Gloria's Thoughts

I am at Rainbow Bridge with my sister!

I went to Rainbow Bridge today. It is so beautiful here. My Mommy and Daddy were crying when I went to sleep. I don't hurt any more and Peggy Sue was waiting for me. She is showing me around heaven, and we are being taken care of by our human Grandmother who is here with us.
I am not hurting any more!

My Last Vacation to NC and GA, and Good Bye to my Friends

Mommy and Daddy took me in the RV with them to go see friends in NC and GA. It is the first ever trip that I have taken without my sister Peggy Sue. I really had a hard time getting around this trip. I told my Mommy that I am ready to go to heaven and be with my sister Peggy Sue. I can hardly walk at all anymore. I am a big girl, and Mommy and Daddy have to lift me in and out of the truck and the RV. My Grandma is waiting for me in heaven too, I just know it. She will take very good care of me, and Peggy Sue. All my kitties will be there too! Mommy said so. We visited Elvis, Buster, and Miss Ellie Mae in GA. I really love their Mama and Daddy! They said good by to me, and had tears. I tried to tell them not to worry, that I am going to a wonderful place at Rainbow Bridge. My Mommy told me there were tears beacause humans are so selfish, and never want their animal friends to leave them. Mommy asked that Peggy Sue and I continue to take care of them, like always.
I am content to know that tomorrow Dr John will make me comfortable and my humans will let me go on. I would like to ask for prayers for my Mommy and Daddy, as they are already crying for me.

Health News

It seems that my hind legs are not getting any stronger, and the older I get the harder it is for me to get around. I have gotten to the point that I wait for my Mommy and Daddy to help me walk through the house with them holding on to me, or just by walking with me and telling me I can do it.
My long greyhound legs are hard to manage and slip out from under me in the rear. I have also started walking on the top of my two back feet. They don't always straighten out under me. Mommy worries and the vet says there is really nothing we can do. I stick pretty close to my sister Peggy Sue. She is having trouble breathing with her congestive heart failure. My body is ok and works fine. It is just these darn back legs.
I am taking a pain killer every day and that helps. Just wanted everyone to know that getting old is not fun.
