Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away 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. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I 'm happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey & Meredith , addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked 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 addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, '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 was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I recognized her right away.
Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in so I'm sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. 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'm easy to find. I am wherever there is love.
Love,
God

Beatrice’s story CDRRNZ were approached by Henderson Animal Shelter to help a wee dog that had just come into their care. They mentioned she had a few potential health issues, but when we saw pictures we were stunned.
It was clear that she had suffered and been in pain for an extended period of time before ending up in the caring hands of the shelter.
Her teeth were in a shocking state & needed urgent help. Her eyes were so cloudy it was clear she was partially blind. And then we saw her underside. She had a massive tumour that impeded her walking, sitting, and functioning normally.
These things did not pop up overnight. They are not hidden. They are right there for anyone to see. And whoever “anyone” is didn’t care enough to help their dog be free of pain.
What has happened to Beatrice is abuse, plain and simple.
She spent 3 hours at Hibiscus Coast Veterinary Hospital today getting checked out & we now have a plan to get her healthy & pain free. They believe her prognosis is good & we are so relieved.
A dental and lump removal are first on the list, and ensuring her life is pain free is paramount.
We are grateful. Grateful to the team at Henderson Animal Shelter for seeing beyond the pain and knowing there is a sweet dog who just deserves a 2nd chance. And grateful to her foster mum who said yes to taking her immediately .
Now we need to start Beatrice’s plan for her new life. This will not be cheap, but she will be worth it.
Please consider helping Beatrice get all she deserves. Whether it’s $1 or $100, every cent helps. You can donate here - ow.ly...
