FAREWELL TO OUR COMPANION

"My little dog - a heartbeat at my feet."  ~Edith Wharton

And that loving heart has now ceased beating. You were the perfect dog to help teach us more about patience, compassion, unconditional love, and joy. Our house will feel a little less like a home without you.

Rest in blessed peace, sweet poochie o' ours.

My  heart breaks just knowing what you're going thru.  I always treat my little dogs as my kids, always getting way too attached.  I am so sorry to read of your loss.

Oh so sorry Nikki.  My sympathies at your loss.  I'm sure this pooch loved you all and was loved by all.

Rainbow Bridge
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....

I know, Circle of Life and all, I just hate that it has to happen around the holidays. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Its always tough losing a family member.  I am sorry, but at least you had 14 years to enjoy each other and all the happiness shared.
