My sweet Winnie

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.

    My sweet Winnie

    A lot of you have already have offered comforting words, but I want to honor her life here also.  My best friend...

    Marty, that's a beautiful tribute to your lovely Winnie.  She had a very good life with you and will be waiting at the Bridge for you, her mom.
     
    Run free, Winnie. [sm=angel.gif]

    Oh, I got a chill.  A special girl will leave special memories.  Good girl, Winnie!  Hugs to you, Marty.

    That's beautiful, Marty.  No dog could ask for more than to be well loved in a home like yours...

    Marty, what a beautiful way to honor Winnie.  These dogs aren't just 'dogs' to us... they're family and it shows through your tribute to her life.  You & your family are in my thoughts. 
     
    Run Free, Winnie [sm=angel.gif]

    That is SO beautiful.  What a marvelous tribute.

    Marty, what a beautiful tribute you made for Winnie.  She was definitely a sweetheart - you can see it in her pictures and in your description.  As I mentioned in my other post when you told us Winnie was at the Bridge, I asked Tonka to look out for her.  He has a special girlfriend Basset there with him named Zoie, but he was happiest with lots of girls around him, so I know he'll watch over her, too.  And, he loved bread (especially crusty French bread), as well as a good, squishy couch, so he'll be able to show her where to find those things for herself, too. 
     
    I know how much your heart hurts right now.  Sending hugs your way.  I also wanted to tell you about a really wonderful children's book I just found last week (I got it for DH and put it under the Chrtistmas tree from Tonka).  It's called Dog Heaven, and it's so sweet, with heart-warming illustrations.  You might like to add it to your memory collection/scrapbook for Winnie.
     
    Winnie, watch over your Mom on these long, sad days.  She wants to feel your spirit by her side.  And tell my boy that I love him and miss him dearly. [sm=angel.gif]

    That is so beautiful, it has me in tears right now.  Sometimes I think it is even harder to lose them when you have had them since they were tiny pups.  You wonder where the years went...

    What a beautiful tribute for a very special dog.  I'm so sorry Marty, and I hope your wonderful memories bring you some comfort at this difficult time.

    Oh Marty that is beautiful, I am sure our Miss Winnie is looking down and her chest is all puffed out, and when she reads this she howls at the moon, grabs a shoe and goes to the nicest couch on rainbow bridge and relaxes with an angel who looks just like you.

    Marty what a beautiful tribute to Winnie.
     
    Run free sweetie.
