In Honor of Chance Dade, Daughter of LoboWolf and SheWolf. 07/01/2000 to 04/22/2011

Ole Chance she has gone where the good doggies go,
and no more with ole Chance will I roam.
I know dogs have a heaven and also I know,
ole Chance has a wonderful home.

I wish to thank EdW and all my Petloss Family for their kind prayers and loving support in this our time of trial. Today, April 22 at 3:30P.M. Chance went to join the great white wolf, little blue eyes and all of your and our Bridge Kids. She was always a love bug and will be sorely missed. Thank you all.

Dr Pam found a big tumor in the area of her spleen. She had wasted away drastically, but she could still kiss her daddy. I said my goodbyes to the most wonderful little girl. Son Charles and I brought her home and buried her in our little cemetery in our park. Love and hugs, Papa Lobo. One silver tear fell when Dr Pammy hugged me.

Dearest Papa,

I was so saddened to hear that the time came for Chance to make her journey to the heavens and the Rainbow Bridge. Even though it may be our fur babies time to return back to God, we are never fully prepared when it is our time to allow them to do so. I know that you gave her a lifetime filled with loved and happiness and when the time was here, you also gave her a loved filled compassionate exit out of this world and allowed her to run free to the Bridge. The silver tears that you shed now will be many but they are borne out of the two most important aspects of our lives-love and friendship.

I know that as Chance was running free to the Bridge that she had someone (maybe several) to help her cross over. This is a journey that none of us ever have to travel alone. God sees to that. If I may, I would like to share two of my own personal experiences in this regard that have brought me comfort over time. Several years ago when my much loved Siamese cat loving Aunt Jinny was in the hospital dying from cancer she was in a coma for three days. Her sister and I were with her when she was allowed entrance into the heavens. All of a sudden from her coma she opened up her eyes, saw someone she knew and loved, got this big beautiful smile on her face and then she left this earth. There was no doubt in my mind then or now that someone came to help her. The other experience I would like to share with you concerns my heart kitty Jude. When it was Jude's time to run off to the Bridge, my cousin Kelly and my friend Sue came with Jude and I to the vet. After Jude had been sedated Kelly asked me if she was purring. I put my ear down to Jude's face and she was only breathing and I told Kelly so. But Kelly distinctly heard a kitty purring. As Jude was leaving this earth Kelly heard several more kitties join in with their loud purrs until it crescendo into a chorus of many. I know that Kelly was meant to be with us that day as she was the only one who heard the purring. Both of these times with my Aunt Jinny and Jude are very profound for me as it is a testament of the soul living on and God sends some of His angels to help us cross over. I am sure that you have a pretty good idea of who came to help your beloved furry friend Chance start her new journey. You and Dr. Pam helped her to start her journey and some of your loved ones came to help her to continue on that journey. I hope that you can find some comfort in the knowing that as Chance was well loved and cared for while she was on this earth that she will still be well loved and cared for. We all are well taken care of. God sees to that.

I know that in time as you walk down the path of grief your load will gradually lighten with time. That is one of time's greatest gifts to us-the power of healing. You have an abundance of love on which to draw from with the love and friendship that you and Chance shared with each other. That is indeed very sacred and beautiful and contains it's own special brand of healing. Love can very well break our hearts but it is what also helps us to heal.

Thank you so very much for sharing that big, kind, loving heart of yours with so many-including your beloved fur babies. You said something to me once in an email, 'We love those who love the wee ones". I also would like to say to you, I love those who love the wee ones.

Paw prints are now and forever shall remain embedded on your heart.

Love and(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Light a candle in Chance's memory, for a sick, abused, or special needs furbaby, or perhaps just someone who needs a prayer and a candle lit.
