Oh I do hope there is a Rainbow Bridge.
« on: April 26, 2006, 08:03:05 am »
I guess I'm typing just to try and understand. I'm here at my home alone with Sassy my Big Girl. My husband just called to say Seamus is gone...... (my husband drove  him into another State this morning thinking he had a bowel problem) I just really don't understand, It just really can't be, I know I just must have nodded off or something and I'm mistaken and my husband will be coming back from the hospital in a few hours with "goofy boy" all better and happy.... I have to get this organized in my mind so I can make some sense of this.. If I try and think organized thoughts and figure out what happened I won't be thinking of how drastically my, our, Sassy's and my lives will be different without Seamus. He was only 18 months, that is so unfair to have such a whirlwind happy go lucky puppy wiggle into your lives at 8 weeks as a surprise Christmas present and be gone, two winters, this would have been his 2nd spring.
Sorry I'm a little off here. Have to think how happy he was, I have so many pictures....., have to think how happy he made all of us, how special We must be to have been able to share his buoyant enthusiasm. Yes have to think how lucky I was to share in Seamus's unique joy of life.. he loved mornings, from dawn and well I could go on , how very special Seamus is to the ST. Bernard 's everywhere he contributed HEART and Laughter

I'm so very sorry.  Someone told me just the other day that the reason we have to live longer than dogs is that they learn how to love unconditionall y and bring joy to everyone so much more quickly than we do.  Sounds like your Seamus mastered that art even more quickly and at a younger age.  Still doesn't make it easier, though.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss  :'(  My heart is still raw from losing my German Shepherd, Boss, last week, but his passing was expected, and he had lived a good full life.

I don't know what to say, I can't imagine losing one so young.  God speed, Seamus  :'(

I have to believe there is a rainbow bridge.  I can't imagine heaven without my dogs.

I am soooo very sorry for your loss. I too have lost a dog at a very young age. I lost my male great dane Tonka, at the age of 8 months. I am here if you ever need to talk.

This is honor of all the dogs that have passed over the rainbow bridge. some parts need some work, but i wanted to let you know how sorry i am, but you'll see him soon.

I thought of you

I thought you were my best friend,
I thought we’d stay together ‘till the end.

I thought we agreed to leave together,
But you had other plans, and flew like a feather

I thought you said you couldn’t be broken
But you sure broke when He offered the token.

I thought you’d die, all cozy in bed.
With me by your side resting your head.

I thought of you when I lay down to sleep,
I thought of you, then counted your sheep.

I thought of you when morning arose,
I thought of you and your wet little nose.

I thought of you when lunchtime came,
I thought of you and your AKC name.

I thought of you when dinner was ready,
I thought of you and said “such a pity”

I thought of the way you herded your cattle
I thought of the way you won every battle.

I thought of the way you jumped every hurdle,
With dumbbell in mouth, you would not curdle.

I thought of you coming out of that tunnel,
I thought of the times you sat down to cuddle

I thought of the way you woke me up
You’ve licked my face since you were a pup.

Of coarse there is a Rainbow Bridge...If for no other reason, if you believe in God & Heaven, because our fur babies mean so much to us...No Creator would leave us without them or them without us for Eternity...One sweet day Seamus will bound happily to great you...Only then will all your questions be answered...Fin d peace...all things in this vast universe unfold exactly as they should...for whatever reason there is...find peace in that. :-*
