Wait for us on Rainbow Bridge pretty baby...

Sadly we had to put our beautiful baby to sleep today. She could no longer walk or eat and was crying so pitifully. It was the hardest thing I have had to do to date. Mom and I took her in today at 11 and at 11:30 she took her last breath. Mom couldn't look at her face but I did so I was the last thing our pretty baby saw before she left us. She's at peace now.

am truly heartbroken...both Porkles and her brother, my cat Shadow are my first cats. I don't handle death well anyway and this is awful. I can't believe how much it hurts. I can only imagine how much worse it will be when my Shadow leaves me.

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.... Author unknown...
