Family member leaves this world...

Reading of another's pet loss always makes my heart skip a beat or two. Our Aussie, Jessie, is seven plus and I'm seventy two so it could be a photo finish. When our previous pup, a Border Collie named Duffy, stroked out at fifteen, I shed more than a few as, I suspect, have you.
 
Bill ,
Here is a poem of comfort for you writtem by an unknown author.

It is called the :"Rainbow Bridge"

<TABLE border=0 cellPadding=10 width="70%"><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top align=left>Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=2 align=left>All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Author unknown...

Hope this helps ease the pain some

Rick

Thanks Rick.

Thats awesome.

I have seen their website as well.




Cheezy,

That poem about Beau is just danged cool. God bless Jimmy Stewart... and Beau
 
Cheezy,

Thanks for posting that Jimmy Stewart poem. I remember my wife and I watched it on the Carson show, and we cried like babies, as we had just lost our Borzoi a few weeks before.

Those that do not share their lives with furry or featherd companions will never understand the heartbreak that we experience when they're gone... I like to believe that if I live my life as a good person, my reward will be that they'll all be waiting for us when we finally reach the Rainbow Bridge.

And the world is a lesser place without Jimmy Stewart in it...

i am 100% in agreement
 
So sorry Bill, about your much loved sharpei.... Pets do become part of the family and the attachment becomes so deep it's like losing a family member...I know the feeling.
 
Very sorry to hear about your loss Bill. Animals are very much family. My wife and I do not have or plan on having childeren, but we do have animals and for us, they are our 'childeren' and loved and adored as if they were. To loose one is devistating. I hope you find peace and know that her memory will live on forever. :salute:
 
I know how you feel......

Bill, Sorry for your loss, I lost my golden last year had her from puppy through her 14th birthday, so I've been there too. It may sound silly to some, but I believe when my time is up she will be there at the gates to greet me.....which means I believe you will see yours again....... I know it's too soon to think of this now, but we stumbled across an abused, beaten, starved golden retreiver puppy (there is a special place in hell for those who do this to a puppy) a several months ago and it does help to adopt another after some time. And yes, this little demon dog has filled a big void and she has healed into a great puppy!

you may not get "over" this, but I promise you will get "through" this
