Rest sweetly Gobie

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.

    Rest sweetly Gobie

    It's been a crazy week.  Jess came home (yay).  Gobie's cough seemed to be worsening so as you know I took him in for the xray and found the cancerous spleen and enlarged heart.

    Couple days ago his cough went from infrequent to far too frequent.  Night before last and last night he got so he couldn't stop coughing. He was clearly miserable.

    You know, "they" say you know when it's time because the look in the dog's eyes tells you.  It happened last night. 

    So we sent him on his way, he was not afraid, but very calm.  Since we are "back home" we were able to take him out to the farm which has been in the family for years.  He's buried next to other family dogs and cats and goats.  My dad came out and helped Jess dig a grave.

    Wow, it has hit me hard and I am full of sorrow but he is no longer hurting.  I expect his is busily peeing up a storm at the bridge. :)

    Goodbye my sweet minpin terror.

     My teacher, my friend, Good dog.

     Sorry to hear about Gobie, but I think he's probably meeting up with Fergie right about now for a romp in the meadow...at least, I'd like to think so.

    Run free, Gobie.  I'm really glad you got to spend your last days with your entire family, particularly Jess.  I'm sure that was a comfort.

    ((hugs)) Shammy... that's a long time to have a friend in your life, especially when being a military family means changes all the time.  My deepest condolences.  There are a lot of friends over the Bridge for him, and plenty here on dog.com for you.  Extra hugs to your kids...
