My best bud died today

[Suby]

I feel your pain, lost my girl a few months back, she was 3, we think leptosemia.
I still wake up at night to let her out, I still hurry to pickup any food I drop on the floor, still hold my breath when I open the door home.
My wife and I cried for days, still do sometimes and I'm not especially weepy.
It gets better though, I can't imagine spending 14 yrs with a friend and losing him, having a dog still felt new to us.

I wish you the best, he's still with you.

I've lost some, all very special. I love all animals, but dogs gotta be in the top spot. Neat poem found one day just surfing.



Rainbow Bridge
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....

I'm sorry for your loss of a dear friend. I can't imagine what it will be like when mine goes. I know his time is coming to a close, but like the poster said earlier it's better to have loved than to never loved at all.
Just remember he will always be in your hearts and you should cherish the memories you had with him forever.
