So long....Rhett my dog my buddy

RAINBOW BRIDGE


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.​

You guys are making me feel like I should never get a dog - it hurts too much when they die! Sorry for your loss Privy - maybe his spirit can pass in to a new pup that is waiting for you to rescue him from a pen somewhere

Sorry to hear about Rhett. It sounds like he had a long, happy life. My dog and cat are my two kids. I would do just about anything for them.

Nice dig, I've never found three hutches in one pit. We have them here, but they don't turn up very often. ~Jim

I have always loved animals but the one I have now is my all time favorite. She is my little girl. She is a pug named Pebbles. She greets me every day when I get home, I pick her up and she hugs me, rubbing her face against mine. She follows me around like a shadow and no matter who has her or what she's doing, when I am near, she is right there by my side. I truly am sorry about Rhett.

Please tell me what that little "shrew" looking thing is in the picture. Very interesting. Awsome digs.

Sorry to hear about Rhett. I've always had pets, dogs and cats. It always hurts when it's thier time to go, but at least you know he had a good long life. You saved him from certain doom. It's always harder when thier time is cut short, like with an illness or injury. Always cherish the memories. Looks like you had a good dig to help get your mind off things. Chris

Damn i guess im lucky to be allergic to dogs and cats!!! The attachment and bonding seems un yielding for myself to handle!! I remember my uncles dog dying and he was depressed for months because of it. people try to explain to me the feeling of losing a dog or cat to losing a family member. ill leave that terrible feeling to when human relatives die! I feel depressed just reading all your posts , and my deepest condolences to your family member "rhett"
