Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end.They simply mean I’ll miss you, til we meet again

Nickname: Noodlers

Noodle you came into our lives as your family was changing to save not just the fur kids but the humans as well. Though badly beaten and needing extensive care your love was so unconditional from the start. You spent agonizing weeks with surgeries to repair broken bones and remove broken teeth but you always had a wag of the tail and a kiss for all who met you. Though we were never more than your foster family you protected and loved us all. You loved swimming in water and it was great for rehabilitating your body and building strength. After several months you finally got to see your family again for a visit oh how your little girl was so happy to see you. I don't think your tail ever stopped wagging. The vets and us all knew you kept fighting to live for her your love of that small child was so apparent in your every move. Time can not stop the aging of the body nor the best of care and so now you've gone on to Rainbow Bridge to await your loved ones there. You joined your buddies on this sad night for us but know you are watching over all of us.

You changed my life Old man
it will never be the same
but I know from Doggie Heaven
your waiting at the gates.
You can run and frolick now
no longer sick or frail and
watch over the earthly people
you loved so well.
