THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth.
So, each day they run and play until the day comes when, one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!
You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace,
Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated...

SATURDAY I HAD TO PUT ROCKY TO SLEEP BECAUSE OF A TUMOR.

I am so sorry to hear about Rocky, so sad

A Loan From God

God promised at the birth of time,
A special friend to give,
His time on earth is short, he said,
So love him while he lives.

It may be for eight or ten years,
Or only two or three,
But will you, till I call him back,
Take care of him for me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose,
And silken velvet ears,
A heart as big as all outdoors,
To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you,
And antics bring a smile,
As guardian or friend he will,
Be loyal all the while.

He'll bring his charms to grace your life,
And though his stay be brief,
When he's gone the memories,
Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But lessons only a dog can teach,
I want you each to learn.

I've looked the whole world over,
In search of guardians true,
And from the folk that crowd life's land,
I have chosen you.

Whatever love you give to him,
Returns in triple measure,
Follow his lead and gain a life,
Brim full of simple pleasures.

Enjoy each day as it comes,
Allow your heart to guide,
Be loyal and steadfast in love,
As the dog there by your side.

Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call,
To take him back again?

I fancy each of us would say,
Dear Lord, thy will be done,
For all the joys this dog shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've know,
Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for him,
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,
God's wishes to achieve,
In memory of him that we have loved,
And to help us while we grieve;

When our faithful bundle departs,
This earthly world of strife,
We'll get yet another pup,
And love him all his life.

I am o.k. going through periods of good times and bad. My cat has been nicer to me lately and I get to hold him. Its weird not having someone to take care of and sometime it is lonely. thank god for pictures and video.

Lots of for you

I' M SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT... I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD JACK RUSSEL... FEMALE... LOVE HER TO DEAD. EVERY NOW AND THEN I START TO THINK ABOUT WHEN SHE GETS OLD, AND PUTTING HER TO SLEEP, AND IT GETS ME VERY UPSET... I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT YOU MUST BE FEELING....

I'm so sorry for your loss. Cherish all of your wonderful memories with Rocky and he will always be with you in your heart. I'm a believer that animals go to Heaven too, so, right now, he's happy, playing and having a fantastic time. One of my cats passed away just over 3 months ago. It gets a little easier with time, but I still miss him, of course. I started a journal and wrote down all of the cute things that he used to do so I would never forget. I found it to be very theraputic. Many hugs to you and your family!

Thank you. I just cleaned out from under the bed where he used to sleep. found one each of all my slippers that he took, FH's socks, and one reese's peanut butter wrapper.

I have his ashes right next to the bed when i sleep feel like he is watching over me at night.

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to do the responsible thing. My Nikki was put to sleep last April and it's still hard.....
