Six Months, One Day

I don't want to abandon "The Bootsie Files" ......Bootsie may not be with me anymore in the physical sense but she is still very much  present in my heart, and never far from my thoughts.   It's been exactly six months and one day since Bootsie left me.   Each day, I 've missed her.   I whisper her name into the silent night air, and tell her that I love her. Sometimes I "speak" to her, as though she were still here with me. Am I off the deep end? No. I'm not. I am just that positive that my little girl's soul survives her physical body.   Bootsie is in Heaven now.   She is with my dad, my Aunt, and my Grandma. My dad holds her and cares for her until that day when I can get there to take care of her myself.   The day Bootsie was scheduled for surgery, the morning of December 10, 2004..... I did a lot of praying. I spoke, also, to my dad, in prayer. I remember exactly what I said because I said it over and over and over again:   "Dad, if something should happen.....if God has to call Bootsie Home to Heaven, PLEASE, PLEASE take care of her for me until I can get there."  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  

When I had my reading with Sonya Fitzpatrick,(http://sonyafitzpatrick.com/ ) the very first thing she said to me was this:   "Your dad is here. He's holding Bootsie in his arms and he wants me to tell you, "From your arms to mine. He keeps saying this."'.  
Oh, did I cry when she said that. I cried big fat tears of relief, when I heard those words.  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  

I am convinced that Bootsie and my dad have contacted me numerous times since they left me. I've described some of the routes that they took to do this in earlier entries here. But there is SO MUCH MORE that I have not mentioned. To write of them all would be equivalent to the creation of a book length manuscript.

I even have some photographs that illustrate quite strongly that Bootsie, my Dad, and a few others come to visit  from time to time. I've considered posting them here.....but please understand the reluctance on my part to do so. They are so very personal to me.  The internet being what it is, anything posted can become subject to the opinions of anyone who comes along.   To be perfectly honest with you, lol, the opinions of those who do not agree with me interest me very little and maybe not at all.   On the flip side, however, part of me feels that I SHOULD post at least one photo. It may help someone who needs reassurance about their being an afterlife for their pets.   I'm thinking this one over.  

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After Bootsie's passing, and before Coco came into my life, I grieved heavily. In order to cope, I went online and posted Memorial Tributes for Bootsie.   I will post these for everyone to see shortly.   I also created a website for dog owners. You can visit it by clicking this link:  

K9 Link Gallery  

I hope you'll forgive the disorganization. The website is truly "a work in progress", and I add to it often.   In a nutshell, the site consists of links and nothing but links. I am doing my best to include only those websites that I feel are informative, or hard to locate. A broad range of topics is covered, including (but not limited to): Health, Nutrition, Holistic Care, Fun Stuff.......too much to list.   Please pay it a visit and let me know what you think.

If there is something that youhad hoped to find but couldn't, just send me an email by clicking on the "Email" link found at the bottom of every page. I will do my best to have at least 3 links for you within a very short time.  

Thanks for coming by........stay tuned for a listing of Sites where Bootsie's memorials can be viewed!
