Emma is gone

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.

    Oh gosh jennie.....our friends on this board said it all, but this one said it best "YOU put YOUR feelings aside for HERS."

    Bless you for that, because she is at peace...and she went out filled with love.

    I know your pain...I wish I could help.  Just hoping you will be at peace because she is now free of her pain.

    I'm so dreadfully sorry!

     Oh Jennie, I'm so sorry.  I just heard about this in MC, and I'm so crushed for you.  Please accept my condolences

    Run Free Emma...

    I'm so sorry, Jennie.  I honestly don't know what else to say.  We've been on here since I got Willow.  And, Emma has been one of my virtual dogs for so long now. I will miss her pictures and your stories of her personality.  I always could relate well.  I hope you know you did everything right by her.  So, have no regrets.  She's with Teenie now. 

    RIP, Emma Broken Heart

     Just seeing this...I'm soooo sorry. ((((hugs))))

     OMG. Jennie, I'm so sorry. I'm with Lori on the fact so many of us have been on here a long time. I think you and I came on these boards around the same time- me with Daisy. I always thought Emma and Daisy would be great friends- they had the same personality. Daisy will find her up there for sure and with their terrier attitudes and Teenie as well, they'll hunt for the fastest squirrels!

    Ems was your heart dog, and you did everything for her.

    I saw this thread, and couldn't believe that it could be EMMA Emma who was gone.  I remember reading about your rally work, and being so excited and wanting to do the same with Honor.  I'm so sorry Jennie, and I'm thinking about you and Ena Bean and Jewel.  You are such a strong person, to be able to give Emma the dignified leave she deserved.  It shows how much you loved her.  I'm just selfish and can't believe I'm not going to read any more Emma stories anymore. Broken Heart  She was a wonderful dog, and I'm sure Teenie and others were waiting for her.

    Run free, beautiful Emma.

     I, like others, was so shocked when I read the title and just had no idea. I don't post a lot, but there are a few that I follow about their dogs and Emma was one of those. Rest peacefully sweet Emma and my thoughts to you on your loss of your good friend. You did what you knew you had to do. It is never easy.

    Oh nooo.. Sweet Emma.. She's always been one of my favorite dogs to hear about on here (her and Willow...the two who remind me most of Cherokee in whatever way, I guess). I'm so so sorry for your loss Jennie.

    Run free, pretty lil Em...

    Like a few others have said, Emma is one of the dogs I remember from my earliest times on the forum, 3-4 years ago.  Now that I'm not on as much anymore, I thought when I saw the thread's title that there was a good chance it referred to an Emma I hadn't "met" yet.  I was so sad to see that it was your Emma.  I recall reading some posts about some of her medical issues, but I had no idea her health was failing to this degree. 

    Making that final decision is agonizing -- trying to put aside your own heartbreak while deciphering any signals your beloved dog may be giving you that it's time.  Having experienced that with our dog, I completely understand.  I'm sending lots of good thoughts and heart-healing vibes to you and your other dogs as you adjust to life without her physical presence beside you.  But her little spirit is strong, and I suspect you'll continue to feel her influence in your life.

    Run free, sweet Emma - enjoy a life with no pain or struggles at the Bridge!

     I'm so, so sorry. I read in MC about you wanting something for "Emma's ashes" and my heart just dropped. You were such an incredible owner/guardian/friend to Emma, I've always been so impressed with your level of care for her particular needs. Run free, sweet Emma.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Oh no! I'm so sorry!

    Run free Emma!!

    • Gold Top Dog

     Wow, I read this title several times thinking no way.  I even saw your post in the general chat the other day and it didn't occur to me that Emma was gone.  I thought you were just looking at things for the future.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I always loved reading about Emma.  She started out with so much stacked against her but you both worked hard together and it was amazing the bond you both shared.

     Run free Emma!

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  Run free sweet Emma.
