keeper of Rainbow Bridge...
I would like to introduce you to my 'Heart'. She has left her daddy and me way too soon and I know she is scared to be without us. I need you to pay attention to the following: Please understand that she is a very special sheepie, she has had a life of service and compassion and there are things you need to know. Heart is a mommasbaby and she may shurtle you if you get too close, too soon. She doesn't mean anything by it, it is just her way. She has her sheepie-baby with her, we made sure of that. So if you see her suck and paddle her baby, please do not laugh at her. It just means she is scared and wants to go to her happy place. Heart loves to piggy-dig! So you will have to bathe her often. She loves to be brushed. Please do NOT forget to pull her top into piggies and add sparkly flowers. Also, she will need a matching bandanna which, I am sure you have plenty of. And, I know there is lots of fairy dust at the bridge and if you sprinkle it over her, you will see her beautiful smile. And, please, remember Heart loves treats~~~so have pocketful any time you see her. I pray that you make sure Millie, Coz and especially Pearl are there to greet her at the bridge. If she sees her sisters and brother, she will know she is safe. If you can, have all the sheepies from her 'other' families there too. Her Forum family, her mom, her sister, her uncle and aunt. When she is in the midst of all that love, she will know she is home. Finally..... Please give her this message from her very heartbroken and heartsaddened mommy and daddy.... Our dearest Heart, We are so lonely and alone without you. But, we want you to know we helped you to leave us because we couldn't stand to see you suffer. You were always such a good little sheepie, we let you go for you..instead of keeping you here for us. We hope you can understand. Thank you for being....you....for honoring us with your kindness and unconditional love. For helping us through what life has dealt us~~we could have never made it without you. From Mommy: And lastly, my little baby Heart, please watch for me from time to time because one day I will be crossing that bridge and I will be looking for my babygirl. Please do not make me wait long, as I will have waited an eternity to see you, hug you, nuzzle my face in your beautiful coat. One day, sweetie, we will be together again. I promise you. We will love you for forever and beyond.... Mommy and Daddy |

| This has destroyed me...I am a puddle. I wish I were closer so you could hug Nigel and cry. He is good for that. I am so glad to have met Heart a few times and spend some time with her. Take good care of her bridge-keeper. She is a special girl. |
I am speechless.   |
| Wanna see a grown man cry... We love you Val and Dino. And of course Heart. Vance, Jen, Zoey and Caity |

Life can be so unfair. I'm so sorry- so, so sorry.  |
| As always you are such a good mom and now with those instructions she will be well taken care of. |
| Oh no Val...I'm so very sorry! I haven't visited here for quite a long time and decided to come and browse a bit today only to read your post about your Heart. Oh my gosh...just so sad Hugs and prayers from Colorado. |
| I have no words - literally. Both this and the mommy and daddy letter have rendered me mute. Crying my eyes out, and mute. Almost hard to breathe. We feel your pain. I just wish we could take it away. |
| We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier........on you, on us. She was very special indeed. I shall treasure all antics, joy she brought to so many and of course her lovely attire. What an adorable puppy with her special heart ,mark. She grew into the ultimate sheepdog, smart, always willing to learn and perfect something new, loving and friendly to all she met. Oh, did I mention she was also beautiful. Somehow special doesn't seem the right word, exceptional.......no, that's still not is. Maybe her name, Heart, said it all. She was part of all of our HEART |
| We are all shedding tears with you and for you..... I am so sorry. |
| Dear Heart, This was all so unfair to you, to your mommy and daddy Val and Dino. And even if some don't believe it to me too. I know, I just know that your Momma Dee and Uncle Duncan, and Sister Buttons were waiting for you too. I had a deep prayer with all of them last night to be there waiting for you. God speed swift little blingy girl. momma Ali |
| Oy...I'm crying and aching for your family and Ms. Heart. She was a sweetie pie! Such a good baby shouldn't be taken so soon. xoxo |
| Beautifully written Val....if I ever stop crying to you and Dino |
| No words here, just tears for Heart. I just can't believe she's really gone. I'm so sorry, Val and Dino. |
| I'm so very, very sorry, Val and Dino. I never got to meet Heart but I always looked forward to pictures and stories of your most beautiful, darling girl. My heart goes out to you through my tears. I can see Heart with sparkly little angel wings charming everyone at the bridge. Hugs and prayers..... |
| Val & Dino Cindy |
| There are just no words ... just lot's of tears for your loss. |
| That letter to the bridge keeper was very hard to read. I started, got up and blew my nose and wiped away the tears, came back, to read a little more, moved away to wipe the tears. Val and Dino, my heartfelt condolences. WE will all miss Heart. |
| Val, thank you for your posts they are amazing. You have been able to put in words all the things that we feel when we lose a piece of our 'hearts'. Thinking so much of you and Dino at this heart breaking time. Love Mim |
| Val and Dino, what a loving letter to the Bridge keeper, I am again crying buckets and will be hugging my baby extra hard. |
| I just keep crying and crying.. |
| sorry cant read this right now...I am so very very sorry xxxxx |
| Crying here in Illinois as well. Godspeed, sweet, shurtling Heart. Laurie and Oscar |
| Sorry for the heartache you are going through |
| Thoughts and prayers for you. You've phrased so well the heartbreak of having to say goodbye to your precious Heart. I haven't been official here for long, but I've lurked the site for good while before signing up. Heart was so well-loved and adored, I wish I could have met her. |
| Wow. Val and Dino hope you have peace. |
