Love you Emily!! Always and Forever....

Today's post is a sad one, as my little Yorkie Emily has gone to be with the Lord. She passed away Monday night around 8pm. These last two days have been VERY difficult for me but I am SO thankful that God blessed me with my little baby for 14 wonderful years and even allowed me to be holding her as she took her last breath. I am so thankful that she passed away at home, in my arms.

This is my favorite photo of her. I took it right after I had given her a bath. She hated her baths but would prance around afterwards like she knew she was pretty! LOL!! She was SO much fun and SO loving. They say you don't own a Yorkie, a Yorkie owns YOU! How true that is... She had me wrapped around her little paw, that's for sure. I know my little one is in a better place now and that comforts me a great deal. I thought I share this little story with you, that my friend Cathy sent me yesterday...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that
pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our
special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor.
Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we
remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are
happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very
special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body
quivers. Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,
you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy
kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and
you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from
your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

That just warmed my heart. I'm so thankful to have such good friends and a wonderful family to help me get through this. I'm sorry to have started your day on such a sad note, but I wanted to honor my little girl with a post all her own! Love you Emily!! ALWAYS and FOREVER... Mommy xxxxxxxx
