A Letter From The Bridge

By John Meissner

Good Morning Johnny,

I hope you slept well. I had a dream last night. I dreamed you

and I were at the beach together. I was walking across the sand

going right up to the water's edge having fun like I always did.

And there you were too. You had that look on your face like

you always did that said how much you loved me

how proud of me you were. It made me feel so special.

Then you reached down petted me picked me up kissed me

and I kissed you back. You put me down and we headed home,

you in the lead me right behind you. I even ran a little bit.

Then I woke up. I thought-"What a wonderful dream-it felt so

real it was just like being back home with you!"

Johnny I so love it here at the bridge. I get to play with Sandy Pal Mutt

and Boomer. I've even met some new friends really neat dogs

named Kasey Spunkie T-Ball and Candy you'd love 'em!

I've even seen Snowball the White Kitty. It's so good to see

her and all my other friends again. We run all day in the cool

green grass (Remember how I liked to run full speed into the

tall grass then do a flop and slide on my belly?)

we eat good food and drink cool water (I still love my chicken

dog food with Gerber's Vegetable Bacon on top!) we lay under the

shady trees and just enjoy being with each other.

But you know what the highlight of our days here is?

It's whenever one of our humans comes to get us. It

happened just yesterday it was so cool.

A bunch of us were eating lunch when this one little dog stopped

eating looked up then ran really really fast over to the bridge

skidding to a stop as a figure appeared out of the mist.

You never saw so much happiness! Kisses pets tail wagging,

we were all so happy for our friend. As they disappeared over

the hill together it made me wish for you to come get me all the more.

But Johnny you take your time.

I know you have more to do before you come for me.

Your friends and family need you. And of course

Meggie needs you most. She's so cute she even looks like me.

Just remember to be a bit patient with her. After all remember how I

liked to chew when I was a puppy?

Hold her love her and be close to her like you were with me.

Those are my most precious memories of my time with you

on earth the love we shared with each other.

Well Johnny it's time to go now.

A bunch of us are going to go run over the hill and

play in the tall grass before lunch.

Don't be sad keep me close to your heart until it's your

time to come get me. That way we'll never be apart.

Thanks for being my human I love you so much and can't wait

to see you again!

As always your loving fluffy puppy silly Willy super gooby

and Joy boy
