very sod day...

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....

P1M,

Our sincerest condolences to you and Emma. Perhaps Usgie's spirit will live on in the stray we adopted yesterday, who is a spitting image of a dog we lost 2 years ago. They fill our lives and when they are gone our lives feel so empty.

Very sad. Pets can become every bit as much a part of a family as children. It really hurts when they pass on. I like to think we can take comfort in good times we share with them.

My condolences. They do indeed become more than just *pets*, they are truly Family.

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Usgie, P1M. It was quite evident from your various postings where he accompanied you & Emma on your travels that he meant a lot to you & was a part of your family. The photo of you two on his last day was very touching & appropriate as he's very close to your heart (as I know he'll remain).
