Hello Muppie's mommy

I posted a reply on one of your other threads last night. My heart is with you in your agony and grief about beautiful Muppie. What a great name! How did you think of it? It's perfect! Congratulations on standing up and being a voice for Muppie and all the other animals to which this has happened. Many so-called humane societies, especially when they are joined up with a local animal control department, are anything but humane.

Please know that Muppie-the-Great IS still alive - as a soul (some call it a spirit). You're a spirit. too, and so are the rest of us. While still on earth, we're ssurrounded by a physical shell through which we see, hear, touch, etc. But love ... well that comes from ... where? ...our spirits. As a spirit, Muppie can do wondrous things ... including being in more than one place at once. Every animal who has shared an earthly life with his or her soul-mate (like you and Muppie ... and me and my Gretta) IS in the Perfect World - free from pain, free from illness, young again. Where the days are always sunny and cool, the food is always yummy, the friends number in the millions and the skies are always blue. Muppie's spirit is also right where it always has been ... right there by your side. Watching over you, guiding your steps, and, most important of all, loving you and being loved by you.

Just as they could on earth, dog-spirits can look right into hearts. We call them "hearts" but it's really our ... spirits ... again. Thye know our feelings and our motivations - on earth and even more in the Perfect World. A beautiful LS "sister" wrote a poem for me when I was feeling like you ... guilty about having left Gretta alone in a hospital on her last night on earth. It's probably too powerful for you right now ... your grief is so much deeper and wider than mine was at the point she wrote the poem. I will be glad to share it with you ... but I don't wwant it to add to your pain. Let me know when the time is right, Muppie's mom ... Muppie will tell you when.

You're Muppie's forever mom, his soul-mate. From the beginning of time you have shared a part of each other's souls - and will forever. You were blessed with having shared not only a spirit connection but a loving, who-can-describe-it-wonderful earthly life with Muppie-the-Great. And one day you will join him in the Perfect World - never to be parted again. My vet, who is a scientist through and through said to me when my Gretta passed, "She's in a safe place now." If he believes it, so do I I don't know what I would do if I didn't.

Hang together, Muppie's mommie. We're here for you, we really are. If you post often one one of your threads, we can find you easier. (I did the same thing when I was new here. I though I should start a new thread every time I felt differently from what my tagline said. One thread works much better.)

Please keep in touch, Muppie's mommie. Someday I want to hear about and see some pics of the loving and funny things Muppie did whle he was on earth.

In peace,

Gretta's mom

i would love to read the poem.please if you would send it to me.thank you

Muppie's mom

Dear Muppie's mom

What beautiful dogs! I love the picture of Muppie's face painted!

And Muppie says again, "Mom, I'm OK. Really I am. And so is Dozer. And, know what, there are a LOT of dogs up here - some with their earthly parents but even more, like me and Dozer, waiting with all our hearts for that beautiful "someday." Mommie, we KNOW it's coming. We can see it with our own eyes. Beliieve. Mommy. It's real."

Channeled through Gretta and Rufus's mom

Hi MuppiesMommy,

I hope you are feeling a little better. I love the pictures, such beautiful doggies. That was such a sweet story about Dozer taking care of his pups. I guess mommies do get tired.

Mickey said he has been playing hide 'n seek with Muppie and Dozer. He said it was easier for him to hide because he is smaller, but they have been good sports about it. They pretend they don't see him.

God Bless You,

LoveMyMickey

Dear MuppiesMommy,
I'm very sorry for your loss and truly feel for you in your grief. Muppie (great name) experienced much love with you. Wishing you strength, comfort and sending good thoughts your way. Take care.

WELL MUPPIE WAS THE ONLY BABIE WE KEPT CAUSE DOZER HIS DADDY LOVED MUPPIE THE MOST,WE NEVER NAMED HIM REALLY HE WAS JUST ONE OF THE MUPPIES SO WE JUST CALLED HIM MUPPIE

HELLO I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SOME IDEAS...PLEASE HELP ME OUT THANK U

MUPPIE
I sit and wonder why?
why you were taken
without a chance to say goodbye
and as I start thinking
with tears running down my cheeks
I think of life without you and it really makes me weep

I think of the future
and nothing seems that bright nothing is the same without you by my side
all I have is memories and a hole inside my heart
I knew how much I loved you from the very start

Hello Muppie's mommie

What a beautiful soul you are ... right in the depths of your grief for Muppie your heart reaches out to another lonely and confused dog. Love conquers all .... so I think the effects of love, care, concern, hugs, soft words and ... when he's ready ... a few very slow games. I think dogs understand when we tell them theiy're love - provided we back our words up with gentle actions. Maybe Muppie can hep - ask him to send down a message to the new (and beautiful) dog that he's loved - even though he's change homes and people. Dogs can also feel long distance love, so on some level he knows that his people still love him and would do anything they could to show their love. Just a bunch of greedy bankers that would rather have an empoty house and a homeless dog and family than be a little patient about getting their already inflated mortgage payments. Throwing someone out of their home is a stink that sticks to you forever.

Love to you, Muppie and the beautiful new dog.

Gretta's mom

MUPPIE
MOMMIE IS GOING THRU SOME REAL TOUGH TIMES RIGHT NOW.PLEASE DONT THINK IVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU IF I DONT WRITE FOR A WHILE.I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE ALWAYS ON MY MIND.I MISS YOU SO MUCH.I HURT SO MUCH INSIDE

I know you are in a better place
But I miss looking at your face
You were so young to die
Every night I sit and cry
Wondering why does it have to be this way
It hurts so much because there’s nothing I can do or say
That can make you come back to me
There is one thing that’s plain to see
That one day we will be together again
And now until then you will always remain my best friend

If I had knew then, what I know now
I would've spent more time with you
Things go by so fast
and I wish I could back and change the past.

Even with the days that have gone by
I think of you still, and always i cry.
People say time makes the hurt go away
But I think of you, each and every day.

Sure I miss all the things we used to do
My best friend for life you will always be.
Every night and day about you I pray.
To see you smile at me again someday

Now the place you're going, I may not get to go
But I'll keep on trying, and I wanted you to know
Now there's one more thing, I wish I could do
I wish I could tell you how much I miss you.

Oh MUPPIESMOMMY, You write such beautiful poetry, right from your heart. I know Muppie can feel your love. God Bless You!


((((HUGS))))

Hi Muppie's Mommy,
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for the loss of your sweet Muppie. I love his name-so cute. I lost my Wolfie on the 29th, and am still reeling from it. I truly believe that our babies are watching down on us, loving us, and wanting nothing more than for us to eventually be at peace.
Please take care of yourself. Muppie would want that.
Hugs,
Kelly

Muppie's Mommy,
I've been reading here for the last couple of weeks, finding comfort in my own grief, and am just reaching out to see how you are doing. Muppie's story is heartbreaking and I just want to express my heartfelt sorrow and concern.
Katherine

I AM MISSING U TONIGHT MY BOY.I LOVE YOU.I HOPE U ARE OK.
LOVE MOMMIE

Dear Muppie's mom

Although the circumstances were different, my beautiful Rufus (the one in my "picture"), a half black lab and half Newfie also passed all by himself. My sister lives half a continent away from me and she has had very bad cancer for almost 2 years now. Rufus had a WONDERFUL foster mother (she cried when I adopted Rufus and we got a few times for dog walks). She was taking care of Rufus while I was away. One morning she called me and said Rufus hadn't eaten his breakfast. I told her to rush him to the big city about 80 miles away, where I lived and where THE most wonderful vet took care of both Gretta and Rufus. He did some x-rays and thought he saw cancer of the spleen, so he himself drove my Rufie to the University Vet School and had him x-rayed with their more powerful machines. Sure enough, Rufus had spleen cancer. This cancer is not a solid mass for which surgery can be done. it is a tangled mass of newly formed blood vessels and even a sudden move can cause a bleed-out. The Vet School called me while i was eating supper and asked me what I wanted them to do. Of course there was only one option.

I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN OVER RUFIE DYING, LIKE YOUR MUPPIE, SCARED, HURTING, AND WORST OF ALL, ALONE. i CRY OFTEN AT NIGHT SAYING "RUFIE, MOMMY IS SO SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO DIE ALL BY YOURSELF. NO ONE TO HOLD YOUR GIANT HEAD. NO ONE TO STROKE YOUR VELVET EARS. NO ONE TO TELL YOU WHAT A TRULY GOOD DOG YOUR ARE. NO ONE TO REASSURE YOU THAT YOU WERE GOING TO A GOLDEN PLACE AND NOT TO BE AFRAID, THAT IT WAS ALRIGHT AND THAT MOMMIE WOULD BE JOINING YOU SOMEDAY AND THAT YOU WOULD MEET YOUR SISTER GRETTA THERE. SOMETIMES I, TOO, HAVE MELTDOWNS LOOKING AT THE PRECIOUS BOOK HIS FOSTER MOM PUT TOGETHER FOR ME. CRYING AND BEGGING FOR JUST ONE MORE CHANCE TO SEE HIM, PET HIM, TELL HIM I LOVE HIM.

Muppie's Mom, I really don't think the holes in our hearts ever go away. We paper them over so we can go on living but they are always there under the surface. When you are feeling especially bad about Muppie, remember me and Gretta and Rufus and that we love you.

Gretta and Rufus's mom

Tears, tears, and more tears. I feel your pain! I know that emptiness. I know that ache in the your heart that feels like it's going to kill you. It's all so unbelievable. I'm so sorry for your pain!!

I HAVE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO SHARE.I HAVE A NEW DOG AND HIS NAME IS WILBUR.I RESCUED HIM FROM A HOME WHERE HE WAS BE MISTREATED AND WHEN I GOT HIM HE WAS SKIN AND BONES BECAUSE HE WAS BEING STARVED.THE PEOPLE KEPT HIM IN A CLOSET 24 HRS A DAY .BUT AMAZINGLY ENOUGH HE IS THE SWEETEST MOST LOVING DOG I HAVE EVER MET.AND THE MOST AMAZING THING IS HE LOOKS IDENTICAL TO MUPPIE.ISNT THAT CRAZY?I HAVE INCLUDED A PICTURE OF WILBUR IN MY POST.COMPARE THE TWO OF THEM AND YOU WONT BELIEVE IT.I HOPE YOU DONT MIND MUPPIE THAT MOMMIE HAS A NEW DOG.HE WILL NEVER TAKE YOUR PLACE.THERE IS ROOM IN MY HEART FOR YOU BOTH
