Memorial for Dustbunny: For Lorrie and Family

This morning, my heart was saddened to learn that Dustbunny, Lorrie's beautifu beloved soulmate 16 year old cat now resides at the Rainbow Bridge.



After a long illness, Dustbunny passed on peacefully in her sleep, not awakening from her nap, curled up basking in the warmth of the stove after eating supper. As Lorrie writes, "Somewhere in her dreams she slipped away from her earthly prison and is now a beautiful sassy cat angel.


Dustbunny was an amazing kitty. Lorrie describes her intelligence as "startling for us humans." She playfully enjoyed flushing toilets, turning lights and ceiling fans on and off, turning on the TV using the remote, and able to open any cabinet or cupboard to hunt for a treat. She even was able to open the refrigerator door open. And even though she was spayed, her maternal instinct was so strong that when Lorrie rescued kittens, Dustbunny would come into milk and nurse and train the kittens.


A strong willed cat, Dustbunny was "sassy" and when she misbehaved, would frequently show her displeasure with her human parents when they tried to correct her. But just the sight of a spray bottle was sufficient for her to disappear in a flash.


Lorrie wrote, "For 16 years she was my sweet and loving companion and my online namesake. She was queen of our home and ruled it with an iron paw and tons of love. Good bye sweet angel. Watch for me someday up there and make sure you sass an angel once in a while"


Please join us in a prayer by leaving a comment for Lorrie and her family who are devastated by their loss. Dustbuny is once again restored to health and vigor as she waits for her human family at the Rainbow Bridge but will be sadly missed, forever.

Memorial For Maddie: A Beloved Angel Dog

My heart goes out to Joanne, who's wonderful canine companion, Maddie, crossed to the Rainbow Bridge this past Saturday. Joanne described him as a "wonderful Golden retriever with such an outgoing personality. The house seems empty without her." Grief is the price we pay for love, but not ever having that love to share is far more painful.

Only seven years old, which of course makes her loss so much harder for the family, but her sudden rapidly failing health was overwhelming and they were faced with that difficult decision, to give Maddie the final gift of love . . . to end her suffering. Maddie passed to the bridge peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.

Their other Golden misses Maddie terribly, but Joanne truly believes that Maddie said her final "goodbye" to her canine pal, Mikey on Friday when she kissed his face. Their cats also acknowleded her illness and passing. Joanne ended by saying, "What a hole in our household this loss has made. I know time heals but we miss her terribly.

Please send healing prayers to Joanne and the entire family by leaving a comment of prayerful well wishes.
