Star was one of our passed puppies, and was our Tyra and Lil Jack's baby girl.
Star stold Leah and her family's heart's in Michigan. Star had a very short life, but in that short period of time, she stold a lot of heart's, and made a family's life whole. She was loved more then you can imagine, and missed even more. Star's life was taken away early, due to an automible accident. I guess God decided he needed another Angel.
I got a call from Leah on October 9th, 2008. She was crying so hard I could barely understand her. She just lost her baby. Yes i said baby. Star was one spoiled little girl, and was treated like her new mommies baby. My heart just sank, for both Star and Leah, as i sit on the other end of the phone listening to Leah tell me what happened. Star was my baby girl too, So i knew exactly how Leah felt. We were both crying our eyes out, and both missed our little Star.
Leah wrote me an email, and a poem about Star. So instead of me telling you her story, I will let her new mommy.
A compilation of what I think she felt and how I feel. I miss her Barb
soo much. I cry whenever I see anything of hers. I smell her coat and it smells like her. I can't bring myself to take her pack in play down or empty her dishes. A part of me just wishes I would wake up and she would be there. I loved her so much... It's so empty without her. I just think of all the what if's.. What if I didn't bring her or what if I didn't get her to the ER fast enough. It took almost 10 minutes to get her there. I think what if she really didn't know I was there and she thought she was alone. She would be soo scared.. She was a mommas girl and always wanted in my arms. I hope she knows I was there.. Her eyes looked like they could see me..when I told her I loved her and I kissed her, her little heart would beat faster.That makes me think she knew I was there.
Please Please Please keep in touch with me. Even though it wouldn't be Star a sister from Tyra and Lil Jacks next litter is a part of her. I don't care if I have to wait almost a year.. The way I figure her next heat is will bring delivery around the first to second week of June. Maybe even Stars birthday. Plus it's like I am a mom waiting to adopt and now waiting for the mother to have the baby.. It's pretty close to the same time frame...
Thank you again for your kindness and love.
A Tribute and Poem to Star
It is not the amount of time you had with a loved one but
the quality of the time you had.
I told my angel as she died that every time I look to the heavens late into the night she will be my shinning star looking down on me. She will be the Star shinning the brightest with the biggest twinkle as she winks to me so I will know she is with me still. Her loving heart will shine so bright to fill me with the love I need to carry on without her, strength to love another again as I loved her. For she is waiting for me, looking down with love and feeling no pain, waiting for me to be with her again so together we my cross through the gates of heaven... I had a dream tonight that it was my time, my day to arrive at that gates of heaven. She is there, my Star has waited. She says to me as I walk up "I have waited here for you, watched for you to come, waited to tell you I knew you were with me, I knew you were holding me, I felt your hurt in losing me but most of all I took your love with me. I have wanted to tell you that you made the right choice, I felt your last teardrop fall upon my face and then I knew it was OK, OK to let go, that it would be alright because I knew at that time I would see you again". "I love you momma and I am glad you are home". Then, we walked together through those gates knowing that together forever is how it will be!
In Loving Memory of my Star
My dream come true!
Star is definitly missed by everyone who knew her. I allso have to say, Leah, was the best mom ever to her. Star chose the perfect mommy. Leah came to all of Star's vet appointment's, before she was ready to go home, She stopped in for play time with her baby girl, and kept in touch after Star went to live with her. in Star's honor, we at b&h's know if Star could have just one wish....She would wish for her mommy to be happy. The only way we could fullfill's Star's wish, would be to give Leah a piece of Star back. So we have Decided to give Leah a puppy from tyra's next litter. This puppy will be Stars full sister. Although we know the puppy wont take the place of Star, She will help fill a void in Leah's heart, and would definitly make our Star's wish come true. So i would like to take this time out to thank leah for taking such good care of our baby girl, and loving her as much as we would have. I also wanted to just say a few word's to Leah....Leah this wasnt your fault, you did everything you could. the hospital wanted to put her to rest, right there, but you had them to do everything to try to save her. She knew you were there, She knew you loved her, and she wants you to be happy, cause you full filled her life with joy, and made her the happiest little girl ever. My lost babies, as well as everyone's elses babies that passed on to the other side of the rainbow bridge, are watching over her, until you two can be reunited again.
god bless you Leah, and run free Star, your mommy, Grandma, and doggy mommy and daddy all love you very much.
