Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 02-07-2007, 11:44 AM

We got Peanut's ashes back yesterday. The only reason I mention this is because there's another butterfly story to tell. Terry was carrying "Peanut" into the motorhome. He had one foot on the step and the butterfly buzzed him, stuck around for a moment then flew off. Once again, Peanut letting her daddy know that she's ok, right at the proper moment when he needed reassurance the most again.

I will be making a little memorial set up for her like I did with Tubby - a picture of her, a candle and her ashes. We will keep that set up until we make our way back to Wisconsin this summer, then I will sprinkle her ashes in the same area I sprinkled Tubby's, and will bury the little box next to Tubby's, and we will think about her everytime we see a butterfly.

Aww! I love the way butterflies keep popping up. It's definitely Peanut letting you know she's still around. RIP sweet princess.

Blessings,

I have always heard about finding Pennies From Heaven to signify that a deceased human being is reminding us of their presence, and now I can equate butterflies as a signal from RB that our pets are still here in spirit, and don't want us to forget them (as if we ever could).

I'm sending my prayers and condolences to you on losing your beloved Peanut, and wishing that butterflies will continue to cross your path, to ease your grief. {{HUGS}}

Debbie, that's truly amazing! What a heartwarming way to stay in touch with you, she must be such a precious little soul...

When I lost Katz, somebody once told me she would come back to me in some form, and that thought was a great comfort. Now your butterfly experiences tell me that these things might actually happen.

Yep, still thinking about her with every passing butterfly.

We've been thinking about Peanut a lot yesterday and today because we stayed the night at the RV Resort we were at when she died. Again, another butterfly story. Last night we stayed in a different spot than the one we were in when she died. This morning we took a walk over to that spot, and sure enough, there went a butterfly - we couldn't believe it! It fluttered around while we puttered around the site a bit (we wanted to check on a cactus we had planted, etc.) and when we were ready to go the butterfly few one more time in front of us and then flew off.

It was a bittersweet return because it reminded us so much of how we miss our little sweety, but it also reminded us of how we got Robin from the guy across the street. After looking at all the local shelters, finding the perfect little girl right across the street was, to us, another sign that Peanut was looking out for us and she knew it was time for her to go. She waited until she knew we would be ok before she called Tubby and told him to come get her.

Sure do miss you sweety. Smoochies and skritchies to you and Tubby too.

We all share many Fond Memories of Tubby and Peanut.

May they Rest in Eternal Peace at the Raibow Bridge.

I adore the butterfly stories.

She was a sweet beautiful girl, and very very special. The butterfly is amazing.

Is the fellow you got Robin from still there? You thought he would be amazed to see how she has come along.

Last night they told us he hadn't arrived for the season yet. This morning they told us he actually did arrive late last night, but that someone had picked him up this morning and they had gone to breakfast. We stopped for a bit to have some coffee with old friends, and I was hoping he'd get back before we left, but he didn't. Although, last year at Christmas time I sent him a card with a note about her, with several pictures, just to let him know she was doing ok. I never heard anything back, but I know he got the card because someone commented on it as we were talking to our friends.
I was disappointed we missed him. He's a nice guy and we enjoyed his company while we were there. I know he's glad she found a good home. He didn't dislike her, he just wasn't a cat person and since his wife died, he just didn't feel he could care for her the way she should be taken care of. He was trying to do right by her, and he did - he found her the best home she could ever dream of.......thanks to Peanut.
