Our Dear Sweet Boy Charlie

No one really knows who wrote this -- but for me (and many others) it simply feels like something God would do for us.  I have many waitng for me there -- and many of my friends' pets also.  Many I've rescued and many I've known.

Even my own sweet Billy is there now.  But I know him well enough that as he came racing over the Bridge he yelled to Foxy, Kee Shu and the rest of his friends "It was NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT that old IMHA -- just my heart.  But I'm here now and where-re the tennis balls????"

If you've never read it this is the Rainbow Bridge poem.  One of the forum topics on here is Rainbow Bridge (and one of the gals will add Charlie's pic if you want them to).  But there is a whole website devoted to this at:  Rainbows Bridge Click This

Charlie feels fine today -- and he'll be happy while he waits in that Meadow ...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

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.

So sorry for your loss.  You've got my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences on your loss.

Run free Charlie!

Run free sweet Charlie, we will be here to help your humans. 

Callie helped me through the loss of our sweet Shadow by introducing us to the Rainbow bridge.  It provided a lot of comfort  knowing he was no longer in pain and was free to enjoy the meadows and all the others that had gone before him. 

We are here to help you grieve and move on if you need us.

I am so very sorry for your loss, Rest Easy Charlie.

Run free Charlie - your family will always remember you with love.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  Many of us know how heartbreaking it is to lose a beloved pet and how profoundly a dog can be missed.  Sending you and your family comfort vibes as you go through the grief process.

Run free, Charlie!  I'm so sorry for your loss.

My heart breaks for you folks!!

She has posted over in the IMHA thread -- he was going thru blood at an alarming rate - like a transfusion a day.  These folks have been thru an unbelievably difficult holiday.  *hugs*

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart really breaks for you. RIP dear Charlie.

 I'm so sorry for your loss. Run free Charlie.

 Run free and fast, Charlie.

Run free, Charlie.

Run free and feel GOOD, Charlie.  There is a little white JRT new to the bridge as well.  His name is Nigel.  There are so many others that will be happy to keep you company.

I am very sorry to hear about Charlie.  Its very difficult losing a beloved pet.  Stick around here, hopefully we can help you pass the days with our stories and conversation.

Run free Charlie.  You are loved.
