because there is just my mom, dad and Levi to exchange gifts in my family but Dad and Levi can't go shopping so that just leaves Mom to buy two gifts. The Christmas gift pool has made the lines up here at the magic water extra long. The magic water, you'll remember, is under the bridge and it allows us to view our humans down on earth. But even waiting in the lines is fun because we all exchange stories about our holiday times on earth when our humans would dress us up in reindeer antlers or velvet bow ties and other silly things like the blinking, light-up collar I had for many years. We'd also swap stories about the trees that accidentally got peed on and the gifts that got ripped open.
One day after waiting in line I finally I got my time at the magic water and I could see a red Christmas fabric neck scarf for Levi sitting on the dining room table and an unopened U.P.S. box sitting by the front door as Mom and Dad came back from the grocery store.
"I think Cooper's Christmas present came!" Mom told dad.
A gift for me? I thought. What on earth could they get for me? I've been dead for ten months now.
I couldn't wait to tell the other angel dogs what my quirky Mom was up to. I couldn't wait
myself to see what she was up to! But imagine my out right shock when she opened the box and revealed a custom make grave marker. No more magic marker on a patio stone for me! I'm getting a REAL memorial marker and if Levi pees on this one like he does on the homemade marker the little bugger is going to feel my wings fluttering my anger in his face. ©P.S. The photo above was taken of me about six years ago. Mom found it on an old roll of film she just had developed. The memorial marker came from www.harrietcarter.com

Hi Cooper,
Your grave marker is beautiful. I'm glad you got to see your present from the bridge! I sure hope Levi doesn't pee on it! Your family is so lucky to have you watching over them this holiday season!

You know how much you are still loved, don't you, Cooper? The grave marker is beautiful, and I'm sure Levi will come to respect it and do his duties elsewhere!
Loved the picture of you. That's a lovely grave marker.
Thanks for telling us about the bridge at Christmas. We think of our fur sissies and brothers up there too. Mom says so many. (she's really,really old....)
Beautiful marker and love the picture of you. Try not to get mad at Levi. You're an angel now after all! ;)
Hugs
