An incredibly sad day...
 

Yesterday, I had to put my wonderful friend, Roo, to sleep. She had a huge tumor in her mouth that went all the way to the back, and she could no longer eat. I had no idea that it was a tumor and was taking her in, thinking she had an abcessed tooth. They sedated her and found it. We didn't have her wake up because it would be just too cruel. Bill and I went to say our goodbyes. It's just breaking my heart typing this. Those of you who were at earlier SoCal herfs would remember her. She will be greatly missed and there is a huge hole in my heart today...:(

RIP Roo

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss. Animal or not, they are members of the family that leave a void when these things occur.

Sorry for you loss.
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....
