Thank you for staying connected. This is such a rough time. I found it comforting to be here surrounded by people who TRULY understood every aspect of this journey.

Everything you are going through, we all get it. The intensity of the time leading up to their transition, to the actual transition itself, dominates our thoughts for a long, long time. Eventually that "replay" gets pushed further and further into the background, but it wull always be there. Why we do that, I'm not sure. While it's a gift to be able to release our loved ones from an earthly body that no longer serves the., it is an agonizing and gut wrenching process to find the "right" time. So much emotion and thought, so much stress and intensity...such an overwhelming process to have to deal with...grateful that we can do that for them...and wishing we would never have to!

It stinks to be human sometimes. We have to remind ourselves that none of these stressful emotions were felt by our dogs! They were just stayi g in the present not "agonizing" over one single thing! They are always teachi g us to Be More Dog ...even from the Bridge! Remembering that helps to free us.

What you will find with time, and are starting to see it now, the "intensity" (and we're talking a "good intensity") of all the joy you shared, the happy and loving times....all these great feelings will become dominate in time.

As far as being wuiet with the car keys....go ahead and make noise. Up at the Bridge dogs get car rides anytime they want! And they can stidk their heads out the window without worrying about bugs getting in their ears or teeth! 'No bugs at the Bridge! So when you pock up the keys from now on, just know that Madison is javing great rides at rhe Bridge! And she's still getting her seafood platter everyday!

Stay connected. We're here. Have you gotten any specific messages fro. Madison yet? Pay attention, she's still.making her presence known.

Lots of love
