terribly sad news :*(

I have terrible news. You know about my Australian shepherd, Bandit (just turned a year old), right? Well, this past week he was hit by a car, and he didn't make it :*(. I miss him so much. He has been a car chaser before and my dad was fixing the dog lot this weekend so we could put him in it when we are not home, but he didn't do it in enough time. Let this be a lesson to us all, never EVER let your dog run loose next to a road. He had never been a car chaser until we moved. I guess we just didn't see it coming.

Oh how sad! I've known car-chasing dogs before, and it is so scary. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. Remember, Bandit is now playing happily with many other dogs owned by PetTalk people, free and happy at the Rainbow Bridge. And, of course, part of him always be with you, in your heart is a little wiggly spot, Bandit-shaped. Whenever you feel your heart race, picture Bandit running happily along, racing with you. As long as you live, Bandit will live on, in you.

I hope this helps.

This is why cars will be banned, or their use strictly limited, in Pettalkville.

Oh my heart goes out to you!!! What a terrible tragedy!! Bandit was such a beautiful dog. I am so sorry for you. You must be devastated. Remember that he is at Rainbow Bridge now with all the rest of our beloved pets who have passed. This is too sad.

I thank you all for your support. I know that Bandit is at the Rainbow Bridge with all of your animals, having the Angels nearly throw their arms out from throwing so many tennis-balls. I am so glad I have people like you that understand how I feel. Thank you all so much. I know Bandit, as well as your animals, will be waiting for us at the Golden Gates.
Love,
Rachel & the Rainbow Bridge Family

:( So sorry for your loss... What a beautiful boy Bandit was. He will live forever in your heart!

Just wanted to say that i am so very
sorry about Bandit.You have my deepest sympathy...I had noticed his picture before
& always thought that he was a Beautiful and
Special kind of Dog !!!
i'm so very sorry...

Rachel, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. I have been crying ever since I heard about this. Another Pet Talker was kind enough to e-mail me about this. I would have never known otherwise. Please tell me what I can do for you. I will do something with him on the webpage just not sure what yet.

My goodness, this is so sad. I feel like we lost a family member. Honestly I don't what to say because if this had happened to me there would be little that could comfort me until I dealt with this. But, I can say that everyone has said some wonderful and comforting things....I hope you get through this okay. Take comfort in all of your other babies. I'm sure they miss Bandit as much as you all.

Take care sweetie.

God Bless Little Bandit.

When things like this happens, i am speechless. all i can ever say i im sorry.
Ive never had a dog die on me, Simba is actually my first dog. When he goes away, i dont think i would be as strong as you are, id have to end too. I sure hope some one is there with me when Simba passes away to stop me. Again, all i can say is, Sorry.

Oh Rachel, I am so, so sorry. How awful for this to happen to you. He was way too young to go, and you are too young to have to go through this! You poor thing. Bandit was beautiful, and he still is, up at Rainbow Bridge. Just concentrate on the fact that he is happy and safe and pain-free now. Other than that, I don't know what to say. This is awful news. My heart goes out to you. Please know that if you need anything, I or anyone else on this board are here for you. We will help you through this.

I'm so sorry Rachel about Bandit. :( :( But there will be lots of friends waiting for him at the Rainbow Bridge and he will be there waiting for you. He is free of all the pain of this world.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, it's devastating when something like this happens.My thoughts are with you.
