Maggie

Rainbow Bridge

The Rainbow Bridge is the theme of a work of poetic prose written some time between 1980 and 1992, whose original creator is unknown. The theme is of an other-worldly place to which a pet goes upon its death, eventually to be reunited with its owner.

    Maggie

    As many of you know, we have had the joy of owning an English Springer Spaniel named Maggie for many years. If you remember she was pretty sick a couple months ago and we took her to the vet.  After several medications and treatments she was back in okay health.  Unfortunately her condition got pretty bad over the course of a few weeks.  She got to the point where we couldn't see the sparkle in her eye anymore, and she didn't seem happy.  We tried to pro-long her life as much as possible with more medications, but she just wasnt happy.
     
    This morning we said goodbye to her, and she left for the rainbow bridge.Im still extremely upset and so is everyone that knew Maggie, she was such a great dog.  I don't know if we will ever have a dog like Maggie again.
     
    I feel so sad....

    I'm so very sorry to hear about Maggie.  There will never be another like her but she'll always hold a special place in your heart.  I hope she make lots of friends with all of our little loved ones that are already at the Bridge.  You are in my thoughts....
     
    Run Free, Maggie [sm=angel.gif]

    Im so,so,sorry.Im sure maggie is somewhare now, searching through cover for that pheasant, tail wagging like mad, pink tongue hanging out, being the mad thing that all springers are!!! The best thing you can do is give another springer the oppertunity to have the same life as maggie had.You have my sympathies.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know all too well how heartbreaking it is to make that decision, and the grief that follows seems unbearable.  It sounds like Maggie was one of the fortunate dogs who was blessed by a devoted and loving human family, and now that she's an angel, she can share all that love with the animals who aren't similarly blessed.
     
    Best wishes to you.  Run free Maggie, you are deeply missed by your family.

    The hurt goes away as she crosses the Bridge.
     
    Run free, Maggie.
