Ferguson's story started when Rene and I took our new kitten "Cookie" to be vaccinated at the Toronto Humaine Society. Bored with waiting,Rene's mom who tagged along with us went through the cages of dogs just to see what they had in there. She came out and insisted we take a look at this sad looking dog who reminded her of a dog from her youth.
Without hesitation,Rene and I went in and it was literally instant magic. The sad looking Australian Sheppard was coming home with us. His story was sad as he was beaten and left on a short leash tied in to a tree on a hot summer day. He was a gentle soul that would never ever hurt anything or anyone. As the years went on his sadness faded and happiness was replaced as he went on with his new family. We were all happy to be part of his life and because of this he was a very spoiled dog. He especially loved his squeeky carrot. He as gently as possible would carry it around so it wouldnt squeek and when it did he cried as if he had hurt it. His best friend and second "owner"...lol..not literally of course was my brother Carmen. Fergie loved him dearly and would get so excited to see him. With many memories he aged and we all knew his end would come...we just stayed in denial for a long time..well..I did anyway.
Last Christmas, as very old senior we knew the time was coming. He was 15 years old and now could barely walk. He cried to get up and cried to get across the floor. He looked at us with those sad eyes again and it kills me now that we left him longer in pain for selfish reasons. We just couldnt let him go.
Until one sad morning,around 2am May 28th,2008 our beloved Fergie fell down for the very last time. He severed his spine and was now paralyzed. Sadly,and full of grief my husband and his mom took him to the vet and very gently and without his knowledge was put to rest. Just like that into the arms of heaven.
Fergie, my puppy. I will forever love you. We all will and still do.
Good-Bye Ferginator. xoxo
Mommy,Daddy and the Entire Family. We miss you.
A Silent Tear
Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I'm really still there inside your mind
Don’t cry for me now I'm gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, Ill never grow old
I'm in that place that’s filled with love
Known to you all,as heaven up above god bless you.
love theresa xxx

One Day
Dear Fergie,
As a grown person I know you'll never see this or hear me speak these words to you. But..here I am writing this..thinking out loud.
We had our first snow fall last night,the kind you would beg for us to open the door and let you out.
I sat at the kitchen table waiting for the coffee to perk and thought of you. How you would always be with me at this time of night.Sitting on the kitchen floor or waiting at the door to let you out just one more time. It was beautiful pup..and I said out loud..our first snow fall without him..and my tears came back.
I still cannot believe we are apart.Believe you are gone now...I just cannot believe it. We have a new dog now and we love him but he just isnt you and I am not sure if we thought that with all the love we had for you..we could somehow transplant that love to another. Its not the same and I always knew that. Daddy and grandma treat him differently too and I feel bad for poor Oreo. Please help us move on fergie. We seem to all have a hard time doing so.
Anyway big guy...hope you are free from pain finally and may you always know that we love you and wish you were still in our presence.
P.S Carrot is ok..Oreo is taking care of him for you.
Rainbow Bridge
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....
