Sorry for your loss, it happens way to soon and way to often,
Please read the following;

The story of the "Rainbow Bridge"


When an animal dies, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. The following is the story of the Rainbow Bridge:-

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....

Another Version:
The Rainbow Bridge ( inspired by a Norse legend)

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.



Beyond the Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful--lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.

'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.

So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

C.G. 1995

I hope this helps even if it is a little bit.

So sorry about Lucky. Lost my two birddogs/buddies last couple of years. Not over it yet. I look for them when I go out every day. Peace be with you.

 

[TByrd]

Thoughts are with you, so sorry to hear.

 

[enysse]

Sorry to hear, my brother lost his dog “Scruffy” who was with him the last 14 years, yesterday too. It’s hard losing a family pet.

 

[PHOENIX PHIL]

It's part of owning a dog in having to say good bye to them, but it always sucks, sorry to see this.

 

[Sam Kunal]

Sorry for your loss.

 

[cperso]

Very sad news

 

[Shootist43]

Para 45, these moments are sad and I grieve with you. But the fact of the matter is that there is only one way out for you and your family. Be it a puppy or a rescue dog, it makes no difference. Lost pets cannot be replaced, but the joy and happiness provided by a dog's unconditional love can be replenished.

 

[CoElkHunter]

I’m very sorry for your loss of Lucky. I’ve lost nine dogs over the last thirty years and you would think for each successive loss the emotional toll would be less, but it isn’t. But you will eventually be OK.

 

[Saul]

I am so sorry for your loss. There are so many wonderful souls stuck in animal shelters just waiting to run through a field on a hunt and be a child's best friend. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her such a great life.

Hard to lose a member of your family. Remember the good times. Best of luck.
