Welcome to Roxie's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Roxie

Roxie, my pretty girl. I love you and miss you so much more than I can ever express. On Friday 08/08/08, I had to make one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make in my life. I wanted to keep you with your little sister Miranda and your daddy (who also miss you more than you know) but I didn't want your life to end with you struggling and the so very sad look in your eyes.When I knelt to pet you and snuggle that morning the look in your eyes was so different than any looks I had ever gotten from you. I know if you could have talked to me you would have told me you were very tired and your hips and legs hurt. So my baby girl I did what I thought you wanted and let your journey continue in a place where I am sure you are chasing those bunnies and squirrels again! I am sure you are enjoying those wonderful breezes and playing with your other sister and brother Brandy and Gizmo. I am sure they were so happy to have you with them again! I won't ever forget the walks in the park and you jumping in the creek. Miranda misses jumping up on you on our walks every morning, poor little thing she doesn't know where you are. There are so many memories that I could go on forever....You were my best friend through everything and always such a good girl for the 13 years we were together. If I could bring you back today I would. We all miss you so much and thank you so so much for all the happiness and love you gave us all. God bless and keep you my pretty girl. 8/21/08. Hello my pretty baby girl! I just wanted to tell you that your furry friends at Rainbow Bridge must be very special because I have received all kinds of special words and thoughts from all the Mommy's and Daddy's that have lost their furry friends too. I picked up your ashes from the Vet's office and they all missing you too. Last night was very hard for me for some reason, I just kept missing you every where in the house and yard. Miranda wanted to play big ball so we went out and played for a little while and she looked at me as if to say"whats wrong mommy?" I know she misses tormenting you and bitting your heels and tail! You sure were good with her even when I am sure you didn't feel like being messed with. Run and play today baby, and know that I love you and miss you so much. 08/23/08 Well Roxie its Saturday and this morning when I got up and came down to let Miranda out, it seemed so weird not going to the front door to let my baby girl out there to smell around and enjoy the morning. I miss you terribly and wonder if you are enjoying the rainbow bridge and all your new friends. I wish you were here because the house still doesn't seem the same. I miss you girl and love you so so much. 08/28/08 Good Morning my Roxie girl, Its been a few days and I just wanted to say hello and to let you know that I am still missing my baby girl so much. The tears don't come as much but as the weather starts changing and I think the of the Fall coming I know how you loved the cooler days and nights. O how you loved the fact that we start wearing long sleeves and sweatshirts. The look on your face like "O Boy, I can play and bite on Mom's arms and rough house now!" But of course that was your younger days too, not so much lately. With all that wonderful hair and coat of yours the cooler weather was just heaven to you. Just to run and play and lay around in the yard and enjoy the change of the seasons, you just would light up and look at me like this is the best Mom. This will be a very hard Autumn for me, the hardest in lots of years but I know you are so much happier at the rainbow bridge so I will try to remember that when I miss you most. I love you baby girl and miss you so much more! 9/06/08 Oh my pretty girl, how I miss you so each day. I know you are so much happier now that you can run and play but it doesn't make me miss you any less. Every time the little midget dog and I start playing, I can't help but think of you and how you used to bark and jump at her when she came running by you. O you just don't know how I loved you and miss you daily! Or how every morning when I put the leash on Miranda and open that garage door to take our walk the look on her face still puzzles her and leaves her wondering where is our Roxie? Our beautiful old lady! We miss you so...I guess I am repeating myself, but baby girl I love you and miss you so and I guess I always will. Love ya, Mom 9/14/08 Well my pretty baby girl, its Sunday morning and its been a little over a month since that terrible day that you left us. I drug out some boxes of old pictures on Friday night to see how many pics I had of a younger playful Roxie. O did I find some of the best pictures of you as a baby. Even as pretty as you were as a graceful old lady, you were just so darn cute as cuddly, fluffy ball of fur! I found some of you with your dear old friend and my beautiful BJ. She was such a good kitty and never even gave you a bit of trouble even as a pup. I have one of you two sitting under the xmas tree just like the presents you were to me. I love and miss you both and its so hard to believe BJ has been gone over 10 years now. I bet you found her at the bridge laying under some tree enjoying the breeze didn't you? She probably gave you a soft meow and was so happy to see you. I have a couple of pictures of you snuggled on the bed and sleeping away. I had forgotten how you like to snuggle in the bed since the last several years you weren't able to even get up on the bed. Oh and I have one of you sitting in the kitchen chair...How funny you are!!! -)) You big old girl sitting up in a wooden chair!! O baby, I hope you are happy and I still wish you were here....Love and bless you, Mom. 08/08/12 Roxie Girl, I can't believe its been 4 years and I still miss you like it was yesterday! I love you so and miss you more!! 10/15/08.. Hi my sweet baby Girl, I know its been a little while since I came to talk but that doesn't mean I don't still think of you everyday. You will never believe what I found last night tucked away in a drawer I had forgot all about. I came upon one of the pair of shorts I wore a lot when we used to go for our early morning walks. You used to get sooo excited and just love those walks thru the park and you jumping in the creek! You were such a good girl running thru that park without the leash and whenever a car would come along you would stop and come to me just like you understood! Then at the end of the park entrance you would stop and wait to have the leash put back on to finish the walk thru the neighborhood. Well I also wanted to tell you that your Daddy and I have been doing some looking at a puppy. We thought we had an 18 mth old Corgi to adopt but that didn't work out. So now we are thinking ....not sure what we will do but I do know I will never be able to replace you and never stop thinking about my sweet pretty baby girl. I love you Rox. 10/28/08 Hi my pretty Roxie, I just wanted to tel you that on 10/17/08 we picked up a new little puppy from a Corgi breeder. He was only 8 weeks old and his name is Max. He is a tri-color just like you little brother Gizmo and is just so cute. We are having some troubles because he has been sick and hopefully will get better soon. But I just wanted you to know that Miranda has a new playmate and we still miss you dearly. I love you and miss you baby, Love Mom 06/10/09 Hello my beautiful Roxie Girl. I know its been some time since I wrote to you but I just read a story a lady wrote about the longest night and her wonderful furry friend. She had to come to the same decision I made back in Aug 08 and I thought of how I still miss you and remember our last night together just like it was yesterday! I wanted you to know that your sister Miranda has changed so much since we got her little brother Max. He is quite the character and terroizes her just as Miranda did to you. You would be proud to know that your example of such a good dog has finally rubbed off on her. She loves to go for walks still but she acts so much more like you than you would believe. We can go out in the front yard and she doesn't take off and I just know that is because she remembers her big sister and how she would stay in the yard and listen to Mom and Dad. She misses you just like I do and I still don't think a day goes by when I don't think of you and cherish all of the wonderful times we spent together. I love you my pretty girl and hope you are happy and wish you were here to meet Max and all of his craziness. I love you baby, Mom 08/08/09 Well my baby girl its been a whole year and I still think of you every day. The hurt and loss it more bearable but I miss you so. I love you new little brother Max to pieces and of course Miranda but there is something still missing and I suppose there always will be. I can't imagine how much more slowly and how much more you would be hurting if you were still with us this year later so I am glad that you are in a happy place and feeling much better. Just know I love you and miss you so soo much! Take care my beautiful baby girl, I love you! Mom 02/02/10 Roxie, its been awhile since I had been here to visit you but just wanted you to know that I still think of you every day. I have a great picture of you on my desktop and look at you and remember what a great dog you were! I love you and miss you so! Love, Mom 08/08/11 Well my sweet baby girl, its been 3 years and I still think of you often and talk about all your funny antics! I know you are in the best place ever but wish so much you were here with your Dad and Max and Miranda!! Please know I love you and miss you as always! 07/23/12 Oh my sweet Roxie girl, so much has changed with the years since you left us!! But one thing still stays the same... I still miss you and know I always will! I just wish there was some way I could have kept you with me and without you hurting like your were!! But I know that is impossible and so I I will continue to think and love you as I always have! You little sister Miranda would make you so proud, she is such a sweetheart and Max continues to annoy everyone with his daily barking and antics!! He is a great liitle guy but I would give anything to have you with us!! So I just wanted to say hi baby girl and I love and miiss you endlessly!! Love Mom!
