Run Free, Rex (meg)

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.

    Run Free, Rex (meg)

    My parent's dog, my childhood dog, Rex, went in for bladder stone removal surgery this morning. During the surgery it was discovered that there was too much scar tissue within his urethra and bladder for him to recover, and my parents opted to have the vet not bring him up from anesthesia. My parents are heartbroken, I've been in tears on and off all night...it was just so unexpected.

    Have a blast at the Bridge, Rexington. I think there's got to be some dog-loving nut to drive all the boat dogs around on the River of Life, that's where my Rex is...

     Oh, Meg, I'm so sorry. He was such a handsome boy!

    He was a very handsome guy, Jennie. Very BIG. The pics I have of him don't do him justice, but he was a very 'leggy' 80 lbs. I always felt safe with him because, while he was obviously just a big brindle dog, people are dumb and thought he was a PIT BULL (right...) and no one would mess with him. He was one of the few big dogs Pirate actually LIKED - poor Rex would bow to Pirate's every growl.

    My parents are so sad - I called my mom to check on her and she said, 'no more dogs'. I don't really blame her.

     Run free and fast, Rex.

    • Gold Top Dog

    I'm so sorry....run free Rex.

    Its so hard when they go so fast...without warning....but better that they didn't need to go thru suffering...better that your parents didn't have to watch him suffer.  But so sad to loose your best friend.

    I understand your mom saying "no more dogs." I said the same when I lost my heart with Bubblegum......but Gibson helped to get thru that pain. Keep that in mind for the future for your parents.
