Thank you Gizy's Mom......I'm sure Mickey and Gizy are good friends romping and playing in the heavenly sunshine....



My Dear Sweet Mickey,

Mommy had a rough day and night yesterday. I was sick yesterday and then we had to get up around 5 this morning to go to the basement because of storm warnings. We missed you so much laying between us on the couch. Storms never scared you. You would just curl up and go to sleep. I could feel your spirit beside us and thank you for watching over us.

My Sweet Boy, we love and miss you more every day. Someday we will all be together because we are soulmates.......As daddy would say, "Rest your little eyes".

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY XOXO

Hello My Sweet Little Boy Mickey,

Mommy wanted to stop by to say we love you and miss you so much. We have lots of snow on the ground, but some of the little stray cats still come by to eat on the carport. One day a little Yorkie doggie came to the door and said hi. She belongs to a neighbor and they were trying to catch her. They got her home okay.......My little one, you were a good boy and never did run off down the road.

Mommy and Daddy enjoys talking to you every night and saying goodnight to you. It keeps us feeling close to you....Well, Sweet Boy, keep enjoying your heavenly home and many, many friends. We hope to see you again some day.

Loads of Love and Kisses,


XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

Hi Mickey-boy

Thank you for humming in prayer yesterday for your mom's friend, Trevor's mom!! It worked. You're in the Perfect World so you know what I mean. Keep on sending those love rays down to your mom and dad. They miss you.

Gretta's mom

My Dear Sweet Little Mickey,

Feb. is a sad month for mommy. This time, 2 years ago, you were beginning to feel bad. I remember your good days and your bad days. Your little heart was failing even though you were on medication. You had a lively spirit and tried to play no matter how bad you felt.........Mommy is still sad, but I remeber all the good times we had, the love, the fun, and doing special things for you. That makes me smile........Your daddy still hears things in our bedroom that sounds like you. You both would take a nap together there. The other day he heard a noise that sounded like you had gotten up and shook out your fur......I like to believe your little spirit visits us....

Have a good night, my love, and "rest your little eyes".

We love you and miss you more every day.

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY XOXO

"HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, MY SWEET MICKEY!!!!

We love you so much and miss you!!!!

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY XOXO

Dear LovemyMickey
I hope you are managing through the tough month of February without your sweet Mickey. It sounds like Mickey was such a good boy! And you're right about being soul mates with Mickey. You two will absolutely be together again.
Thinking of you, Mark (and Bicky)

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your kind words. I am doing okay. I remember what you said on Bicky's second anniversary, that the waves of grief and lonliness are the new normal for you. That is the way I feel.....Yes, Mickey was a good doggie and was very special. I guess that's why it hurts so much......And I know Bicky was very special to you........On a lighter note, I'm still looking forward to reading his love story.

Thank you Mark for being a friend and keeping in touch. God Bless you and family....

LoveMyMickey

My Darling Boy Mickey,

I hope you like the poem mommy wrote for you....I want this to be a good day thinking of all the good years we had together. So when I start having sad thoughts, I direct my thoughts to the fun, love, laughter, etc. we had.......We love and miss you more every day. That will never stop.......You will always be daddy's buddy and mommy's baby.

Lots of love, cuddles, and kisses on your sweet little head,

XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

LoveMyMickey

What a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing it and your precious Mickey's 2 year angelversary. I know all too well how hard they are as I just had mine in December. Even the good memories are bittersweet sometimes. But Mickey will always be with you in your heart and soul. Hope you are well this day. Take care.

TTT

Hi Tracy,

Thank you for reading my poem and the compliment. I agree, the good memories are bittersweet and also can cause teary eyes. Thank you Tracy, for your support and being a friend.....I always think of your little angel Sir Thomas too.

God Bless you and your precious furbabies....


LoveMyMickey

My Darling Sweet Mickey Baby,

I just want to come by and say hi and that I have missed you so much this week. I hear little doggies barking in the neighborhood and they sound like you. We had a sunny warm day today around 61.....Pretty soon you will be able to send me some butterflies.

Mickey, we have a lot of mommies and daddies that have lost their sweet babies. Please welcome them and let them know we all will be together someday.

I LOVE YOU MY SWEET BABY BOY!

XOXO MOMMY XOXO

LoveMyMickey

Thank you for sharing. I hope Mickey brings you many butterflies. I'm sure he will as he loves you very much. Hope you are well.

TTT

Just read the poem on your post, it says all & sums up what I feel for my Simba, very grateful for you posting it. Keep well & hold on to the dream, as I do of being reunited again with beloved ones.
Gravessa

LoveMyMickey, the poem is beautiful and says it all. That is my hope, that the chain will someday link again. Thank you for posting it.

Thank you, Tom's Dad, Gravessa, and Jake's Grandpa.




Hi My Sweet Little Mickey,

The temps reached 71 today and our first March flowers are blooming. I put one on yours and Annie's little grave. Oh how I wish you and I could have taken a walk today. You always liked to walk way down in the back yard and say hi to all the neighbor doggies through the fence. But they are all gone now. Two yards over there is a little Yorkie that speaks to me and I bet you would like her.......Oh my little one, I do remember all the fun we had.

Little Mickey, I am so sad, because Rufus had to leave his earthly home to go to the Perfect World heaven. I hope you have met up with him and welcome him. I hope he has found his sister Gretta, cousin Trevor, and all the Musketeers, and other friends. You all be good and send some love rays to Gretta's Mom. She is heartbroken. And always keep those prayers going for Trevor's mommy too.

My baby, we miss you and love you sooooooo very much.

XOXO Mommy and Daddy XOXO

Little Mickey

I heard a breath of wind tell me something - that great big black goofy Rufus had made it to the Perfect World and he had met the sweetest little white fluffy dog called Mickey and the he was a Musketeer, too. Bask together sweet ones. The large and the small, the black and the white, the lively and the restful, the newly arrived and the old hands. All of you are loved. Each of us back here on earth is waiting for the moment we can be reunited with you.

Rufus's mom

Hello my sweet darling Mickey,

Mommy just wanted to stop by to wish you and all your friends a "Happy Easter". I think about you all the time and your daddy and I will always talk to you and tell you goodnight.

Remember the little Maltese, Concheta? I sent her some fresh baked organic treats from the internet for Easter, always in your memory. Her mommy sent me a video. Concheta grabbed a treat, took off with it, and really enjoyed it. She reminded me so much of you, my sweet boy. Oh how I wish I could give you an Easter treat. All I can do is put another fresh flower on yours and Annie's little graves.

I understand you and Rufus have met. Since this is his first Easter in heaven, make sure he doesn't chase the sweet little rabbits. I don't think he would anyway, because he is a good and kind doggie like his sister Gretta.

My little Mickey, you and all the Spirit Animals please never, ever forget to say special prayers for all the heartbroken mommies and daddies here who have lost their precious babies....Also say special prayers for Trevor's mommy and Gretta & Rufus's mommy. We Musketeers have to keep on keeping on.

My Baby Boy, we miss you and love you more each day.

XOXO MOMMY & Daddy XOXO

Oh Love My Mickey

What a lovely and heartfelt tribute to your beautiful Mickie and all your other beautiful little sweeties. And thany you so much for including Bobbie's and ymy dogs in the tribute. Things are going quite badly for Bobby right now. Seventhe day with no reattachment of feeding tube. Stan and I are desperate and need prayers like we've never needed them before. I know this will come out all right in the end, but it's a terrifying path getting there.

But despite all of that, we know that Our Savior died for us and then rose agaon and that HE will protect us from all hurt, harm and danger. Please God, save my sister.

Thank you Love my Mickey for all your friendship, love, failthefulness and kindness throughout all this.l

G and R's mom

Such a beautiful poem written from the heart xx
Gravessa

Thank you Gretta's Mom and gravessa for your kind words.


My Dear Sweet Baby Boy Mickey,

Another Tuesday has rolled around, Tuesdays are especially sad. But I try to think of the happy fun times we had together.
Thank you for getting in contact with both your daddy and me a few days ago. Your daddy was sitting on the couch in the living room, dozed off, and dreamed you stood up beside the bed and wanted him to help you up like you always did. He said it was so real.
I know it's too early for real butterflies, so maybe you put it in their heart to send me a pretty compact with a butterfly on it. I had ordered some things from an online company and that was a free gift. It is so pretty. Anyway, my little one, I thought of you.

You be good, baby, and remember to say big special prayers for Trevor's mommy and family.....

We love you and miss you more every day.

XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

LoveMyMickey

What a beautiful dream, thank you for sharing. And the butterfly comact; definately a sign from your little man Mickey. Hopefully he will send you real ones soon. I still remember the beautiful white Monarchs that followed me on Tom's angelversary. Hope you are well today.

TTT

OH Love My Mickey

How strongly your love for Mickey-Boy shines through your messages to him. You never stop missing them, ever. A real live "sighting" - how wonderful. Ever since Rufus went home, I have been sensing him lying on the floor beside me when I'm working on the computer. He NEVER lay on that side in this life - the table was too close to the radiator. Sometimes, like now, it's Trevor's cousin Dreamer, many other times it's a spirit - Rufus's spirit.

rufus's foster mom made a picture book of him and it arrived yesterday. I didn't have the courage to open the package yesterday but I did it today. As expected it was BEAUTIFUL! And I cried my eyes out - wept bitter,lonesome,loving tears. Because I will never get to see this guy on this side of heaven. I know that's how you feel for little Mickey. He looks like such a good, happy little dog. When he left for the Perfect World, he must have taken a lot of happiness and joy with him. Our houses are empty, our arms have no one to hug. Did you ever think a hollow could be so real?

Thank you for staying with us Musketeers. We're down but not out. I'll write an e-mail later.

We love you Mickey. Take good care of your mom and dad. They need you more every day.

Blessings,

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Thank you Tom's Dad and Gretta's & Rufus's Mom......



Hello My Sweet Little Boy Mickey,

Guess what????? On one of the warm days last week, your daddy was sitting on the patio while I was feeding the birds down in the back yard. He said he saw a white butterfly go by. I said are you sure? He said yes, I'm sure. Anyway, I saw the white butterfly this afternoon as I was feeding the birds. It flew by me and disappeared in the neighbor's yard. Thank you my darling Mickey for sending us a butterfly so early in the season........We love you and miss you sooooooo much!

XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

Thank you LoveMyMickey for sharing.

I knew your little man would send you a white butterfly - and early too I hope he sends many more. All our best.


TTT

Great poem, LoveMyMickey, pretty much says it all.

Yes, such a nice poem....
And such a beautiful tribute to Mickey. Oh, I so understand your grief and your longing to be with Mickey again. I often look for "signs" from Bicky...The other day, his digital.frame (with a thousand pictures of him) suddenly turned on again(after I had turned it off) as I was getting ready for bed. And his angelic face and million-dollar-smile was looking at me. It gave me such a warm feeling....
Anyway, your devotion to Mickey is inspiring...I hope Mickey and Bicky are friends in the beyond, waiting for us!

Thank you all for liking the poem. There are so many pet grief poems on the internet that fit our feelings.

Mark, that is so cool about the digital frame. I do believe Bicky was getting in touch with you. It does give a warm feeling when our babies send us a sign. Sometimes I get goose bumps.

I'm sure Bicky and Mickey are good friends waiting for us. Won't that be wonderful for us all to be together again!

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

Good morning Love My Mickey

Can you believe that a miracle is happening today? it's all the result of the unflagging prayers of the Musketeers and many others. Although we live and love and have good times in this world, it is not our home.. Our true home is where our beautiful soul-mate animals have gone and where they have complete happiness. Some bright morning when this life is over, we'll all fly away, to a land where joys will never end. Yes, like them, we will fly away and join them. No more crying there, we're going to see the King and all the soul-mates who have ever lived - reunited once again never to be parted again.

Thank you for being such a powerful and faithful Musketeer. Mickey, you done good finding your soul mate and letting her know she was yours. Tears may last for a night, but joy IS coming in the morning.

No matter if there is snow on the ground here today, today is a brighter day!

Blessing always,

Gretta' and Rufus's mom

Gretta's and Rufus's Mom,

Thank you for your kind words. "I'll Fly Away" sent me down memory lane remembering my growing up church years and later too. I love the old church hymns. I hope you are doing better and are having good weather. A few days ago, a small dark butterfly flew by me on the patio, circled around my work table and disappeared. Naturally I thought of Mickey, but...hmmmmm...by it being dark, maybe it was from Gretta and Rufus.......

Love ya',

One of the Musketeers......LMM




My Dear Sweet Mickey,

Mommy just wanted to stop by and say hi to my sweet baby boy and that I am always thinking of you, your routines, and the things we did together. Most of all I want to thank you for coming to me in a dream. Yesterday while I was taking a nap on the couch, I dreamed you had jumped real high, like you were flying, and was going to land on my head. I woke up before you landed.

Remember, you and all the Spirit Animals keep the prayers going for Trevor's mommy and all the family. Also prayers for all those here that are sad because they lost their babies. May they find peace.

Goodnight my little one and God Bless....

We love you and miss you so much.

XOXO Mommy & Daddy XOXO

Hi Mickey

Know what? Monday is rufus's birthday and there's going to be a big party. So gather up all your brothers and sisters and cousins and friends and mosey on over to where all the fun is happening. In the Perfect World the animal cake and ice cream never runs short and never makes anybody sick. Say hi for me, OK? Thanks, Mickey. I love you and I love your mom, too.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hello My Darling Boy Mickey,

Sunday was Mother's Day and I missed you soooooo very much. We would have our picture taken together on Mother's Day. The other day I dreamed of a little gray poodle coming toward me, it was not you, but it was your size. I dream a lot here lately, didn't use to dream much. But I do always tell you to come to me in a dream, don't I?

Remember Concheta, the little Maltese, that I help? She and her mommy sent me a Mother's Day card. They always send their blessings and prayers.

Oh Mickey, I understand you and all the spirit animals were at Rufus birthday pawty. I know a good time was had by all eating cake, ice cream, treats of all kinds. And like Rufus's mom said, you won't get sick in the Perfect World.

I love you, my baby, and I need you. Your daddy feels the same way.

Goodnight and God Bless....

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY

My Sweet Little Mickey,

I just wanted to stop by to say hi and that I love you more every day. It's been over 2 years since you went to be with the Angels and you are my little Angel. I stilll have your fluffy bed with some of your toys and treats out in our bedroom and pictures all over my computer room. Things are better for me, but I still have my tearful moments.

In the future, I might not stop by as often as I used to, but I really appreciate all the support and comfort everybody has given me during the past two years. No matter how long or how short the posts have been, I appreciate them all.

My little one, I haven't seen a butterfly for several days, but this morning I saw a little white butterfly circle your gravesite and disappear into the trees. Thank you for sending your love and comfort to me.

Sending all my love back to you, my sweet little one. I miss you more than ever.

XOXO MOMMY XOXO

Dear LovemyMickey
I believe we are in the same grieving place. It's been 2 years/4 months since I lost Bicky. I still have his pictures, bed. And toys...It feels that I have reached a plateau...I miss him so very much...
I always look forward to seeing our posts on here. They have always given me great comfort.
I know that that Mickey is with you....You do him such great honor by your participation on this board.
If you ever need a friend to talk to, I am here. I know exactly what you are going through.
Yours (always), Mark (and Bicky)

Hi Mark,

I hope you are doing well today....I agree, we are in the same grieving place and have reached a plateau. Mickey's bed still has the indented place on it where his little body laid. I could never put all that away, because it makes me feel closer to him........I got a new cell phone in 2010 and took some pictures of him in Dec. He looked so well and fiesty, it is hard to believe he was gone 2 months later, although I knew he had heart trouble. I open my phone every night and talk to him, his picture. (People might think I'm a little bit crazy, but that's okay.)

I wouldn't leave the board completely, because I would feel like I'm abandoning Mickey. I'm glad my posts have given you comfort as yours have given me comfort. Thank you for being a friend. If you ever need to talk, I am here too.......You and sweet Bicky are always in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey

Every morning I wake up and go downstairs to where Bicky's urn is, I turn on his digital frame (of over 500 rotating pictures), and open the drapes to let the piercing sun enter the living room...All the while I sing "Here comes the sun". It's is the first thing I do every day...This is what I used to do with Bicky when he was alive. It was the beginning ritual of every day for us. Some people might call it crazy or (worse) sad (now that he has passed on), but it links me with him and that's what's important.
The older I become, the more I realize that people's negative (or contrary) comments are just God's way to tell me that those people don't belong in my life. And when people react positively to my continuing over Bicky with reassuring comments and understanding, it's a sign that those people belong in my life.
And I understand about how Mickey must of looked so "feisty" even a few months before his passing. Bicky also was quite strong in the months leading to his passing, and I look at those pictures and can't believe he was preparing to let go.
Thinking of you LovemyMickey, Mark (and Bicky)

Hi Mark......I generally do the same thing, get up, open the blinds in the living room, but I don't sing. I touch Mickey's 2 pictures and say hi to him. I have most of his pictures in my computer room......It's good to keep up some kind of routine, of which I have several involving Mickey. After Mickey passed, of course a lot of the routines were gone. Sometimes I would just stand and ask myself, "what am I supposed to do next."..............I agree, the negative people don't belong in our life, just the ones that understand.

You have a lot of pictures of Bicky, which I know is a blessing and comfort to you. Was Bicky a big dog? Mickey kept his weight at around 15 or 16 lbs.

Have a good night/day and God Bless....

LoveMy Mickey

My Darling Sweet Mickey,

We're thinking of you and missing you on this beautiful Memorial Day. Oh, how I miss seeing you laying in the open patio door soaking up the sunshine and watching the birds and squirrels.

I worked on yours and Annie's gravesite yesterday, changing the artificial butterflies around, and put some pretty artificial azelea flowers there. I took pictures and one looked like an evil face on it. It was one of the butterflies had merged with a rock and made that face. Needless to say, I deleted that one.

Baby Boy, we miss you and love you more every day.....Please send me a real butterfly, okay?

Sending kisses on your little head and lots of belly rubs.....

XOXO MOMMY & DADDY

Dear LoveMyMickey, Just a quick note to let you know that you and your lovely Mickey are in my thoughts, it is just over two years since my Mischief girl got her angel wings, I miss her so much, sending huge hugs,
Leejaye

Good morning Love My Mickey

I just wanted to say that I'd miss you and your wonderful white fluffy dogs if you left LS. Sometimes we don''t post for a while but when our best friends come back it's a big ray of sunshine in our lives.

Another Musketeer.

Gretta and RUfus's mom

Hi Leejaye,

My friend, I think of you and your angel Mischief often. The other day I was thinking it had around two years since you lost Mischief...I hope Pursival, Bandit, and all your family are doing well.

It was good to see you here again......Hugs..

LoveMyMickey

Hi Gretta and Rufus's Mom......No, I wouldn't leave, I would feel like I'm abandoning Mickey. Sometimes I just don't have the time to post............I agree, it's good to see old friends come back and post. I hope you're doing well.

Always a Musketeer,

LoveMyMickey

Love My Mickey

Are you getting the Bob Squad messages? Please ask all your doggies to get ready to wipe away our tears today. Someone we love dearly may leave us soon and go to live with all our dear ones in the Perfect World. Thank you Mickey and all your brothers and sisters.

Rufus and Gretta's mom

Dear Gretta & Rufus Mom,

I got caught up on my email today. My Prayers will certainly continue for you all. Mickey and all the Spirit Animals will do their part too. May God Be with You All!

Hugs,

LoveMyMickey

Thank you so much, Love My Mickey!

Oh don't leave! I don't reply often but I too love reading the posts and simply catching up. So wonderful to hear from true pet lovers.

LoveMyMickey?

I don't see anywhere it says you are leaving. Please don't. Even though I don't always post, I do read your posts every time. Hugs!

TTT

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was leaving, just might not stop by as often, sometimes I don't have the time. But I think I've been here more since I wrote that. .....Thank you Missingmygranny ad Tom'sDad.

Love My Mickey

No matter how often you post, every time I see you here I rush over and say hi to Mickey. Thank you, you Musketeer.

Gretta and Rufus s mom

Hi, LoveMyMickey, stopping by to say hello and to let you know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also want to offer you my sincerest sympathies in the physical loss of White Collar. I'm so glad you were able to offer him a resting place in your garden area. I know your beloved Mickey and all our beloved companions are surrounding him in the company of the angels welcoming him into heaven's perfect garden.

I hope today is treating you and your husband, kindly, LoveMyMickey, - - and all the homeless waifs who come to your door knowing they will receive a hearty meal and a loving greeting. You are indeed an inspiration to us all, my friend.
Please know you and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, LoveMyMickey, and that I always look forward to knowing how you're doing, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Mickey.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi moon_beam, my friend, Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad we have a place for White Collar too. I think last evening we were in shock and didn't know what to do and I didn't want my husband digging in the hard dirt. After we settled down, my husband thought of the little flower bed. It's a nice little place decorated with bricks around it right next to the house.

Thank you again moon_beam for stopping by with your comforting words. Thank you also for your prayers. I hope you and Noah have a cozy evening. Give him a special pat for me.

God Bless,

LoveMyMickey
