I’d drop a trigger warning but every day in rescue is a trigger warning.

To my Halfway Huskies in heaven

This morning, I sent you another angel. I know you were excited to meet her, she told me you knew she was coming, and that she would be seeing you soon. She even warned me that she wouldn’t be staying long.

You know that little piece of my heart that I sent with each one of you when you left me to cross the rainbow bridge?

I need you to break off a piece and give it to her for me. I didn’t get a chance to do it myself. I didn’t know she would be leaving me so soon, so I left to go and help a bunch of CA dogs that were not quite ready to meet you so soon.

Before she left, she told me what happened to her and how she ended up in a shelter.

She told me about her human, the one standing with you right now. She said that her human was called to be with you and that she could go too but wanted to wait. She wanted to better understand her own humans calling to be with you. Her human had treated her well and she only knew love.

She wanted to feel what you felt before you found a human to love you like that, just for a minute.

So, she let them take her and put her in a place where she felt things she had never felt before, hunger and loneliness while physically deteriorating with one thing in mind, to get to me. I was to be the one to help her get to you and that human sitting down next to you.

I bet she feels amazing again with her heavenly healthy coat and tail. I bet that patch of bare skin is healed doesn’t hurt any more. I am so happy that she is no longer in pain and is with her human, but so sad I didn’t get to know her, so do me a favor and hug her for me and tell her all about me and how I’ll see her and you all again someday, over the rainbow bridge.

RIP my sweet, sweet girl, Lovey, I hear your mama calling your name... you truly, truly are no longer halfway home.
