Hi sweet Dottie, you and your angel Alex are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are getting all of our messages. We sure do miss you and hope you come back. I Have been really down and sure could use a angel or a little poem sent my way from you. You always seem to know just when to send one.

Please take care
Sending you cyber hugs

Anna and My Angel Max

Hope you are managing to keep warm Dottie, I'm not familiar with your Florida weather, but I know a lot of people have been freezing up there in the Northern Hemisphere. Still thinking of you and your angels and hope to see you back with us soon. Hugs xx

Madi--

I assume you live in Australia? Where? I've been there three times, and it's my favorite continent, and culture, on earth. I'd love to live there.

Dottie--we still miss you. Lots has been going on since you left us here, Dottie-less. Please come back, Angel Care One!!

XXOO--

Margi and the Wolf

I live in South Australia Margi, not far from Adelaide on a small farming property with my husband, a herd of cows, three dogs and a cat. Look me up if you are ever this way again. By the way, my daughter loves the US, she has been there twice, once alone and once with her children. Her children were only there for two weeks, but they came back with a really good grasp of the American accent.

madi xx

Thinking of you Dottie...hope you, Buddy Dog, and Styx Kitty are staying warm, it's been brutally cold here too.

Hugs to you and your angel Alex,
Sonya

Hugs Jan and my Angels xx

Come on Dottie, we are barely hanging on here without you, miss you heaps. It will be a day of rejoicing when you come back to us xx

Luv madi xx

Dearest Anna, Jan, Madi, Margi, Sonya, Beth, Sissycat, Eva (aka katzen11 and Jimmy Klinger 'old catboy' and Felix von Hollabrunn 'mad babycatboy') ... To all of you ... This morning is the first time I've turned on my computer since my last post here at LS. I cannot possibly begin to express with mere words my utmost gratitude to each of you for showing such deep concern, how very much you care, your great support, compassion and for all your prayers. Honestly, I don't know the last time I felt this touched. Word. Please accept my deepest apologies for worrying you, for not at least getting some word here letting you know I'm alive and breathing. Mostly, I'm sorry that I am allowing my own problems to stand in the way of me being here for those who could really use some comfort, encouragement or at least a smile which I greatly wish to offer.

The simple fact is that this is a very scary, sad and pretty much gosh awful time for me and ... Well, I could say more about that, however you all know by now that I cannot bear to be pitied in any way, shape nor form. Suffice it to say that there's a whole bunch happening which concerns my health, finances, more lost loved ones and yada, yada, yada. Hey, we've all been there. It's just especially a hard hit due to the combination and all at once.

I hope and pray that most of my dilemmas will be resolved by the end of this March or April and promise to do my best to at least drop by and say hello occasionally until stuff gets better ... Dang. Would youze guyze believe that I began this post at about 3:30 this morning EST? It's true. As usual, I find it a whole lot easier to express myself using images, songs, poems and the like ... So, I selected these images and this song to show my huge appreciation for your outpour of concern, thoughtfulness and kindness as well as to describe my feelings at this time. I pray it will bring each of you comfort, faith, hope, encouragement as well as the courage and strength to persevere regarding your own personal pain, grief and struggles.

Please turn up your volume and click on the link below.





Many Blessings, Big Hugs and Winging a Multitude of Loving Angels Your Way!!!

I Wish You Peace!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Hello again everyone. Thank you so very much for your dear messages to me. You know who youze guyze are. It truly means the world. Bless you most abundantly!

I'm not quite ready to chat yet, but am trying. Unfortunately, I was just witness to an act of animal cruelty. Now, hang on a moment ... The good news is that the animal was not harmed and the effects are most likely temporary.

It appears obvious to me that whomever committed this act considers it as merely a harmless, hysterically hilarious prank. Well, I beg to differ. The incident was caught on film which includes a statement made by the animal who was victimized.

So, does this act constitute animal cruelty or was it just a funny prank? You be the judge.

Yee-Hah, DOTTIE'S BACK!!!!!!

I was SO excited when I saw that you had posted, AngelCareOne! Obviously, you have been sorely missed around here. At least we did find out that you were alive, so didn't worry as much as we did in the beginning of your "disappearance..."

I know all too well what it's like to get blindsided all at once by an overwhelming amount of grief and difficulty. I lost everything and everyone some years ago...I won't bother with details, but I didn't know how I could survive, and I have, which you shall. My heart is with you.

I haven't much time to post today, so I'll thank you for that beautiful song from Mylie Cyrus--it's really inspirational, and say hello and bye bye for now, and let everyone else too go into their paroxysms of joy over having you back--finally!!

Big big hugs--

Margi and Ladywolf

Well lovely lady, you might have taken a bit of a battering lately, but your glorious sense on humour is still shining through. God bless you Dottie. Besides, I was getting sick of being the only warped person on here.

madi xx

Hello again, Dear Friends. Thank you oodles and boodles Margi and Madi. Thanks so very much also to everyone else who has emailed me, sent messages and cards. I'm still catching up on my emails and messages here. Hi there Jan, Anna and Sonya. Great big {{{{{Hugs}}}}} to all of you, your Angel Fur Kids and God Bless!

I'm checking in to let you know I'm still alive, breathing and trying my level best to recover so that I may find my voice again real soon because I want so badly to respond to many of you who have posted and are in such gawd awful pain, sorrow, loneliness and feeling terribly devastated. Truly, I know how you're feeling and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you as well as my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your most cherished, beloved Fur Babies. Winging many loving Angels your way to soothe and gently guide you through what must be just about the most difficult time in your lives. Tons Cyber of Hugs!

Once again and as always, I do express myself far better when using images, songs, poems and the like. So, this is how I'm trying to feel as I Wish the very same kind of Peace to everyone here ...







This is how I'm actually feeling on the inside as I'll bet my bottom dollar a whole bunch of you are also feeling so you're able to relate ...







Please, please, please hang in there youze guyze ...






Please keep coming back to talk as often as you're able at any time day or night. Believe me, it helps so much to express your feelings and talk about your Rainbow Bridge Babies with like minded people which you most certainly will find here at LS. Remember to take baby steps and be kind to you. You're all wonderful Fur Kid Parents! Please, never forget that. And, as I keep reminding everyone: It's by caring and sharing that we help each other get through our pain and find that Healing Path. So, once again, please keep coming back to vent as much as you're able and whenever you're up to it.

This next part is for my precious baby boy Alex because I know how much he loves his pictures, especially when they glow, glitter and are animated ...

Hi, Sweet Alex! Keep having fun at The Rainbow Bridge. I brought a dancing partner for you because I know how much you love to dance and were such great pals with Cocoa kitty before he passed away several years before you. Oh, I'm sure Cocoa is there with you now though, so get down with your bad selves my boogie-oogie-oogie babies!







I Love You and Miss You So Much!!!

Many Comforting Hugs to Everybody and Your Angel Fur Kids!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Great kitty pics Dottie, love them. It's so good to see you 'posting' again.
We've got our Dear AngelCareOne back and with the humour we all need to make us smile again.
Anna would be so pleased to see you back, but she seems to have vanished , just hope all is ok with her.

Love and hugs

Jan and my Angels x

Oh Dottie, where do you find them? Those kitty pictures are so funny. They keep my grand kids amused also and I am ever so grateful for any contribution, in that area. Hugs xx


madi xx

Thanks for coming back, Dottie, with your luscious good humor--we've really needed you. We'll understand if you can't post a lot more right now--just keep us posted, please. I may be off the grid myself for a few days now while my computer is in Intensive Care (it has a not-quite-fatal virus--I'm writing from a different PC right now.)

Big hugs and many blessings--

Margi and her Wolf

Hi Jan, Madi and Margi. I got here as soon as my paws would carry me ...





Please pardon me as I am quite upset because this blasted seagull keeps stealing my Tangy Cheese Flavored Doritos whenever I reach for the best package on the shelf at the corner store. It's becoming very annoying. I wouldn't mind Sammy Seagull stealing another bag, but he always snatches the best one just as I reach for it ...



Then, when he's confronted about his life of crime, Sammy clams up and takes off ...

Please Click Here: "Thieving Seagull!"

Madi, you ask where I find all this stuff? Well, I'm pretty much a google wizard and don't give up until I find what I'm looking for. Also, I've seen lots and lots of these images over the years and have practically total recall so know what I want to find. As for the whacked out manic cat, I got that in email almost two years ago and went in search to find that image. There's a bunch more to it and I know that you and your grand kids will be very amused. Jan and Margi, you'll love it, too. Oh, I do wish Anna were here. I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's a riot! Enjoy!

Please Click Here: "6 Phases of Work Explained with Cat Pics"

However, I never saw the following before today when my friend Debbie sent it to me in email. Madi, you and your grand kids will love it and I know Jan and Margi will get a big kick out of it, too. I've watched it at least 50 times so far and can't get enough. Cute as a little shoe button and funny as all get out, too. Here is your 17 seconds "Moment of Awww!"

Please Click Here: "Surprised Kitten!"

Big Hugs to You and all Your Angel Fur and Feather Kids!



God Bless You Most Abundantly Each and Everyone!



Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

I just can't stop watching that seagull clip. The way it walks in, casts a quick eye down the isle, makes a bee line for the shelf then pinches the packet just amazes me.. Really knows it's struff that one, a real pro!!

madi xxke

Hi, Madi! Yes, it is hilarious. Since you're so fascinated, amazed and can't get enough of the clip, here is a close up taken by the store's surveillance camera so you can see it even better. It's only 26 seconds, but far more clear. I can't get enough of it either. LOL. I hope your grand kids love it, too. Jan, Margi and Anna, this is for you and everyone here at LS, too. Please click below. Enjoy!

Sammy Seagull Thief Up Close and Personal!

On another note, I have a great love of elephants and wish to share with all of you an unbelievably astonishing clip of a real live elephant using its trunk to paint a self portrait. That's right, a self portrait! This pachyderm was not trained, but paints what its inner eye sees, perceives, feels so expresses itself ... More proof that these gentle giants are cognizant, sentient beings who appreciate beauty and are capable of genuine love of self and others.

The clip is 8 minutes and 29 seconds long, but so worth it! Here's a preview.



This goes out to my precious baby boy Alex too because I know he would have loved it and appreciated such inspiration. And, that elephant's painting is so very beautiful. I Love You and Miss You So Much, Sweet Alex! Enjoy your pretty pictures. Okay? Okay!

Please turn up your volume and click on the link below.

Precious Pachyderm Paints Self Portrait!

Several elephants throughout the world paint everything from beautiful flowers, gardens and scenery to abstract art even utilizing pointillism. I have several clips of different elephants as they paint very lovely pictures and one even paints "Happy New Year" and I kid you not. For those who are unable to view videos, please click on the links below to view several amazing paintings done by elephants. Most of the photos depict the elephant in the process of painting and a few show the finished painting only. The first two photograph links are a different elephant self portrait and not the one I posted above.

Lookie at these, my darling Alex. Ain't they awesome? Enjoy!

Thank you so much, Sweet Sonya.

Big Hugs to you and your Angel fur kid Brutus, too!

Dottie xoxoxox

Hi Dottie, sending hugs to you and Alex, you are both always in my thoughts xx

madi xx

Wow Dottie - I just read through your entire thread -- I am so ticked off at what happened to Alex -- it's bad enough that our beloved pets get sick and die, but for someone to deliberately take them from us is beyond words! These people aren't fit for civilization! My heart goes out to you. I hope I'm not bringing up bad stuff here that you've put behind you -- but I just wanted you to know that you're in my thoughts.
Sharon

Hi Dearest Dottie and Sweet Alex

I am soooo happy to see you back and so happy to be back myself. Dottie this place certainly hasnt been the same since you were gone. I tried to learn how to send some things to other people here who needed a little cheering up but I could never compare to what you do.

So Happy to have you back
Anna and my Angel Max

HI MOMMY I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU


Hi Dear Sweet Dottie,
I am sending you your Valentines card a day early from your sweet angel Alex. I may not be here on Sunday and with my mom I never know when I have to leave. I hope you have a wonderful day. Will be thinking of you

BIG HUGS
Anna
xoxox

I hope you are going ok Dottie, haven't seen you around for ages. Think of you and Alex often and also send my love to Styx and Buddy xx

madi xx

We're all missing you again Dottie, the forum seems lost without you. Hoping you are ok and thinking of you and your Alex, Styx and Buddy.

Love Jan and Pixie and my Angels Tasha, Noushka and Sooty xx

Hi Dottie...I've been away for a while too because sometimes it just seems easier for me. I hope you are doing ok...and Styx and Buddy are well.

Thining of you and Alex,
Hugs,
Brutus' Mom

Ladywolf and I are missing you too, Dottie. By now I've come to realize, though, that you just have to take time off from this Forum periodically, and I've come to understand why, based on my own experience of hanging out here. It's just too painful sometimes, especially when we have a lot of other disturbances going on in our lives.

Please come back, though--we all really miss you!!!!!!!!!

Big big hugs--

Margi and the Wolf

Dottie...I hope you are doing ok...I am thinking of you, Styx Kitty, and Buddy. I don't post on here much anymore. I do check the forum frequently though. I use to be able to say the right things to everyone (at least I hope so), now I just don't have the words or energy...I don't know why. I feel bad that I haven't responded to others posts, but I do read almost every one and I think you do to. I miss talking with you all on here everyday, but I think in some ways it is good for me to not. I had a really upsetting dream about Brutus about a week ago...don't know if it's even one I want to share. I know it's related to guilt. Anyhow, just wanted to drop you a line.

Hugs to you and your feather angel Alex,
Brutus' Mom

Thank you so very much Madi, Anna, Jan, Sonya and Margi. Please forgive my absence. I have not been able to face coming here for these past many weeks. All of you wonderful Fur Kid Mommies and Daddies, old and new members who are posting ... So many in such gawd awful pain, grief and anguish ... It is palpable! I am so very sorry for everyone's losses. God bless you and all your Angel Fur and Feather Babies. I wish you Peace.

As for me, Margi hit the nail on the head. It's been two and one half years since I lost my most cherished Feather Child Alex and tears are welling in my eyes as I try to type this message. I'm sure I'll start bawling at any moment now. Anyway, one would think it would be so much easier to bear after 2 and 1/2 years. Well, it isn't. The pain, grief, guilt, devastation, shattered world! Having rescued this little Green Cheek Conure at the end of September 2009 has not helped at all. I honest to gosh do not resent this bird and I'm very good to him. I'll talk more about Percy later. Back to where I was ...

It's never ever been anything at all like this for me with any other loved ones be they human or fur or feather kids. I admit that losing my Mom under those circumstances was hell for several years, but I improved, got better and am okay now. The others were far easier on me than my loss of Alex which includes the loss of my Dad, sister, one brother who has been missing several years and presumed dead, two husbands, 2 best friends and another dear friend who is currently in the process of dying, others ... More fur and feather kids than I even want to think about. Dead and ...

I loved them all so much! Mind, heart and soul. You bet I cried, grieved, and so on for each and everyone ... Then I was okay. Some took longer than others. With the exception of my Mom, all took less than a year to the best of my recollection. Then came the fond memories. Not with Alex though. Au contraire, mes amis. Oy vey!

Perhaps one reason that it's taking so much time is that I've finally accepted the fact that I'll never see him again. There were all my hopes and dreams that he had been sold or given away and that I'd get him back. Well, that ain't gonna happen. Never. You can take that to the bank ...

What is eating the hell out of me is ... Ut oh. Oh no. Crying. Bawling. Need to pause. Blood pressure rising. I hear it pounding in my right ear. Heart racing. Face turning red ... Taking deep breaths to continue because I have freaking gotta get this out of my system because I have told no one but Bubba one time on his thread and Furkidlet's Mom read and responded to it ...

Wait. Let me find that so maybe I don't have to type it out again. BRB. Here is the direct link ...

Shooting Star: Posts 247 - 253

Here it is in a nutshell. If Alex is still alive somewhere, he would be 17 years old this May 1st. He was never sick a day in his life with me and had a life span expectancy of up to 40 years. So, if he's somewhere ... Alive ... Is he crying? Is he calling out to me: "Mama! Mama! Help! Help! Mama! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Mama! Help! Help! Help!!!" Then is he crying for me? Is my poor, sweet, darling Feather Child alive somewhere and crying his himself sick for the only Mama he's ever known?! When I think about that, I cry hysterically like I'm crying right now. And, Alex sounded just like me when he cried so I hear him cry when I cry ... and so much more ... And so much more ...

At first, Alex's cry and laugh were "sound mimic" until he learned what those sounds meant as well as all other sounds, words, phrases and so on ... Then he knew and used all at appropriate times only.

What I pray for so very, very hard is that Alex is happy if he is alive and elsewhere. That he is loved and spoiled. I pray that he doesn't cry too much for me, Cocoa kitty, Trader dog, Kenny (my wonderful late husband) and others as he did when he lived here with me. I worried so much about Alex when he would call out to them and cry so hard. It broke my heart! I wrote some about on another message board as it was happening before Alex was ever abducted, then I copied and pasted it here at LS on this thread, page two, post 36.

Dear God, please watch over my Sweet Baby Boy Alex and keep him happy if he's alive and somewhere ... Or if he's with you. Let him know there is nothing in this world that can conceivably begin to measure how very, very much I love him and will never, ever, ever forget him. Please tell him ... Well, you know all that's in my heart and soul, God. I'm sure you'll take care of everything and I am so very grateful to you. Amen.

No one knows better than God and all you Fur and Feather Kid Moms and Dads how Alex was truly my child ... Like my very own flesh and blood. He just happened to be a different species.

Hugs and Love to all and your Angel Fur Kids!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Dearest Alex, I promise to try my very best not to kid myself anymore into believing everything is fine and dandy when I don't feel that way in the least. Hopefully, being more honest with myself will eventually lead me to that Healing Path. Then, you and I both can be at Peace. This song expresses what I just said but does it so much better. I hope you like it, little one. Tons of Kisses to you, Sweet Baby Boy!!! Muah!!!

"I Get Along Without You Very Well"

I get along without you very well.
Of course I do.
Except when the soft rains fall,
And drip from the leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms.
Of course I do.
But I get along without you very well.

I've forgotten you just like I should.
Of course I have.
Except to hear your name.
Or someone’s laugh that is just the same.
But I've forgotten you just like I should.

What a guy,
What a fool I am,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What’s in store?
Should I phone once more?
No, it’s best that I stick to my tune.

I get along without you very well.
Of course I do.
Except perhaps in Spring.
But I should never think of Spring.
For that would surely break my heart in two.

Hi Dear Sweet Dottie
We certainly have missed you around here. I am sure you know by now that our beautiful Dozer also passed away very suddenly on February 28th. I have not been here that often for it hurts very bad and I guess coming here makes the realality oh so real. I did post a few more poems for that seems to help me when I am writting. I hope you have been ok. So glad to see you back. Just so you know Dottie I did not make a seperate forum for my angel Dozer, for he and Max were so close in Life I write to them both on Max's forum. Oh Dottie I am so glad you are back we were starting to really worry about you.

Your Friend
Hugs
Anna

Dottie...so good to have you back...everytime I come to the forum I check to see if you have come back, you add so much to here and help so many people, you were very missed. I do come here everyday but do not post much anymore, I do not always read new posts either...they make me too sad. When I read a new post a wave of emotion comes over me...I feel so bad for the poster and it brings back all the hurt of losing Brutus, it makes me feel like it's that dreaded day all over again.....I have went on with life...life happens whether you want it to or not. I am still not over it of course (don't think I will ever be)....there are moments where I still break out in tears and it's hard to breath without my soulmate. I think the changes...spring weather, etc...make it worse. Everytime we do something fun I say to my husband, "Man, Brutus would love this." He is always on my mind.

When I first came to the forum and read posts...seeing some people have been grieving for months to years...you, Jan, and many others. I thought...holy cow, I hope I'm not like that, I hope I still don't hurt so much after months...but I like you all, still do. I never expected to still be crying after 5 months, I never expected to still be coming to this forum either. This whole experience has totally changed me...I am definately more sensitive to others feelings...and that is definately a good thing.

Anyhow, just wanted to say I'm glad you are back...so much has happened....Jan getting Pixie , Anna losing Dozer , and Margi really hurting watching her precious Ladywolf getting ready to go to the bridge...so many new posters too .

You are definately needed here,
Hugs,
Sonya
