My Dog Has Gone Today

[flump1]

I have lost my greatest friend today and I am heartbroken. She was 13 and so scruffy but she was a joy and I don't know what to do without her.

[marval]

I am sorry to hear your sad news flump, just know you did your best for her.

"In the Candle's Glow"

Warm light coming from far below,
Twinkling, sparkling is the candle's glow.
All is well up on the ridge,
The place we know as Rainbow Bridge.

Furbabies sleeping in heaven's light,
Tended by candles in the night.
Peaceful dreams be theirs to keep,
As they slumber in this night so deep.

Hearts on earth that miss them so,
Take comfort in the candle's glow.
Watching for them in skies above,
Bound eternally by a cord of love.

yes, I also believe that you are the third this week to suffer this way, slumpy.

Think of all the good times that you had and the love for each other and your loss becomes that little more bearable - and share your tears with the family.

[tenrec]

It is so sad when a pet passes on. Thinking of you.

[flump1]

Thank you Marval, that is beautiful...
Dt, it is Flump..not Slump ..although....x

[flump1]

Thanks tenrec x

My last Lab/Collie died very suddenly and it broke my heart. The wild and ragged rescue dog I adopted is now so like her in looks and temperament that I have to double check photos for the date.
I don't believe in reincarnation, but if I did...

flump

my deepest sympathies to you

[DTCwordfan]

oops typo there, flumpy; however, I bet you feel "slumpy" this evening and that is perfectly natural. Nothing worse than losing mine and she was only 4, killed by some young idiot going at nearly 60 through a 20mph area!

[DJHawkes]

very sorry flump, these threads are always heartbreaking, until AB I never realised how many people feel the exact same way when they lose a pet.

[tonyav]

[boxtops]

So glad for her that you were there with her, flump - but so hard for you. Big hugs (())

[flump1]

[chelle7272]

So sorry to hear that flump, I know how hard it is. Nothing I can say to make it better so sending big hugs xx

[starone]

But you cannot let them suffer, better this way, for them if not for you.

So sad to hear your news Flump, been there myself a few times it's heartbreaking. Our furry friends leave their footprints on our hearts, try and remember all the good times you had together and take time to mourn her loss, I know people will say she was just a dog, but she was more than that to you, you've lost a dear friend and family member. Take comfort in the fact that all of us here on AB are here, and we understand how you are feeling, and has been said earlier she will be there by the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you.

Sorry to hear that flump. Stay strong . . .

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 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 poorly and become old are restored to health and vigour 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…"
