I Lost My Furry Pal Today

[santahog]

I'm sorry..

Sorry to hear that CR.

[Pathfinder]

CR, I feel for you and my condolences to you and Bunny.

I lost my OES, Cheyenne,  earlier this year, and my dear Aussie, Torry, in 2011, both to cancer. I still expect to see Chey at the door when I come home. And Torry, who never lived her in KY, still pops up on my screen save quite often.

It gets easier, nut it never really goes away.

Hate to hear this, CR....my best to you.

CR, we lost our beloved canine relative 5 years ago, so I understand what you're saying.  Chu was well and truly loved, and will meet you with wagging tail at the Pearly Gates one day.

Hugs to you and Bunny.

I too have felt your pain with the loss of my Abigail - Great Pyrenees

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.
Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.

We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.
And therein we err, and greatly err.

For the animal shall not be measured by man.
In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear.

They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

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....
