Sad Day

[Fullabull]

Sad day in the Fullabull house we had to put down our 13 1/2 year on Chocolate lab today. She had Lymphoma, the kids came home from college so they could say goodbye. We all held her and cried while she passed...it was sad. The house will really be empty now with the kids gone and no dog to follow me around.

Nothing tougher than putting down &or losing the family pet. Sorry to hear that news, they are one of the family and have a deep spot in our hearts.

The Rainbow Bridge


Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the 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 the Rainbow Bridge together

Sorry to hear about loosing your Lab.  Truly unconditional love and the best kid friendly animal you could ever have as part of your family.  Went through it a few years back and swore we would never get another.  Never say never, got a black female and you know what life is good.  Again sorry about your loss.

 

[Fullabull]

Ghost, thanks for the Rainbow bridge, showed that to the family...they loved it!!!
