Brandy has gone on to the Rainbow Bridge..........Thoughts are with you!!


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....

Thank you all so very much. Although we are all strangers it is very comforting to know that people truly care. Brandy was an incredible dog, she loved everyone unconditionally - did not matter who you were. It's been tough and my other dog seems to be mourning her too. I know it was best for her. When we got to the vet yesterday, she was running a fever. The tumors in her feet and on her leg were infected and both ears had bad infections. The vet couldn't tell if there were tumors in there too but she was thinking there were. She offered to give her antibiotics and steroids to ease her pain until I was ready to let her go. I was never going to be ready. I knew in my heart I could not let her suffer anymore. So again, I thank for all for caring and my heart goes out to all that have had to or are going to have to go through this. Happy Holidays to all....

with incredible sadness I must say R.I.P. my Brandy girl. I will miss you more than you know.

Brandy girl I miss you so very much. Tomorrow would have been your 9th birthday. Since I am having a hard time thinking about it now, tomorrow will be worse. I hope your are resting well - your brother Cozmo misses you terribly. He's not real big on the puppies, you knew him better than all of us. Keep your angel paws around him and comfort him. So, Happy birthday my sweet girl, we all miss you tons....

It took me years to get over missing my special dog. There were times I'd catch her out of the corner of my eye... I know it was only memories, but it was nice to think she was still somehow there. I've had and loved dogs since her, but none have ever replaced her. Enjoy your memories of her tomorrow.

Thank you guys very much for the thoughts and support. I know you all know how I feel so I send my hugs and prayers to you all too. The only comfort for me is that I got her when my dad passed away and he was there to welcome her home. She now lives in my memories lying next to him. She is no longer in pain. I too agree that, although I do have the new puppies, they are only new loves in my life, not a replacement. Her love and devotion are forever in my heart
