As you say, you knew he had a good home, and was happy and well cared for and loved. You will see him one day again. I wonder where our cats go, probably in among all the other creatures and they will all get on. I know Felix has no problems with dogs whatsoever. It is all beyond our control what happens afterwards, but we have to hope and have faith that a better place awaits us and our animals. Hope so Ant, really really hope so.
If you don't mind me asking how did you come across Rainbow Bridge? I just had a look at ebay and there are company's selling these plaques they are tastefully done with reverence to our lost furbabies.
Thanks Ant, I do have a paypal account, and usually look at both sites if I am looking for something. I will have a look later, as I am also looking for something for back up if my lappy dies on me again. Nothing too expensive though, as my fridge-freezer is going on the blink too, and my printer is broken. I think most of us spend long period of time confined to the indoors and we end up doing e shopping, I got myself a lovely laptop from ebay they were ex military and going for a song at the time hope yours lasts for some time yet hate to lose you now we sort of made friends.
Hugs Ant. Don't worry Ant, I was offline for a week and it was terrible, so want a cheap back up in case lappy fails again. It is only two years old, so should be good for a while yet.
Just want something to have as back up. Trouble is my brain cannot disengage from being on my laptop that is windows 8 touch screen. Hi Ant, I don't want a tablet, so was hoping for a netbook, an inexpensive one though. They seem to be android running though which I am not familiar with, although some people say they are easier than windows. I will leave it for a while, unless a real bargain comes up. I am going to copy this to hand out to people who have animals, or have lost them as it may bring some comfort along with Ant's Rainbow Bridge, which is further up this thread.
I think that's wonderful - I for one have been not only moved by this, but also believe it, because it makes such sense to me - thank you. I am so glad that you have been moved by the story and believe it too. It truly does make sense, and is comforting as well, and you are welcome. Sorry about that, I had myself sobbing too when I first came across it, and again when typing it out, and again when Ant talked about Rainbow Bridge. I like the explanation of young Shane, sometimes kids just get it.
I have been reading all these wonderful messages with interest. They prove to me how we love our pets but I dont have a dog. But I do have a wonderful cat, Malcolm, who is seeing me through a difficult period. He seems to know what is going on and follows me around. I don't have a dog any more, but like many others here I have my cat Felix, who adopted me years ago.
He has the markings of a border collie dog, and he does behave like a dog sometimes. He is very clingy, follows me around and lately has taken to sleeping on my head. LOL Cats are wonderful companions too, it just so happened that the story I found on the internet was about a dog, but it could apply to all our furry friends. Animals are such a blessing and do definitely help when times are tough. It is a known medical fact that stroking an animal lovingly lowers your blood pressure.
I am sorry you are having a difficult time just now, but glad you are getting some comfort from Malcolm. I am sure he senses that you are distressed, as animals are so aware of our feelings. Sending you best wishes and I am sorry for what you are going through. Love the story of Dogs Huggs, was at Vets Monday night with a heavy heart. Though Moss my springer would be put to sleep.
He obviously have not lived enough yet I am sorry Moss was sick, but I am not clear if he has been put to sleep or not. I had typed out a reply to you as I thought you had lost him, as you used the word though, then I re read your post and then wondered if 'though' was a typo error, and you really meant thought?
Which would mean you still had him. I am glad you like the story and explanation. All the best,. I've never heard that before Huggs! What a lovely way to look at things. I'm sure it would help so many people who have to make that awful decision.
I wish I had come across this years ago, but I like the explanation and hope it brings comfort to other people too. I first saw it a few weeks ago, and then couldn't find it again, so when I did, thought I would share it, because as you say, it is a lovely way to look at things.
Oh huggs, this just made me weep. My best friend, who we share a lovely dog with has this minute dropped her off before going into hospital for a 20 hour operation cancer of the tongue necessitating all kinds of reconstruction too with 10 surgeons working on her no-one tell me that the NHS is rubbish. I will save this for her when she is well enough. Dora the dog did all those doggy things you hear about around the site of her tumour too. Dogs are amazing. You couldn't have known but thank you so much for just the right post at an emotional moment xxx.
It made me and others weep too, but it is so comforting as well. As you say dogs really are amazing, and their intelligence is often underestimated. I am so sorry about your friend going through this huge operation and my thoughts are with her and I hope everything goes well. Poor soul, she has a long road ahead, but it sounds as if she is getting excellent care. Did you seen ant's post on this thread about Rainbow Bridge? That had me in rivers of tears for ages yesterday.
I even dreamt about it last night. I am so glad I posted the story now, as I did have some doubts, but it is so lovely that I just had to share it, in the hope that others too would find comfort in it. You are welcome, and glad you will be able to share it with your friend.
This is a lovely thread - still a bit "teary" from reading all your thoughts and experiences but thought this might help.
