Tom loves all his girls (dogs) ........ But "Maggie" is special.... she is to everybody. Tom loves her so much that he wants her ashes buried with him......
It kills him to think of the day she won't be with us........ He found this today on the trapper forum...He wanted me to copy and keep it.... So I decided to share it with all of you.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Hi cyn,
I read your post on the alz.org forum and started reading your blog. I posted a comment for you there about you, your Tommy, the girls, etc. and how you are a very strong, caring, loving and tuff little cookie.
I started reading your blog yesterday and couldn't stop reading until I finished here today.
What a life you have lived and shared together.
You have a very involved and connected family.
I have had two lab mixes in the past, that look very much like your Maggie. Best dogs I've ever had as part of my family.
You've shown photo's of your new family member, Sarah, but didn't tell us how you adopted her. Just curious. I also just lost my girl Sarah. Oh how I hate this part. Losing them when they've been with me into their late teen years.
Sorry, but I wasn't raised in the hunting, trapping, skinning, shooting critters lifestyle, so I have to rush through those posts and images. But it seems second nature to those that have and I'm happy that you eat what you kill and don't just kill God's wonderful creatures for the sport of it.
I know that this blog is to document the lighter, better, good times, but I know from experience caring for my mom for the past twelve years through this monster of a disease, that the bad times can be very difficult and make one almost wacked out ourselves.
I noticed in one of your photos that it looks like you suffer with arthritis in your hands, thats gotta hurt. It probably helps that you keep active and work as hard as you do, keeping those joints moving.
Well I better stop or my comments will be as long as your blog.
Just wanted to tell you that I think you are an incredible woman and human being.
I'll be watching for more adventures.
Best wishes for the rest of this journey. BeckyP
Becky.....Thank You..... I seen your post on the Alz. Site. I left a brief response there.
Our girls keep us both going. We got Sarah from an ad we seen in the local paper. We went to just look at the pups but when Tom picked up Sarah I said she's going home with us. We haven't regretted it. They are just amazing.....
I'm sorry for your loss. (Sarah) I don't like that part either........
I also have been BLESSED with an amazing family and could NOT do this without them or God.
Tom at times seems to know all I do but mostly now he is quite clueless. It's weird when he use to know my thoughts and now he doesn't even know his own....
It gets pretty lonely as Tom and I use to do EVERYTHING together.....and even if we do something physically together now days he's still in his own little world....
I guess the blog is a release for me.... I can take a day or an incident and put it in a better place and leave it there and than I'm ready to see what new day will bring.
I'm starting another blog "Caring For Tom" to tell the rest of the story........... It needs to be told...people need to be educated........people need to know young people get it too and how it effect so many lives.......
oh there I go......LOL Becky...... Thank You!
