   Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven. Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven. Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees. Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please. Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure, And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven. Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven? Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on, 'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.  it was a dream come true. I did worry about Sherlock's reaction. Here she comes this little 7 week old pup wanting to cozy up to this big ole boy who was paralyzed and he LOVED her! When we got home that first day, she went over to his bed and laid down with him and that was where she slept until he died 4 months later. They would sleep cuddled up together, it was so sweet. I really felt he stayed here just long enough for Emma and I to bond to each other.
Sherlock. I was devastated when Emma was diagnosed with terminal kidney disease at 3 years old. The next 9 months were very special and I will always treasure them but when she died I was sad beyond belief. My vet's office gave me a pink and white variegated azalea and I planted it in a little garden outside that is "Emma's Garden." She died in October and every year since then, that azalea starts blooming in October and it blooms through the New Year. I wanted a rose named Emma to plant in her garden but there was no Emma rose in the U.S. but there was an Emma Wright rose in England. After Emma died we were on sabbatical in London and I brought back two Emma roses and they have a beautiful pale orange color.
with her at the Rainbow Bridge (Sherlock's Emma of Elsa) and her brother were the only survivors of the litter. Sadly their mom Elsa (Duchess Tykee Moonshine), Sherlock's daughter tragically died after being spayed a few months after I got Emma.  Emma's Mom Elsa "My dear sweet Emma departed this Earth today and I am deeply saddened. My love for her is boundless. I will miss her greatly. I'm glad she is released from that unwell body, but I dearly wish she was still here." I was able to let her know it was okay to go and I can only hope my message got through. I let her know she would be free to go off and play with Sherlock and Elsa and her brother Rip.  Emma's Brother Rip  Noreen's Dolly  Emma & Dolly   Able     Emma 5 months  If You Eat the Hat You Have to Wear It..... Sorry Uncle Willard  Hanging Out with the Goats    Emma changed my life in no small measure. She was one of my best teachers ever. I had cried every day for three months after I had to have Rowdy euthanized. It took a long time to forgive myself. I certainly grieved for Sherlock but he was an old man and I was so grateful he lived so long and at the same time I had his beautiful granddaughter Emma to hold and love so I felt physically still connected to him, and perhaps part of the grief now is delayed grief for him. I really don't know. I know I thought I would have Emma for a dozen years.... I never would have guessed that 6 1/2 years after Emma died, I would get my red girl Rose and that she and Emma would have the same dad! Amazingly she came to me with the name Pasadena Rose so calling her Rose was a natural!
