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. 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….

Oh-ho, did I miss something? I hope not…
Son wouldn’t let me do a post on having to put Doc down – Doc is now at peace.
Oh, I’m very sorry about this, even though it was probably better for your dog’s comfort in the end.
I was very proud of Son who took Doc to the vet by himself on that last day.
How’s M. I know how hard it must have been for him, having just gone through it with Morgs and Ro?
It was terrible at the time – M had to take Doc to vet by himself and … oh I know you know. How is Tiger?
Sorry to hear this…
Thanks, Randy!
R.I.P, Doc
Yes, thank you bb – son buried him a few days ago under our olive tree where his wife is.
A poem for you…
