Memories of Genni
|
You started out a small black puppy who soon grew into a fine gray lady. I held you on my lap that first day and a unbreakable bond formed between us. Everyone said you were "Daddy's Girl". Each day you would sit in the window, and quiver with excitement then run to the door jumping on it, trying to get it to open quicker. No matter how awful a day it had been, your bark and love would pierce the clouds with sunshine. Far, far too soon, I was forced to send you back to God to wait for me at the Rainbow bridge. The world became a colder, darker place. Some day soon I hope I see you there, sitting on a cloud peering into the distance like old times. When you see me I hope you quiver again with excitement and run to greet me. Till then my queen play and be happy, free of pain. You have a friend there named Willy. Take care of him till his Mistress can join him. Love Always and Forever,Daddy July 2006 Sorry it took so long for me to do this, the pain was too great until now. You would have loved Nevada, with the warm sun and no rain or snow. Your still in my heart and I think of you every day. Love Daddy Love Daddy Happy Fall! It wont' be long now till Christmas. I know that while you can't be with me in body, you are always here in spirit. I remember all those Christmas Eves where you would stay with me till I put all the presents under the tree. I wish you could be here again to help me.The other 4 leggers and your brothers will be getting presents from you this year. Love, Daddy. Nov/06/06 I hope Halloween at the bridge was fun. I miss seeing you dressed up. Even though you hated it,you were a good sport. We are worried about your brother Duncan. He had a mole taken off which may be cancer. I won't know till Wednesday. I pray every day for him, and Piper and you. Love Daddy 11/08/06 Wondeful news my queen. The mole taken off is a benign cyst. Duncan is sore but he will be okay. I am so happy and I know you are too! I think of you every day, Daddy Happy Thanksgiving! I can't wait till we are celebrating the holidays together, eating turkey and running through leaves again. Remember that cat that popped out of the pile of leaves and scared the heck out of you? Won't be long! Till then, Love Always Daddy Merry Christmas to you! We had a wonderful Christmas but it was tempered by hearing that your brother Duncan is ill again. I am praying again that he gets better. I so miss you at this time of the year. January 23, 2007 I can't believe it is three years. Still seems like yesterday to me first you seemd like you had a cold, then the horrible bad news that you had cancer. My best friend Mark, who without any sort of question left work to help transport you to the vet where we sent you off to the Rainbow bridge. I am forever in your debt guys. Someday my queen we well be together again. Hope your anniversary day at the bridge was joyful. I bet you have made a lot of friends up there. You always did love to talk to other pooches. March 20,2007 Happy Spring Gen! It's getting warmer and sunnier out here. When I see a rainbow up in the sky I think of you sitting on top of it looking down, wanting to chase some birds. I know how much you hated cold and loved to lie in the sun even during the hottest part of summer. I think of you every day Gen-Gen. Till we meet again. Love Daddy 4/8/07 I hope Easter Sunday at the bridge was as joyful for you as it was here for me. It helped to remind me that all of our loved ones will someday be reunited. I took you from puppy to grave and I am a better person because of it. Genni, I will love you forever, Daddy 5-23-07Hey there Genni-girl, it is almost summer here. I came across a whole box of pictures taken when you were just a few weeks old and the first Christmas picture of you. Your birthday is only a month from now. I am going to try and get presents for all the 4 leggers. Love always. Daddy June 22,2007 Happy Birthday Genni! Thirteen years ago you came into my life and filled a void I didn't know I had till I lost you. Some days I feel cheated out of years we should have had together, some days I am just thankful for the time we did get. A candle burns in honor of your birthday so you will know you are not forgotten. Soon we meet again. Love Daddy Happy Summer. Your residency here has been renewed and shall remain here as long as there is a website. It's hot here in Vegas but I know that where you are at the bridge it is always warm and sunny just like the summer days you loved to lie out in the yard and soak up the sun. I know you talk to my buddy Two. Even though he is a cat please watch out for him. His front leg isn't too well lately. I want many more years with him. Can't stand to lose anyone else. I think of you every day Gen. December 25th 2007 MERRY CHRISTMAS my queen. Oh how I miss you at this time of year. You used to keep me company while I put presents out under the tree. In my mind I give you a gift every year. Soon I should be able to give you a gift again when we are togther. Love Daddy January 23rd 2008 How can it have been four years ago. It seems like just yesterday you were sleeping in my lap as a puppy. Fast forward to your adulthood and you still slept in my lap though you took more of it up. This is the fourth year I took your candle and remembered all the good times we had. It wasn't lit because I never want it to burn out. I still feel the pain of you leaving me like it was yesterday. If there is someone you can talk to up there put in a good word for Mary. She is having more and more problems. We may have to send her off to the bridge to play with you and William. Cindy needs her silly girl more than ever. I would never have her in pain, but whatever God can do for her I would really appreciate. Love, Daddy..always and forever. HAPPY EASTER I hope it was a joyous Easter at the Bridge. It is always my favorite time of year, even more than Christmas. I remember the grass starting to turn green, winter becoming a distant memory. However the yard would still be muddy and you would go out so neat and clean and come back filthy. Your brothers were lucky. The mud just dried up and fell off. You on the other hand had to be taken to the bathtub and washed. You always looked so sad, and no matter how warm the bathwater when you got out I had to cuddle you in a blanket because you would shivver. I would give anything to give you a hardboiled Easter Egg. I know you are happy and will always be happy. I shall be happy again when we meet at the Rainbow bridge. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE GIRL! June 22nd 2008. Wow, has it been so long? Seems like yesterday you were a small black puppy with a little silver on you huddling in my lap. You grew up, grew to love me and then had to leave. I take comfort in the fact that you will be with me once again. With each passing year I know that day gets closer. So, in my mind I am giving you a big rice and hamburger cake with 14 candles. Daddy loves you always JULY 26th 2008 It hasn't been a good day my Queen. Aunt Cindy lost her silly girl this morning. She passed away in her beloved yard with familar smells and sounds knowing that she was very well loved. I know she is with you up there at the Rainbow Bridge. Take good care of her. She doesn't hurt anymore, doesn't have siezures and isn't afraid. Play ball with her and take good care of her till I can be there to take care of you guys. She passed away in her sleep. The only thing missing was her tennis ball she loves so much. I am gonna put one up here with you. Give it to her. Mary brought so much joy and love to everyone. See you soon Genni Girl November 20th 2008. Hey there Wild Thing. How is my Gennigirl. I hope you didn't think I forgot you. Thanksgiving is almost here again and I miss you so. I don't think you ever moved away from the stove when someone was cooking. Those times were so good. Wish I could go back. December 25th Christmas was tempered by not having you there yet again. Like every year, when the packages were down by the tree ane everyone was asleep, I stood there and felt you watiing there with me like you did when you were in this world. I remembered how you would stay with me until I came to bed. I miss giving presents to you and to my boys. Love Daddy January 1st Duncan made it through the holidays! So far he is doing good. So long as the little guy is healthy and more important happy I hope he stays with us a good long time. Happy New Year to you Gennigirl With all the doom and gloom in the world, people could use the joy and happiness you brought to people just by your zest for life. Love Always Daddy February 14th So far Doodles has made it much longer than the vet thought he would. He has suprised us in the past and beaten long odds, let's pray he does this now too. I left you a valentine here at the bridge. I have the feeling that by now, Skye is there with you too. I hope he forgives me if that did happen. I failed him, like I failed you. When I took on the responsibility of your lives, I swore to protect you till your last days. I didn't do that and I am sorry. I hope when my times comes to cross over the bridge to see you, I will be greeted with wagging tails and happy barks, purrs and head rubbs, not snarls and growls, hisses and screech. I suspect it will be more the latter than former. I tried my Queen. I really did. March 21st One week ago today I got the bad news that your brother Piper was very sick. He managed to make it through till today when at five minutes after five pm he joined you there at the bridge. Knowing you my queen, you have a whole gang of friends go down and greet him. My poor Piper hasn't eaten in two days and was very dehydrated too. You know how he loved his cookies? He didn't even touch them this past week. Show him around and make him comfortable and have fun until I can join you all. May 24th My beautiful velvet puppy, I hope you and your brother are romping around like old times up there at the bridge. My heart still has a hole in it as big as the universe, and knowing that your brother will be joining you too is weighing very heavy on my mind. I can remember you all as puppys, as adolescent dogs running around like crazy learning about the world, as mature adults enjoying the pleasures of a nap in the swing on a summer's day with me. I also had to accept you were getting older, and grayer like myself but I always tried to push out of my mind that you would leave us. It is still hard after all these years not to see you in the window, shaking with excitement, barking at the door for me. It hurts as bad as the day I found out I would lose you. The thought of losing all three of you is more than I can bear. I honestly don't know what I will do after your brother Duncan is gone. My life will be empty. I do look forward to seeing you all again, and cannot wait to feel your fur and hear your joyful bark. Take care of Piper and all our 4 legged friends. December 14th. I hope you didn't think Daddy forgot you. It has been so hectic and such an awful and fantastic year. I apologize that I haven't been here sooner. However you my sweet girl have been on my mind every day. First the bad news. Duncan is now with you and Piper. He put up as courageious and valient fight as any little dog could but in the end the cancer was too strong. The thought that for the first time in more than a decade there won't be one of you around at Christmas fills my heart with sorrow.I am here in my own apartment and can possibly have my own little pet now. I wish you were here to be with me. I would spoil you so rotten. The wondeful news is that Linda your mommy will be getting a new baby girl Schanuzer to take care of. I don't know her name but I will find out. I get to spoil another schnauzer!!!!!!. I also met the most wonderful lady. Her name is Lorna and I know you and her would have it it off so fantastic. She has two cats, loves animals and would also spoil you rotten. I hope to make her my wife as soon as I can. I will always love you Genni. Christmas is almost here, and the only Christmas present I would want is that at the stroke of midnight I could just pet you one more time. I would want nothing else. December 24th Christmas Eve. This is supposed to be a magical night. I wish I could have just one tiny spec of magic tonight and see you just one more time. It was five years ago tonight we had our last Christmas with the whole gang. Tonight, up there at the Rainbow Bridge you are reunited with your brothers. I am sending you all your favorite Christmas presents. For Duncan, a nice new Yellow Tennis Ball. To Piper, a chewman he can shake and growl when his people go away. For my precious Genni I would give you all the treats you could eat tonight. I miss you so very very much. January 23rd. Six years. It can't be that long. I've thought about you every day since we had to let you go. I know you are happy and romping around with your brothers and all the friends you made at Albany Obedience club. I would imagine Chase and Duncan are playing together. Say hello to all the four leggers up there for me. Tell Mary that Aunt Cindy misses her so much. I miss you all so badly. February 18th,2010 Hey sweet little girl. Guess what!!!!! I met a wonderful lady named Lorna back in September. Well, I guess you were watching from above so I don't need to give you the details, but we're going to be married!!!!!!!!!!! I wish you could meet her, I know you two would get along so well. She is the love of my life and the person I want to be with for as long as I am on this earth. My wild thing, I wish you could be there too. I have also acquired a couple of cats with her. I miss you so. Warm sun and lots of play. Say hello to Duncan and Piper for me. March 21st 2010 Hey wild thing, my Gennigirl. I know you guys are looking down and I can bet your tials are wagging a lot because you know that I will marry Lorna this coming Thursday. I wish you guys could be there with me. You would love to be a Laughlin. The river, the ducks and birds, it would be just like back home. She is going to make me very very happy and I know you are so glad. Duncan will be barking his head off, Piper will be bouncing straight up and down, and your little butt will be wagging so hard with your tail. I love you guys and will remember you always. May 9th,2010 I miss you so much today. It.s really been a tough couple of months. I got very sick the week I got married to Lorna, then found out I will need an operation on my ear. Work is also getting to me. The only bright spot in a whole deep dark universe is Lorna. Wish I had you here to snuggle on my lap and make things just go away. Till we meet soon. November 18th 2010. Never think I have forgotten you. I've been caught up in being newly wedded to Lorna. Some days I check her back to see if she has wings hidden back there, she is an angel. I cannot imagine anyone so sweet, so loving, kind and giving. She saved my life Genni. I had nothing to live for and frankly the thought of being up there with you guys rather than here on Earth was becoming more and more appealing. God I wish you could meet her. You would love her instantly. December 25th, 2010 Another Christmas. I miss you my girl. You made the holiday so much fun. The only thing that makes it okay is knowing that you are safe and warm and not in any pain like like last saw you those years ago. The best Christmas present I can imagine is to one day be with you and see your pretty face again. January 1st 2011 Happy New Year. January has always been a lousy month for me. Too many bad things have happened this month, but I intend to try and make this month better. I can see you, Duncan and Piper standing there and wagging your tails as the New Year comes in. It will not be too many more years before we are all together again. 6/22/11 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GAL. You would be 17 today. I still remember vividly the first day with you. I so wish I could go and give you the ice creme you loved so much for your birthday. I've missed you so much. I know you never met him but Two is now up there with you. He is a little slow but is a very nice kitty. I suspect that Sky is also there. They didn't get along very well so try and keep Sky in line for me. You were always good at that. Hugs to you and to my boys Duncan and Piper. Also say hello to Mary. Her mommy misses her badly after all these years. Love Daddy. 11/8/11 Its almost Thanksgiving my queen. Vegas is cooling off and while we don't have the leaves for you romp in, there is also no snow to make you shiver and get into balls in your fur. Wish I could share my turkey one more time with you Duncan and Piper. To me you will always be in my hear, in my mind and always by my side. When my turn at crossing over comes, I know you all will be there to meet me and let me know things are okay again. I miss you so much. Love Daddy
