Hi sweet Stormie!
It has now been 18 long months and Mommy still misses you...that will never change. I see your plant and tree most everyday when I walk Tillie..I tell her that is "Stormie's plant and Stormie's tree" but Tillie just sniffs it. Maybe she DOES know that you have been there? Your pawprints are all over my heart, this house, and where Tillie and I walk. I wish I could have had you for 10 more years! I love you so much Stormie, so very much.
Mommy still cries and a few nights ago we were watching some vacation video and THERE YOU WERE! It was SO good to see you but then I started crying...I even heard you bark on the video!!! I miss you and it almost seems like I didn't even have you but we know how time lessons the pain somewhat.
Stormie, I am trying to be a good Mommy to Tillie but sometimes that is hard to do since she is much naughtier than you. She is trying her best though. Stormie, can you send me a shaggy boy to love? Please? Someone who NEEDS a home. Tillie would like a brother and I need some shaggy fur again to love.
Watch for me Stormie!!!!! We will be together forever soon.
Love and hugs and kisses, MOMMY

That was very touching
*tears*

I know Stormy is watching out for you and Tillie and is helping to keep your heart warm.
Love,
Jennifer

Hello sweet Stormie!
Mommy is still missing you, each and everyday! Your tree and plant have grown tall. Remember when your tree was a little shrub? Now it is taller than Mommy! Last night I closed my eyes and remembered you laying by the front door. I miss seeing you there. I miss seeing you under the deck. Stormie, I just miss everything about you! Mommy still struggles with guilt...I could not save you and am so sad that as your Mommy I could not protect you. You never complained, you were ready to go to the Bridge. I could see it in your beautiful, brown eyes. You gazed back at me and I said "you're going to leave me aren't you Stormie?" I never wantd to be so wrong in my life! I miss the leaves sticking to your fur and coming into the house all over the floor...I miss the snowballs that stuck to your fur and littered the house making little puddles of wet for us to walk in. Stormie, I can't even know how I have gone on..you are the most loyal, loving, caring dog I have ever had!
We had something really special didn't we? We understood each other and there was no need for words. How I miss that! How I miss your shaggy fur and your beautiful smile. I am working to get over the guilt but sometimes it overwhelms me. I love you Stormie with all my heart. Mommy will see you at the Bridge! Keep that tail thumping, those eyes sparkling, that face smiling, and that shaggy fur blowing in the wind when you race into my arms!
I love you forever Stormie! You are the BEST! Stormie + Mommy = TRUE LOVE!
Love, MOMMY....the leaves are falling..you would love the cool temps.

I think that Stormie's mommy needs to go out and rescue a new furbaby. A new little boy for Tillie and Mommy to love.

Sometimes the things that fall into our laps are helped along by US moving our laps a little to the left

I have a strong (call it psychic) feeling that your new boy is waiting for you to find him - maybe with Stormie looking over his shoulder until you get there.

So go looking - and let me know if my feelings are right.
