I'm so sorry to hear of your precious Angel being called to the Rainbow Bridge. I know we miss our pets so very much. I still miss our cat from 16 years ago even with a new cat who is well, more of a cat, than a close family member like your sweet Angel is. Someday we'll understand God's timing but for now we understand your grief and hope in time another dear pet will share those happy hugs and barks. Great job expressing this in your acrostic poem so soon after your temporary separation from Angel.

    Lyenochka,

    Thank you very much for your kind words. She was my heart and I am totally devastated. It was so sudden and unexpected. I didn't get to say goodbye and that hurts the most. I know I will see her again one day.

Oh no! I am so very sorry for your loss. I know from experience that nothing said will help with the pain but just know that people care and I believe we will see our pets again one day because they were family and they will be waiting with everyone else we lost during our life to greet us in heaven. God bless your Christmas Angel.

    Marilyn,

    Thank you for the kind words. She was my heart and I am totally devastated. I believe we will see them again in heaven. It doesn't help with my pain right now. I miss her everyday. First couple of days I cried my eyes out. I have had wonderful support from my FS family.
    I'm taking one day at a time because that's all I can do.

Your poem, "Rainbow Bridge," is a touching and heartfelt tribute to your beloved dog, Angel. The imagery of running across the meadow to reunite with her is both vivid and emotionally resonant. The genuine love and bond you shared with Angel are beautifully expressed, and the raw emotion in your words speaks volumes about the depth of your grief and love.
I know what it is like to lose your best friend-heartbreaking.

When I saw Rainbow Bridge, I knew you had lost a loved one. I am so sorry that Angel has passed. Losing pets we love so much is almost as bad a losing a human friend. The only joy in being there to help her pass is knowing you had not left her behind.

    Carol,

    Thank you for the kind words. I am totally devastated and my heart is broken into a million pieces. I didn't get to say goodbye to my sweet girl. She spent the night at the vets office on Friday, because she wasn't doing well. He called me Saturday morning and told me he wanted to keep her through the weekend to get her breathing under control. He told me that I could come and visit her and I was getting ready to go hang out with her when he called back in less than 10 minutes letting me know she had passed. I was so broken hearted, because I didn't get to say goodbye to my beautiful friend. It sucked and today I had to go pick out her cremation box. It was hard. I will miss my sweet baby for the rest of my life.

    How awful you didn't get to be there. Although, I have to admit when our Daisy died, she seemed to be trying to cheer us up even as she was put to sleep.

    Carol,

    At least you were able to say goodbye. It just breaks my heart that I wasn't there when my sweet girl passed away. I feel like I let her down.

for some our pets are our family...take the time
and grieve for Angel...as long as that may be...
my heart and prayers are with you...

though sad...your poem is very well written...

    Linda,

    Thank you so much for the kind words. That dog was my heart and I am completely devastated. It was so unexpected, but her little heart couldn't keep ticking. The sucky part is she had spent the night on Friday night and the doc wanted to keep her over the weekend to get her breathing under control and I was all for the plan. He told me I could come and hang out with her if I wanted to. I was getting ready to go and see her and like 10 minutes later he called back and said she was gone. He tried everything to get her heart going, but he couldn't.

    So I went to the vet and held my baby and rocked her and talked to her for about half and hour. I didn't want to leave her. She died with her eyes open and that just broke me even more. She was my everything.

    The dog in my profile picture is Kratos the Pit Bull. He is the other half of my heart. Angel was a Jack Russell/Pug mix. She was the greatest dog ever and I will miss her for the rest of my life.

    I wish I could take your pain away...I
    know how it feels to lose a dog
    you love so much...tears...

    the day I had to take Domino in...
    it almost killed me...I held his paw...and he was looking right into my eyes...and he peacefully fell asleep...
    on the way home I started thinking
    I did the wrong thing...I called the vet...he told me not to second guess having to put him down...he had no life left...when I got home...my husband walked in the door...he put his arms around me and said...I know that was the hardest thing you have ever had to do...and I cried...he love
    that do as well...
    I'm so sorry Cecilia...I pray God will
    help take the pain away...I know He will get you through...In Jesus Name...
    God Bless my wonderful friend...Linda xxoo 🙏🙏🤗❤️🌹

    Linda,

    Thank you for the kind words during this difficult time. Losing a treasured pet really sucks. I knew my babies time was getting close, but to have her taken that fast is so unfair. I loved her so much.

Losing a treasured pet can hurt every bit as much as losing a human family member. All of the joy you derived from interactions with the pet will come rushing back to you in a kaleidoscope of memories, seemingly all at once, and they will haunt you and taunt you for some time to come. You may even be reluctant to get another pet, when you consider the pain of losing the last one and having to undergo that pain all over again.

    Mary,

    She was such a sweet girl. She died unexpectedly and that's what makes it even harder. We didn't get to say good-bye. I am totally devastated and my heart is broken. I take one day at a time, because that's all I can do.

    Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you.

No, Cecilia.
Not that beautiful dog in your profile?
I am so, so sorry to hear this and my heart goes out to you.
The saddest part of any life shared with a furry friend is that they leave us well before we are ready.
Sending hugs and love

    Tim,

    Thank you for the kind words. The dog in the profile is Kratos. I'm devastated and my heart is broken. She wasn't suppose to die. Doc says she had a heart attack. She spent the night at the vets and he called me to tell me he was going to keep her over the weekend and ten minutes later he called me and told me she was gone. I didn't even get to say good-bye.

    I know I will, but right now it seems almost impossible. She was my heart and I am so broken. One day at a time that's all I can do.

    There's nothing wrong with one day at a time. It's the best way to look at it. Take care.
