sad day

For you Dave.

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....

Dave, I am sorry for your loss. We become so attached, and really dependent on them, to be there for us, it is truly devastating when we lose one.

Their love and loyalty is completely unconditional. I hope things turn around for you soon
 
Dave so sorry to hear of the loss of your pet yorkie, prayers and positive energy sent your way. Treasure the photos of her favorite knives and her.
If you have never read it do a search for Rainbow Bridge for pets.

they beat me to it.

Dave, sorry for your loss and trying times. I prefer my dogs company, over most folks I've met. WVians are a tuff bunch, you included. I've heard it said " The Lord never gives you more than you can handle"....stay strong Dave
 
I am sorry for your loss.

Brace yourself. I have a cat I think you would like, hasn't clawed me more than most do, and a box that he would most likely fit into. I'm pretty sure I have your address.

Please take a pic of anything @ Blade and post it. You have a following. Yes you do.
 
Sorry Dave. Amazing how our dogs can become so much a part of our lives, losing them is a hard thing to bear.

it was hard to slowly let her go out of sight for more then a few min..
but she so wanted to hunt them mice and squrels ..
it was her joy to do so i could tell as her eyes were so bright and body so exciteted
she was a hunter and when one got in the house ... it didnot last long...
she lived a good life with me and was more then a simple pet...

he will bring you home before that happens..
and when i go home i will look for rainbow bridge...

Dave,

I've been thinking about this again. My wife and I are still on an emotional roller coaster since Saturday, when we had to put our boy Charger down. Aside from the fact that we don't have a 135 pound friend wandering around the house, it's the little daily routines that are gone now: filling the feed dish at the precise time; having Charger come to tell me that the morning buttered toast is finished and it's now time to go outside; making sure that his water container is filled when we head to the mountain; going for our evening hike; and a thousand other things. I am sure it is the same for you. I figure that over the years, Charger and I walked over 5000 miles together. From the time he was eight weeks old, he went to work with me every day until I retired a couple of years ago. It's going to take a while before I don't think, "I have to do such and such."

When you get to a certain point and your children are grown and gone, it is pretty easy for a four-legged "person" to become your best friend and "child" and there is nothing wrong with that.

When I think of the other problems you have had in the last year or so, I think our loss maybe isn't quite so bad. I am thinking of you and wishing for the best.

Dave, I'm very sorry. We went thru the same two weeks ago. Thoughts and prayers.
 
Dave, all apologies to you i have put down 2 of my 4 legged friends in the last 2 years, one of which grew up with me since age 1, what my family did was find a new friend that we could take in for love and play, for each one lost i now have 4 dogs instead of 3:D, and i wish you luck for all of your other troubles, stay strong.
 
Very Sorry Dave. I know how attatched we get to pets, and especially loosing one after your wife went home to the Lord. I always enjoyed your pictures the the Buck Hunting Yorkie, still brings a smile to my face. I agree with Jb that a scrimshaw of her on a 110 would be a great memorial.

Take care and God bless.

Dave, I don't have any great words of wisdom, but I am sorry for your loss and to hear of the other hard things. Prayers sent.
