Sheba is at the Rainbow bridge

:( Such a hard thing to do, I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
Safe Journey, dear Sheba.

I am so very sorry for your loss. :( (((HUGS)))

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

RIP Sheba. You will be missed.

OH Karen, I am so sorry. I am sitting here crying. You know how much I loved your two furkids. I know Sheba was starting to have trouble getting up and stuff. Oh, I don't even know what to say. I can't quit crying. I am so very very sorry.

Rest In Peace, Dear Sheba. I know you will be woo woo aroooing away at the Rainbow bridge, sweetie. Keep an eye on your mom and Rocky.

Oh, Karen, I just can't quit crying.

{{{HUGS}}}

Oh Karen i am so sorry.. you will be in my thoughts {{Hugs}}. Rest easy Sheba, you will be dearly missed sweet girl :(.

We saw an Akita on the way to the vet's today with it's head sticking out the window of a truck, as soon as I saw it was an Akita... I thought of you.

{{{hugs}}} to you and Rocky.

Oh goodness :( My condolences go out to you and Sheba. She was a beautiful girl and she certainly lived a long, wonderful, healthy life. Rest in peace, Sheba.

Like so many Pet Talk Members , posting above me, I felt a weight decending onto me when I looked at the pictures of your Sheba , on her 13th Birthday.

(I had dial up then, but, I have been fortunate now , to see her!!!)

I'm so sorry that you had to endure what was Right and Just for such a Special Family Member. It is one of the most difficult decisions are faced with.

When We had to put our 13 year old dog to sleep,( Katie Lynn, 2003) I found comfort on the internet while finding this article by Ben Lampman~

Offered in 1925!!!

I printed a portion of it and have framed it. It is Healing me, to say the least.

The Place to Bury a Dog~

There is one place to bury a dog,
If you bury her in this spot,
She will come to you when you call,

Come to you, over the grim-dim frontier of death,
And down the well remember path,
And to your side again.

And though you may call a dozen living dogs to heel,
They shall not growl at her, nor resent her coming,
For she belongs there.

People may scoff at you---Who see no lightest blade of grass
Bent by her foot fall, who hear no whimper~
People who may never have had a dog.

Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them,
and is
Well Worth Knowing~
The Best Place to Bury a Good Dog,

Is in the Heart of Her Master~



Again, We Know of Your Sorrow and Loss~

May your Beautiful Sheba live on and on in Sweet Memories :o

I am deeply sorry for the loss of Sheba. Thoughts & prayers are with you at this tough time.

I'm so sorry you had to make that decision. It's the hardest of all and the kindest thing you can do. She had a wonderful life with you, and you with her and you will see her again. My best wishes to you.

I am so very sorry for your loss, my husband and I know all too well how heart wrenching this decision can be but its also the most loving selfless thing you could have done for her. She will always know how much you love her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

beautiful poems. I really appreciated them and I needed them.
Thank you all again.

Sheba will be missed terribly!!!!!!!RIP BELOVED FRIEND TO MY SISTER!!!!
