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.
After my dog passed about 8 years ago, I woke up one night, a few nights after, and saw a bright figure at the foot of my bed. Had a white robe on, and a dog in his arms. Never said anything, just smiled and kept petting the dog. I realized it was my dog that had just died, and to this day, I'm convince the figure was either Jesus or an angel or something from heaven, letting me know that he's no longer in pain and that everything is okay, and that we'll see him again one day.
Sorry for slightly hijacking the thread OP, I felt that I should share my story and that it might give you a sense of hope after this horrible tragedy.
Prayers, and lots of love going to you and your loved ones.
Hold em tight folks. Their lives with us are short, but they fill us with so much love and so many memories.
Your story gave me goosebumps! I have always believed that our beloved pets will be there waiting for us when we get there. Heaven just wouldn't be perfect without all of the pets we have loved throughout our lives!
Pets are gods creatures too. They don’t have the sinful nature we do, so why wouldn’t God have them in Heaven waiting for their owners? That’s how I see it.
My dog humps a stuffed animal in the corner till he literally falls over and starts snoring and farting. I heard a commotion in my back yard earlier and found my cat with a baby bird in his pounce being scalded by mommy and daddy. This is just today.. The other day one of my horses ate a baby chicken like it was a little walking yellow apple. Idk about anyone else, but it's a far stretch to say that pets don't have a sinful nature; my pets are god damn heretics. Mine arent the only ones either
Someone told me this same thing happened after a loved one had passed and he did not yet know she had passed! He said she was made of light and energy and was recognizable. She let him know she was okay!
My sweet good boy doggo is getting old. His black fur is now very grey. His white puff of chest hair is no longer distinguishable. Last year my neighbors dog attacked him and hurt him badly and I had to tackle that dog and fucked him up with my bare hands. Ever since then he has been even more close to me. You can tell he knows I saved him.
I’m so sorry. I feel your pain. My little dog was hit by a car over Christmas. Everyday gets a bit better but I truly feel like I lost a best friend. Dogs are mans best friend and I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear and especially being so young. I lost a 10yo lab a week ago to cancer so i'm right with you. My aussy will appreciate the belly rub and head scratches you sent though. God bless and happy 4th.
Took mine for a 30 minute walk at 7 am cuz it was gonna be too hot later n i didnt want her to miss out. Feeling for your loss friend. Dogs are the best.🙏
I just had to put my best friend husky into the big sleep two weeks ago and it still sucks. Huskys are the best, she would howl and chase me around and try mounting other dogs at the park. One of my cats misses her bathing him too. I’m sorry for your loss man.
I'm so sorry you lost your dog-friend, and at such a young age. I'd never heard of this disease before, so I looked it up. Apparently it can infect people too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastomycosis
I'm sorry for your loss, giving scritches to my good boy. Our 11 year old cat just passed with complications of kidney failure, it's hard to lose furry friends.
God bless you as well. My wife and i have been rescuing dogs and cats both for roughly 20 years and we feel your loss very deeply. It’s a horrible thing to endure. Hang in there friend. I like to believe that all our lost friends will be waiting for us in the hereafter.
Don't have a furry friend right now, but I actually made a point of passing by my neighbor's gate to pet theirs after reading this. The little bugger can be annoying when he barks during the day, but he's a good boy and appreciated it.
I’m really sorry to hear. I often find myself thinking about people losing their dogs when I spend time with mine... maybe I’m trying to soften the blow for when that time actually comes... but it comes for all dog owners sooner or later. But also think of how special it is for your dog to have an owner grieving for its loss as it departs earth... it probably felt like the luckiest dog in the world.
All the best, Pede.
I'm sorry, friend. I've lost 5 over the years and it never gets easier. Currently have one left and hes lookin like hes gonna be immortal. I expected him to pass years ago but hes a 14 year old pit who looks like he could easily be around 2 or 3 more years.
Near this Spot
are deposited the Remains of one
who possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferosity,
and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.
When mine lost his brother he would not eat for a few days. His brother was the vocal one who would demand a few pieces of bread a couple of times a day and he benefited also. He did not know the magic WHOOOOOO. in order to make that happen. His brother would whoooo. and gesture with his head toward the breadbox in case you didn't understand what he wanted. Poor brother didn't know how , so depended on me to offer it to him. After his best friend died I waited 2 weeks and got a puppy. She was annoying as hell , but soon they were lying together . Cleaning each other's ears. Then I had to stop his pain and suffering and now the girl is alone. Someday, before too long I will find a rescue needing a home and a friend for her again.
I might have to take a job overseas and leave my dog with mum for a while. If I get the job I am worried about sending her to a 3rd world country to live. She will be safe in the compound which is huge but it is probably never go out of it
I might give up more money I will see in my life for my dog. I am torn
I'm so very sorry. Dogs have always been a part of my life, so I know exactly how you feel right now. Just know that your pupper loved you and was happy you were with him/her there at the end. Dogs love so completely, they truly are the best animals on earth. They are for us and we are for them.
My GSD passed away with cancer, hurts a lot to lose them, but he loved me unconditionally and was very loyal. They bring out the best in us. Time heals all. Praying for you.
3 years.. just wrong. So sad for you. Its a great shock when a young dog becomes so ill. Lost my Dixie baby girl. I'm sure you mind and heart are suffering. His life before illness was good though, wasn't it? That's because of you.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Oh Pede!!! You’re in my prayers! Don’t forget, all dogs go to heaven! Hug.
They certainly do.

Weird weather today. It just started raining out of the blue
I'm seriously tearing up.
But really, I fully believe this 100%

I've heard people say they have had similar experience so there's no doubt to me that these experiences are real.
Gives me so many goosebumps but so much hope
I'm not crying.....It's these dang onions again!

Looking at my old girl misting up thinking about it. Sorry for your loss pede. Dogs really are man's best friend.
So very sorry, pede. Praying for ya. bro hug

We seriously have the best dogs here, Pedes.
I’m praying for your good boy/ good girl. They are truly sent from Heaven.
I just had to put my best friend husky into the big sleep two weeks ago and it still sucks. Huskys are the best, she would howl and chase me around and try mounting other dogs at the park. One of my cats misses her bathing him too. I’m sorry for your loss man.
Come With Me
God saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him And whispered, “Come with me.”
With tearful eyes we watched him suffer And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Aw gee. Well of course I have to cry again today about loss
argh, this is so sad
you're in my thoughts
sending you love
I'm so sorry you lost your dog-friend, and at such a young age. I'd never heard of this disease before, so I looked it up. Apparently it can infect people too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastomycosis
I'm so very sorry. Our pets are our family. I'm sure your Husky had the best and most loving life with you. Bless.
I'll take our doggo out for another lap, and maybe a hose off, too. Sorry for your loss. Your pupper is resting, comfy, and well fed, I'm sure of it
I'm sorry to hear that. It's never easy to lose man's best friend, or any furry friend for that matter. You've always got family here
I'm sorry for your loss, giving scritches to my good boy. Our 11 year old cat just passed with complications of kidney failure, it's hard to lose furry friends.
God bless you as well. My wife and i have been rescuing dogs and cats both for roughly 20 years and we feel your loss very deeply. It’s a horrible thing to endure. Hang in there friend. I like to believe that all our lost friends will be waiting for us in the hereafter.
Waiting for you in Eden my friend. This too shall pass. Hang in there. God will bless you again in His amazing way.
I’m sorry for your loss.

Sorry bud. I know it’s rough. If it were me I’d take a little time to let the grief settle then get another puppy

Epitaph to a dog
God bless you and your puppy.
So sorry for the loss of your pup. Three years is way too young 💔
Sorry to hear it. Always a tough one.
sorry fam. Gonna be lost when something happens to my 2 pups...

That's a real loss bro. Sorry.
I hate to hear this. I lost my dog 6 years ago from a strange disease. I'm sorry for your loss. They stay with you forever.
You're most certainly in my prayers.
Deepest sympathy to you, pede.
Walked my guys 3 miles today. They loved it. Got to bark at some geese too. Sorry for your loss.
I'm so very sorry. I know how heartbreaking it is to lose one of our wonderful dogs.
Relax this weekend and enjoy your memories of the short time you spent together. xoxoxo
<3 <3 <3
Sorry for your loss. My condolences. It's never easy.
Sorry to hear family.
Dogs are truly the best people ever
I might have to take a job overseas and leave my dog with mum for a while. If I get the job I am worried about sending her to a 3rd world country to live. She will be safe in the compound which is huge but it is probably never go out of it

Sometimes I'll just be loving on my doggo and I'll have thoughts about not having him around one day and it tares me up. I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry to hear that! Blasto is a total bitch. Take care and be well.
Sorry fren, I feel your pain.
My GSD passed away with cancer, hurts a lot to lose them, but he loved me unconditionally and was very loyal. They bring out the best in us. Time heals all. Praying for you.
Very sorry for your loss, pede.
