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....

It probably isn't the first time and won't be the last that little mistake is made by someone, especially as AutoCorrect governs our every move. I just wanted to alert you while you had a chance to change it, then I realized you're not limited - you could wait a year if you wanted to.Fixed.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers thoughts and kind words. As i read these i cant help but to weep, my heart is so broken, you have no idea what that dog ment to me,this house just isnt the same without my baby boy in it.i know i will see him again someday,i just miss him so much now it hurts, thank you guys for being so nice
It's ridiculous, crazy how deep our furry family members can work their way into our hearts. Most all of us have been there and know your pain. ((lowman))
The day I had to put my dog Joe to sleep was the worst day of my life, and that's saying something.
I dont think the pain ever really goes away you just kind of learn to live with it over time.lowman, the pain will recede in time. Hang in there.
My cat Hercules died three years ago. One of many cats I lost. The pain in losing him was as bad as the pain of losing a parent. I will not apologize to folks who say I should be ashamed to say that. My late parents would agree with me. They loved their pets as well.I dont think the pain ever really goes away you just kind of learn to live with it over time.
Thank you so very much for your kind words and understanding,im having a real difficult time with this write now so prayers are so much appreciated.its hard to talk to someone who dosent understand or been there before so thank you for taking time to post to me.My cat Hercules died three years ago.

My heart goes out to you. The pain will go away but your heart will always sting a little. I wish I did not love so hard. I cannot help it and I cannot deny a pet a home for fear of losing it. Love does not work that way. Be well my dear. I will offer a lil prayer for the soul of your furry child when I lay my head on my pillow tonight.
