Madame ZoZo here, reporting from the bridge. What a ride! The first
thing I have to tell you is that all the beagle buddies that have
been here for awhile met me in in this cool place. When I opened my
eyes I could see beautiful colors. This can't be planet Earth, I
figured, so they told me all about Rainbow Bridge. It sounded
wonderful, but I was embarrassed to get up with the hideous haircut
and Frankenstaples on my tummy, plus I was worried one of my bodily
funtions might act out again. After being reassured by my new
buddies, I did get up. Not only was there no fur missing, but no
staples were there either. Suddenly, my feet began moving, and I was
frolicking with everyone. There are others here, too, but we beagle
buddies like to hang together. The hunting is fabulous, and the
rabbits and chickens don't even mind us chasing them. I think they
like the attention. There is a place to get food whenever we want,
which I immensely enjoy, and no one says I have to watch my figure.
There's even chocolate here, and coffee. Cool, beautiful streams wind
around, the grass is sooo green, and flowers so huge I can roll in
them! There's so much to do and see here, and so far, no fighting.
Even the giants are friendly to us. Try to talk with a chow on earth,
and all they do is yell and threaten to eat me. I never liked
swimming before, but the fish are friendly, and love to talk. I've
got to keep this short, 'cuz it's almost time for group sun bathing.
At night when we sing, our aroooooos are admired by all, oh, and I've
got my full range back. My tummy feels like it did when I was a young
pup. We have some youngsters here, and taking care of them is going
to be my job. I'm so excited. I never got to have any of my own, so
now I get to be a mommy to these little characters.
The only thing missing is my earth family. I do miss them, but the
others tell me I'll be seeing them again one day, when they come to
get me at the Bridge, so I'll be waiting! I can feel a strange
tugging at my heart strings, and I think it's my Mom's heart. I could
feel her tender touches, but I couldn't move or say goodbye. Her
tears fell on my ears and eyes, and I wish I could make her
understand that I'm Ok now, and I know how much she loves me. I know
she was so kind to me, and that humans aren't all unkind. Usually
we're not allowed to write from here, but there are exceptions to the
rules. Others have told me about that tugging thing, but it goes away
after awhile. I'll never forget my Mom or little earth children, but
life takes us on many journeys. I just wish I Mom could feel my
beagle hugs and love from this place. We all wish our families from
earth could feel us still loving them. Well buddies, don't be afraid
when your time comes, 'cuz it just gets better. Taking care of
hoomins is a lot more complicated than this place, but we never
forget them, and look forward to when we can all be together again.
Our creator is amazing, and can do anything, so hang in there!
Love, kisses, and ARRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS
