Petwarmers: The Post office Noone hears about

Again, Here is a beautiful story. It made me cry. It is very touching and
I miss all my four legged friends in rainbow heaven. ( First, there is
Odell, a German Shepard puppy we raised through 4-H for The Seeing Eye
backin 1974, that long ago) The rest were, Reilly ( a shepard Husky we had
after Odell and was quite special, he really watched over me, when, I
lost my sight ,even when, he was old and had trouble getting up.) We also
had Finnigan, Fitzgerald and his Sister Zelda. ,Finny, was a mutt and the
other two were doberman's. I did not know those 3 as much, because I was
older and not at home much,yet, they were special. Of course, I can not
forget two very special pups, Topper and Chanelli, my first two dog Guides.
They, will always have a special place in my heart. Take care and enjoy.

The POST OFFICE NO ONE HEARS ABOUT

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month.
The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was
crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we
could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God
would recognize her.
She dictated and I wrote:

Dear God,
Will you please take special care of our dog, Abbey?
She died yesterday and is in heaven. We miss her
very much. We are happy that you let us have her
as our dog even though she got sick. I hope that you
will play with her.
She liked to play with balls and swim before she got sick.
I am sending some pictures of her so that when you see
her in heaven you will know she is our special dog.
But I really do miss her.
Love, Meredith Claire
P.S. Mommy wrote the words after I told them to her.

We put that in an envelope with two pictures of Abbey, and
addressed it to God in Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then
Meredith stuck some stamps on the front (because, as she said, it may
take lots of stamps to get a letter all the way to heaven) and that
afternoon I let her drop it into the letter box at the post office.
For a few days, she would ask if God had gotten the letter yet.
I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front
porch. Curious, I went to look at it. It had a gold star card on the
front and said "To Meredith" in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith took it
in and opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers, When a Pet Dies.
Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God,
in its opened envelope
On the opposite page, one of the pictures of Abbey was taped
under the words "For Meredith."
We turned to the back cover, and there was the other picture of
Abbey, and this handwritten note on pink paper:

Dear Meredith,
I know that you will be happy to know that Abbey arrived
safely and soundly in Heaven! Having the pictures you sent
to me was such a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.
You know, Meredith, she isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here
with me -- just like she stays in your heart -- young and running
and playing. Abbey loved being your dog, you know.
Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any
pockets! So, I can't keep your beautiful letter. I am sending it
back to you with the pictures so that you will have this book to
keep and remember Abbey.
One of my angels is taking care of this for me. I hope the little
book helps. Thank you for the beautiful letter. Thank your
mother for sending it. What a wonderful mother you have!
I picked her especially for you.
I send my blessings every day and remember that I love
you very much.
By the way, I am in heaven but wherever there is love,
I am there also.
Love, God
and the special angel who wrote this after God told her the words.

As a parent and a pet lover, this is one of the kindest things
that I've ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but
there is some very kind soul working in the dead letter office.
Just wanted to share this act of compassion
