thread once again. Everything you said there was so true and so meaningful for me, too. We are kind of doing the same -- carrying on with life, but sort of at an odd tilt. As you said above, so much just feels wrong. I just gave Luna her first bath since we lost Peg, and things felt both the same and different all at the same time. Luna gets so excited jumping out of the tub and running down the stairs to head outside to shake off that we were having to be very careful about keeping Peg out of the way so that she wouldn't get knocked down and hurt in the process. Well, there was no worry about that happening today, but I certainly would have wished the worry back if only I could.

    I know we'll all keep mucking along. But it helps so much to have everybody here right alongside us. Thinking of you and the kittens every day!

    Dear Trish....just now learning about our oh-so-special Flynny Boy. What a trooper he was! Such an inspiration for so many over the years. He will be missed here by all who ever had the chance to meet him and I have no doubt that is true everywhere he ever went.

    I hope your heart is starting to heal and the precious memories you hold are able to bring a smile to your face at times in spite of the tears. Flynn is in some great company these days and I am quite sure the Rainbow Fields have really come alive since he arrived. So many precious babies to welcome him and help keep him busy til your time here is done and you are together again. And we will all be with our babies again - of this I am positive! Til then, we live our lives, always honoring these precious ones who touched our Souls so very deeply.

    Our deepest sympathies,
    Leslie, Trinket, Brick, Sophie, Fox, and all our angels

    Dogs Never Die
    Ernest Montague

    "Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to ‘death’, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.

    Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say: ‘No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.’ Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.

    It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacophonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone (exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.

    However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.

    When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: ‘Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.’

    When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)

    Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.

    But don’t get fooled. They are not ‘dead.’ There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.

    I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so much. Excuse me, I have to go cry now.”
    "May you know that absence is full of tender presence and that nothing is ever lost or forgotten." John O'Donahue, "Eternal Echoes"

    Death is not a changing of worlds as most imagine, as much as the walls of this world infinitely expanding.

    You all don't want to come visit now, it's freezing! Middle of winter, frosty, snow on mountains but lovely sunny clear blue sky days this weekend. But I got good heating and spare rooms so come on down you all welcome! I'm doing ok, had a work party on Friday night so had a few girly drinks too many and got home feeling very sad Flynny was not here to greet me so mental note, no alcohol when feeling like this as makes it tons worse!

    i think that is the worst thing of all sometimes. The silence when you come home and they aren't there to greet you. To want their dinner or a walk. It's an empty hole that is just overwhelming to your emotions.

    Hmm. I think the best time to visit you is during our winter and your summer! How jealous I am to hear of your lovely warm weather when here in Canada we are freezing our tushes off. Lol.
