Welcome to Genni's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Genni

You started out a small black puppy who soon grew into a fine gray lady. I held you on my lap that first day and a unbreakable bond formed between us. Everyone said you were "Daddy's Girl". Each day you would sit in the window, and quiver with excitement then run to the door jumping on it, trying to get it to open quicker. No matter how awful a day it had been, your bark and love would pierce the clouds with sunshine. Far, far too soon, I was forced to send you back to God to wait for me at the Rainbow bridge. The world became a colder, darker place. Some day soon I hope I see you there, sitting on a cloud peering into the distance like old times. When you see me I hope you quiver again with excitement and run to greet me. Till then my queen play and be happy, free of pain. You have a friend there named Willy. Take care of him till his Mistress can join us. Love Always and Forever,Daddy July 2006 Sorry it took so long for me to do this, the pain was too great until now. You would have loved Nevada, with the warm sun and no rain or snow. Your still in my heart and I think of you every day. Love Daddy Sorry my queen. It had been coming for a long time, but your mommy and daddy are divorced. When we lost you, we lost the last thing we had in common. I am being well taken care of by Aunt Cindy. Her kitty Two has adopted me. I wonder sometimes if you are talking to him. You made quite an impression on Aunt Cindy. Too bad you couldn't have stayed longer and got to know her better. Love Daddy. Happy Fall! It wont' be long now till Christmas. I know that while you can't be with me in body, you are always here in spirit. I remember all those Christmas Eves where you would stay with me till I put all the presents under the tree. I wish you could be here again to help me.The other 4 leggers and your brothers will be getting presents from you this year. Love, Daddy. Nov/06/06 I hope Halloween at the bridge was fun. I miss seeing you dressed up. Even though you hated it,you were a good sport. We are worried about your brother Duncan. He had a mole taken off which may be cancer. I won't know till Wednesday. I pray every day for him, and Piper and you. Love Daddy 11/08/06 Wondeful news my queen. The mole taken off is a benign cyst. Duncan is sore but he will be okay. I am so happy and I know you are too! I think of you every day, Daddy Happy Thanksgiving! I can't wait till we are celebrating the holidays together, eating turkey and running through leaves again. Remember that cat that popped out of the pile of leaves and scared the heck out of you? Won't be long! Till then, Love Always Daddy Aunt Cindy found a couple of my schnauzer statues in storage. She put one of them right by the fireplace with your baby collar and the other on my computer desk with the collar you wore when we sent you off to the rainbow bridge. I have never been so touched in my life. It is as close to having you here with me as I can get. Until we are together again. Love Daddy Merry Christmas to you! We had a wonderful Christmas but it was tempered by hearing that your brother Duncan is ill again. I am praying again that he gets better. I so miss you at this time of the year. Love daddy January 12,2007 It is hard to believe that it will be three years in a couple of weeks. In that time I have thought about you every day and will do so till we are together again. That awful day I found out that you were dying shall haunt me forever. Clear skys and warm days my girl, Love Daddy January 23, 2007 I can't believe it is three years. Still seems like yesterday to me first you seemd like you had a cold, then the horrible bad news that you had cancer. I owe a debt I cannot repay to Aunt Cindy who is terrified of flying, but came three thousand miles in the dead of winter to comfort you in your last days. She is an angel. My best friend Mark, who without any sort of question left work to help transport you to the vet where we sent you off to the Rainbow bridge. I am forever in your debt guys. Someday my queen we well be together again. Hope your anniversary day at the bridge was joyful. I bet you have made a lot of friends up there. You always did love to talk to other pooches. Blue skys and warm beds Love Daddy March 20,2007 Happy Spring Gen! It's getting warmer and sunnier out here. When I see a rainbow up in the sky I think of you sitting on top of it looking down, wanting to chase some birds. I know how much you hated cold and loved to lie in the sun even during the hottest part of summer. I think of you every day Gen-Gen. Till we meet again. Love Daddy 4/8/07 I hope Easter Sunday at the bridge was as joyful for you as it was here for me. It helped to remind me that all of our loved ones will someday be reunited. I took you from puppy to grave and I am a better person because of it. Genni, I will love you forever, Daddy 5-23-07Hey there Genni-girl, it is almost summer here. I came across a whole box of pictures taken when you were just a few weeks old and the first Christmas picture of you. Your birthday is only a month from now. I am going to try and get presents for all the 4 leggers. Aunt Cindy said that if we were to lose one of the gang that I could have another mini schnauzer. If I do, he or she would never replace you. You will be daddy's girl forever. I know you would watch out for the pup. Till next month. Love always. Daddy June 22,2007 Happy Birthday Genni! Thirteen years ago you came into my life and filled a void I didn't know I had till I lost you. Some days I feel cheated out of years we should have had together, some days I am just thankful for the time we did get. A candle burns in honor of your birthday so you will know you are not forgotten. Soon we meet again. Love Daddy Happy Summer. Your residency here has been renewed and shall remain here as long as there is a website. It's hot here in Vegas but I know that where you are at the bridge it is always warm and sunny just like the summer days you loved to lie out in the yard and soak up the sun. I know you talk to my buddy Two. Even though he is a cat please watch out for him. His front leg isn't too well lately. I want many more years with him. Can't stand to lose anyone else. I think of you every day Gen. Love always Daddy October 3rd, 2007 Happy Fall my sweet puppy. I remember how excited you got when the cool fall weather came around after the hot stickey summer. You just ran and ran and ran your little heart out in the yard. We would fall asleep togther on the swing by the backyard pond until the sun went down and it got too cold for either of us. I treasure those long walks we took around Green Island. I wish I had taken you for more the last couple years I had you. We shall walk again in green fields with sunshine and warmth forever. I promise you. Love Daddy October 31st 2007 Happy Halloween Genni! Remember how you used to get dressed up in costumes that made you look so cute? The angel with the horns was my favorite. You brought so much joy and happiness to nursing home patients and everyone you met in general. I can bet you are still doing that at the Rainbow bridge. When we are together again, I will give you all the doggie treats for Halloween you can eat. We won't have to worry about your weight so I can spoil you rotten. Till we meet again my Queen Daddy 11/22/2007 Happy Turkey Day. Oh how you loved to sit near the stove on Thanksgiving and catch whatever fell. I couldn't give you too much turkey because it would give you gas, but I loved to feed you what I could. Not too long before the best day of the year, Christmas day. Love Daddy December 25th 2007 MERRY CHRISTMAS my queen. Oh how I miss you at this time of year. You used to keep me company while I put presents out under the tree. In my mind I give you a gift every year. Soon I should be able to give you a gift again when we are togther. Love Daddy January 1st 2008 Happy New Years. I wish it wasn't another year without you. Things are okay here. I wish Aunt Cindy felt better but with your loving from the bridge I am sure she will feel better. I miss you so much. Love Always Daddy January 23rd 2008 How can it have been four years ago. It seems like just yesterday you were sleeping in my lap as a puppy. Fast forward to your adulthood and you still slept in my lap though you took more of it up. This is the fourth year I took your candle and remembered all the good times we had. It wasn't lit because I never want it to burn out. I still feel the pain of you leaving me like it was yesterday. If there is someone you can talk to up there put in a good word for Mary. She is having more and more problems. We may have to send her off to the bridge to play with you and William. Cindy needs her silly girl more than ever. I would never have her in pain, but whatever God can do for her I would really appreciate. Love, Daddy..always and forever. HAPPY EASTER I hope it was a joyous Easter at the Bridge. It is always my favorite time of year, even more than Christmas. I remember the grass starting to turn green, winter becoming a distant memory. However the yard would still be muddy and you would go out so neat and clean and come back filthy. Your brothers were lucky. The mud just dried up and fell off. You on the other hand had to be taken to the bathtub and washed. You always looked so sad, and no matter how warm the bathwater when you got out I had to cuddle you in a blanket because you would shivver. I would give anything to give you a hardboiled Easter Egg. I know you are happy and will always be happy. I shall be happy again when we meet at the Rainbow bridge. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE GIRL! June 22nd 2008. Wow, has it been so long? Seems like yesterday you were a small black puppy with a little silver on you huddling in my lap. You grew up, grew to love me and then had to leave. I take comfort in the fact that you will be with me once again. With each passing year I know that day gets closer. So, in my mind I am giving you a big rice and hamburger cake with 14 candles. Daddy loves you always JULY 26th 2008 It hasn't been a good day my Queen. Aunt Cindy lost her silly girl this morning. She passed away in her beloved yard with familar smells and sounds knowing that she was very well loved. I know she is with you up there at the Rainbow Bridge. Take good care of her. She doesn't hurt anymore, doesn't have siezures and isn't afraid. Play ball with her and take good care of her till I can be there to take care of you guys. She passed away in her sleep. The only thing missing was her tennis ball she loves so much. I am gonna put one up here with you. Give it to her. Mary brought so much joy and love to everyone. See you soon Genni Girl Love always and forever Daddy November 20th 2008. Hey there Wild Thing. How is my Gennigirl. I hope you didn't think I forgot you. Thanksgiving is almost here again and I miss you so. I don't think you ever moved away from the stove when someone was cooking. Those times were so good. Wish I could go back. Bad news my queen, very bad news. Your Mom took Duncan to the doctor because he had developed a cough. After extensive tests the Vet said that he had lung cancer and it is terminal. I wish there was something I could do, anything to help the little guy. Mom will miss him so as he was stuck to her from the first day like you stuck to me. He is expected to come join you sometime before the end of the holidays. Please try to have William, Mary and yourself there to greet him. With the way things are going I will probably beat him there to the bridge to be there also. I love you so and miss you Love Daddy December 25th Christmas was tempered by not having you there yet again. Like every year, when the packages were down by the tree ane everyone was asleep, I stood there and felt you watiing there with me like you did when you were in this world. I remembered how you would stay with me until I came to bed. I miss giving presents to you and to my boys. Love Daddy January 1st Duncan made it through the holidays! So far he is doing good. So long as the little guy is healthy and more important happy I hope he stays with us a good long time. Happy New Year to you Gennigirl With all the doom and gloom in the world, people could use the joy and happiness you brought to people just by your zest for life. Love Always Daddy February 14th So far Doodles has made it much longer than the vet thought he would. He has suprised us in the past and beaten long odds, let's pray he does this now too. I left you a valentine here at the bridge. I know Aunt Cindy would leave one for her silly girl Mary and for William. I have the feeling that by now, Skye is there with you too. I hope he forgives me if that did happen. I failed him, like I failed you. When I took on the responsibility of your lives, I swore to protect you till your last days. I didn't do that and I am sorry. I hope when my times comes to cross over the bridge to see you, I will be greeted with wagging tails and happy barks, purrs and head rubbs, not snarls and growls, hisses and screech. I suspect it will be more the latter than former. I tried my Queen. I really did. March 21st One week ago today I got the bad news that your brother Piper was very sick. He managed to make it through till today when at five minutes after five pm he joined you there at the bridge. Knowing you my queen, you have a whole gang of friends go down and greet him. My poor Piper hasn't eaten in two days and was very dehydrated too. You know how he loved his cookies? He didn't even touch them this past week. Show him around and make him comfortable and have fun until I can join you all. May 24th My beautiful velvet puppy, I hope you and your brother are romping around like old times up there at the bridge. My heart still has a hole in it as big as the universe, and knowing that your brother will be joining you too is weighing very heavy on my mind. I can remember you all as puppys, as adolescent dogs running around like crazy learning about the world, as mature adults enjoying the pleasures of a nap in the swing on a summer's day with me. I also had to accept you were getting older, and grayer like myself but I always tried to push out of my mind that you would leave us. It is still hard after all these years not to see you in the window, shaking with excitement, barking at the door for me. It hurts as bad as the day I found out I would lose you. The thought of losing all three of you is more than I can bear. I honestly don't know what I will do after your brother Duncan is gone. My life will be empty. I do look forward to seeing you all again, and cannot wait to feel your fur and hear your joyful bark. Take care of Piper and all our 4 legged friends. Love Daddy. Love Daddy Love Love always and forever Daddy
