Hi Everybody in the whole world. This is Mazie Grace a speakin'. I know ya'll all know that there has been lotsa sadness in our house lately. Mommy has been real sad now that Lucy Margarite has gone to heaven. I wish we could find a way of gittin' mommy to unnerstand that Lucy is still here. She got her wings last week and she visits with us everyday. Plus, she and Ricky both curl up with mommy when she goes to sleep. Dang...I was hopin' I'd git the pillow next to mommy but looks like Lucy & Ricky still have first dibs! It really sucks bein' little!
Last week them nice people from the Veterinary Referral and Critical Care Hospital called and said that mommy needed to come by. Mommy 'xplained to us that when we go to heaven, we don't need our foxy bodies anymore. See, in heaven, everything you gots is brand spankin' new! Plus, you get some super-dupery fancy wings. So, mommy had Lucy cremated. I ain't sure what that means but all I know is that mommy started cryin' when the people from VRCC called. She went to git Lucy real fast 'cause she said she wanted to bring Lucy home. When she got there, the nice lady at the front desk said they had somethin' real special for mommy.
See, them nice people at VRCC had made a paw print of Lucy's paw in some plaster after she went to heaven. They painted it all glittery pink and put some pretty beads in it. When mommy saw it, she started to cry real hard. She couldn't even talk to the nice lady to say thanks. Just think...Lucy's paw was right there and we git to keep it for ever and ever! Ya know, many times that very paw slapped me upside the head and nearly knocked me silly. Wow...
I'm gonna always bow down and honor this paw print for ever and ever and ever!
So now Lucy and Ricky have a very special place in our house. Mommy says she wants everybody that comes to our house to know that they is still very much a part of our family. So, she has their ashes in our Secretary, next to their wedding picture. Not me or any of my brothers and sisters are allowed to go near the stuff inside the Secretary. It's got big doors with glass windows on it that keep us from messin' with the stuff inside. So we just all look at it every once in a while. Plus, Lucy and Ricky still slap us around if we git to close to the stuff in that cabinet...they watch over everything and all of us. I guess we is real lucky to have such good angels a watchin' over us.
