I'm still here my friends. MOM helped me outside and we wanted to send you all a message. We are indeed still seeing beautiful in our time together. I was going to head to that Bridge on Wednesday. Butt I looked at my MOM and said, "Not today MOM, not today." Thank you for all of your wonderful messages to me and my MOM. She has read every single one of them to me. And I am indeed feeling the comfort prayers you have been sending. I am comfortable. You all are the best, you ALL are beautiful. I am sending you all nose pokes and big heart felt thank you.
I agree with Goose. I can't thank you enough. Here is an update on Goose. Not much has changed. He is still on that road to the Bridge. He was going to cross over on Wednesday. On Tuesday night Goose and I talked and I told him it was OK and not to worry about me. On Wednesday I had an early morning appointment and when I was done I picked Goose up at Bert's place. He greeted me with a little more liveliness and when Bert came over to me with his ball to play Goose barked at him. He also ate a piece of bread that Miss Vickie gave him. (He had not eaten since Sunday). He even got in the car a little easier. In all his actions he seemed to be saying "Not yet". So we drove passed Dr. Eddies. I know as Dr. Eddie said, it is close to Gooses time. But for now we are still together, for how long I don't know. I really feel that Goose will let me know. He is comfortable. He is eating as long as it is chicken I cook him or small piece of bread. He will not take his medicines no matter how I try to get him to take it. And I have decided that is OK. We are living moment to moment and a enjoy our time together. I will return to work at the shelter today. But he will be in good hands with Bert's Vickie. I'll keep you all updated. And thank you again for all the love and prayers and POTP you are sending. I know Goose and I preach Seeing Beautiful all the time and you all have really showed us that there is indeed beautiful in all things, even in the most difficult times of life.
Blessings,
Goose and Michelle
Sending you both lots of luffs and hugs. Glad to hear you are still enjoying your time together

I recall so well how Jade revived for just a few extra times to be shared; I shall never forget how she ensured that the parting was as precious as it could be and I read here that Goose is showing you the same, Michelle.
Goosie.... no one's heart can truly be aching as much as Mom's right now, but we have all known the sort of love you have together and you remind us of the beauty there is to be found in the most rending of times. You are a Master of Love with the capital 'ell'.... Blessings and wags,.... okay a few more ((((((((((((((hhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuggggssssssss))))) YAM-aunty xxx

Thinking of you Goose! Many prayers being sent for you and your Mama.
ReplyDeleteI have been directed here from Easy's blog and my heart is absolutely breaking for you. Having just sent my 9 year old pit/mastiff mix to the bridge last Friday and my 14 year old Mini Dachshund on March 19th, I know the pain all to well. I hope you find comfort in getting extra time with Goose. Both of mine passed in emergency situations and we didn't get to spend time together enjoying what life they had left as I always hoped we would. No words can be said to ease the pain or even fear of what's coming for you as the one who is left behind but I hope you will find comfort in the support of the blog community the way I have. Sometimes my only smiles have come from seeing everyone's blogs. You and Goose will be in our prayers. <3, Samantha and Noodle
ReplyDeleteHugs to both of you. You're in my thoughts!
ReplyDeleteGoose...you and your MOM are in our thoughts and prayers. We're so glad that you are enjoying your time together. You have given us SO much beautiful over the years in both your words and pictures.
ReplyDeleteGoose, you and your mom have such a special relationship that I know you will let her know when you are ready. To "See Beautiful" you need only to reflect on the love and bond of Goose and Michelle. God bless you both.

Dear Goose and Goose's Mommy,
ReplyDeleteThis might sounds like a silly suggestion, but stinky cat food, i.e. Fancy Feast, might get him to eat a bit. We are so sorry that Goose is not well, but he will always be your little boy.
Every moment is precious, isn't it! Glad you are able to enjoy more of them together.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your moments of beauty. Listen to Goose. He knows!

ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Bless you both! Thank you for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteGoose I have your beautiful see beautiful on my keyring. Keep seeing beautiful. Blessings during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteGoose & Michelle,
ReplyDeleteReading along, we know how difficult this time is for both of you - the two of you have had something so very special for so long. You might want to check out the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement - aplb.org. They are just wonderful with grief counseling, both for peeps who know they will be losing a friend like Goose, and those who have lost a furry friend. They have online chat rooms with experienced, delightfully caring chat monitors. The chat rooms are free - membership is optional. I have been a member for several years, ever since they helped me to come back from the brink when I lost my sweet Liz to insulinoma. I think there is no worse pain.
Michelle, as a pastor, you are probably closer to God than most of us. I'm just throwing this in in case it could be useful for you. The folks there are wonderful, and they understand the grief caused by losing a buddy like Goose.
Hugs and wuzzles to you both,
Ruthie and Bella the Rat Terrier (neither of whom writes in our blog;-)
We are thinking of you and wish you could be there for you. Just know we are crying, and sending you hugs and love.

ReplyDeleteGoose, we know you'll let your Mom know when it is time, but we are so glad that the two of your are getting a little more time together.
ReplyDeleteHugs, thoughts and prayers from all of us (Fi, Abby, Dr. Liz and Gary the Silent)
Handsome, loving, a good good boy ~ and yes, you will know when it is time for farewells. Until then may every day be a joy to you and your loved ones. We hold you in our prayers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOMD OMD Goose old friend I am sorry that I did not see this sooner. I am thinking of you and your Momma right now. I hope you can feel us. Enjoy this time together and know we will take care of her.
