Good Morning Good News !!!! Thursday, April 30, 2015



Happy birthday to my dad ... he’d be 17 today !!!   




and to my grandma ...


she be ... well there ain’t nuf fingers and toes round here to count that much !!!!

I miss my dad .... a whole lot ... he was a really cool dude ....  I sure wish he was still here to run the refuge ....  He must a been about my age when he took over ...  I’ll be number 4 soon ...  my how time files ...  I’m getting old already !!!   


I wish daddy had been able to stay here longer on planet earth to teach me more about running a refuge ....  but his body had had a tough time here ....   and now it’s been three years since he went to Rainbow Bridge. 

Me and gramdmom ... we both miss him whole bunches. 


We went and satted on this nice bench that Uncle Ron built for us ..... it’s on a hill overlooking our Rainbow Bridge Cemetery ....   It’s very peaceful and nice .... and listen to those lovely wind chimes ....

I knew I could hear my dad talking to me ....   I talk to him when I need help running the Refuge ... He’s so smart .... and he was so good with people ..... 

Did you know he invented the Spokes Animal program ?  And it was his idea to teach everybody about those of us who are Differently Abled ?  I think he did a lot to help change the world ....   I hope I can follow along in his paw prints ...
