HEY BIGGY BOY! HOW ARE YOU AND ALL YOUR FUR BABY FRIENDS DOING IN RAINBOW BRIDGE? I BET IT'S NICE AND SUNNY AND WARM WHERE YOU ARE NOW. SMOKIE, IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE YOU LEFT AND I THOUGHT BY NOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO WRITE TO YOU WITHOUT SHEDDING A WATERFALL OF TEARS. BABY BOY YOU WERE MOMMY'S WHOLE WORLD, YOU WERE MY SUNSHINE ON THE CLOUDEST OF DAYS AND A WARM GENTLE BREEZE WHEN THE WINTER WINDS WERE BLOWING UP A STORM! YOUR "SISTERS" REALLY MISS YOU SO MUCH TOO, ESPECIALLY LUCKIE SULLIVAN. SMOKIE DO YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU AND LUCKIE WOULD SIT AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS AND WOULD PLAY "VOLLEY BALL" WHEN I WOULD TOSS BALLS UP TO YOU AND LUCKIE? I STILL PLAY THAT GAME WITH LUCKIE BUT SHE DOESN'T ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS WHEN YOU WERE HERE TO PLAY WITH HER. PRINCETON AND PATCHES ARE DOING GREAT, PRINCETON IS MORE LOUD AND SPOILED THAN EVER, AND PATCHES AND "STEP DADDY SMILOW" ARE ALWAYS CUDDLED UP TOGETHER IN THE DEN NAPPING IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. ITS BEEN SO COLD THE PAST FEW DAYS, THE "OUTDOORSERS" HAVE BEEN COMING TO THE "CATNIP CAFE" SEVERAL TIMES A DAY FOR SOME HOT CHICKEN SOUP AND A NICE WARM BLANKET TO BUNDLE UP IN. I DO MY BEST TO TAKE CARE OF THEM AND I ALWAYS TELL THEM HOW YOU'RE UP ON YOUR CATNIP CLOUD LOOKING AFTER THEM. I'VE TRIED INVITING THEM INTO THE HOUSE BUT THEY'RE QUITE INDEPENDENT AND PREFER THE OUTDOOR LIFE. I LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES EVERYDAY AND IT MAKES ME SMILE TO REMEMBER ALL THE HAPPY TIMES WE SHARED. SMOKIE I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE YOU BACK WITH ME THE WAY IT USED TO BE, I WILL NEVER GET OVER THE LAST TIME YOU KISSED ME AND THE WAY YOU PEACEFULLY DRIFTED OFF TO RAINBOW BRIDGE. I KNOW YOU'RE HAPPY AND PAIN FREE AND THAT MAKES MY HEART HURT LESS, BUT I AM SO LONELY WITHOUT MY PRECIOUS "BIGALOW BOY". JANUARY 26TH WILL MARK TWO MONTHS SINCE YOU LEFT US, BUT IT FEELS LIKE SO MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. PLEASE GIVE HUGS AND KISSES TO GRAMMY AND GRAMPY FROM US ALONG WITH ALL YOUR FUR BABY FRIENDS TOO. LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH WE ALL LOVE AND MISS ALL OF YOU SO VERY MUCH. LOVE AND KISSES, MOMMY
