rainbow bridge
There are many, many friends I know are on the bridge, both animal and human. Just today, I think I want to write about my Dad. Whenever I have a deep problem or a piece of really good news I want to share it with him. So today, I hope he knows I am making another new start in life. He's on the bridge with his brother and their best friend, sitting on a seat under a large shady tree, just talking about the world..........

I sent my angel dog Lucky to the rainbowbridge on 11/20/08 and told him to look for his Grammy,(My Mom) who loved him too. I told him to go play with Lassie and TuTu and Tiny and Cindy and Spanky and Ruffles and Scottie and Springer and that I would see him again. I fear my Taz who misses his brother Lucky will die of a broken heart. I couldn't stand that. Donna
Miss you so much Purd(ie) I know you're there at night with me, cos I can feel you walk up the bed and lay beside me.
I miss you scratching at the back door early in the morning to be let out.
I miss the hello you used to give me when I finally got out of bed.
I miss you chewing my hair when I came back from swimming.
I miss you trying to swipe the chicken off my fork on a Sunday.
I miss the way you used to lie on my shoulder and rub your cute little face against mine.
I miss your dirty little paw prints on my quilt cover.
Christmas will be hard, as you won't be playing with wrapping paper, and I'm sorry we had to shut you in the bedroom when visitors arrived with the dogs.
I miss our cuddles and the way you used to put your paws on my face.
I hope you are having a wonderful time at Rainbow Bridge, say hello to Laddie and Kane for me please. I can't wait to see you all again, love you Purd xx
We miss him
In a few days, it will be 1 year since our Buddy left us. He was 18 years old, a blue healer, he never had to work a day in his life even though his breed is commonly known as a cow dog here in the states. However he helped us raise our kids, always protective of them. We used to go out hiking alot when he was young.
One of the most amazing sights to behold, he was only about 2 ft tall, tracking a deer, the grass was about 4 ft tall, as he was going through the tall grass, he would bounce up to see where the deer went. boing boing boing!
The kids say it's hard to come home and not see him, when they visit. Sometimes the hardest part is being here all the time without him. However I know one day we will all meet again, Buddy, Shorty, Jackson,Tootsie, and Mickey, as well as others that went before them. :dogrun:
...it gets me every time I read it...at work at the mo...dabbing my eyes...its just sooooooooooo beautiful x
RIP Black Cat 🙁 warning not nice
First off....thank goodness i can vent here, don't know what i'd do without this place 
Found a large black cat in the middle of the road last night on the way home from a successful riding lesson where i didn't fall off and my confidence blossomed.......
Drove up the hill, quite a busy road near a dual carriageway and saw a black shape in the road. Turned around in a side street and pulled up next to it. Took a while to check it was definitely a cat 
that's how bad it was. Loads of cars drove by, trying to avoid it. A car slowed right down to look, while i was standing there illuminatd in my car lights trying to get it...two women going "what's that? is it a dog? etc" i felt like shouting either get out and help or bog off!! I think maybe they thought i'd done it, which was sickening.
Luckily it was freezing and i had my gloves on. It was dark, cat was black, i just swallowed and picked it up and put it on the verge. I tried to arrange it so that people walking by this morning wouldn't be sick. Trust me, kids would have been very upset.
I knelt over it and said "rest in peace little kitty, what do i do, i don't know what to do?" it was just horrendous. I knew there was nothing i could do, it had no collar. As i got back in my car, a young man pulled up, looked like he'd just come back from the gym, i asked if he knew if anyone around here had a black cat...he nearly gipped when he saw it. He asked if i did it 
but it was a fair question. I explained what had happened and what i'd done. He then thought that his neighbour Christine had a black cat. I said, please don't let her see it if it was hers and we said our goodbyes, him thanking me for what i did.
What did i do? Moved it off the road is all.
I drove home and hugged my own kitten. Whenever i feel guilty for keeping her inside, i will remember black cat.
RIP black cat, you are at peace now my friend
