Welcome to Rio's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Rio

Rio, the best, most loyal friend a girl ever had! For 13 years you were there for me through every crazy boyfriend; all my ups and downs; good times and bad. We lived in 3 different cities...about 10 different apartments...you were my one constant. Always in my corner...my buddy, my friend, my protector! (Unless of course there was a thunderstorm...because you were so scared of thunder! And we both know that even though you seemed so tough if anyone wanted to rob me all they really had to do was turn on the vacuum cleaner or present a helium filled balloon and you were OUT of there since you were terrified of balloons and the sound from the vacuum!!) I already miss you and will until my last day on earth. Such a good girl... I wish that you could hang out with me forever...but I couldn't make you better...so had to make the hardest decision in my life, letting you go. I hope you understand and forgive me...I will look for you at Rainbow bridge when the time comes. Love always! Update 2/9/07 - I can't believe you've been gone a MONTH. I still miss you so much. Yesterday I noticed that some of the people in the building got notices on their doors...but I didn't get one. So, of course being nosey... I read it...and it was basically a note from the super saying that no one should bring dogs down to the laundry room. It hit me like a ton of bricks that I didn't get the note...because you're gone. I come to the door and put the key in still expecting to hear your feet on the hardwood floor scrambling to get up...or the deep WOOOO WOOO WOOO that you gave me when particularly happy to see me (which scared everyone else to DEATH b/c they thought you were growling). I miss you boogie butt! I hope you're having fun at Rainbow bridge. 4/5- It's been almost 4 months...someone asked me about you the other day...they said where's rio...it's been so long since I've seen her. I was so sad to say that you were gone. The permanence of death is so mind bending. I hope you're having fun running around w/all your friends in the meadow...but keep a place in your heart for me! June 15 - Hi RIO!!! Are you having fun at Rainbow bridge? This is going to sound weird...but I picked up your urn the other day and it felt warm! Freaked me out...then I started to think of it as your way of telling me you're still around! I really miss you, still. I can talk about you (usually) without getting all choked up now. Mostly remembering the good times and the funny things you used to do! My birthday is Monday...I won't have you to split whatever my sinfully delicious b-day treat will be. Probably a large order of fries from Brother Jimmys! I know how much you LOVED french fries! Anyway sweetpea, just want you to know you're not forgotten! Besos! June 4, 2009 - Hey Rio! Think about you all the time. I'm starting to think about getting a new dog now, but the new puppy will have so much to live up to! Everytime I get close to deciding I realize that I'm trying to get a new YOU. You were so good and trustworthy and calm. I never had to worry about whether or not you'd tear up my apartment. You only barked when you were protecting us or had something profound to share, you were affectionate. You were the PERFECT girl! I hope you're having fun...but know you're in my heart always! I think of you and smile. Even when the new puppy gets here...you'll always be my number one girl! xoxo!
