These losses come at you like some unrelenting wave and you are caught up in a swirl of grief and you are totally unprepared.

All I can say is that when Connie let us know of Mr. B's passing, my eyes filled with water and tears ran down my cheeks.

How I wish I could relieve some of your pain.

It hurts all of us when someone we love and admire on this board loses their beloved pet. Yes, I think most of us believe in the Rainbow Bridge - the place where there is no sadness - no pain - every pet is in their prime and healthy. Can't you even picture it sometimes? A beautiful place where our dear pets can play all day...........while they wait for us to join them.
