It’s the first anniversary of Bobby’s ‘death’. I’ve been reading “There are no sad dogs in heaven” by Sonya Fitzpatrick. Yes, I still hurt from his loss, but this book, containing the most bitter/sweet memories of others who have lost their animal companions, has helped me understand that I will meet up with him again. He might even choose to come back to me, the the body of another pet, during my own lifetime – and sometimes when I look at Tayler, I see a little bit of my Beautiful Bobby …..

April 2, 2009 my beautiful Half Pence went to the bridge and I don’t think I will ever heal from that loss. I waited three years after I lost my first Scot Wee Robbie to get another. The circumstances around Half Pence’s birth and my getting him were strange and I believe with every fiber in my body that Wee Robbie chose to come back to me, as a native American Indiana legend tells, in the body of Half Pence. No two Scots could not have been more identical. Half Pence was the last in his litter to be born. The pup before was stillborn. His mother had to be rush to the vet for Half Pence and he was stillborn. The vet worked on him for over a half hour and gave up. Just as they were leaving with the mother, under the towel where the puppy was, they thought they saw a slight breath. Somehow this pup came to life after forty minutes.
The odd things around my Half Pence would take up to much space.
But I will say one year after he died ~ on the date of his death ~ I woke up to fine a heart (Cafe Au Lait Spot) on my arm where he always rested his head. I actually went to the dermatologist for I thought something appearing that fast had to be cancer. The dermatologist was amazed at the hearts perfection. The heart is still perfect today.
Sorry for the long comment.
I always loved seeing Bobby and I always could identify him by his pack he wore. Bobby was and will remain special.
Thanks for being a friend
