It is I Pocket Dog,
stepping in for my sister Foley because, as the Doggyspace liaison to
Kittyland, The cat "Powers that Be" contacted me to say my friend and
fellow Massachusettite Purrrranda arrived at the Bridge.
We
also arrived for the same reason, kidney failure, an excruciating way to
depart the mortal side. Luckily Purranda and I had loving parents who
took our pain on themselves and sent us to the Bridge to exist without
pain and wait for them.
Once Kitty Judge Cotton swore her in, I
pushed through the herd of cats to greet Purrrranda. I waited for the
reunion between the many pups her mom had helped transition to the
Bridge. When they went to the big bowls for a salmon dinner celebration,
I took the opportunity to welcome her on behalf of the members of
Doggyspace.
We discussed the horrible disease that sent us here;
how it robbed us of our beloved appetites, how we became dehydrated no
matter how much we drank, and how it drained our energy to a nub.
Our parents also knew us very well and understood that a lengthy
hospital stay for either of us would cause us to spiral into depression
and be counterproductive. As her mom said, there was only one way to
make her better, and when she did, Purrrranda was with me, and sadness,
grief, and emptiness were with her mom.
I saw her brother,
Pawcasso, stamping his little paw impatiently, waiting for his newly
arrived sister to take her first nibble of food so the rest of us could
eat. She kindly offered me a bowl, which I gladly ate, both of us
having recovered our appetites after our long renal battle.
Before I went back to Doggyspace, Purranda asked me to check on a
playful Golden Retriever who passed over at the vet's the same time that
she did. I suggested she come with me, and we see together. I took
her to the central incoming and learned the dog was in my village. We
hurried there and saw the newest angels playing with dogs from his
family that preceded him to the Bridge. He noticed Purrrrand as the cat
who entered the River of Life at the same time he did. They promised
to visit one another often and help with their mutual transitions to the
Bridge.
I realized that Purrrranda's empathy for others, even on
her Bridge Day, would mean that she would be a valuable angel to have
on her mom's shoulder.
I am sending a big thanks to Purrrranda's
mom. She could have kept Purrrranda with her and benefited from her
empathetic personality, but she made it so everyone could, making the
world a better place.

Are you a trip hazard? Have your parents ever tripped over you? How often? Did anyone get injured
