Thank you all.
It was really hard on our youngest kid. Lady was a year older than he is - she has been around forever from his point of view. When we buried Lady, he spent a long time petting her on the head before he would get out of the grave. That was hard to watch. |

What breed was she? Good question, I wish I knew. Her mother was mostly Chow. Her dad was a traveling salesman. ETA: She didn't fetch, rollover, catch or any other tricks. Trying to teach her a trick with a snack as a reward would always result in her giving you a "give me the snack, or don't give me snack, but I'm not jumping through no hoops" sort of look. |

The 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 that 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.... author unknown Sorry for your loss

Beautiful dog and sorry for your loss. I lost my Lady a couple of years ago and I still miss that dog! She looks like she has some Golden Retriever in her. |
