Our beloved puppy was hit by a car last night. She looked and acted sore at first but about an hour after the accident began having breathing problems, and Tony ended up taking her to the emergency vet in Frederick. There they found that she had a problem with her lungs and even though they tried numerous times to release the air from her stomach, it kept getting worse and worse, and finally we told the vet we could not afford to do anything more for her, so they put her to sleep early this morning.
Even though we only had her for such a short time, she will always have a special place in our hearts! You were truely a magnificent, beautiful, animal and we will miss you very much!
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
