Ohhh Nancy.....have a few tears welling up.
And to know this is the first time you've seen a Cardinal since Brownie transitioned, seems to have a lot of extra special significance.
First of all, that note was guided through me by Brownie♥️
Plus I think that Cardinal not only embodied the Spirit energy of your beloved Brownie, but also your Dad and brother-in-law💖💖💖
So good to hear from you (and Brownie). Sending you love always💖

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
❤️❤️❤️((((Nancy))))
We have lots of Cardinals in Ky. I can't tell you how many broods of them fed their young and taught them to fly in my yard. David and i watched so many. Since he passed, Cardinals have come and gone randomly..... but a handful, literally , have placed themselves within my sight and my heart knows it's David tapping my shoulder. The heart knows what it knows, don't doubt it ❤️
Sending love and hugs xoxoxoxo
Hugs,
Jackie, Bo, Andy, Oscar, Phoebe, and the coolest feral tripawd kitty Huckleberry

When Brownie passed Sally (Benny55) sent me a beautiful dish with a cardinal on top. As some believe when you see a cardinal it is a loved one visiting you in spirit. Inside there was a note, which I still have and reads;"Brownie's light can never be dismissed. His star is eternal and will always shine brightly as he watches over you."
I have been in my house since 2017 and have never seen a cardinal. This evening when I walked out to the backyard a cardinal flew and landed on my fence, starred at me for a moment and then flew away.❤️
WOW! I really believe that was him Nancy. It's common belief throughout all ancient cultures that our loved ones come back as a bird. What a beautiful sight to see your sweet boy in another form.
Nice to see you here furiend. And you too Jackie. 
That is so awesome. 🙂 I love seeing Cardinals. I have talked to an animal communicator when Sassy passed but never asked her signs. I talked to one that was at my grief group that I went to when Snickers passed so suddenly. She asked Snickers what her signs to me were. Rainbows and lady bugs is what Snickers sends 🙂
Sounds like that Cardinal was Brownie for sure

I had a crazy dream last night! I saw Brownie and he had puppies! He was a proud papa. Which is a little strange since he was altered at age one. Oh well, I guess anything can happen on the bridge😁
Michelle, just saw your post. Can you tell me who is your animal communicator?
My Beautiful Beloved Brownie was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma on February 26, 2019. With all odds against him he lived an additional one year and eight days with amputation, love, and prayer. I was honored to be his mom, and I have never been so proud! He will live forever in my Heart!

We've had several dogs who have gone to the Bridge in the month of of March. As you recall, Brownie was leading the Saints to go marching in in March. Maybe your dream was about him welcoming some of the new members to The Bridge.
He was greeting them as "newbies" ( baby puppies) in parentheses and the angels designated him to show them around.
....Or......maybe just like some Bridge Tripawds decide to become a four legger.....maybe he decided to grow "a pair" and got married😉
Love to you Nancy♥️

Lol Sally. You always know what to say. I had to log in so I could reply. As soon as I did Brownies banner popped up, so I guess he agrees with you. Lol
Hope you and Myrtle are doing good ❤️

Nancy that is such a beautiful dream! I love that he sent you a little signal. And I totally love Sally's theories about what it meant! 
Hi All,
I know it has been awhile. When I checked my mail today there was a package from Fl. Without opening it I knew what is was. Brownie's Harness. I always get a lump in my throat when the package appears. Jaxsa has started his new journey at almost 12 year of age. His mom Nancy returned the harness.
So, if you have a font leg amp with a large dog the harness is available. All I ask, if a day comes when the harness is no longer needed please return it.
This all started because Tripawds was so kind to donate a harness in late 2019 and Brownie is paying it forward❤️
Nancy, we are sorry about Jaxsa and we do understand the loss.

Brownie is definitely the gift that keeps on giving, as you are our friend. What a lovely way to pay tribute to Brownie, and now to Jaxsa
I do hope you are doing well. Always good to hear from you.
I'm sure Kenzie is still the highlight of your day. I'm not sure how old sassy and Max might be at this point, but I know, one way or another, they are in your heart.
Take care of my friend and update when you can.
Much love,love ♥️

Nancy it's good to hear from you. I'm sorry that Jaxsa got his wings. He has Brownie looking after him I'm sure. Two very special dogs with legacies that continue on helping others. Thank you for sharing the love!
Howdy! Everyone is fine. Sassy at age 11 or 12, not sure being a stray is starting to slow down pretty quickly. Max now 14 has lost most of his hearing but is stubbrand and hard headed as ever! He gets that from Brownie!
Kenzie has stollen Brownies harness. I was curious to see if it fit her. Brownie was much taller and longer than Kenzie. Well, it fit. In fact on the largest setting it's a little snug. LoL. This tells me she needs to be on a diet. But she loves it! When she sees it hanging on the wall she will wyne until I put it on and she doesn't want to take it off. I tell her she can't wear it to bed and when I take it off she gets mad!l Maybe it's the smell of other dogs, I really don't know but it still looks brand new.
So, that's about it. Hoping to sell my house in a couple of years and hit the road. Kenzie is finally at the point she doesn't get car sick. Thank God!
That's about it! Good chatting with you, I know it has been awhile❤️

So glad they're doing great! You must be feeding them the secret sauce to growing old gracefully. I want some!
Too cute about Kenzie wearing Brownie's superpower harness. Of course she wants to wear it, it has Brownie and Jaxsa mojo all over it! Smart girl.
Now if you're talking about hitting the road in an RV, you know we'd love to know more about that when you're ready so keep in touch friend 🙂
Actually I am thinking a van. Don't think I have the skills for an RV. Lol
