I finally heard from Bubbad today – I was starting to get a little worried when I didn’t see her post here and didn’t hear from her since Friday. They were hit with a bad storm and without electricity since then. She hopes to be back online maybe tonight so I’m sure she’ll tell you all about it.

Friday she sent me this poem she wrote for the little puppy that was lost – and the more I thought about it – I just thought that it was too beautiful not to share. She truly has a gift.

Jen~

I look up in the sky tonight
There’s a brightly, glowing, star
You slept from this life into next
Now I know where you are

Your little soul was loosed
From all its earthly bounds
You must have raced into the sky
You left without a sound

You were the first born puppy
From your mother’s womb
No one thought you were alive
It could have been your tomb

They didn’t know if you’d survive
But, they would not let you leave
This time was very different
There would be no reprieve

I want you to know I love you
I’m sorry for all of this
I so looked forward to your life
To all the things you’ll miss

You’ll never be a Champion
Or have puppies of your own
I cannot change the way things are
But I could bring you home

Moonracer, you’ve been given wings
Fly fast and very far
I‘ll see you on the other side
Cause I know where you are.

Awww, thank you for sharing that, Jen.

very touching, indeed, and gets right to the heart of it.
glad everything is ok, that did sound like a bad storm out there.
