Welcome to Merriweather; A Fairy's Gift's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Merriweather; A Fairy's Gift

Merriweather and her sister Angel Heart (who was born blind), came into my life the month after I lost my husband of 27 years. Two dear friends, David Walling and William Wilkins, purchased her and Angel for me to help shelter me from the storms that were coming my way. From the day she came into my life, she was a very special "nana" dog, who guided and cared for her special little sister for almost 14 years. As I am a severe epileptic, she also had an uncanny ability of knowing, even before I did, that a seizure was imminent, and would do her best to prevent me from getting into a bath tub etc until the "concern" passed. She also alerted me to the fact that I was filling with cancer (colon, a recurrence of breast and throat) and loved children. She particularly loved my granddaughter Jessica, who was born one month after her and when Jessie was here, she would prefer to sleep with her then me. Jessica was Merriweather's girl She became deaf in her final year and then, strangely, developed a form of breast cancer (I am in stage three breast cancer). With great sorrow and difficulty, I sent her home on January 29, 2012. Her sister and I are lost without her. I know that God greeted my sweet friend with open arms and a treat and that she now plays with my beloved Doug and waits for Angel Heart and me, just on the other side of the rainbow bridge. I love you Merriweather Pike... you were the best friend I have ever known. See you soon dear friend. WALKING WITH MERRIWEATHER Because you will not be forever, Hope against time though I may, I paint your picture in my memory, Eyes blue with age, muzzle gone gray, Because you walked with me in my Autumn, Puppy-clumsy, running free. As you grew, we grew together -- You have become a part of me Because you shared with me my sorrows Not understanding -- simply there. Often spurring me to laughtr -- My friend, please know how much I care. Because the years have slowed your fleetness, Though your spirit still is strong. I promise I will take more time now, So that you can go along. Because you do not fear the future, Living only in the now, I draw strength from your example Yet time kept slipping by somehow Because the day has finely come They told me just yesterday When I will no longer see You rise to greet me -- But in memory You will always walk with me. 11/27/12: Hello my precious girl. I think of you every day... so many times throughout the day. I miss you so very much. Angel Heart, your little sister, is failing quickly, although despite being blind and crippled, she still gets a moment or two of puppy in her and tries prancing around the house. I think, she will be joining you soon... she will be 15 soon (as you would have been). I am not sure how I will get along without her and YOU. You have been my comfort, my joy... my nana dog... my companion. I love you sweet thing. Enjoy playing in those beautiful fields Merriweather. I will join you soon. 1/29/13: Hello my sweet little nana dog. One year ago today, you and I spent a special morning together. I built a fire in the chimnea and put a rug down on the patio. We sat by the fire and cuddles for hours. You had all kinds of treats and kisses. Then we took a walk around the complex in the sun. Chris came over to pick us up and we rolled down the windows and I held you so you could feel the breeze blow through your fur and smell the fresh air. We walked around the garden at the vets before we went in where we sat together and I gave you one more treat just before the dr came in and sent you on ahead of me. I held you tight sweet friend. I hope you felt me holding you and knew that I never left you alone... I never left you alone. I miss you my precious Merriweather... I miss your nuzzles, your paw on my face when I cried, your caring ways... I miss you. Be happy sweet baby girl. I will see you soon. I promise. I will see you soon.
