It took me over a week to get this blog post written. I wanted to let you all know we had to say our goodbyes to Meg a week ago Friday due to complications from a mystery stomach issue. I tried with everything in my being to make things right..make her better, but Meg suddenly took a turn for the worse the last week of our trip and and she told us she did not want to fight any more after we had been home for 2 weeks.
Meg went incredibly peacefully….she was ready to rest….. but no matter how we had prepared ourselves…our hearts are literally torn in two. I can’t tell you how empty this house is without our beautiful Megawatt.
You were my mentor, muse and constant companion with the most soulful eyes that I will continue to see, every day of my life. Sleep in peace my dearest friend. We miss your sweet face so much it hurts!!!
My dear Facebook friends were following Megs ups and downs with her illness the past couple of week so I told them immediatley what had happened. Almost 100 people have stopped by the wall to give Steve and I some very badly needed virtual hugs and prayers and I thank you all for your incredible support. It has helped in the healing tremendously!!!!!
I have had so many emails from friends and customers who aren’t on Facebook who have been asking where I’ve been and I thought I had better do a blog post to update . I am working on getting back on track by remodeling my dressing room/guest room which is helping both me Lillian and Gracie too. They found that green paint is their color and are spreading it liberally on their coats any chance they get…..the comic relief is good and OH SO Welcome. I will show you the final room remodel when I’m done.
My son Bryan with Meg…he and my daughter Liz adored this girl
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH MEG!!!! WE LOVE YOU DEAR HEART!!!!!
Don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because it happened.

The Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….
To ALL of US that Lost our Pets the past few years
Oh Sandra and Steve, I was devastated to read of the loss of your wonderful Meg. I am not on Facebook, so this news is so sudden….Just as Kathleen wrote, I thought I hadn’t heard from you because you were getting back to yourselves after your trip. Richard and I send our deepest sympathies with lots of hugs.
Love, Lois
Thank you all so much from myself and Steve for your heartfelt kindness and caring. I have always surrounded myself with passionate animal loving humans, and the outreach we experience any time we have lost a beloved pet, only proves I have the best circle of friends, customers and family anyone could ever hope for. I love you all dearly!!! Gracie and Lillian send their sweetest purple kissies to you
So very sad and sorry for you all, your heart cleaves right in two at the death of a much loved pet. I struggled to keep a kitten healthy and he succumbed to a con-genital illness and I have never got over it, my heart was broken and this was 11 years ago. I send you my prayers and best wishes Sandra amd family and hope that the coming days will give you some small rest.
