Rest in Peace Shadow - 07-03-2009, 02:44 AM


It's been a grueling couple of days. It's not going to be easy the next few days either. Wednesday I thought there was hope. Thursday, she went down fast.

I'm so sorry, Roy. I know your heart will ache for a long, long time. She was a sweet girl and a great friend.

I'm so sorry Roy. I hope you will take some comfort in knowing that while Shadow brought you great joy, you did the same for her. I will miss seeing photos of Shadow and hearing of her adventures.

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....

My condolences, Roy. The hardest part of having a pet is losing it. I know you'll miss her.

Our pets become so much a part of the family. They leave a hole whn they are gone.
My condolences, Roy.

Sorry to hear Roy.

I think Shadow would be proud to know that one of the best photographs you ever made is of him.
