Rainbow Bridge

[Leos mom]

Thank you for that tribute, Ms.Magnolia. My little girl just crossed that bridge a couple of weeks ago at the age of 15 1/2. She was my precious baby girl and I miss her terribly. I've lost other pets before so this is not new to me, but it never gets easier. Your babies are playing with my little girl, Torie.

Lost my biggest companion yesterday - 28 years old, 20 of them with me. He never had a bad day in his life. He was loved, cared for, healthy to the end, and yesterday he dropped dead in the pasture. The day before he was galloping down the lane, just for fun (he broke out of the pasture . . . )

He weighed 1,250 lbs. and stood 17'2", but the hole he left is much bigger than that.

hugs for you, nim. i'm so glad he had that last day to gallop...and now he's galloping at the Bridge with energy to spare.

our hearts are full of tiny holes from all of our departed companions - but the love and joy they give us is worth all of it.

I had to make the biggest decision of my life yesterday...I had to put my precious little baby girl down. She was a 16 year old calico cat named Patches. I had her since she was 6 weeks old. She has been through it all with me and was there by my side when nobody else was. She had a tumor in her mouth and was getting worse and worse everyday and I couldn't handle watching her suffer anymore.
I have never cried so much in my life. I miss her terribly and my heart aches like nobody's business. Thank you Patchy for all of the love you have given me...you will be greatly missed!!!!!!!!!!
