Hi, Jaycee. Thank you.
Yes, Sissy found a very loving home.

Have a Wonderful Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[Mama_Bear]

Yes, that is our sweet "Sissy"....Chachi's 'forever sister'. She is a very special little girl and God brought her to us for a very special reason.

For those who may not know the story, last May our veterinarian found this little lost girl wandering near his home out in the country. My mother had recently lost her beloved 14 year old silky terrier and our vet, after checking around to see if anyone had reported a lost dog, and wanting to help fill the empty space in her heart, called and asked my mom if she would take this little stray and give her a home. She, of course, couldn't say "no" to this precious little dog. She brought her home and immediately bonded with her.

On May 14th Sissy came into our lives and she and Chachi instantly became best friends. My mother spent the next several weeks pampering, cuddling and nurturing her, until she suddenly passed away on July 4th.

This was the last photo taken of my mom on May 24th, two days after her 80th birthday and six weeks before God called her Home. I miss her terribly, but I am not sad. It makes me smile and gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that my mother is now at Rainbow Bridge, joyfully reunited with all of her beloved pets who were waiting for her arrival. :-)

Sissy will forever have a loving home here with us and she will forever be a reminder of my mother's life-long love of all creatures great and small.

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Hi Amy, Your graphic is so sweet. Yes, that Sissy is a rotten kid! She’s darling.

[Mama_Bear]

Paris the wonder dog! How CUTE she is!!

[jaycee]

Now you went and made me cry again. Its a precious story but heart-wrenching. We can only say “she will have no more worries” in that wonderful place.

((((( Lori )))))

Great picture of your Mom and Sissy. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Sissy is a lucky little girl and I know that Chachi adores her.

[Mama_Bear]

We can only say “she will have no more worries” in that wonderful place.

This is true! And this gives me great comfort. Thank you, friend. :-)

Oh, thank you for posting that picture of your Mom, Lori. I had not seen a picture of her. I think you favor her. A beautiful lady. Love the picture of Sissy too.

Bit news from here. Walter (BIL) went to the hospital this morning to have a defib installed. During the procedure he stopped breathing. They got a breathing tube down him and got him back. He seems to be recovering, but it gave us quite a scare.

[JustAmy]

Praying for Walter, Nan.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Amy. I hope my post doesn’t make anyone sad. That wasn’t my intention. I am feeling joyful today. I do miss my mother terribly, I wish I had more years with her, but my faith sustains me and I am truly happy. God is in his Heaven and all is well. :-)

[WVNan]

I’m so glad you are feeling joyful today. That makes me fell that way too. ((((LOri)))))

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, GeeBee.
Sorry I'm getting your ping answered so late.
I had to shut down my browser ... hope it stays stable the rest of today.

Hope your Wednesday is Warm and Fuzzy.

[WVNan]

Thank you Amy. We pray that he will recover without further incident. Poor guy; nothing is ever easy for him. He has had more lousy luck than any person I know, and he such a sweet guy; not like his brother (the grouch) hubby. Just kidding.
