Thank you soooo much everybody. You've made me smile.

What do you think of this idea-- I am going home later this week to visit my parents, will be bringing Dad's father's day gift w me then. He was especially attached to Bear, she was my Christmas gift to him in 1989. (OK, so it was a selfigh gift, I took one look at her cute puppy self and fell in love)

Well, I have a TON of pics of my photogenic puppy from the past 13 years, I thought about putting some of them together in a book for my dad....????

I just wanna say that I'm really sorry. Our dog Belle passed away in Feb. It was all of a sudden. I'm just glad that I got to see her that morning before I went back to school (i just randomly came home for some reason and I'm glad i did). So I know how hard it can be. ***Hugs***

I think the scrapbook would be good. I blew up a pix of me and my dog and framed it for my mom for Mother's Day. I'm sure he would like that.

Losing a pet is hard, I lost two of my dogs within a year of each other. It does get better over time, even though it's been 6 years I still tear up over them but I also laugh remembering all the great times we had. I think the scrapbook sounds like a great idea! I would give anything to have a scrapbook of Muffin or Lucky.

I'm sorry that you had to lose a part of your family like that! Dogs trully do bring us much happiness and become a part of our lives.
I hope you'll be able to remember the good times and keep those memories with you always!

I love this piece; has anyone ever read it?

RAINBOW BRIDGE

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 our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plently of food, water and sunshine,and our friends are waem and comfortable.

All the animals who have been ill or 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 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 begings 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 to each other in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress that beloved head and you look once more into those trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from you heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
