Dear GinaDog...

Tonight we had to say goodbye to you.  I hope you know how much we loved you and how much you'll be missed.  I believe all dogs go to heaven, and that you'll be there waiting for us, healthy and whole and happy.  We'll miss that pointy, cold nose telling us "it's the pet the Gina time now!" and we'll miss you dragging grass clippings in.

We love you, old sweet baby girl.
Love,
Mom, Step-Mom, Dad and Step-Dad.

Dear God,

Please take care of a medium-sized shepherd mix that showed up last night.  She's a sweet old lady.  Please tell her how much we love her and how much she'll be missed.  She'll understand you better.  Please tell her we didn't let her go because we didn't want her to be with us any more, but because we didn't want her to hurt anymore.  Please...just...tell her we love her and we miss her.  And and tell the saints that really, it's "pet the Gina time now."

Thanks.
Me

Condolences. May Gina have many rabbits and squirrels to chase in the Summerland.

*snerk* She's probably found someone to pet her and give her cookies. She wasn't so much of a chaser.

This was a really moving piece and made me think of all the wonderful pets I've loved and lost throughout the years. Thanks for sharing. I really do hope the saints, or whoever, pet the Gina up there :)
She sounds like she was a wonderful dog.

Oh, trust me, she'll pester them until they pet her. She had a really COLD pointy nose that she'd poke you with until you gave up and gave her scritches.

I am so sorry. I know how much this can hurt, but sometimes all you can do is let them go. Our prayers are with you.

Thank you. I prayed the last time Gina had a problem that we'd know when to let her go, and this was that time. I'm just glad she's not hurting any more.

Thank you. She spent her last few minutes on this earth being scritched and told she was loved. We held her as she stopped breathing and really...that's not so bad a way to go.

I'm glad you had the blessing of her time with you, and I'm sorry it couldn't be longer.

It was really a blessing, too. She was a sweet, sweet puppeh, and I'm so grateful Liam brought her into my life.

Thank you. She was a good dog. I'm sure she's happy and healthy and whole now, crashed out in a good sunny spot.

Thanks for doing your best for one of God's creatures.

Sorry that your time with her on Earth had to come to an end.

Thanks. I firmly believe there are dogs in heaven and we'll see each other again. :-)

It is never easy to so goodbye, but rather see you in a bit in heaven.

Gina time was spent with many loving humans.

She'll be there, curled up in a bit of sunshine, waiting for her family. She was a good dog.

There's a Corgi named Conan waiting at the gates to show her the best spot for afternoon naps.

I am sure that Freckles and Gina are spending time telling war stories about life with John.

LOL! Probably. Or comparing notes on who got spoiled the most. John never could resist a pair of pretty brown eyes...
