Sad responsibility

AA,

If you didn't feel sad it would mean that Tippy wasn't really a member of your family. All every dog wishes to be is part of a pack , a family.
It sounds like she was a very good member of yours and will be missed.

My Condolences

My condolences - sometimes there are no words...

So sorry to hear of your loss. Dogs can touch our hearts in so many ways, sometimes they can be closer to us than even another human.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss

A dog is never too busy to listen, always ready to be there for you, always forgiving, and never judgemental.

Truly man's best friend.

Both Elaine and myself are so sorry to hear your news AA. There are no words I can say here .. as you may know we lost our two dogs earlier this year and its totally gut wrenching beyond belief. We still get upset even now. Our thoughts are with you.
Take care now
Derek & Elaine

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....
