Waiting at the Rainbow Bridge

I'm wondering if we should also have a sticky that lets us post obituaries & pics of our dearly departed pets? Maybe a "Rainbow Bridge" sticky? It would be sad and happy. It is very sad when a pet dies. And many of us tell the rest of the group when one of our pets does die. Telling others is one way to grieve. There have been a number of posts lately about dear pets that have died. And the stories are very difficult to read. And yes, our heart tugs with every tale.

A thread that would let us tell of our pet, and post a picture, would be a way to memorialize the RV pets that have travelled to the other side.

Simple ground rules.
1. Posts are limited to individual pet "obituaries" and no personal replies please as they will be deleted without explanation.

2. Pictures exceeding 640 pixels width or 480 pixels in height will be edited to comply within those dimensions.

if you have any questions, free to send me a private message

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 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....

It has been very hard for me to post this. I have been wanting to for a very long time.

Knight Rider came into my life one night in April. For 12 yrs, he road with me over many thousands of off-road miles. Went to every event, lived in the 5er with me. Went though a very bad time in my life, and my recovery of my first 3 back operartions.
He was my sole family. Without him, I would not be here today. He saved my life twice.
He loved to hunt. The pic below, was his last hunt. I had to put him down that night.
I will miss him forever

Josey, your life was a struggle from day one, yet you always had a ready smile and a joke to play!

Enjoy this renewed health!
Instigate your favorite moose-dog games with great exhuberance.
Continue protecting those needing your gentle care.
Please show your sweet face when your name is called.
Keep up with your tap-dancing!
And you know all of that food is not for you!

Keep smiling, girl!
