Hi Trevor!
Well, it's you and me again at the end of another weekend and I don't remember much of what I did. I do know I thought of you all the time, even in my dreams. It's still amazing to me that your memory and love are still so fresh in my mind, even when I have two new brothers here who are as different as night and day. I almost forgot how to split up the loving so that neither feels neglected. It was so easy to love you all the time. And I'll never stop doing that. In my mind, you were also part-Therapy dog for me. You pushed me to come alive and DO things because you needed me and were so grateful afterwards.
Do you know I found some fresh potty pads in the besment the other day? All I could do was smile and think of the thousands we gave to you to use. These are goind in a special place, never to be used.
Well, little one, I need to get some sleep so am going to once again tell you how much you are loved and remind you of the little Chihuahua that will be arriving one day, if he hasn't already.
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR! HI HERMY!!!

Dear Auntie Bobbie
This is your niece Gretta. Trevor told me about your question. If I get it, it means what happenes when a human's dog leaves earth and goes to the Perfect World and the mom or dad on earth missies this doggie more than she would have or has ever missed a person. Aunt Bobbie, I hope you won't think I'm bragging or being smart-alecky. What that means is that animals' love for their moms and dads is not the same as people's love for each other. Long ago people learned how to talk and just a little later they learned that they could lie - that other people would believe their words even though they weren't true. About the same time, they learned to be selfish and then, eventually, to actually HATE other people. Some of us here talk about a Demon or Devil that tricked his way into the earth and made people do these things. But we animals see things differently. People must not be able to see this Demon, but we animals can see it plainly - and we run it off with tooth and claw when it tries to sneak into our Perfect World.
Since we animals don't know how to have these selfish, hateful thoughts and don't bother to say things that aren't true - because we all know it anyway, I think the love of animals is purer and more honest and, what do people say, unconditional. Some animals here say that some people call it love when what they really mean is "I'll be nice to you cuz then someday you'll do something for me." We don't GET that! The closest word we have for that is "commerce." Definitely NOT love.
When animals love humans, it's real, it's complete, it's whole and it's forever. When we go to the Perfect World, our poor mommies and daddies are left with only people around them - and people's love, with very few exceptions (I learned that word from a very smart Boxer up here!) is really only buying and selling. Professor Boxer said that was called investment. I don't know about that since we animals don't have such a word or even such an idea.
I'm not very smart. On earth some people get a big lauch by saying the us labs aren't the sharpeest knife in the drawer (whatever that means, but when they say it they usually laugh in a sort of unkind way), but this is what one chocolate lab thinks about your question. I hope this helps, Aunt Bobbie. You know Trevor loves you, I love you, all my cousin doggies and two singing birds and all our friends (which is everyone here) loves you and wants the sun to shine in your heart. We promise - because we KNOW this for sure - we WILL be together again after a while. And this time it will be even better because we will understand each other's words.
Trevor and Rudy and Birney and Kelly-one-E and Crocker and Spot and Squirt and me are all joining paws and surrounding your heart with furry, soft protection - and love.
Any more questions? This lab will try her best to answer them or go visit Professor Boxer and see what he says.
Good night, sleep tight. Up here even bed bugs don't bite!
XOXO
Your niece Gretta
Oh Gretta, that is the most beautiful and intelligent answer to that question that I have ever come across......I know a person that lost her grown son to natural causes a few years ago and then a little later her doggie passed away.
I know she felt guilty because she grieved more (still is) over her doggie than her son. I think she feels a little better now, but I will pass along this info to her....Thank you so much Gretta, Gretta's Mom, Trevor and Bobbie......God Bless You All!

Hi Trevor!
I read some other posting first, which from now on I promise not to do, and one made me quite sad. Although it was meant to be a comfort to us humans who have to say good bye to you, our loves and our joys. It was too terse for me and now, I am sorry to say, I am very sad, very very sad. I was missing you in a way that was comfortable for both of us and now all I want to do is cry because the memories of your loss are in the forefront of my thoughts and I SO wish there was something I could do. But there isn't,
Oh my Trevor, my wonderful. sweet little bundle of love, I miss you so much. I am more and more convinced that I made a huge mistake in keeping you on this earth with me as long as I did. But that's where the human part awalys seems to fail me....knowing when it TRULY is time to let my bevloed boys go onto the Beatuiful World (Heaven) and not when Mommy wants that to happen. I do not believe that you guys reincarnate and come back as another animal or spirit. For each of you are so incredibly unique that you are like snowflakes......no two exectly alike. And I do not believe that reincarnation can assure me of that. So, for your momma, each of you are totaly unique, individual DNA and the whole nine yards, and each of you (canaries included) have given me such incredible joy and love that I owe a debt of gratitude to every one of you. And now it is your turn, Trevor, to help me love Dreamer and Kelley.
So, on I go, tiny baby steps for a grownup seem almost embarassing, but that's the way it is.
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Dear Bobbie,
I'm just catching up on your posts here. I'm so sorry to hear that you were in the hospital recently. I hope you are feeling better.
I'll try to be better about posting more frequently and not falling so behind reading your beautiful love notes to dear Trevor. My parents, sister, and brother came to visit about a week ago. Between getting ready before their visit and tidying up afterwards, I've lost track of time. My grief over losing Hermy still weighs heavily on me. I understand how you feel when you write that your missing Trevor hasn't diminished with time. I miss Hermy more than ever.
Bobbie, you are such a wonderful, loving, compassionate, kind and giving person with a humongous heart! I have faith that Trevor and Hermy and Gretta are watching over us and continue to feel our love for them. I believe that we will see them again one day.

I'll write more later. I'm going to light candles now for Hermy, Trevor, and Gretta. Today marks 5 months for me. I'm sure my eyes will be leaky this evening.
Have a peaceful, restful night, Bobbie!
Love and Hugs,

Hi Trevor!
Isn't Hermy's mommy just the cat's meow? I know dogs and bunnies don't know what that means. It's so good to hear from her. I missed her.
I miss you, too, my angel of a dog and the love of my life. Even thoughts of you now make life seems worthwhile at times when I'm really not sure at all. See, you just continue being a miracle worker every day of your earthly and heavenl life! You are a champ!
Keep an eye out for a little Chihuahua who has been really sick lately. Hopefully he has rallied, but if not be sure to take care of him right away.
That's it for tonight, my love. Enjoy a good night (do you actually sleep up there?) with Hermy and Gretta and Tucker and Nicodemus and all those wonderful pets and the poor animals that give their lives for horrid experiments that mean absolutely nothing. THEY truly deserve the gold stars and we will NEVER forget them, RIGHT??????
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

I just want you to know that I will not be using this site any more to write your nightly love letters. Oh, you will still be getting lots of stuff from your Mommy, but it seems that writing on this site has gotten me into personal trouble. Nothing to do with you at all, my sweet boy. But in order for me to be able to concentrate on you and me, I'll set up a private page for us.
Tomorrow, I will print off all our letters and put them in a safe spot in the house. That way I can always look back on them with you.
This has been a marvelous site for so long - over a year for me. And I have received great support and advice. I do still worry about Rob and his Chihuahua.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me over the months. You are all dear friends and I will be checking into your posts. But it is better this way so that I stay out of trouble. God bless you all! and PLEASE don't forget Mr. Trevor!

Thank you xxForeverxx for your kind message.
The good news is that Trevor and I are back. I am no longer in any trouble and shouldn't be in the future either. It was going to be very, very hard to leave here, but I would have done it. Thank God, the problems are solved and I can write to my Trevor......forever! (or until this site is no longer)
Mr. Trevor, there are many people who do understand just how special and wonderful you were on this earth and are in the Heavens. You, once again, have special "jobs" in Heaven, greeting the newcomers, looking out for certain animals that need your special loving care, reassuring those animals who have died alone and forgotten or never known in the first place. I think that is what you do best. Just keep them comforted and that's it.
Mommy is so sad because I miss you all the time. I'm still calling Dreamer by your name on occasion. I hope you don't mind. One day, soon, I will put together your special collage of pictures and then hang it in the living room where all can see it and I can especially remember each and every event we had together. Take good care of Gretta (her brother is having surgery on Monday) and Hermy and abslutely everyone else whose names have slipped my pea brain for now.
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Dear Trevor,
As you know, I should not have jumped the gun. I'm good at that aren't I? Hopefully I will get to the cemetery today for the Spring/Summer decorations. I'll explain everything to you then.
Suffice it to say, this will absolutely be our last communication with each other on Lightning Strike. This is a most healing, helping site that I know of. However, hurtful forces beyond my control make it near impossible to come here to find the shelter from a cruel, uncaring world I used to have.
Each and every one of you are in my thoughts and daily prayers, as are your beloved, late companions. I have been-there-done-that at least 7 times over the years and it never gets better, so I know how you much be feeling and will rejoice as your grief journeys become a bit easier.
Make use of this site often. It really does help.
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

I am so sorry that you, too, are remembering your wonderful Mickey on a 22nd. And it's even Earth Day. How have you made it 14 months? I can't make it more than a day at a time yet. Thank you for reassuring me that, like Mickey, Trevor will never be forgotten.
Yes, I'll change my mind and continue writing to Trevor on this site. People like yourself make it worth while. I have such low confidence (in myself and others) that hearing from you lifts my spirits to new heights.
Did you do anything special for Mickey's one year Angelversary? Trevor's will be on a Sunday and I plan to spend most of the day at the cemetery. Can't think of what else to do. Suggestons?????
I must go for now as Dreamer and Kelley are yelling for their supper. But I will be back. I always write at the end of the day, if possible.
Thanks again, LoveMy Mickey!

Dear bobbie, one year is just a grain of sand on the beaches of grief. There is a man I know, very successful wealthy buisness man, raised three successful childre, has everything materially coveted and high up the social and economic ladder. There is a dog whom he loved more than life who died 40 years ago. Everytime he speaks of his dog he sobs and sobs. Tears flood down his face, endless torrents of tears and grief.when people think still grieving after one year, tell them a year is nothing
He was interviewed for some tv special about the lives of successful americans and on there he spoke about how special his dog was that he had 40 years ago. And on this televised show, he is sobbing and sobbing and he can't stop crying, wishing he had his dog back, he is just wishing he could have his dog again to love and care for him again
One year is nothing in the eternity of grief

My Dearest Trevor,
Today the sun is shining, but there's a cool wind making the temps lower than normal. I'll be sure to stop by today and say hello and, of course, I LOVE YOU! You know, I miss you so much. Each day is like a small eternity since we've been together. I have good memories of us taking our meander walks and snuggling under the fuzzy blanket that now envelopes your physical body forever. I found a smaller version one day and bought it immediately. I know it's not the same, but just feeliing its softness brings you back to me, if even for just an instant.
Trevor, although you weren't able to be around many people for so many reasons, you always taught me important lessons each and every day. The most important, I think, is that Life is Short, Always Think of What Your Dog (cat, bird, bunny, etc) Wants First. There were many times I wanted you to come down stairs for the day and you weren't ready. At first I might be impatient and then I would think, "Well, what's more important than snuggling and loving Trevor?" The answer was always the same: Nothing. So what if I "wasted" a whole morning? I really didn't because you and I were resting and exchanging our love for each other. I wish I had done that more often. When we are once again, united, we'll do that every single morning, OK?
I have two boys here now that I need to remember how I treated you so that they get all the love they deserve, even being "healthy". They must have had nasty lives, too. I can tell from their actions. So, please send down reminders to me, to treat them like I treated you. Thanks, honey!
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Hi Trevor!
Today I did a lot of "remembering". I really thought about how you and I would come down the stairs together after that horrid groomer at the vet's terrified you going down the stairs. Getting you to the top of the stairs was the biggest challenge because you then knew exactly what I wanted you to do. And 98% of the time you weren't ready. So, I'd sit on the top stair, talking away, trying to get you to come closer to the edge and take the dog treat from me. I wasn't very good untilI found one brand of training treats that were little and very smelly. You loved them, but still we afraid to come down a stair. I'd put at least two treats on each stair, on the left side of the stair. You'd sniff at it and then, once I had a good hold of you, you'd gingerly put your front paws on the next step and then your back paws. Then I'd slide down one more stair and we'd do the same thing all over again. Sometimes it took up to 20 minutes to get down those stairs. Oh! You'd get so much praise for going that far! And when you finally made it to the landing, you'd get 6 treats. I hope daddy doesn't find out because he wondered how you went through so many treats.
Oh Trevor, we did so much together. You and I were a team and we could almost read each other's thoughts or at least our feelings. One of the best words I can think of to describe you is "soft". Your fur was soft, especially your ears which we didn't touch much because they hurt. But I could run my fingers through the fur on your head or back and especially on your front paws. That always seemed to give you reassurance that I was with you. Your entire being was also soft and gentle, accepting of the pain and aggravation of your diseases. I hope to learn that acceptance from you.
Thank you for loving me the way you did - always and forever. I promise to do the same for you!
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Apr 28 2012, 04:51 PM
Hello my love,
First, thank you, hesista, for your nice compliment. What I write, I write from my heart. Many people probably think this has gone on long enough, over 9 months now, but they are wrong. I have two new rescue dogs that I love dearly and would to everything and anything for. Trevor was a very special Spirit dog who touched my heart and soul in ways that I have never felt before. And I've had dogs for over 30 years!
I think part of the issue is that Trevor really never had a chance. Once he arrived at our house he was way too sick for anything to be done besides try and keep him out of as much pain as possible and that makes me incredibly angry. NEVER at Trevor, but at the systems that we have in place. or shall I say "lack of systems" in place for animals like Trevor. Probably dumped once he began to develop symptoms such as fear biting, not seeing well, etc. Rather than DOING anything or being responsible and giving him to a reputable rescue group, he was just dumped to be attacked and hurt again and again until he was found by his Grandmom and Grandpop who took immediate action, no questions asked. In the 2 years that Trevor lived with us, before he died, we spent more than $10,000 on him. This was money we really didn't have, but Trevor needed help and needed it now!
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat! Would I change anything? Everything I could, but at least I probably would have sent him to Heaven, taking his pain and suffering away earlier than I did. I have promised him I would never let another of my boys come anywhere near suffering like he did. Yes, I was selfish and for that I am truly sorry. But I thank God for every day that I had with this wonderful, amazing, incredible, Heaven-sent boy.
Now my eyes are leaking. Trevor, you will always be everything to me. I miss you and I love you until we are together again......then the real party begins!
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Hi Trevor!
It was a beautiful day here today, sunny, breezy and cool, just the weather you LOVED! I imagine in Heaven, every animal has his/her prefect weather all the time. And if anyone deserves it, that's you!
I continue to read so many new and continuing sad stories about pets being lost/dying. I hope that you have greeted every newcomer in person. Your circle of friends grows by the minute and there you are, right in the middle, with Hermy, et. al. I'm sure there are many, many circles in Heaven. My heart and soul have been pushed to the limit over the past several months and I only have the strength to write to you, my love. But please let everyone know that I am so sorry for their separations and I, too, know what much of it feels like.
Trevor, you gave me a happiness and purpose that never passed my way before or since. You are a special Spirit Dog that nourished my spirit every day we were together. Again, I'm thinking of how badly you did not want to go into the vet's to get groomed and yet I continued to make you go there, not realizing that you were being terrorized every second in that basement! I ask for your forgiveness and promise that not one more dog of mine will EVER go to a place like that again. EVER.
Thank you for making my life complete, if not just a bit complicated. It's still hard to believe that your physical body is in the ground and your soul/spirit is in the Best Place Ever! I think of you all day, every day and love you more as time goes by.
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Hello my sweetheart!
I'm going to ask you, right off the bat, to check for a Yellow Lab named Gino who should be a newbie in the past day or so. He died tragically and his mom and brother miss him terribly. They cannot understand why something like this would happen in the first place and then to a companion that was so young. I tried to write the mom a few words of comfort, but I know how badly she is hurting right now and if she is hurting, then I"m pretty sure the Gino is sad also. So gather up your group, Hermy, Gretta, Tucker, Gina, your brothers and the rest of your friends and find Gino tonight. Thanks so much, honey bun!
Boy, that message brought me right back to the day and time that you left this earth. I'm sure your spirit soared across the Rainbow Bridge right into that Heavenly Land of good health, good food and good living. Meanwhile, I was absolutely desolate, trying to figure out any way possible to keep you with me. At least your body so that I could continue stroking your soft, soft fur and gaze upon your peaceful face, just like you were in a deep sleep so many times at home. But time continued to push forward, second by second, minute by minute. And now it's been over 9 months since we parted physical company. I cannot believe it. I cannot believe I've survived, not very well, but I have survived. My next goal is to plan the day for your 1-year Angelversary. It will be on a Sunday this year, which is nice because daddy and Grandmom and Grandpop can be at the cemetery with you. The day and its events must be as special as you are and reassure you that we have done nothing to forget you, nor will we ever. I'm going to stop by tomorrow for a few minutes before the support group meeting.
The message brought all sorts of memories of you, too. Us sleeping side-by-side on the bedroom floor, the smell of potty pads wafting in our nostrils; us going down the stairs together in the morning, sometimes taking up to 30 minutes to navigate 12 steps; us snuggling under your soft, blue blanket in the morning (after you got downstairs) and sleeping until at least 10:00 am for me and noon for you; going on our walks that used to drive daddy nuts because you just had to stop and smell each new blade of grass that had grown overnight or that piece of trash lying in the street (I would stop and daddy would eventually realize we were far, far behind him). There were so many memories, good and bad and in between. I wish I had written them down at the time. I am going to make a very special collage of every picture I have of you. That will make me happy.
Trevor, have a peace-filled night with your family and friends. Also, don't forget all the babies who were sent to Heaven because of experimentation. Remind them that they are always in my heart, too. And say a special Hi! to Hermy, OK?

I want to promise you, again, that I will write to you every single day/night, even if no one else ever reads these. It's only important that I send my love to you in such a way that I can redo it many. many times (by printing these out and reading them later)
Thank you for being the bravest little dog that ever lived! YOU are the best!
I will write more tonight!

Dear Trevor,
Tonight we are having a nice thunderstorm that is not scarey at all. I'm so glad that you aren't scared of them like some of your brothers were. Neither Dreamer nor Kelley is scared either!
I stopped by the cemetery today and except for a broken pinwheel, things looked really good. I took down Grandmom's flowers as they were finished. Even your guard beanie doggies looked good so I left them this time. Did you notice that I placed the rosary differently? This way it doesn't cover up any words on your tombstone. It was so nice just sitting on the bench and talking to you and the boys, feeling the slight breeze and watching the pinwheels spin and spin so brightly. It really felt good to be there with you. I must do that more often while most of the weather is still not too hot. People driving by must have thought I was a nut case, sitting there with my Diet Coke and talking to all of you. I don't care. I hope you liked it, too.
Auntie Jeanne told me the other night that I was probably the only person that ever loved unconditionally, loved YOU unconditionally. I don't know if she's right about me being the only one, but I do still love you for who you are and were, all the accidents made you more special to me and I will never ever forget the sight of your little tail trying to wag! That will stay with me forever!
I'm going to bed now as I have a full day tomorrow and it's going to be HOT! Please say HI! to Hermy and Gretta and Gino and all your friends and relatives. Don't forget all those selfless animals that died because of experimentation! I think they need US most!
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Hi Trevor - Forever
This is just you Aunt Jeannie and Rufus stopping by to say hi and say SO many thanks for all the love and care you're sending down to your mommie. She a gem - but then you knew that!
Have fun today and say hi to Gretta and Gino - the new guy.

Hi Bobbie,
Nine months is just the beginning in our grief, 50 years is just the beginning, only until after our last breath in our physical form. Don't worry about anyone thinking anything about you writing to trevor, the letters are so moving. I read them often
I do want to warn about groomers, most of them are sadistic and they torture our animals. Please everyone, carefully get to know a groomers attitude with animals and how they treat them before you choose one. I still can't sleep over memories of what I've seen groomers do to animals. They torture them.

My Dearest, Darling Trevor,
I wish that just one more itsy bitsy time I could touch your soft, soft head (the fur, I mean) and kiss your nose and tell you in person/dog how much I love you. But that just is not meant to be and, while I accept it, I do not like it one bit. And you know how I get when I don't like something or someone like that. You know, learning about Gino and Peanut lately has opened my heart just a bit to the loss of others. Not that your loss will ever lessen by even a millimeter. But these animals and their mommas sound so good and so nice. Kind of like you.
I wish everyone in this world could have known you. We did have a small video of you exploring Auntie Cindy's yard. I'll have to find that. Of course, I will cry and cry and cry watching it again, just as my eyes are leaking already. Trevor, how can I ever explain to you just how good you were and how good you were to me? I know that you already know, but something compels me to keep trying to put it into human words when that is truly impossible If there are any writers out there on LS I could use some help.
Trevor, I still love you more than life itself and am forever grateful to God and Rudy for bringing us together. I just wish it wasn't for such a short time, but it was full.......every minute. Please greet Gino, Gina, Peanut, Hermy, Gretta, Tucker and all those wonderful friends of yours. I'm beginning to love them, too. And please take extra time with every one of the creatures that died because of experimentation. I will never forgive their tormentors, but I will always remember and love the little ones. (and big ones, too)
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Oh my Trevor,
Why do I cry and feel so sad whenever I read my letter(s) to you? When will I truly begin to feel happy? I feel good about everything we had togther, but the pain and sorrow still pierce my heart so often.
I am sure that you are being your humble self up in Heaven, too, so don't get lost in the crowd and stay close to Hermy. You two are quite a combination!
I love you, Trevor, with everything I have now and everything I will have in my future!

I need all the strength you can muster from the group and beam it my direction. Would you mind doing that for me? Thanks, honey, I know I can count on YOU.

Dear Trevor,
Are you all ready? I am, too. You and I are moving on together. I know your Spirit will remain in Heaven with all your friends and relatives to continue welcoming all the newbies. I will hear about them from you when the time is right.
But you and me: we're leaving this place.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I've been fooled once and that's enough. And I know how upset that makes you, too, Trevor.
Every day I look to see if some human, other than Gretta's mom and occasionally moon_beam, has written even a short note of support, but I guess once we reached the 6-9 month anniversary time, we're old news and nothing new can hurt us.
Well, it can and it does, but my soul isn't up to it any more.
I can write to you, talk to you, sing to you, cry for you on my own. I've been disappointed - NOT BY YOU TREVOR - so many times. Enough is enough.
I wanted to take this entire posting off the site, but cannot get ahold of the site administrator(s), so it will just slip farther and farther down the list until it is on a page that very few, if any people look at.
Trevor, you are always #1 in my life and that will never change. Nothing about our love will ever change. That's probably part of the problem here. Don't ever forget........................
I LOVE YOU, TREVOR!

Hi, Bobbie, stopping by to say hello and to thank you for sharing your beautiful love letters to your beloved Trevor with us. I'm so glad to know that the beanie dogs are continuing to keep your beloved Trevor company - - that is so special.
Thank you so much for sharing your beloved Trevor with us, Bobbie. What an honor for you to be his Forever Mom - - and how blessed you both are to share your eternal love for one another.
I hope life is treating you, Stan, your precious Dreamer and Kelley, and all your family kindly today. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers, Bobbie, and that I always look forward to sharing how you're doing and your beautiful love letters to your beloved Trevor.

My Dear Bobbie and Precious Trevor,
Bobbie, I hope you stay here if you feel like it. I love reading your love letters to your Forever Trevor. It encourages me to write to my Mickey. The reason I don't write in your thread very often is because I had a bad experience a few months ago with somebody who was writing to their pet. I feel like I might be butting in.
Bobbie, I think I mentioned this before, but I keep getting a catalog that has a page where they are selling a doggie couch cover. Anyway, the doggie sitting there is a C Spaniel and I think of Trevor every time. I get tears when I see that picture.
Give Dreamer and Kelley a big ole belly rub for me and a kiss on the head.....You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Forever Trevor, you, Mickey and all your friends have fun in your perfect place and stay out of trouble.
(((((HUGS)))))

Oh Bobbie
Please don't go!. Even though I'm your sister, I, too, am inspired (and get leaky eyes) over your letters to Trevor-Forever. I only saw him once but he made a HUGE impact on my life and my heart. Even if it's only moonbeam and LoveMy Mickey and me - we DO love you - both of you - forever. If only I could reach out and take out all the sadness and stress in your life, you know I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thank you for reminding me that there are animals who never had a person, never had a name (like little Aloo) and worst of all were used in terrible and unconscionable ways by people who should have been protecting them. Yeah, we're voices crying in the desert - but we do have a couple of good friends and they are gems. And someday, when we all raise our voices in love and protest, maybe the world will wake up to the value of our beautiful animals. And if they don't there's not gonna be an awful lot of people in that Perfect World - but the ones who are there will be worth more than all the diamonds in the world.
Doggies (you know who you are), kitties, bunnies (expecially Hermie), newbies, birdies, ferrets and all other species in God's Perfect World, please ... this is an emergency. Gather in one place and on a count of three holler as loud as you can .... ready ... one ... two... three ... WE LOVE YOU FOREVER BOBBIE AND TREVOR.
Can you hear just a tiny whisper of all that love? I can't hear it either but I KNOW it's there.

I wrote to you a couple of times. Just wanted you to know I love those love letters
I know what you mean, moonbeam has been very supportive. But I feel abandoned by everyone else, they judge me for some reason. I know how that feels.
It feels awful

Dear LoveMyMickey and hesista,
Yes, your posts have been very kind and to the point which Trevor and I appreciate to no end. And, I do have to agree with hesista, that often times, silence can be a huge judgement factor by others. I will privately post my email adress if you would like. I'm not real consistent there, but I do check in at least twice a day.
And to everyone: to make matters worse, I have lost the baggie that held my Trevor's hair. I am bereft and beyond sad. I have looked everywhere I thought it could be, but no luck. I did find Rudy's and Crocker's and, for some reason, Kelly's baggie was sealed and empty!!!! This is getting to be way too much. I cannot go this journey alone, but get the feeling that is what I must do. Help.

Oh my god, I know how devastating that is. I thought I lost my babies pictures and I was crying and screaming as I was turning the house upside down looking for the pictures. I was in such despair. It felt like they died all over again. After hours of searching I finally found the pictures and I started sobbing nonstop from relief and gratitude. I was so grateful to have them.
You will find Trevors hair, ask him and the angels to help you find it...actually DEMAND that they help you. Tell the angels you need Trevors hair now, life is already too hard, you can't deal with this too
