I have waited until now to share some sad news because I havent been able to talk about it without crying and crying. Last Saturday morning Terry and I lost our precious little girl Penelope. She brought us 13 years and 3 months of happiness and joy. If she had been human, she would have been the perfect little lady. She was very obedient, very loyal and very disciplined. She always did what she was supposed to do. She was definitely a Daddys girl and she loved her Daddy so much that she would bite people...even me over her Daddy. She had been battling a heart condition for several months and we thought she was going to die while we were on vacation at the end of July but she bounced back. She had trouble breathing and she suffered so now I know my precious little girl is no longer suffering. I know she is waiting at the rainbow bridge for her Daddy and me and hopefully shes playing with her sister Brandi and her cousin Sadie. I know that if she were still alive, shed be laying at my feet while I am typing this. I miss her quiet presence so much! Julie Rappleyea was with me working at the track Saturday evening and she came running into the office and told me to come out and look at the beautiful double rainbow that was right over the racetrack and we agreed that my little girl was telling us that shes at the rainbow bridge and everything is OK. For those of you who dont love animals or who dont own a precious dog, you dont know what you are missing. Although you probably think Terry and I are silly over our dogs, since we werent blessed with any human children of our own, our dogs are our children and we love them as if they are human. Its amazing how one of Gods little creatures can bring so much unconditional love, happiness and joy to our lives. We had her cremated and she will have a beautiful cherry box on the mantle to match her sister Brandis. Terry has been very sad because he lost his little girl but we both know that she was one in a million and she was the best dog either of us has ever had. I miss so many things about her like her meeting me at the door in the evenings or following me around or reminding me at 10:30 every night without fail that it was time for her medicine and her marshmallow. I know that some preachers and ministers dont believe that dogs go to Heaven because they say they dont have a soul, but I disagree. They do have precious little souls and have a lesson for us humans if we will only listen and pay attention. They invented unconditional love and they are Gods creatures too, so I am sure they go to Heaven. Everything I have read about Heaven seems almost too wonderful to be comprehend but I believe that there will be animals there. I dont put too much faith in physics but I do believe what the physic Sylvia Browne wrote in one of her books...that every animal you have every owned or loved will be waiting for you on the other side. So, my little sweet Penelope, Mommie loves you and misses you and you will always live in my heart! Theres a big chunk of my heart missing right now but I know that you are in a much better place and no longer suffering and sweetheart RIP until Mommie sees you one day soon on the other side. I love you always!!!
