Crossed over to The Rainbow Bridge.....February 2, 2010
Sadly Scarlett left us and crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge on February 2, 2010 .
Scarlett acquired a sudden onset of Thrombocytopenia, we have no idea where it came from or why. She was fine one day and gone the next. These are just a few of the many favorite pictures of Miss Scarlett
R.I.P. my sweet baby girl.
April 11, 2001 **** February 2, 2010
Just to soon, if I had you back for one more day I would cherish that day forever....you were the light of my life and will always be in my heart. Your love and devotion got me thru so many rough times. Without your sweet kisses I could not have gone on. Every once and awhile a special little dog comes along, Scarley girl, you are that special one. No matter what was asked of you you did it....I still have no idea why such a happy, healthy little girl can be gone......Did you go because you knew Rhett would need you to be there for him soon???
We will never know because on April 6, 2010 your brother Rhett joined you. I am sure you came to be with him on his journey so he would not be afraid....you were always there for him.
Run with the gentle breezes both of my sweet babies, chase the butterflies, you are together forever. On warm days as I stand on the back deck where you both loved to lay in the sun I know you will be there with me as you always did to watch the sun go down....and when I see that first star I know it will be both of you looking down and watching over me.
I love you my sweet babies and miss you terribly.

In Memory of Miss Scarlett
Water Color by Artist
Lorna Wainwright
I will lend to you for awhile, a pup, God said,
For you to love her while she lives and mourn for her when she's departed.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three,
But will you, 'till I call her back, take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you and (should her stay be brief),
you'll always have her memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowd's life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness we'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve
In memory of her we loved, to help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Pup and love her all her life.

In Angels Arms,
where I know you both are, my sweet, sweet girl and my very dear friend Terri Shumsky. Take care of her Terri she loved you so much.
In Angels Arms
The angels looked upon you, and they loved you so,
I believe that is why you had to go.
In the arms of an angel, now you lay.
And they’ll care for you, both night and day.
And you’ll have a new home, in those heavenly lands,
and the angels will caress you with their gentle hands.
When I look up, to the far away sky,
When I’m thinking of you, trying not to cry.
When I reach for you, and you’re not there,
or when I miss the feel of your velvet hair.
When I dream at night, that I hear your bark,
but awake alone in the cold and dark.
When I choke up, and my feelings, I’m trying to hide.
When I miss you so much, that I hurt inside.
Then I remember, that the angels took you from me.
And held lovingly in their arms, is where you’ll be.
I’ll remember you’re happy and feeling no pain,
and you’re awaiting the moment you’ll see me again.
I’ll try to be happy, stop feeling so blue.
For I know you’re safe,
The angels love you!
I could go on and on about my precious little girl. So many wonderful stories and memories.
I will just jump to her final days from here. On Sunday January 31st we left our home in New Jersey on one of our normal cross country trips in our 18 wheeler, AKA "The Yorkie Express" Scarlett was her normal bubbly, happy, bossy, self she loved to go trucking. On Monday morning I noticed she was just not acting right so we looked for a veterinary hospital in the state we were in which happened to be Missouri, we found one in Sullivan. I took her in and they immediately ran a blood panel on her as she was acting lethargic and her gums and tongue were turning a beige color and I could get no color change by pressing them. Within 15 minutes they had the results back. Her platelets came back at 9 normal is between 200 and 500....Scarlett had what is known as Thrombocytopenia, it can come on for no reason at all, she had no temp nor was she not eating or voiding, everything was normal except her blood. It was suggested she get a blood transfusion but we all knew it would only prolong the end, she would not make it no matter what we did. So it was decided that she continue her journey for as long as she was able. She was in no pain. We made her comfortable and tried to prepare ourselves. Sadly Scarlett crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge the next day at 9:15 PM on interstate 40 in Amarillo, Texas. I do not think I will ever understand why or how a perfectly healthy little girl, so full of life can be here one day and gone the next. But believe me I will research this and find out just what it was that took my special little girl.
We are amazed at the outpouring of love and support we have gotten from around the world. John and I thank you all so very much for the wonderful emails and cards we have received.
Scarlett will always be in our hearts, every once and awhile a special little one comes along and becomes a piece of your heart, Scarlett was our heart and we miss her terribly.
The many faces of
Miss Scarlett thru the years.

Demanding to get her belly rubbed, if your toes were pointed up you were expected to rub her tummy, she would hold her leg up for the longest time just to get her belly rubbed..

Sullivan Veterinary Hospital in Sullivan, Missouri.
Thank you so much to Dr. Kathleen Stuart for the excellent prompt care of Scarlett and for consulting via phone with Scarlett's vet Dr. William McAlonan of Wilwynn Animal Hospital. You both tried so hard but knew nothing short of a miracle could save our beautiful girl. You both gave it you all....
Rhett's final farewell to Scarlett...
This little red house was Scarlett's and hers alone, the boys knew better then to even try to get into it.....that plush spider was Scarlett's favorite toy, I did many surgeries on that spider sewing the legs back on when she would play tug o war with Rhett...one very memorable game of tug o war, Rhett was about 6 months old and they were playing....Scarlett stood her ground she was not letting Rhett have the spider.....all of a sudden the leg Rhett was pulling on broke away from the body.....OMG......Rhett tumbled over and took off running with it...he had a prize for sure and Scarlett was right behind him barking for me to follow to get her spider's leg back....we finally cornered Rhett and got the leg back....Scarlett walked away grumbling the whole way with Rhett hot on her tail.....she took the leg and the spider body and retreated to her bed.....placed them both in her bed and slept on top of them as if to guard them......Both Rhett and Hashi knew that spider was off limits them....the day after we came home without Scarlett, Rhett was looking all over the house for what I thought was Scarlett..but no, he was looking for the spider, I could hear him digging into the toy box, pretty soon he comes into the office where her red house was, in his mouth was her spider.....it was Rhett who ever so gently placed that spider in her house.....for a week he would lay in front of the house and just look in....I am sure he was begging her to come play...after a week or so he finally moved it, I could not find it for quite awhile then one day he came walking thru the office with it.....funny thing it was missing one leg....I did find the one leg.......it was under the same bed Scarlett and I had to corner him under to get it the first time a leg ever came off....I know she is here in spirit and was here the day Rhett left me.....The spider has since been washed and is on a shelf above the grooming table....
What is it about this little red house.....this was taken the night after the day Rhett left us....he has gone to that house several times with a ball...he will lay in front of it and wag his tail just like he did when he would try to get either Rhett or Scarlett to play ball with him....do you think maybe his little buddies are in there playing with him and watching over us????
Rest In Peace my sweet babies....fly with the Angels chasing butterflies.
