Boss joins the other great GSDs at the Bridge

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.

    How are you doing Emily?  The weeks after are soooo hard, and know that you continue to be in my thots and prayers.

    Thanks for asking, Glenda.  I'm doing, but I'll be ok.  I'm ok when I'm with the other dogs or at school or work, but when I'm alone is when I have time to think...[sm=cry.gif]

    That alone thinking time will get you every time.  I've been in your shoes far too many times to think that anything I can say will help, but I CAN send you some hugs and hope those warm your heart a bit........

    And we are all blessed to have known the love and nobility of a dog.

    I just now saw your post.  I'm so sorry to hear about Boss.  I'm very familiar with the awful decision when an elderly dog is struggling.  I also know how you can be going about your daily business after he's gone, holding it together decently, but once you are alone, it's a dark time, indeed.  Even though we lost our ;precious boy 3 months ago, the minute I walk into my empty house alone, or after I turn out the light to go to sleep and I'm alone with my thoughts, my heartbreak rises right to the surface.  My heart goes out to you.  Run free, Boss.  Your mom misses you, so watch over her.  Take care Emily.

    Thank you Glenda, and everyone all again.  I'm doing better.  I still haven't taken up his bed and water bowl I kept right next to it.  I haven't even washed my shirt that I was wearing when I carried him in that day-it is hanging on my closet door knob.  I haven't slept well, only if I take a benedryl or tylenol, and I end up crying myself to sleep.  I have been sleeping with his collar, I know that sounds dumb, but it helps.
     
    Today was a good day, though, when at work among my coworkers and friends, I was able to cut up and laugh and not think sad thoughts.  I was able to tell them about the wonderful urn that Debbie is doing for him without becoming upset.  He is going to be cremated sometime this weekend, I'm not sure when the ashes will be back, it won't take too long, though.
     
    My mom wanted to bury him, but I couldn't stand the thought of not being able to take him with me if I did move, so I decided on cremation.  I'd rather not do either, I just want him back with me.
