Rainbow Bridge
We who choose to surround ourselves
No wise man who ever lived could truly comfort the heart that has lost what it held most dear. Most people have experienced the loss of a loved one. So they try, each in their own way, to make you feel that they understand how sad you are. The world understands less the pain of losing an animal. This is because many people have never felt for themselves the true love of an animal. So, you cannot really expect these people to realize that your love for a pet may be greater than your love for the dearest people in your life.
The bond is different and can never be put into words. It is a bond that only The Heart understands. I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep. I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep. I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear, "It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here." I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea, You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me. I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore. I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more. I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care. I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there. I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key. I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said " it's me." You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there. It's possible for me to be so near you everyday. To say to you with certainty, "I never went away." You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew... In the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you. The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning." And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide, I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side. I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see. Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.... A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

February 21, 2012 - Emm, you were a fighter with everything life threw at you. You couldn't have been more loved by your mom and siblings, Nettles, Molly, Blake and even Chelsea. Your life was way too short but will teach many for years to come to help other dogs like you. Though it's so hard to have lost you we are so happy to have had you in our lives. Until we see you again. 
My Girl - you showed strength while always being a lady; you displayed manners by greeting guests even when it was so hard to get to them; you showed grace to the very end. Thank you for the gift of letting me know it was OK to let you go. No need to say we will be together again. I know you are here with us now. My Girl. Girl - GA rescue 2005 - June 22, 2011 
Muddy 11/ 05 to 06/09 Muddy was the best dog in the world! He will be missed forever by his family! Thank you again for letting us adopt him!!! Such joy and now, such sadness. The Galvin Family 
Ruby passed way too early due to kidney failure. She was Daddy's little girl and DPR is so grateful that she spent her short time here on earth in so much love. Until we see you again Ruby, rest easy. 
1-30-09 Pilot came to us from Tazewell VA shelter. He got sick very quickly and passed away within 48 hours of becoming sick. He was a happy puppy full of life before getting sick. We hope we gave him joy in the short time he was with us. Until we meet up again my boy. Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
