I'm sorry. RIP...run free...

 

sorry for your loss.

looks like he was well taken care of, and you got to decide when the best time for him was to go.

 

I don't know if this is it...but it's a sweet one. It says "bully" but that's ok... so very sorry for your loss. My senior pit girl, Natas, went last November after extended ailments as well. They are livin' it up together now. Play hard in heaven, guys. XOXO


My little bully passed away, no more to breathe a sound.
I held him for the last time, then entombed him in the ground.
Day and night I wept so much, in tears I thought I'd drown.
I searched my soul for comfort, but no peace therein was found.
In great despair, I hit my knees and then began to pray.
"Father will I ever see, my dog again someday?"
I raised my eyes and saw an angel standing near a gate.
I sensed an inner peace I'd never felt before that day.
The angel smiled and said to me, "Oh man of little faith!
God sees every bird that falls; He knows your bully's fate.
I have met your little dog, I saw him pass my way.
Your precious dog is still alive; he just walked through this gate.
Paradise is lovelier than you can comprehend.
No pain or grief, no tears or fears, and life will have no end.
God gave to man His only Son, to cover all his sins.
So why would God withhold from you, your pure and loving friend?"
The angel took me by the hand and said, "Now come with me.
A glimpse of paradise I'll give, to you so you can see."
Through the gate and o'er the Rainbow Bridge we did proceed.
Through green valleys filled with flowers, rolling hills and trees.
"Wow, so this is paradise!" The place was filled with joy.
I saw my bully playing there, with dogs and cats and toys.
He also had some doggie treats, and food that he enjoyed.
He'd made a lot of new friends there, including girls and boys.
Then I saw a child come near, and hug my little mate.
She said to him, "I love you so," and kissed him on the face.
The angel said, "The child just crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.
Now she needs a little friend, to love and help her play.
God's love for her would be enough, in that make no mistake.
But in His love, He knew full well, the child would want a mate.
This is why God called your dog unto this splendid place.
God's entrusted her with him, 'til you pass through the gate."
I pleaded, "May I hug them both?!" The angel answered, "No, my son you'd violate a sacred site, and now it's time to go."
He led me back across the Bridge and through the gate to home.
He left me there with new-found hope and peace within my soul.
If someone ever asks what happens to a dog that dies,
Just give a gentle smile of joy and look them in the eye.
Take their hand and comfort them and tell them not to cry.
For dogs don't die, they simply cross a bridge to paradise.

 

I'm so sorry. He was such a handsome old man. It's obvious you took great care of him and despite how hard it is now, you gave him the ultimate gift: the chance to leave this world with dignity and without pain.

 

I am so sorry to hear that. Take comfort in knowing you did what was best for him. RIP Redboy.

 

i'm very sorry for your loss! RIP old boy.

My condolences for your less, RIP.

 

Aww - Cliff, so sorry to hear about Red Boy.

 

Thanks everybody for the kind words, it means alot.

Redboy had a good life. He traveled alot in his younger days to dog shows from Maine to South Carolina and from Massachussetts to Michigan. He was not very conformationally correct but that didn't matter to me because it was always about getting out for the weekend and having a good time and showing my support for the clubs hosting the shows.

Who has the Rainbow Bridge poem. Could you please post it.
Thank You.

 

I am so sorry for your loss.

 

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....
