Sorry for your loss,

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....

Best wishes my friend. We humans carry our love in memory. We love our pets as they are family.

I have a kitty that is nearly 20 and getting thin despite eating everything, almost. He is still a picky cat. I don't expect to have him much longer. He chose our house, as many cats do and we thank him for that.

I had to make a decision to relieve my 21 year old friend of her pain and suffering. My heart is still broken. I will never have another companion so loyal. She literally was my shadow. So very sorry for your loss

So sorry to hear about your ‘fur baby’, Greg. We have a Chihuahua/Terrier mix and your girl looks related, and about the same size. Again, sorry for your loss.
