Lost our baby today

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....

Baby is safe and happy now, waiting for you both.

One Fine Day.

I'm sorry to hear you have lost Baby, she looks so sweet on the picture. You will miss her and so will Cracker, but you have made the right decision not to let her suffer anymore. I know she'll always be in your heart.

Rest in Peace, Baby!

RIP sweet Baby. You had a good, long life with your purrents and now you wait at the Rainbow Bridge until you all can be reunited again.

I'm so sorry your first post on Pet Talk had to be on Baby's passing. I hope you do hang around and get to know us. We can help you walk through your grief. That's how I joined Pet Talk over four years ago when my Goldie had to cross over due to cancer too. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Baby looks so much like my Scrappy 2, the Tuxedo Cat who came in from the cold.
I am sorry to hear about Baby , its so sad to lose a Cat at that young an age. 9 is so young.
And Babys now got her wings and is joining the Pet Angel Army in India, staying at Hotels thats were once Palaces, and dining at banquets.
And shes starting to mark down places that she and her family will enjoy when they get together again.
One Fine Day.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your Baby. She was indeed lucky to have found you, your wife, and Cracker to make her feel so safe and loved during her time here. Your love obviously continues on in letting her run free at the bridge. Thank you so much for sharing this sweet little girl with us. {{{Cyber-hugs to you and your family.}}}

Thanks to you all for your messages. We took Baby to be cremated today. We will pick her up tomorrow along with her urn. Your heartfelt messages mean alot to me and my wife. While it is still very hard to even talk about Baby without tears we are blessed with people like you who know how we feel. Cracker is wondering around the house. Trying to find Baby I would guess. We are giving cracker alot of xtra love and petting as I know he miss's her also. Again, thank you all. We have to leave out tomorrow for six weeks on our truck. Not having Baby with us will be another challenge for us. I do have a laptop with cingular wi-fi so I will be getting back to the forum as time permits. Thanks to all! Rick, Sue, and Cracker.
