Dearest Tory, what a beautiful Chihuahua Angel you are! You are precious indeed in those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. That fluffy brown and white fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big dark eyes.
You have the most delightful personality! In your earth life, you were playful and quiet and had a calming affect on other dogs. You went everywhere with Dad, and your favorite place in the car was riding on his left shoulder. At home or walking around, you snuggled inside his shirt or jacket. Those photos of you and him close together are absolutely lovely! You loved chasing squirrels and chipmunks, but you would never harm them.
You passed away on June 10, 2015, and your dear Dad misses you so very much. My deepest sympathy to Dad and all your friends who love you and miss you and grieve you. May precious memories and keepsakes help to bring them some comfort. Now you are a glorious Angel at the Rainbow Bridge, healthy and whole again, playing and resting with so many other beloved Angel pets. Please send your dear Dad some Angelic whispers to reassure him that all is well, you are watching over him and Iris always, and you will all be together again, One Fine Day..
Your signs from the afterlife started soon after Dad's grief began to subside. He saw amazing cloud formations appeared that looked like you. And you led him to his dear new puppy, whom he named Iris in your memory and because of the U2 song named Iris, which he'd never heard or seen before but suddenly appeared in his playlist. (I'd never heard or seen it before either, but I played the video and I love it! I was really touched, thinking of you and Dad.) A psychic told Dad that your spirit would be with Iris. He then discovered that she has a blue and a brown iris! You are with them both, dear Tory, always next to their hearts as they continue their journeys. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you have shared and always will!
Congratulations, darling Tory Angel, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope your dear Iris and Dad and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and precious memories and all your favorite games and treats. We know the other Angels are all rejoicing with you at the Bridge!
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
