I'm a bit of a Lola Granola and a yarnaholic... I admit to being a thrift store and garage sale aficianado..always on the hunt for that absolutelymusthave item....that...or some kind of life :) Am a slave to my canine companions and am lost when they are no longer with me. Launch my Music Player

Dec 2, 2008 10:30pm: Comet...my best boy...lost to me suddenly and tragically on May 30, 2007. You will be missed more than you could ever know...but I know in my sorrow filled heart that we will have cuddles and go for walks again one day.
You are the companion of my heart.

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, my Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend.
Gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.

I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
Will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take this with you...I loved you best.

Eamonn..so missed and pined for his best friend and brother, that on Nov. 26, 2007 lost the fight to go on and went to join Comet at the Rainbow Bridge. Even though I knew that you wanted to leave, and watched you slip further away every day, it broke my heart to have to let you go. I miss you, and always will..

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 and 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 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. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away 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...
