GREAT DANE

My sincerest sympathies. It hurts so much to lose a pet, even though we tell ourselves that at least the dog isn’t suffering anymore. You never really get over missing them. But as time goes by, you won’t so much remember his illness or his physical difficulties or the decision you made to put him down. You’ll remember the good times and be happy that you could have such a wonderful dog in your life.

I am so sorry to learn about your loss. I know it is just like losing a member of your family or a best friend, because these are what our pets become. I know that Max was well loved and cared for to live to be 10 years old. The pain will eventually lessen, but it takes time. The Rainbow Bidge is a poem that has helped me and many of my friends to overcome our grief. I hope it helps you. Again I am so sorry for your loss, I know exactly what you are going through.

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 pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all our special friends so they can run 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 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 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…
