I admit I'm late but I have a further letter for Greedy and her mom from Convict:

Dearest Hoomins,
Please know that I now rest in peace.  I have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and have found so many friends to play with.  And guess what?  We can chase all days long, including our tails, as long as we don't harm anything.  And we're fed well, water's always available and there's fire hydrants everywhere, as well as trees.  We can sniff to our hearts content.

I want to thank you for letting me go.  I was hurting and I know how much courage it took for you to take the decision you did.  But I went peacefully, knowing there would be no more pain.  You were the best hoomins I could have as companions and I love you both dearly.  And guess what else?  I recognize some of teh kittehs here and I'm friends with them too.

We're all just waiting for you to come join us, but please, don't be in a hurry to do so, we'll never forget you and can't wait to see you again when it's your turn to join us.  We'll be waiting for you on the Bridge when you finally join us.  Then we'll be together again, and can play and walk all day long with no worries of ever being sick again.  The sky is blue, the sun is shining, it's warm and we're just waiting to see nightfall where we'll then have the stars and the moons to run amongst.

I know you'll cry for me, and wonder why this had to happen, but I had some good years on earth with you and I'm thankful for that.  You showed me love and took care of me.  Now it's turn for a Greater Power to look after us until we can see you again.  I loved you also and was sad to say goodbye, but I'm where I should be.  Thank you always for having been my hoomins.

O, and the best part? Remember, we're dogs and cats after all, there's no need to clean up after us dogs and the cats litter boxes clean themselves.  Isn't that just great?

Signed,
Convict  (sloppy kisses and a wet nose pressed against your cheeks to wipe away your tears)
