Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. Even tho your head  tells you you did the best thing, your heart sometimes takes longer to agree

((hugs))

sorry that you had to let  Pepi cross the bridge. It is always a hard decision to make but I am sure you did what was best for Pepi

Momi told me that my favorite boy is now at the bridge. I know that all of Mom's little dogs before me, met him as they loved to play.

I will always remember my Cpt. Pepi. I'm so happy that I still have my purse and flowers from him. He will always be in my heart.

I lubs you my Pepi.

I'm glad I could be there for you, Gary and our little pal, Pepi. I'm sure Dolly was there to greet him, friends forever.

Pat, I am sorry to hear that Pepi has crossed the bridge, he was quite the little BIG guy on board...

I for one will miss hearing of the trips that he made to the castle for the wonderful tet e tet's...

I remember he was out looking for Harley one time and the mice...thank you for sharing him with us...

Pat, I am so sorry to read about Pepi's passing. I'm sorry too that I'm so late in responding. My computer was attacked by a huge virus and I had been waiting for it to be fixed.

You did the right thing by Pepi but it's still so hard to make the decision you had to make. It doesn't make it easier knowing you are doing what's right but still feeling so bad. You have my deepest sympathy.

I reme ber when Pepi volunteered to be the pilot for the Kingdom. He may have been all proper and by the book about his job(and looked very sharp while at it) but I know he had a grand time flying every hound to all the parties and wherever they had to go. Even places they shouldn't have gone. I know at the last party in Florida, those girl hounds sure talked him into going along with their "flighty" plans. But he got them to the party and returned them home safe and sound. That was the way Pepi was.

Pepi is now flying around the Rainbow Bridge on the Queen Mum Jet 1, being of service to others. Taking hounds to the meadow, to their clouds or to anyplace place at the Bridge they want to go. His jacket pressed, his ascot tied just so and his hat on stright. Pepi is well and happy and needed.

I received this message from a little while ago. It says;

To my dearest family

some things I'd like to say.

But, first of all, to let you know

that I arrived okay.

I'm writhing this from the Bridge.

Here I dwell with God above.

Here there's no more tears of sadness.

Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy

just because I am out of sight.

Remember that I am with you

every morning noon and night.

That day I had to leave you

when my life on Earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me

and He said,"I welcome you

It's good to have you back again,

you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family,

They'll be here later on".

Fly, fly Pepi. You will be missed. We salute you for the service to the Kingdom

Well said, Queen Mum.  Pepi was a great little guy who will be missed by all.

Thank you for all the kind, caring comments.  It helps to know others understand.  Pepi was one-of-a-kind as people who knew him (like Linda S, Queen Mum, Debi,  Nancy, Andrea, and Donna....all of whom had met him) can confirm.   While we think he was part chihuahua, he rarely barked and he seemed to have an uncanny way of understanding nearly everything that was said to him.  While we miss him terribly, we are happy he is free from the pain and confusion that seemed to haunt him in his last hours.
