Well, Tasha ... as you probably already know, today's the day your brother, Max is having that "procedure" done. I know you and the other furbabies at the Bridge are looking down on the doctor who is performing said procedure and making sure everything goes well.
We still miss you ... you are one in a million, Sweetie!!!
It's still so hard. Remind all your friends to send hugs/kisses to their mommies and daddies. And tell Shasta the ferret to stop what she's doing and send a message to her mommy, Catherine!!! She is missing her baby so much and I'm worried about her. There are so many humans hurting on the forum ... please gather the newcomers together (or get the head Man involved) and help them send signs to their furparents like you did for Dad and me.
Love you forever!!!
Mom

Death is nothing at all
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect, without a trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well!

Happy Birthday Tasha!!!
Happy Birthday, my Sweet Tashi!!!
Today you are 14 years old. We miss you so much. Max was laying on my desk while I was typing and he needed hugs as I've been at work all day. He was asleep when I left this morning. As I was snuggling him, I glanced up at your picture which sits there and the tears started once again.
I wouldn't trade those years with you for anything.
Enjoy all the cake and ice cream over the Bridge and play nicely with all your friends.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Settling in
Tashi, as you know, Max is settling in and "marking" Dad's bags. LOL
Since you never did that sort of thing (you are a lady in the true sense of the word) I was starting to be concerned. But when I went to the shelter today to pay for Max and set up his appointment to be "fixed" (don't want him to contribute to the overpopulation of furbabies in this town if he ever gets out), I asked Melinda about it.
I told her it was your Dad's bags he tends to leave around the house (you know how he is LOL) and she said it was that territorial thing going on. Max is smelling all the odors Dad brings in with him so Max is putting his mark on anything that may go back out with Dad so that everyone will know Max has prior claim. Guess that saves him and he won't have to "pack his bags and get out" as I like to tell him. LOL
The biting has stopped ... yes, I did yell at him over it and I am not sorry as the bite hurts. Dad still says it's a sign of love and he doesn't "know his own strength" type of thing.
And I also cut his nails. He was quite good during that ... not as squirmy as you were, my love.
I know Dad said "no more pets" but you also know there are many furbabies out there who need a forever home and Max has wormed his way into Dad's heart. But you also know that no one will ever replace you!!! I sit here at the computer and look at your picture. You are still our Tashi! We will never forget you.
Oh, could you be a sweetie and get on Shasta's case about easing her mommy's pain? I'm quite worried about her.
Let me let you go, sweetie. I will talk to you soon.
Love,
Mommy

Max is here
Well, Tasha ... you did it this time. LOL
Picked up Max and he's here sleeping on the bed. I swear he's taking up the whole bed (remember how Dad used to get upset while I was away in Reno that time and complained about you "taking up the whole bed!"). Well, I think Max is longer than you and he does take up the whole bed when laying from side to side. Did you do that so I'd know what Dad meant??? Hmmmmm ..........
Dad will go sign the papers on Wednesday and he will officially be ours. Wasn't that nice of Laurel to "trust me" to do the adoption on Wednesday and not today? You knew his time at the shelter was drawing to an end ... I know you sent her a message. Thank you, Sweetheart!!!
Dad feels like Paul McCartney. He never agreed with Paul getting married again after Linda passed on. But never fear ... you will never be replaced in our hearts. How could you??? You are one of a kind.
We will always love you. Now we'll show love to Max ... I know he was someone's pet .. he's so friendly and has already claimed his spot in the bedroom window.
Watch out for Midnight, Kate's dog, who's coming next weekend. It's his time and I know it must be scary for the newcomers.
Take care, get some sleep, and remember ...
We will always love you!

I got your message
Oh Tasha ... looks like we're on the way to saving a furbaby (but you already know about that).
For anyone reading this entry I will go into a little detail so you'll understand that there are indeed signs from our loved ones.
You can read about the visit my first husband paid me in my post entitled "I'm as sure as I can be" of several days ago. Now about this most recent sign ...
I had been looking at a pic of a tabby that my friend posted. The tabby is at our shelter and he's running out of time. I put his pic away til the next day when I called the lady who runs the shelter and left a message. Next day called her again and left another message saying I wanted that cat ... he is a handsome fellow. Went to bed that night and when I woke up the next day, I had this thought in my head that "his name is Max". I am no good with names. I envy people who can come up with a really great name for a cat/dog or whatever but I've never been able to do that. I think I named my cat after my daughter's girlfriend ... I don't remember.
So is this a sign? I definately think so. You be the judge.

Finally
Hey there my sweet! Guess what??? But I bet you know already, don't you?
I finally got your Dad to mow the grass and then we planted the Camellia I bought you. I will be sure to keep you updated on it's progress.
Keep an eye on the newcomers? They will be so afraid and probably not know what's going on. You and the "veterans" need to take care of them.
Good night, Tasha. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!
