HEAVEN ('MTV Get More' - -'Ginger') - June 18, 2002 to January 2, 2014
The New Year didn't begin very well as we've had to send our 'young at heart' 11 1/2yr., sweet, gentle, timid, wonderful, lovable pupper, Heaven, to the Rainbow Bridge. It is reassuring to know that she is now running free from her health issues of PLE, skin cancer (Bowen's Disease), arthritis, and most recently, the loss of mobility in her hind legs and then finally, her decision to slowly stop eating and drinking. Heaven, renamed from the song "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin that happened to play on the radio at exactly both occasions when we drove down the road to Bill's farm to pick her out/up or rather, when she picked her 'sister', our standard poodle....a sign?...of course!....hence, the name change.
Heaven, who was truly a gift from Heaven, was a 'Mommy's girl'. She was such a sweet diva with a gentle soul who just loved to be loved with many kisses. In the short 6 1/2yrs. we shared with her, she left a huge imprint or better yet, a 'greyt paw print' on my heart and now my heart is broken from her loss and I just want her back. It is such a tearful reminder when I don't see her 'roach sleeping' on our bed. Heaven, I am so grateful, blessed, and privileged to have had you....I miss you so much, it hurts....please wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge as I will see you soon one day....run free and catch that ball again, my beautiful 'girlie whirlie'....I love you.
Love Mommy xo
"She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion"~~~Author Unknown

So sorry for your loss. Your words brought tears to my eyes. Treasure your memories and know that the degree to which you miss her shows how much you loved her. It's amazing how much we love them in the short time they are with us. The time we share with them is never enough. Run pain free and happy Heaven @ the bridge.

What a beautiful tribute to your girl - she was so well loved and left you this message:
"And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard"
From the song that I was named after - "Stairway To Heaven"
I am at peace - I am free from pain

Heavensmom, what a beautiful tribute honouring your sweet girl's life while she was with you. You may feel your time was short with Heaven but just look how blessed you were, as was Heaven, to have had such a wonderful loving relationship that you both shared with each other, such a beautiful bond. It can't get any better then that.
Sending hugs and healing thoughts to you and your family .. Godspeed sweet Heaven.

I'm so sorry to hear about Heaven. The life you shared was indeed, a match made in "Heaven". I bet she misses her family as much as you miss her. Run pain free at the bridge. R.I.P. Heaven.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl. Words can never truly express how much our furkids have a part in our lives and how it leaves a hole in our hearts never to be completely filled. Know that she is at the bridge waiting for you one day and that you gave her a wonderful life with so much love. All furkids should be so lucky. *hugs

Sincere condolences for your loss of dear Heaven. I can only imagine how empty your bedroom must seem without her roaches,... and how unreal life must feel without her kisses. May her memories warm your heart and may her ever-near spirit soothe your soul.
Godspeed sweet girl.

s I am so very sorry for your loss of your sweet Heaven. It was good that you got to spend quite a few years with her. It is so evident from your post that she was well loved. You bet your boots she will be waiting for you at the bridge wagging her tail wagging so fast and lots of kisses for you.
Keep her memories close in your heart and she will be there when you need her.

I'm so very sorry. Heaven was in heaven with you, and she had to leave far too soon.
Godspeed Heaven.
