FOR A SPECIAL FRIEND and a RAINBOW CROSSING and a Thankful Thursday Story


This is MAX.  Max has crossed his Rainbow Bridge, to be reunited 
with his beloved Amber, who left in January 2020.
They were best known as the DaWeenies of Florida, 
arriving there in 2004 as two little teenie-weenies, 
you could hold in the palm of your hand!
Both were blessed to live a good and long life ~ 
though it is never long enough, is it?
Below, a few images of the two together followed by a story.
A "thankful Thursday" story ~ of course, never thankful to have lost a beloved
pet ~ but thankful for the home, the family, the Mom he had, please read on ...
 

MAX, and Amber before, lived with Linda in Florida, I had the privilege to meet Linda 
once when I lived there, let me tell you about her ~ 
you see, Max and Amber had many, many siblings over many years.  
Community shelters would know to make a call to Linda, 
tell her of the older, the sick, injured and
ailing pups that none would adopt.  Those nearing their end of days.
They knew, without question, these pups would find a home with Linda.
They did.  Pup after pup after pup.  Adopted, cared for and loved, until
it was time for their crossing of the bridge.
The DaWeenies home was a home for all, and when that time came, each
would live on in the private Memory Garden, still cared for, still loved, not forgotten.
~ ~ ~
Since 2012, Linda has been the heart and soul of
Our Rainbow Friends.
Each month she posts images, edits and publishes
this blog in memory of all pets who have crossed their rainbow bridge.
Her devotion and commitment and love shown to so
many has been boundless.
To say thank you seems inadequate, to say I am sorry for your loss seems too little.
May all your beloved pups rest in peace, forever.

  7. We are also very sad to hear about Max and we're even sadder that such a nice person as Linda has so much heartache, but she has an extra large heart and truly loves every soul that crosses her path. we're most thankful for humans like Linda. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

  12. We were so sad for the Weenies' Peeps when we heard that Max took the journey OTB. We know that Amber and all the befores greeted him with much barking and yipping (Queen Nellie told us). Thanks for such a wonderful eulogy, we will stop at their blog to leave our condolences.

  16. Ann...again I'm at a loss for words. Thank you so much for this beautiful post and tribute to Max and Amber. I also have to go and buy another box of tissues...I've gone through 2 boxes this week. The tears shed for this post aren't sad tears though. They are happy tears because I'm thankful to have a wonderful friend like you. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
