Okie

You know Natchez and Lillee have come to live with us since you left but they can never take your place. I hope you know that the love and care we are giving them is with you in...

goodbye, Morgan
Our dear friend, Morgan, left us today. This gentle giant of a girl has reached the end of her earthly body and has gone to the Bridge. I met Angela and Morgan because of Morgan and Gypsy. Morgan, a 165 pound Great Dane, met Gyspy when she was ONLY ninety five pounds--and Gyspy was five pounds! She...

My thread to Chinook
I really wish I would've found this forum about a month ago. It would have helped so much with my "kid". I lost him two weeks ago and I still keep thinking when I go outside I will see him sitting underneath his favorite bush. It just looks so cold and empty underneath there. Let me back...

Phantom barks?
I don't mean this in a spooky way. Have you heard of the "phantom phone call" phenomena? It#%92s where you think you hear a phone ringing when you are in the shower, for example. There#%92s a logical explanation for why this happens – nothing supernatural. Even when I still had Princess...

Tank 2-20-01 thru 6-4-06 Too Soon

Goodbye Little One
Although I didn't know you, I felt for you. An innocent little kitty brought into this world. One of God's creatures, so sweet and trusting. I wanted to save you and find someone to love you. The Vet said it was more humane to let you go. Now Little One, you will suffer no more, you will run...

When is it time?
I am faced with a very difficult decision. Abbie, my 13 1/2 year old Dalmatian is in pretty bad shape. She really hasn't been diagnosed with anything in particular, but her vet said she may have pancreatic cancer. In the past 6 months she has lost about 30 lbs and can barley walk. I have to physically...

Baby is gone.....
My dad's cat Baby went to the Bridge yesterday morning. She was an old cat, an ornory cat, but a good cat. He had her for 17 years, and she was his constant companion. I have many good memories with her. I don't know what he'll do now. He never remarried and just lives with his brother. He...
