Still Seeing...

Hello Friends.

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

    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

  9. I 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

  12. Goose, 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.

  16. Dear Goose - you are such a love. Such a very special dog. You and your mum are so very lucky to have each other.
    There is nothing quite as wonderful as the love of a good dog, especially one as special as you are, Goose.

    Sending hugs and wuzzles for you and your mum.

  18. Dear Goose and Goose's Mommy,
    This 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.

  39. Goose & Michelle,

    Reading 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;-)
