Dogs already know, and so their stay is shorter. I hope that doesn't sound glib. I know that dogs become beloved family members--mine certainly always have been--and it is heartbreaking when they have to leave. I love "Rainbow Bridge", but I didn't read it this time; it always makes me cry.Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-20220231231564392072010-03-17T19:37:04.023-05:002010-03-17T19:37:04.023-05:00Kelly, I wish I'd have recalled that story whi...Kelly, I wish I'd have recalled that story while you, Pammie, Quid and I were all in Natchitoches! As y'all recall, the Cane River isn't very wide. LOL! Good old Olympis. It's been a month for pet deaths...my oldest sister lost her 15 year old Chihuahua a week ago. (I so could not spell that and had to look it up! LOL!) Blessings!!<br /><br />Oh, Phoenix, you are so sweet. Thank you. I understand how you feel. It's been 2 years since my world's bestest kitty died and I miss him horribly. I had him for 20 years and it wasn't long enough... Blessings!<br /><br />Marion, thanks for stopping by and thanks for your kind words. I appreciate them.

My cat passed on years ago and last night I couldn't sleep (as usual) and I went back to thinking about him and how scared and sad he must have been when his life was taken way too soon. I hoped and prayed that he was someplace better and that it didn't hurt...and then I opened up your blog today and read the perfect words.<br /><br />Thank you, a million times, Marion, for how thoughtful and loving your posts are and how I am always in need of exactly what you write each time - even if I don't know it until I read it!<br /><br />::Hugs and blessings::Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-90137835624485035092010-03-17T13:46:45.893-05:002010-03-17T13:46:45.893-05:00What a wonderful, funny story!!

Olympis sounds like he was a fine fellow.<br /><br />Yep, the Rainbow Bridge has been too busy recently (we still miss our Betty) and I'm afraid Esther will be crossing over much too soon.<br /><br />I'm sorry for your loss, but know you will treasure many good memories.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-40264045834249043102010-03-17T13:44:44.916-05:002010-03-17T13:44:44.916-05:00Thanks, Annie, Amy and Pammie.

This is Mary Mace and Warner's first experience with the death of a pet. I hope Sarah tells them about the Rainbow Bridge.

My heart still grieves the loss of my precious pups.<br /><br />Sadly, the Rainbow Bridge has been a busy place this year.<br /><br />As the pillow Kelly gave me from Christmas says: <br /><br />"Heaven is the place where all the dogs you've ever loved come to greet you." <br /><br />How true; how true!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133743056974995270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-211661390270794382010-03-17T11:50:59.962-05:002010-03-17T11:50:59.962-05:00I have never heard of the Rainbow Bridge.
