Thoughts on the last night of 2009

Woos & a-roos, Jack here.

I'm letting Mom do a post cause I think its kinda nice, even if it seems a bit pensive (mom said that's a good word for this). Im working on pawing a little more upbeat post fur a little later this evening- closer to 10 pm-- I'll be back, Jack!




On the occasion of a Blue Moon

Tonight, a Blue Moon, a rare occurrence of
two full moons in one month, ends the decade
on this last day of the year 2009.

Our Blue Moon Star, a rare and precious presence,
has gone forever from our sight, taking her
place in the stars in 2009.

My mind, seeking to make sense of it all,
sees this Blue Moon as a fitting tribute by Fate,
to mark the end of the "Blue Moon Star era" of our lives.

A New Year will bring new blessings and
new challenges, but tonight, I miss her, and tears
for my Blue Moon Star fall in the light of a Blue Moon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a rough year for the dogs with blogs, (and kitties, too), so many have crossed the Rainbow Bridge leaving broken-hearted families to carry on without them. Even as I write this, I just read of two more who have taken leave.

Please set aside a moment of silence this evening to remember and bless each and every pet whose paw prints are pressed into our hearts, whose soft fur and warm breath is only a memory away, who sit at the Bridge patiently waiting for that day when we come to join them. They took so little space on the earth, but filled all the space in our hearts.

God bless and God speed, sweet friends.
We will not forget you.

The family of Blue Moon Star, and Jack

Beautiful Thoughts to say G-Bye to 2009.

May ALL our departed FurKids be
Remembered with Love and Fondness -
and may they Rest In Peace at
The Bridge and North of The Bridge.

With Love ...

There have been a lot of husky dogs who come to the puppy park lately. Boy, do they like to talk! But they are all very nice and beautiful (except for one puppy who is not very nice, but he's still beautiful!)

We thought of Star when we heard the news story about the blue moon. We will be thinking about our sweet Dakota and Star and Tori tonight and all the other pets who had to leave us too soon this year.

Happy New Year to you and your family and wishes from us to you for a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.

Jack and Hu-Mom, this is a very lovely pensive post for the end of 2009. It's cloudy in Chicago tonight so I'm not sure how much of the moon I can see ... so I'll light some candles for Blue Moon Star and for Tori, too. And my wish for Jack, Hu-Mom and family is a healthy, happy, joyful 2010. I saw a Sibe calendar at Borders yesterday, and thought of woo!

Happy New-woo Year,
Love and hugs,
Elyse
