elpeludo 0 #1 March 7, 2005 The time has come to put down my old friend. I do not feel to go jump but; feel that, I may need to occupy my mind doing something? His name is "Brownie" and has lived a full life of love and care by us. If you have; gone through this, feel free; to give some advice. No Pat, you don't get to shoot the dog.

Slappie 9 #3 March 7, 2005 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 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 have 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. Their bright eyes are intent; their eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, they begin to run from the group, flying over the green grass, their legs carrying them 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... "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

Slappie 9 #5 March 7, 2005 QuoteThank you, Slappie, from the very depths of my soul. TripleF Your so welcome 3f. But, it's not my words. I was given them when I had to put Fatcat down. Actually made a huge difference in the way I handled the mourning process. Just thinking about him being happy and in some better place then here on earth suffering made me somehow feel better about the whole situation.

Vallerina 2 #6 March 7, 2005 I hear ya. My dog is so old, and we're going to have to put him down soon, too. There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
