My sweet,beautiful Abby, I miss you with all my heart. I hope you heard me today when I told you what a wonderful friend you have been to me. I hope you heard me tell you that I will love you and miss you forever. I hope you could feel my heart beating as I held you for the very last time and I hope you know that I felt your heart stop beating. I hope you could feel the love from your dad and from Kalee. We were all there with you, loving you and saying "goodbye". I hope you could hear Lily barking her "goodbye" from the truck. When we got home, Lily looked all over the house for her little, big sister. She misses you too my sweet baby. My life will never be the same my precious Abby, and that is a good thing. You made me a kinder, better human being. I cannot wait until we meet again...please be there waiting for me when I arrive in Heaven. I promise to throw the ball for you until my arm drops off! All my love dearest Abby...momJuly 21st,2008
My dearest Abby, can you believe how many new friends you have found at the RB? I won't worry about you being lonely...but I sure am lonely without you. How can 10 years go so fast, like a blur? I love you baby...mom

Hello my baby girl. Today Jerry told me how sorry he was and he said you were the best little poodle he had ever known. Everyone that knew you is sad and I am the saddest. It would mean so much if you could come to me in my dreams...maybe after you have been at Rainbows Bridge for a while. I am so lonely without you sweetie. You will always be my baby and live in my heart...mom
July 23rd,2008
Hi Precious girl. You are home with us again and it gives me peace. Dad and I picked up your ashes today. At first I was afraid that it would be too painful; but as soon as dad put you in my arms, I knew it was right and your remains were where they belong. I love you, dearest Abs, and I miss you like crazy. You are my "forever girl". mom
July 26th,2008
Hi my angel...Tomorrow is one week since you crossed the bridge. I can see you running and smiling, chasing the racquetball and bringing it back for me to throw again and again until you dropped near me with your tongue hanging out. Tomorrow we are taking Kalee to see Gretchen and I am taking you so Gretchen can say goodbye to you. Dad and I have started an "Abby's Garden" and I know you would love to dig in the dirt! We are using that fish fertilizer that stinks, but you thought it smelled so wonderful...yuk. LOL I am so lonely without you Abby-doo. I pray that you are having a ball at RB and I will be with you before long. mom
August 3rd,2008
Abby-doo, today is two weeks since you left us for the RB. I don't cry as much, but my heart still aches and I miss you every moment of everyday. I have been praying for a sign, and this week I had a dream about you. We were riding in the truck and you had your head on my lap like you used to do. I could actually feel you and I was petting you and you were so warm and it was so real. I woke up with a smile because I knew God had sent you to me, if only in a dream. I know you are allright, and I know we will be together again. Thank you for being a wonderful, loving friend, my Abby girl. I will love you forever and see you again. mom
August 7th,2008
Hi Baby, I am missing you and wanted to send that thought along with my love to you. I am trying to stay busy but it doesn't take away the ache in my heart. I will see you someday soon my little friend. mom
August 10th,2008
My dearest Abs, today is three weeks since you left. I still cry every day and sometimes the ache in my heart is more than I can bear. You came to me in my dream again last night, and that gives me such comfort. I know that you are healthy and pain-free now...my beautiful, happy, bouncing girl. There will never be another Abby. I love you. mom
August 17th,2008
Four weeks ago today I lost my very best friend...you! I have learned in those 28 days that you are never truly gone because you are in my heart and mind. And you will ALWAYS be there, until we are physically together again. I am still sad, I think I will always be sad; but I am getting through the days and doing the things that must be done. My sweet Abby, you are never out of my thoughts and I miss you and love you so much. mom
August 24th,2008
It has been five weeks sweetest girl. We spent the week with Gretchen and her two dogs, Ella and Sunny Girl. They are very sweet, especially Sunny, but of course, they are not you. I wonder if you are able to see me and if you know how much I miss you. I love you Abby, and I will love you forever. mom
August 31st,2008
Six weeks now, my little girl. I don't cry so much, but sometimes the feelings of loss and sadness just overwhelm me and then I cry. I never wanted to imagine life here without you, and missing you is a neverending feeling. Be carefree and happy, Abs, and know that I will love you FOREVER...mom
September 7th,2008
Today is seven weeks since you crossed the bridge, my Abby girl. I miss you so very much. LYF,mom
September 14th,2008
Oh my sweet girl...today is eight weeks. I can feel it as if it were today. My heart aches and I miss you so very much. Sometimes, when the light is just right, I can see you laying on the bed watching me. You were never far away and I can feel your presence everyday. I love you Abby...mom
September 21st,2008
Hi Baby, I'm sending you ALL my love and tons of hugs and kisses today. I wonder if you can see me and if you know how missed you are. I hope you are so happy. Time is passing, as time does, but I will miss you until I see you in Heaven. I love you my Abby girl.mom
September 28th,2008
It has been 10 weeks my sweetest girl. Oh Abby, I miss you so much...time goes by, and the tears have lessened, but I will remember you and miss you for the rest of my life. I can look back at so many memories today and smile, because you were so WONDERFUL. Dad and I talk about you everyday, sweet Abby, and we know how blessed we were to have you as OUR very own girl. Thank you for choosing us and thank God for putting us together. Love you FOREVER,mom
October 5th,2008
Hi Sweetheart. It is raining today, and I am remembering how you hated to get wet. You would run outside and quickly do your business and run back to the porch. Your fur was so fluffy after you were groomed, but when you got wet, it would be so curly! You were beautiful here and I know your are even more beautiful now; and I know we will be together again. Play hard, baby, and watch for me. I love you, Abs. mom
October 12,2008
Hi Abby baby...today marks 12 weeks. I just can't let a week pass without telling you that I love you and I miss you. I got an early birthday gift from Dad this week...two entwined silver rings; one with "Abby" engraved on it and the other with "Lily" engraved on it. Now I can have both my girls so close to me every day. I will see you soon. mom
October 19th,2008
Hi baby...Tomorrow will be 3 months since you went to the RB. Sundays are the saddest because you left on a Sunday. I sometimes just sit and let the many memories run through my mind, and they are wonderful memories. You brought me such joy, Abs, and I will always love you. mom
October 26th,2008
Hi Baby. 14 weeks have passed. I do just fine until I look at your picture, and then I lose it. Kalee turned 16 on Tuesday...can you believe that?! Time goes by and we move on, but there is, and will always be, a piece of my heart that went with you. What a little joy you were. Love,mom
November 2nd,2008
My sweet, loving girl, how I miss you. I pray each day for all the precious animals who have cancer as you did. You were so brave and you never lost the "essence" of my beloved Abby. Rest, play and keep an eye and ear open for me...someday! I love you Abs. mom
November 9th,2008
Hello sweet Abby. I have been looking into maybe getting a rescue dog; but, while they are all so cute, I guess I am just not ready. Someday, but not now. We are going to Jenny's on Tuesday and it will be the first time since we lost you. Everyplace reminds me of you and the life we shared. I love you and miss you baby. mom
November 16th,2008 I miss you my dearest Abby. I will love you forever. mom
November 23rd,2008 Sweet Abby...you have been gone for 4 months and 3 days. Soon it will be Thanksgiving, and it will be the first Thanksgiving without you. I thank God each night for the years we had together, but I always tell Him that it wasn't nearly enough! I sure wish I could share a little turkey with you and pour a little gravy on your food. How you used to LOVE that! Happy Thanksgiving my little Love. mom
November 30th,2008 It has been a rough week Abby girl...and I miss your comforting presence. I sure could use a kiss from you right about now. Dad injured his ankle, so I will have to take Lily out during the night and I would love to have you there with us...as always. Your garden is still beautiful; everything has grown well and the rose bush even has roses on it! Can you see it Sweetie? I hope so. I love you and I miss you so, so much. mom xoxoxoxo
December 12th, 2008 Happy, happy birthday, darling girl! Today is your 10th birthday...I never believed we wouldn't be together on this day. I wish I could hug you and give you a big kiss and a special treat! I miss you so much Abs...I think of you each day and I have so many wonderful memories of our years together. I hope you can see me and know what is in my heart. XOXOXO mom
January 1st, 2009 Happy New Year sweet Abby. This the first year without you in my life for a very long time. I miss you my little love and I wish so much you could still be with me. mom
January 21st, 2009 Yesterday was 6 months since you left me. I miss you sweet girl. love, mom
February 8th, 2009 I saw a black poodle today, it was a big one, but it still made me think of you. Lorna and Laura lost Tweezer a while ago at Camp 18, but after a day of searching they found her. She was cold and hungry but otherwise okay. Of course it makes me wish I could get you back too. But I know I can't and that makes me so sad. I love you, Abs. mom
February 20th,2009 Hi Baby. I am sad tonight and I would love more than anything to hold you on my lap and pet you. I am worried about so many things right now...Gretchen, Kalee, the future for your Dad and I. Today is 7 months since you left and I just don't think I will ever have another friend like you. You were the most wonderful girl. I love you. mom
March 7th, 2009 Hello my sweet girl! My friend, Kathy, had to send her beloved poodle, Dusty, across the Rainbow Bridge two days ago. Abby, please welcome him and make him feel welcome and loved. I cried for her because I know how much it hurt to say "goodbye" to you, and I will never be the same without you. I love you...mom
March 21st,2009 Happy Spring, sweet girl. It has been 8 months since you crossed the bridge. We found a photo of you and me in the hotrod...your head was out of the window and I was laughing. Oh how I miss you. I love you Abs. mom
April 20th,2009 Hello my sweet, sweet girl. Today it has been 9 months without you. The tears are less and I can remember and laugh about good times...but I still miss you every single day. I know I will miss you until we are together again. I love you my little Abby. mom
May 21st, 2009 Oh Baby, I missed yesterday! It marked the 10th month since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Every night when I go to bed I touch the box that holds your ashes and kiss the little black Beanie Baby Poodle that I got because it reminds me so much of you. Lily has become my constant buddy...I think she knew how much I would need her when you left, and she brings me so much comfort and joy. I miss you so much, Abby, and of course I will love you forever. mom
June 20th, 2009 Do you hear my prayers? Everyday I ask Jesus to hold you for a bit and tell you how much I miss you. This is the 11th month without you...I can hardly believe that much time has passed. I can still feel your soft curly hair and feel your sweet kisses. I love you, dear Abby, and one day we will be together again. mom
July 20th, 2009 Hello baby. Stop playing for a minute and feel the love I am sending to you. One year ago today you left me to cross the Rainbow Bridge. You took a piece of my heart with you and I have cried many tears. But I have also laughed at so many wonderful memories of our time together. I know we will be together again for eternity. I love you, Abs. mom
August 22nd,2009 Hi my sweet,sweet Abs. Just want to send my love up to you and tell you I have not forgotten and I never will. I love you and I miss you. mom
September 27th,2009 Some days I really miss you, my Abby girl. Today is on of those days. It is a beautiful Fall day, and I can picture you running after your tennis ball until you drop in the shady grass. I miss our time together so very much. I love you. mom
December 25th, 2009 Happy 11th birthday...I'm a bit late. Merry Christmas my darling girl. Oh how I wish you were here with us. My heart still aches with missing you, sweet Abby and I still cry when I think of you or hold your ashes. Sometimes I hold the racquetball that you loved to chase because it has your little tooth marks on it. I pray that you are waiting to greet me when I get to Heaven. I loved you the first time I held you...I love you today...and I will love you forever. mom
May 9th,2010 It's Spring, Baby, and today is Mother's day. I am missing you so much my little girl. I pray that Jesus is giving you love until I can do it myself. Play hard sweet Abs...I love you and miss you; but just for a little while. mom
July 20th, 2010 Oh my precious Abby, it has been two years since you crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I miss you as much today as I did on the Sunday you left. Your ashes rest above my head every single night, but oh how I wish you could be here for real. To touch your soft curls again and feel your sweet kisses on my face would give me the greatest joy. I will love you forever. mom
June 9th,2011 Hi baby! Kalee is about to graduate from high school on Monday night. Oh how I wish you were here so I could have a photo of Kalee, Lily and YOU! I miss you to this day sweet girl...I know I will until I can pick you up at Rainbow Bridge and take you Home with me. I love you my dearest Abby. mom
July 20th, 2011 My sweet girl, how I still miss you. Each night I sleep with your ashes, your ball, your brush and your last bottle of water above my head. Three years have passed and your special garden has really grown. Every time I pull a weed or prune a flower I think of my dear little Abby. Play hard and have fun until we are together again. I love you...mom
